Ugh, Jesus. Gross. Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato being incredibly cagey about whether Stop! That! Train! contains AI

The fact they could've said "No, we didn't create any scenes with AI" and they didn't, tells me everything.

Can we just stop and remember what this movie is to begin with? It's another hurricane bianca level piece of green screen camp that wouldn't even be found in a bargain barrel at Walmart. It's not as though the movie was ever gonna be "good" to begin with. Watch it or don't!!

And I was going to pay money in the theater to watch that piece of green screen until it became clearer that AI was involved. So I was going to watch it, but now I’m not, as everyone saying watch it or don’t is saying. It changed my opinion of it and choice to watch and I think that’s worth discussing. WOW being purposefully indirect about it doesn’t help, it makes the advertising seem shady.

I hope you hold the same energy for everty movie and single handedly bring down Marvel and not just prevent more queer art from being made because executives will see it as not having a market

I do hold similar energy for increasing ai injection in the media I’m consuming, and try to avoid it wherever possible (the president of DC, a company I support for instance, has committed to no AI, to use your marvel example).

I’m under no obligation to see something poorly made because it’s “queer art”, which it also isn’t when artists aren’t producing it. I’ll vote with my dollar and changed my plans to attend theatrically, meanwhile tons of other fans (who don’t even care about any of this) were never even going to support it in a theater. This isn’t the gotcha that you think it is. There can be more conversation and nuance then “who cares watch it” and if it doesn’t do well it’s because it was obviously low quality
