  • By working with Midjourney, he adds a human touch to historical storytelling

    What part of the process is the human part? The bit where he asks the climate-destroying computer for a picture of a city he admittedly knows very little about? Or is the human part all of the art and images that were used to create a plagiarised AND inaccurate image of history?

    The guy walks into a historical building, and upon seeing some art, his first response is “I wonder what that art is about, maybe my followers can tell me”. This is the guy who is creating historical images of the city? The guy who only learnt recently that large ships were not historically seen in the harbour? I’ll admit my knowledge of Amsterdam is lacking, but I’m not trying to pass AI slop off as historically accurate representations of the past.

    You want to bring history to life? Ask a historian about the history, and pay an artist to accurately represent the truth.


  • This is a terrible article. It pays lip service the strikes, but doesn’t consider that a longer production schedule might be beneficial to the people working on the film?

    It treats 2-3 years like a terrible omen of the films reception, ignoring the 5 years between the release of Into and Across.

    If stories are true, Sony was horrible to the people who worked on the Spiderverse films. If they need to take appropriate time to release a sequel that lives up to its predecessors, without having to crunch endlessly, then Gamerant can suck it up.


  • This shit again?

    If you are going to ask the question “why won’t people date me?” And then combatively respond to anyone who has answers or suggestions, then you shouldn’t post here. There is genuinely good advice in this thread, but this user is only looking for a pity party and attention.

    If I asked “why do I always burn my dinner?”, but ignore the people who suggest setting the oven to a lower temperature, I’ve not only wasted their time but my own.





  • I rather enjoyed it, but I don’t know how any of the recent films are going to come together to create an engaging Avengers film. There really hasn’t been a good unifying story that they have been building to. They keep throwing in references to future movies at the end of each film/show, but they all just seem to be hype for new characters that most people have to go to a screen junkies article to get an explanation for.

    I don’t feel like Kang has been properly built up, because he has appeared several times already, posed little actual threat, and even got defeated one time by Ant-Man, who is essentially comic-relief in any ensemble affair. There’s also the casting issue.

    I have seen every MCU film in cinema, and have enjoyed them all in their own way, despite the visceral glee the internet has in tearing them apart. But I don’t feel any excitement in hearing about Avengers 5. Because I don’t know what it is.
