I saw Elio recently and.... AI can't possibly write worse plots than this
It makes me sad because elio was supposed to be a cute story about a queer kid learning about his place in the universe. Instead, the original director and writer got kicked, the movie was butchered and a new film was made from the corpse that had nothing to do with the original premise. Then it was released without any marketing and the animators were blamed, "the movie flopped because of bean mouth!" No, is flopped because Disney is an evil pos that only wants profit and to cause suffering to minorities in order to extricate more money for the shareholders.
Sounds kinda what happened to Zootopia, with the first draft being too daring maybe.
A shame about Elio, the final product is about as bland and uninteresting as an animated movie can get.
I'm sorry but what was wrong with Zootopia? I thought that movie was quite excellent.
Zootopia is great, but its first draft was notoriously quite different and a lot darker, leaning more into the predator vs. prey theme.
It's basically where the whole predator vs. prey theme came from in the first place. Zootopia's weak plot twist exists because Disney told them they couldn't have their dark story.
