Mulan(2020)-They give Mulan superpowers which is not only lame it goes against the message of the original about equality and struggle,plus they removes Shang because apparently having Mulan date her superior was "problematic" even though Shang genuienely respected Mulan and their rank was never brought up

I am Legend(2007)-You know why the story is called "I am legend"? SPOILER ALERT the protagonist is the actual monster,humanity is gone and the vampires have a actual society and the protagonist kills and terrorize them

Animal Farm(2026)-On the very slim chance that Andy Serkis ever sees this,here's the thing Andy,Animal Farm was not a children work it was not supposed to have a happy ending,you never heard of cautionary tales before?

I don't know the specifics of this project, but I was on as an extra in an incredibly bad sci-fi movie ego project, and pretty much everyone on set, from directors to actors new they were making something really stupid but were just doing their jobs and getting paid.

I suspect a lot of people writing and drawing this new it was a terrible idea but a gig is a gig.

I hadn't thought about it in awhile and figured it never made it out of production. The trailer is on YouTube but I can't find anywhere to watch the piece of shit and point out a single shot where in the blurry background I can say "that's me!!!"
