substitute AI for "Hollywood" & you'll start to see why it's the future
I think most people know that AI is just regurgitating pre-existing stuff. That's also how most entertainment industries work

(looking at pre-2010s advertising targeted at straight young men) What was going ON
advertising in the 2000s wasn't *that* different from this, but let's blame 90s edginess
Terms like "crazy" or "insane" get overused by people describing pre-2010s pop culture, because what they want to say is, they like it - but it's pre-woke, so they can only safely express their appreciation as disbelief - "Can you believe this existed?"

There was some really comically dark & surreal artistic energy bubbling up closer to the mainstream of American culture in the early 90s, & I tend to attribute that to the mainstream influence of Tim Burton & David Lynch getting creative people exciting about just being strange. There was also a strange mood in the air culturally as the Cold War had ended & I have to assume with that sense of relief came a new sense of freedom that expressed itself artistically as well - but still tempered with Gen X cynicismImage

It seems like at the start of every new decade there’s a sense of adventurousness in leaving the past behind & creating some bold new cultural statements, that didn’t quite happen in the 2020s because of Covid & in the 2010s the new direction of our culture was Wokeness & we saw how that turned out. But in the 2000s I think it birthed that “y2k aesthetic” people talk about now, & in 1990 creative artists were interested in making pop culture that distinguished itself the 80s by being more weird & irreverent, which again Tim Burton & David Lynch were huge influences towards.

This is so perfectly, awfully banal I can only assume it's real. Let's take a closer look at this warmed-over IP renewal / Roger Rabbit retread by non-cartoonists which everyone has been assuming is a terrible loss for Looney Tunes or fans of animation in general. 🧵
OH WORD???? Image
Does Warner Brothers just own Peter Lorre's likeness now after death, like Lucasfilm / Disney owns other dead people? Was this established in Looney Tunes: Space Jam: A New Hope? Image

It really puts American animation history in perspective to realize the action scenes in something like Dexter's Laboratory, a cartoony comedy series with limited animation, were immeasurably more dynamic & exciting for having cartoonists & animators in charge of them, & not this
"Animators made this! It's animated! What do you meaaaaan!!" This scene was created from a script written by 2 non-artist, non-cartoonists & if you think the storyboard artist or even the director had any say about altering the content that was not how the business ran in the 80s
Plus you've got a producer who, right at the start of his animation producing career, thought this was an acceptable-looking adaption of Archie Comics Image

Notice how there are no smear frames because Lou Scheimer literally thought those were animation errors

Look at that fucking jump at 12 seconds. There isn't even any anticipation, the guy just kind of flies up and away. I can imagine being impressed by this if you were a 6 year old in 1988 who'd never seen anime before but what excuse does someone have today
