If AI is God, Morrison just created the strongest argument for atheism.

WTF

Swara A.S. ☀️🍉🌊🧿 @spiderswarz.bsky.social · 2h

Morrison invoking AI alike to "God" indicates a severe misunderstanding of how AI appropriates the work of thousands, including their own, and someone needs to rectify their understanding ASAP.

But also it's a severe disservice to their colleagues anyway to use it and justify it like this.

Reddit comment from comic writer Grant Morrison explaining why they use AI

‘The New Gods’ #11 is a thunderous, visually stunning chapter

Ares’s major problem (other than the Leto of it all) is that it feels wildly disconnected from the first two films. Say what you will about Tron: Legacy but it continued the story Tron set up. It also had Tron!

The Spaceshipper 🚀 @thespaceshipper.com · 1d

"Some at Disney were always concerned only die-hard fans would show up, which isn’t a Leto issue but an IP problem. They were right; 18- to 24-year-old males, the sweet spot, badly underindexed."

Since the announcement of Tron 3, I don't know who this movie is aimed at. Teens & young adults or...

“No One Asked for This Reboot”: ‘Tron’ May Mark End of Jared Leto’s Franchise-Leading Days

As 'Ares' disappoints, insiders question whether the self-styled boundary-pushing A-lister can still be counted on to carry a franchise vehicle to the bank.

Say what you will about the MCU, but Jon Watts' Spider-Man trilogy has so much personality and fun humor. It helps that Watts was inspired by the great John Hughes, so there's a lot of similar vibes- very appropriate for this superhero world. It definitely helps to give more life to these movies.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

I was exposed to Drew Struzan’s work thanks to watching the original STAR WARS trilogy, BACK TO THE FUTURE, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and HOOK. All of those videotapes and DVD’s bore his artwork, and let you know you were in for something special. He’ll be missed.
