Same! My favorite game franchise. WTF?
i think they should make more musicals out of nerd properties beloved by men who i personally find irritating to make them mad. i am an accelerationist for this. make a musical of the punisher
That's a fact. I was just afraid Netflix was doing a live action version when I first read your tweet.
I would have said that about Space Battleship Yamato, except that SBY 2199 proved that you can improve on an original classic. So I might give it a shot.
I was an interview subject in a documentary about the making of 2001: A Space Odyssey, and in it I make a big point about how Kubrick went back to Royal Wedding, a 1951 Fred Astaire movie musical, to figure out how to shoot his space scenes. It's smart to learn from other's experience!
My favorite part are the Joker fanboys who loved a movie about a character who doesn't care what people think of him, suddenly shocked to get a sequel that doesn't care what the manosphere expects of it. When I saw it would have musical numbers I thought "that's the most Joker thing possible.".
I'm also seeing a great disregard and distrust for expertise. and collaboration. It used to be studios let the production and costume designers, DP & VFX Supe figure out what the show should look like. More now I'm seeing the desire to micromanage every pixel by ppl who don't have the time or skill
I started a rewatch of Stargate Atlantis this weekend, and it really holds up. And it only reinforces how broken modern sci-fi television is. We went from 22 episodes a year of fun character driven adventures to 8 episodes every 18-24 months of serialized bleakness.
