I think they gave the project to the wrong filmmaker though. She is more of an indie filmmaker, not a blockbuster one. You know who would do a good blockbuster, even if they only have 1 feature film on their belt, and only a handful of short films? The two brothers who did this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos_(2019_film) They made their film for only $7k, and they made extreme efforts to feel like an Amblin-era Spielberg blockbuster. For $7k. I can't even grasp what they can do with $100 mil!
It's lack of vision, and corporate control. These amazing writers and directors who signed in for this project did it for the bucks. They delivered a cookie cutter product, as the boss asked them to. They didn't approach it with passion, with innovation, with blood-pumping mystery and intrigue. It's just a well-paying job to them, and a resume line. So, it doesn't come out good.
At this point, I dislike ALL marvel TV shows on D+. Loki was the best for me, but they kind of destroyed his character, so that fell flat too.
From the Star Wars side, the first 2 seasons of Mandalorian were good, and also Andor. Neither Boba Fett nor Kenobi were good (they felt as flat as Marvel shows feel). Andor is probably the most well done show in the whole of D+. And the reason for it is simple: Tony Gilroy was left alone to realize his vision, a vision he always wanted to do, but wasn't given the opportunity before. In fact, Disney was completely hands-off. Neither Kennedy nor Disney interfered, because they believed that the show will be kind of underground (and indeed, they didn't market it much). So they kind of ignored it. The ONLY thing they asked Gilroy to change was the F-word in the last episode.
But in the Marvel side, everything goes through Kevin Feige, and everything get homogenized so it appeals to everyone. Hence that final feeling of blah.
For Marvel to survive, they need to give voice to talents to provide us with a unique vision, like we've seen with Andor, or Joker (while at the same time, keeping the timeline intact, of course).
I don't like infinite scrolling. It's resource heavy after a while.
Also, I just tried Aurora just for kicks, and it now complains that there is conflict, after installing Summit via Obtainium. Not great...
I just did, and the Summit version on github is older than the one on the Google play store!
Yeah, that doesn't work for me then... I'm trying to avoid Google and stuff... Good luck with the app, it looks nice!
Looks great! Plz also post the app on the F-Droid app store. There are a lot of us who use completely de-googled android distributions that are more private! Thx!
That's because the algorithm doesn't favor the users, it favors the algorithm itself, brands, and celebrities. Just like with Instagram's AI recommendations, that is. There is no point dabbling into such apps. It's the equivalent of a tree falling in the forest and no one's there to hear it. I had the same problem with BlueSky btw: Crickets... Long live the chronological, federated media!
their drivers aren't open, so there are always crashes and bugs that they can't be fixed, because nvidia can't test with all the distros, or all wayland implementations, or games under linux. Intel drivers are the most rock solid under linux.
Thx! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
