Nightdive’s reputation up to now has been pretty glowing so this is a huge disappointment, and I’d be curious to hear about the decision-making that led to this final product.

There’s no such thing as bad publicity is the lesson she’s learned, and she’s learned it well.

Yes. Also, lots of parents are shitty people who cause their children more harm than good.

and particularly for the benefit of daughter True, who deserves to have a relationship with her father, regardless of his character.

Hey just because they’re a Disney employee doesn’t give you the right to call them a robot! There’s a very small but very real chance that they’re an every day, normal, regular person.

Yeah the B-mode kicks in instantly if the system thinks it isn’t going to land correctly.

Next you’re going to tell us Santa Claus isn’t real.

That robot is probably worth millions so they want to make sure their property is protected.

Most of the rides and attractions at Disney have that. A character will come on the PA and announce that a thematically appropriate Disney villain has messed up the ride and that things will resume as soon as they’re defeated again.

re-read the article, paying attention to tone. 

Um... you know that the swinging Spider-Man at Disney’s California Adventure is a robot, right?

I am writing a short story with a few trans and non-binary people in it and I have managed to confuse myself on a daily basis.

Yeah, you can't call them "he" or "she" because that's inaccurate, but clarifying with their name isn't a terrible idea. So far as I'm concerned misgendering always needs correcting, of course. 

“rape-cannibal allegations against Hammer”.

This movie will be buried in hbomax

At this point they probably should move up the release date to tomorrow just to get ahead of the monthly horror stories that come out about them. The longer they wait, the longer they will have a Flash movie staring Jim Jones!

Yep. Nothing wrong with they/them personal pronouns, but you can’t just treat it as if you’re find-replacing all the he/hims. I know high school writing guidelines forbid the over-repetition of proper nouns but in this case you need ignore your “bad writing” instincts.

I think it’s important to respect people’s pronouns, but can we then bear in mind sentence coherency? There’s a sentence in here that, because of the use of “them,” reads as if Miller was paying for two middle-aged parents to attend Bard College.

I guess it depends how much VFX is left to pay for? If they’re done or effectively done, hard to see them burying the movie instead of giving it a low-promo release. Even Death on the Nile got its theatrical release after the rape-cannibal allegations against Hammer.

I genuinely wonder what they have on people at Warner Brothers that keeps them from just going back to the drawing board with The Flash movie. Like I get that Warner has spent the money on it, but Miller has just reached the point where they are just not worth taking any form of risk.
