Happy International Women’s Day!

If you want to get into Spider-Man but aren't sure where to begin, watch The Spectacular Spider-Man. It's a fantastic distillation of four decades-worth of the character's history. Simultaneously accessible and a wonderful deep dive.
Has anybody tried outright bribing 5 to 10 Republicans to switch to Dem?

Charlie's Angels (2000)
Lower Decks managed to do a better "black ops Starfleet squad" with Boimler's clone leading multiverse exiles.
The idea of a Suicide Squad/heist movie in the Trek verse sounds great on paper.
But the end product = shit.
The idea being he'll already be in Happydale... and if down the road the bodies get found, they'll assume it's his work but do nothing about it since he's already institutionalized.
Not saying it's right, just pointing out how abusive the execs have made it. Now they want to cut out the middleman and just have an AI generate their bullshit ideas.
This is a mindset that's only gotten worse in the advent of computer animation.
With 2D you had to plan everything out a head of time due to how long it takes to animate. With computers, they can force the workers to constantly redo shit and have no plan with the story. Just wing it overtime churn.
Most of Disney's recent flops all tell this same story.
Death by a thousand executive cuts. All within the home stretch and forcing everyone to work overtime to redo a film over again (and again and AGAIN) without delay. Ballooning the production budget, making it impossible to turn a profit.
Pixar execs: "Huh, these movies we dumped on streaming for free during a pandemic didn't make us any money. I wonder what the problem is? AHA - they have non-white non-straight people in them!"
A lot has changed actually.
With the advent of computer animation, it's 'easier' to force the animators to start from scratch and overwork them to meet release date. Harder to restart, or work without a planned completed story, with 2D animation - which takes more time.
You mean the one that hasn't changed much since John Lasseter was in charge and had free reign to openly grope the female employees?
Unfortunately, the lesson they learned after firing Lasseter and allowing new blood to tell stories... was to ignore LGBTs/people of color and just make a shit ton more sequels.
Nevermind that the best films during this time got dumped on Disney+ for free (cause of Covid) so they made zero profit.
Don't you know an Egyptian when you see one?
