Maaike (they/them) @maaikeatfmoon.bsky.social · 02/06/2025I think people are forgetting how long SFX/VFX take. Things being in Amazon’s hands likely also allude to that. There are probably MONTHS of work left to do. It’s not just a bit of filming & then done. There’s TONNES of FX work. If you want a good Finale, you want them to spend time on it properly. 1153
