I’m curious about the data behind this statement. I can’t imagine that a company replacing artists with pure AI was ever actually hiring good artists in the first place. I’d think any company that’s ok with the quality coming straight from AI was paying for similar quality stuff from cheap “artists”. Any company that was willing to pay a premium for quality art won’t suddenly lower their standards because AI exists. Just my intuition and I’m genuinely curious to see if I’m wrong.

A few of the recent Mario games

Don’t know about others, but you can barely call Odyssey co-op. Cappy mostly just watches Mario play.

The Lynch movie is what the characters will always look like in my head. I liked the Syfy miniseries too (which I watched shortly after reading the books). And I also like the new movies.

I notice that a big percentage of “hated” movies tie in with existing fan-bases. New movies in existing franchises, book adaptations, etc. Guess people go in with certain expectations and hate it when those are not met.

I didn’t know Prometheus was supposed to tie in with the Alien series (which I loved), so I had no expectations related to that. I enjoyed the movie and I was surprised at the end to see what looked like a Xenomorph.

That being said, I also have my share of movies I hated because they didn’t live up to my expectations from the books. I love the Harry Potter movies, but I was disappointed by how much they left out. I couldn’t watch The Expanse past the first couple of episodes because of how much was changed. And then there’s Foundation, which so ridiculously misses the mark that I’m able to enjoy as a series that just happens to share a title and some character names with the books, but is otherwise an unrelated story.

I absolutely loved Cloud Atlas and I was crying at the end. I didn’t know anything about it, didn’t know about the book, didn’t know it was hated until now. Just a movie that I liked the trailer for, so I watched it and I’m glad I did.
