Begun, the Disney Star Wars onslaught has.

I expect sometime next week they'll announce the new direct-to-video "Ewok Buddies" series.

I liked Under the Dome until the (surprise!) unsatisfying ending.   But up until then it was a solid example of King's "small town gets hit by a supernatural whatsis and everybody goes batshit" sub-genre. 

What can I say, that's my favorite King genre - see also Salem's Lot and Needful Things and many of the Derry stories.

We have a thread about Gary Busey.  It's a big tent here at DiF.

Well, okay. 

Buck up, man.  There's a damn war on.

This is true - there don't seem to be many examples of the "guy sets out to conquer an enemy, then joins with them to fight back against his own people" plotline, outside the modern era.   Other movies with similar elements that I can think of are Little Big Man, Quigley Down Under and Enemy Mine (I give Enemy Mine special props for putting a rather unique spin on the "falling in love with the native girl" subplot. :-)   

Supposedly the earliest example of "Wait a sec - Indians are people, too" was Broken Arrow in 1950, which also has a number of elements in common with the Ferngully plotline.    From the '50's onward, fighting Indians gradually became less of a thing in Westerns, the genre became more about gunslingers and shootouts.   

Even so, there were still occasional throwbacks like Zulu, which was a good old fashioned "let's kill the indigenous for the crime of being here when we invaded" yarn, but those are extremely rare now that empire-building is seen as a mostly negative thing.
