Its only a matter of time before tech will be able to generate controlled/scripted moving images of full synthetic humans

you know, there's a good conversation to be had about the cultural void that's come about as a result of the marvel generation having economic leverage and disposable income, and the extremely fucked state of affairs from the film industry having gone where it has in the last ~20y alone, but I don't know if I know enough to be the one to do it. although I'd welcome pointers if anyone knows a film/media critic with some chops that's taken this on

related to the marvel generation, I occasionally think about this post. when I do end up thinking about the shit. which largely happens when I once-in-months look to whether there's anything good to see at cinema
