Agreed. The second was just pure product placement. Although I suppose it’s difficult to design a fictional internet that’s not painfully generic and cringeworthy (as in, not once have I seen it done), they just kept all the sites that paid them money, and somehow added in generic versions of sites that WERE IN THE FUCKING MOVIE, as well as product placement for their own properties. It was just the worst bastardization of the internet I’ve ever seen. I’d bet that everything about it was designed by people that’ve never heard of a Tumblr or a Mr Beast.
It’s wild to me that people shit all over the writers of this movie without realizing Pamela Ribon also has writing credits on Nimona and her own personal project My Year of Dicks, both of which are pretty good.
This is like judging David Cross’ entire fucking career for being in a Chipmunks movie. Fuck all his work on Arrested Development and Mr. Show, he was in a shitty movie for a paycheck, he must be a fucking loser!
I’m not blaming the writers specifically, I think that everyone had to work very hard to make this as soulless and overtly corporate as possible. You’re right, even the greatest creatives make piles of shit, but unfortunately, the piles of shit are still there. Maybe it’s bad because Disney’s execs made them remove all the good stuff to “appeal” to more people, like with Elio, or to a lesser extent, Gravity Falls and the Owl House.
Never seen it? Huh. It’s reasonably entertaining, probably worth watching at least once.
1st one is great, 2nd is shit
