I liked Suicide Squad. I never paid much attention to how they did a quick build of the characters in the beginning. It did it’s job and gave me information on the characters that I didn’t know
Definitely agree whole heartily with this one. How many times can you say sorry until people stop believing the sincerity of your request for forgiveness.
So fun to hear your voice. You have a great enthusiasm for the subject and it comes out in your what you say. If anything, I’d maybe open with what dragoncon is exactly. Does it showcase anything Dragon-related? Does it have a Dungeons and Dragons component? Dragon movies? Or..is it just a cover for some nerds to get together at comicon but call it something different lol. Are there workshops? What are the titles? Make me interested in going Stephen!
My negativity towards them isn’t due to the fact that they’re remakes; it’s due to the fact that I believe it dismisses the medium of animation. I feel when they make these animated films into “live-action”, it’s like they’re saying a film isn’t a “real” film unless it’s live-action. And most of these “live-action” remakes have a lot of animation in them anyway, so it’s like they’re hypocritical.
I don’t believe anyone’s dismissing animation. Disney still makes animated movies. But when you remake something, you really do need to bring something new to the table. By remaking them as live-action, there are whole categories of filmmaking added to the experience, whether animation is part of it or not. It’s not hypocrisy, nor a dismissal of the original medium. I think Disney is the *last* studio you could accuse of not appreciating animation.
I don’t fully agree. Many times when the filmmakers refer to these remakes, they make comments about how they’re “fixing problems in the cartoon version” or that live-action can explore areas that animation cannot or just talk about animation in a disparaging way. Mena Massoud did this, whether purposefully or not, before Aladdin came out.

Thank you for commenting. There’s always more than one way to “get the job done”. The audience gets to decide whether it was done well.

Good questions. *smiles* I’ll try to answer them in my next podcast.
