I wish people would stop insinuation that family friendly means “made for kids”. Just because something doesn’t drop an F-bomb every scene, and contain several liters of various bodily fluids every episode doesn’t mean it’s “for kids” This is the kind of stale thinking that’s preventing all the different forms of…

Not that different in American animation TBH. It’s a mess.

“Labour shortage”

Best part of that background is how there’s three of the same battleship just sitting next to each other. That’s the problem with AI landscapes. It’s just a bunch of elements thrown together with no real aesthetic or sense of purpose. Good backgrounds tell a story. The only story these tell is “we didn’t feel like…

“The background designer is credited as ‘AI (+ Human).’ Um, I’m pretty sure that the human has an actual name”

Infuriating, tone deaf and extremely disingenuous from Netflix’s part, particularly for people who knows and understand how the animation industry works in Japan.

if they put a risk in their safety, yes

if they aren’t i am saying exactly that

Similar vibe:

I once bought a doughnut and the guy gave me a receipt for the doughnut. I thanked him and moved on. I needed that receipt.

Are The Authority “really connected” to Superman now? (The last time I read The Authority, they weren’t even in the main DC continuity. Could be interesting to do a movie version of “What’s So Funny About Truth Justice and the American way” with the actual Authority instead of stand-ins. Not necessarily good, but…

I’m guessing it’s because she wants to keep getting work.

Yeah not sure why she’d take that down.  I expect everyone except major studios and their PR teams agrees.

She’s entirely correct though.
