  animator in the industry for 15 years! the reason everything is bad now is everything is run according to data and metrics. things can only be remakes because investors need recognizable IP. has nothing to do with creatives, creatives make 0 decisions. spreadsheets and accountants do, so why spend a million dollars to make a movie that isn’t the new moana?

  I don&apos;t think it is coincidental that this cinematic trend is happening at a time when the big media companies are merging into one another to form bigger and bigger corporate leviathans. There&apos;s a reason we consider monopolies undesirable for producing quality products.

  e.g. Hasbro announced this week that, going forward, half or more of all Magic the Gathering sets are going to be collabs. There is going to be a Final Fantasy set, a Marvel set, a Spiderman set (yeah, separate from the general Marvel set), etc.<br><br>I am really starting to despise the Fortnite-ification, FunkPop-ification, slop-ification of all culture.

  &quot;Yes, I want these films to fail. I want them to fail, because they have given me no reason to wish for their success.&quot;<br><b>- Solar Sands</b>

  If anyone has read the manga by Osamu Tezuka, Phoenix, he predicted that this would happen in the manga. That people would be so stuck in nostalgia, that nothing new or innovative would get made.

  I wish that the Minecraft movie had been inspired by the end poem of the game, where it pretty much states that this is just a dream that you can escape into, but you eventually have to wake up from this dream and go to the real world. I wish it was like Steve was running from something bad that happened to him, and he found his way to the Minecraft world, where he’s able to have complete creative freedom and make up stories of grandeur and heroism. But then, when the people fall into that world, it’s a reminder of what he was hiding from, and even though he’ll miss the Minecraft world, he has to go back to the real world, except now he’s stronger because of everything he has done in the Minecraft world. I feel like that would be such a great testament to what Minecraft is at its core: a video game where you can accomplish and do anything you want.

  When you mentioned &quot;death&quot; I thought you were going to talk about characters continuing past their happy endings. Like resurrecting Luke Skywalker or Han Solo just to kill them off. Or Woody and Buzz still having adventures even though Andy&apos;s already grown up. Its that impact that saddens me most. The characters never get to keep their happy ending. There must always be a sequel. Their story&apos;s finished, they&apos;ve overcome the peril, they get to live the rest of their life offscreen, leaving with a smile. But, there must always be a sequel. Continuing something they never were designed for.

  &quot;Have you seen the trailer? Yeah. That&apos;s the movie.&quot;<br><br>It&apos;s surprising how many productions this can be applied to nowadays.
