I personally don’t like Wish either, but I’m still glad it has got an audience. I’m not gonna act like those pretentious reviewers who think that simply liking that movie is a crime and that you’re not a true animation fan if you do like it. If you do that, that says much more about you than the -

Mat even said that if the roles were swapped and Elio was released straight to Disney + and Kpop in theaters, the former would actually have done a lot better because people nowadays just want to only watch stuff at home.

For context, this scene was heavily animated by Hideaki Anno who would of course later go on to be the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion. And he would also later be the Japanese voice of Jiro in The Wind Rises.

Thankfully Mat seems to have taken down that comment. I get what he’s saying but he definitely should have worded it better. It’s mostly because the way James wrote that post made it seem more snobbish than I think he intended it given how many of those types of comments he’s made in the past.

That is true, but again, most studios will go through streaks of quality and some of not so good films, or they could just be inconsistent in quality regardless of the order they come in chronologically like DreamWorks’s films.

It actually makes it quite poetic that last night I watched the Will Ferrell comedy The Campaign (which I thought was okay) which (spoilers) features two corrupt wealthy brothers as the villains who do thankfully get a satisfying comeuppance. Only a matter of time before life imitates art folks…

Eeeeshh. Judging from the trailers and what the tone was going to be like, it seemed like the easiest film in the world to get critical praise. Of course these are just first impressions and we’ll just have to wait until people can actually see it but, man that is a disappointing first impression.

I'm not surprised that some people like Diaz, LioConvoy, and their fans would think that Animat's videos on the cartoon community are basically saying ''Never critique or criticize anything, especially from a billion dollar company.'' Obviously, that's not what he's saying, but they don't care.

Alex Millar @arm2001.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Most of them just go along the lines of “He’s trying to call out the cartoon community but all I hear is “oH wIlL eVeRyOnE PlEaSe StOp BaShInG PoOr BiLlIoN dOlLaR cOrPoRaTiOn! I’m not a Sony hater anymore even though I put Wish over the objectively better movie KPDH!” Some even compared him to Ryan.

Stephen King was inspired to write Misery because of the massive backlash he received from fans (mostly through letters back then) after writing his first fantasy novel just cos they couldn’t handle him writing a novel in a genre other than horror. And this was literally back in the 80s.

I agree, the more I look at this post, the more I agree it’s kind of poor taste overall. While some people here just have bad media takes, have really pretentious attitudes or don’t respect others opinions, StarGiant is an actual child groomer and is a LOT lower compared to those other guys.
