there are ideas i like in Digger but—without spoiling things—my issue is that it half-commits to the theatricality. i kept waiting for it to get more insane, more evocative, to fold in upon itself in some new / interesting way. much of it feels overly literal, trapped in second gear to its detriment

i understand what he's saying but traditional villains have become a bit of a rarity in modern animation, from what i understand. like, inside out, moana, elemental, and soul all lack real antagonists.

one of the more interesting "what ifs" in modern US politics is that, after Access Hollywood, trump decides to take his ball and go home (bad for Rs) or that trump's crisis response is so poor that the RNC rules committee, in a panic, kicks him off the ticket (catastrophic for Rs, if not lethal)

1. good contender for the most "bluesky" bluesky post in that it is an extraordinarily inane observation that's been discussed to death, repackaged as if it is some kind of grand moral statement 2. i think if bruce wayne has politics i suspect he's build in the rockefeller, du pont mold.
