No, it’s like receiving a literal perfect copy of the Mona Lisa for free vs. paying for a receipt that claims you own the Mona Lisa sitting in a museum, crossing your fingers that the asset doesn’t lose value before you can flip it (its only real purpose)

We have a common language where all 3D assets are able to interact, it’s called Unreal Engine. Or, you know, any other game engine.

Well that’s theoretically the idea, to just create a common space and language where all those 3D assets and whatnot should be able to interact and then building tech off of that.

The commentariat isn’t defensive or insulted

“metaverse” as a tech concept is broader than just VR but also ropes in AR and kinda just any and every 3D asset within the hypothetical “-verse.” it has some cool implications for future day-to-day “smart” stuff even if someone’s not into VR.

i think the last MCU movie i saw was the first GotG so my opinion means nothing, but from an outsider’s perspective, the marketing for this is substantially worse than the marketing for the other MCU stuff in recent years, everything I’ve seen about Eternals has made it look boring and cheesy

i know this is a troll, but the spins on this are fun.

The screener leaked over the weekend

true, though i guess that depends if there’s a difference between a short film and whatever this is

when something like this would pop on YouTube and studios would think “hey, we’d get a ton of goodwill from greenlighting this.”

about whether it’s “too soon” to do a film about 9/11 or so-and-so ‘beloved celebrity’ is that they made a film about the Titanic disaster that came out literally a month afterwards and starred one of the people who survived it.

my friends are for some reason adamant that people in Hollywood aren’t juicing. their argument is just “it’s too dangerous, they care about their health, and they have so much free time to do it” lol. of course, i don’t have any hard evidence otherwise so my argument was shit

the closeup pic is even better
