I mean, @patrickhwillems.bsky.social always makes some good points, but the arguments hit different when he uses ALIENS VS AVENGERS and FRANCIS THE TALKING MULE as examples. Great stuff.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

In this awful age of AI slop, one can only appreciate how expertly handcrafted @trenchcrusade.bsky.social's book feels: gorgeous art, inspiring lore and rules that are actually fun to read. I couldn't be happier with my Kickstarter pledge, and I'm so excited to play the game next year! 🖤

Took my Astra Militarum army to the last game of the year: a massive W40K event featuring Orks and Necrons manipulated by the deceitful Aeldari! The Imperium stood firm, but we eventually got outnumbered despite the help of an Imperator Titan! 🫡

Yeah DISPATCH, I know, I'm very bad at flirting. But I have a strong moral compass, okay?

I had a very frustrating time with AVATAR: FIRE & ASH. Yeah, its finale feels shot-for-shot repetitive and leads basically nowhere new. But the first two hours? Man! The action, the dilemmas, and all the brainy concepts introduced are phenomenal.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

I really believe the industry needs to adapt and not with AI but with its people. They need to bring artists and crews in house, pay everyone well, take risks and make the creators part of the story and marketing. They need to partner with artists to survive. Accept a smaller industry.

All of Rian Johnson's movies are about the art of storytelling, but by exploring how it helps both faith and religion (two very different things), WAKE UP DEAD MAN feels like his most personal entry yet. This Benoit Blanc mystery is also the most creative and intricate of the three. I loved it! 🤍

May the industry learn the right things from this epic victory!

A propos de Tartatus Hotel ! 🏨

Avec @ronantoulhoat.bsky.social, on avait d'abord pensé à une toute autre entrée pour le dernier METAL HURLANT : l'idée du passeur d'âmes était déjà là, la femme de ménage aussi, mais dans un autre registre, celui de la tranche de vie. Je vous explique ! TW: Suicide ⤵️
