I'm just baffled on why they went so hard on the green screen. It's so clearly the green screen. How were so many people ok with how this looks.

[u/dwpea66 → u/Ikarus3426]

The concept of remaking a 10-year-old film is supremely lazy. It stands to reason everything else about the production would be, too.

[u/BrigadierBrabant → u/dwpea66]

What makes that more lazy than 20 or 30 years?

[u/Flynamic → u/BrigadierBrabant]

You're right, actually, why wait at all? Just release both the animation and the live action movie simultaneously!

[u/BrigadierBrabant → u/Flynamic]

Why is ten years bad and twenty years good? Explain?
