"The thing is, it's actually meeting up right with the state of the art. Never mind the commerce. The state of the industry right now. The great thing that happened was...remember in the 1970s and 80s, they tried to do TV versions of Captain America and Spider-Man and even Batman. The Adam West Batman. The technology did not exist to make it look like it did in the comic books. Now it does. You can do anything at all. You could probably say the Christopher Reeve Superman was the first one that came close because the cutting edge of the technology right there allowed for wire removal. 'You will believe a man can fly' and, you know what, we all did when we saw. It was quite extraordinary."
"I think we are now enjoying the luxury of riches because you can make anything happen on screen. We are being brought back to the concept, 'Okay, that's true, but what is the story.' Without a doubt now, I've used this analogy before so I apologise, you can drain Lake Michigan and fill it with cuckoo clocks and form a three-headed dragon that breathes fire and destroys the city of Chicago. You can do that but to what purpose is the end of the day? What's the story and what's it going to be saying about us?"
"I think there was a period of time, and I felt that way too, where we would see these fantastic movies either DC or MCU in order to see these better versions of ourselves. 'God, I feel like an X-Man sometimes. I'm as confused as Spider-Man. I'm as angry as Batman is and I love my country as much as Captain America. I would like to emulate all those guys.' I think we've been down that road and had probably 20 years, 15 years, to explore that kind of thing and now I think we're in an evolutionary place of, 'And the story is what? And the theme is what? And the point of this movie is what?'"
"That's a good challenge for any filmmaker, it might just not land in the roundhouse for the industry. The industry often says, 'Well, this works and it will work again.' The audience is far ahead of it. They see the familiar and say, 'I've seen that already. What's next?' It's not just eye-popping stuff, it's what's the story? Tell me about myself. We're in new territory."
Hello all,
We wanted to give an update about some recent post/comments/user removals. In the last few months, we have seen a massive upscale in spam/bot accounts. Here and Reddit as a whole. While bot accounts have always been an issue, many subreddits have seen a massive uptick in the last year and it continues to grow daily. Once Reddit became public, they wanted to allow more traffic onto the site, because more traffic means more money. By doing so, they allowed their guards against bots to be more lenient, thus our current issue.
While we have ways of combatting bots, it’s not always successful. Some will slip through the automod and cause issues with other users. While we here are doing all we can, we also only have so much time on our hands in a given day to take care of it immediately.
We are asking for the community to help us out a bit more and for ways that you may be able to spot a spam or bot account.
If the user is fairly new or has extremely low karma, that is typically a telltale sign that they may be a bot account.
If the user is posting spam post or comments.
If the user is copying and pasting older post.
These are just a few of the possible signs of a bot account. While not all are 100%, it can give you a general idea of what to be looking for. If you believe the account/post/comment to be a bot account, this is how you can help us out.
Report them. Report. Report. Report. We cannot say this enough. Reporting the account helps us IMMENSELY!
Do not engage with them. Engaging only makes out work harder. Ignore them and report.
Report it to Reddit itself. Reddit has made changes since becoming public to allow more bots, as it’s more “traffic” in their minds, meaning more money. Inform Reddit that we are done with this nonsense.
This will not go away overnight. It will continue to get worse, as Reddit allows it to. While we and other subreddits are doing our best to right with Reddit about this, it tends to be a losing battle. At the end of the day, they only care about their bottom dollar and will do anything to continue to get it.
Thank you all for your understanding and support.
