    Hes an artist. Hes not allowed to have a negative opinion anymore because otherwise he hears an endless barrage of hateful insults towards his own work.

      While I agree with the sentiment, they can also choose just not to say anything. Especially a Japanese artist. The fact there was effort to make a statement means it's probably genuine. At least in this specific case. And knowing the artist this movie would be to her liking. Stop being a contrarian on everything.

    I bet you a ton of artists feel envious of Spiderverse and know people will compare why their product isn't as good. Complementing fellow 7/10s is no danger though.

              Never said that, both are cheap garbage without anything special about it, neither of them are "art" the only actual difference between those 2 is how much money they made.

        really, I thought it was just cringe "relatable" moments, bad humor, unlikeable annoying characters and a messy message, nevermind how the whole "asian parents are too harsh" is bullshit, east asian american kids are statistically more healthy, happy and sucessful than white, black and latino kids in the US while having a closer relationship with their parents

        elemental trailers make the characters look annoying but they are actually quite nice, they also show an asian coded family in a better way

      The Powerpuff girls. Phineas and Ferb is surprisingly popular. Disney movies in general. Dreamworks isn't nearly as popular though. My sources is just that I like looking up western medias on pixiv.

    All they had to do was not have the racism metaphor and this would be a great movie. But because they had to shoehorn it in there and make it not make sense, it's only an "okay" movie.

      It's slowing down in Burgerland (still respectable stamina though)
      I know "streaming will save it" is a cope but it has a better chance of rebounding losses there unlike Lightyear or Strange World by sheer virtue of actually making double back its budget

        Unless they sell to Netflix or something, I don't see how Disney paying itself for the streaming rights helps. I guess on paper it would mean Elemental is profitable, but it's still a money loser for Disney overall.

    I remember in 8th grade English we read a short story about an old woman who poisons a dude with cyanide as he was staying there. The story ends right there and the assignment was for us to continue the story.

    I just kept it straight based on the information available and he simply dies and she finds a new victim afterwards. But a lot of people in the class wrote a totally new character that was probably them coming and saving the day. Now I realize it's those people that are writing for all of our beloved franchises with how many self-insert Mary Sue buttholes there are in these established stories.

        I think I know the story he's talking about.

        "Arsenic and Old Lace"?

        If so, ue's right. The whole point of the story is that this young man comes to stay in a rental, and he meets the landlord who's this daft old woman, and a bunch of things don't line up right but he can't prove something is wrong. The tea she gives him tastes bitter, like almonds, which implies it may be poisoned, but the story ends without revealing if the main character died.

        The typical audience reaction is to want an answer and to have someone save the day, but the writer has to know it's not what makes the story interesting. If you were a good writer, you might have the boy become sick and gradually die in the old woman's care, without ever clarifying if it was really her killing them. The question is the point of that story.

        Everyone who writes Batman leaping through the window to announce, "Aha! You're very kind, old woman! And kind rhymes with cyanide... sort of. Therefore, YOU'RE KILLING THIS MAN WITH CYANIDE!" Are the boring kids with poor imaginations. They latch on to the obvious and jump to the conclusion they think they're supposed to have, and don't really understand the story is ambiguous on purpose as the key to its whole existence.

        It's not really better to simply write the man dying and the old woman being clearly responsible, but it's still better in that it carries the same morbid themes and doesn't whiplash into a hero story.
