According to BoxOfficeMojo, it seems like that it's quickly dying out in theaters.

It also has an Argentinian listing where it allegedly made a cool $1 Million in three days there.

Mark June 16th as another typical day the two movies were dumped to theatres (both The Flash and Elemental).

Almost like if you mix water and fire, you snuff out the light.

Also if it's supposed to be a story about the prejudices against mixed-race couples, maybe don't cancel out the message by including a same-sex couple and treating that as normal. Idiots.

I didn't know it was out. That's like the sixth animated film in recent years that flops? That's about a billion dollar in losses out of a studio that laid golden eggs. You'd think eventually someone will start running out of money.

There's an old joke: "How do you become a millionaire?
Step 1: Be a billionaire.
Step 2: Make a movie."

Don't underestimate how effective the glitz and glamor are of Hollywood. A lot of very rich, very smart people will literally set their money on fire just for the chance to be near the moving pictures.

And then you have people like Tommy Wiseau who dump $6 gorillion into one of the worst movies of all time and somehow make $30 gorillion out of the whole thing. He may be an absolutely god-awful filmmaker, but much like Uwe Boll, he's a pretty good businessman.

lol Touche, though I was meaning "smart enough to get far in business." One thing that does bug me about the movies and such is the trope of "smart in one thing - smart in all things" whereas in reality someone highly skilled or intelligent in one facet of life can be a complete dunce in others.

Sometimes you run into people that make you believe Faust may have been more documentary than we realized...

 

[Life is Hell...]

I don't know if Natasha has said anything near as offensive and crazy as the lead VA of Primos. I actually like that there's a large kid cast, and the show being set in LA and about second-generation immigrants not very connected to their culture kind of solves a lot of what people were complaining about, at least in theory.

Speaking of which, she recently posted a response to her Instagram in the form of a comic.

Her defense in a nutshell:

Rate me late if any of this was already posted. But the day has come...

AI family guy. @TVBForever do you think the manatees are going to go on strike?

Also AI simpsons. Insert joke about "no different from normal simpsons" here.

The first scene I see is an argument on the discussion of femboys and then the next one is just a loop of 'post nsfw in the discord' beautiful


The true zoomer comedy experience

 

[AnOminous]

Her defense in a nutshell:

Make an animated series about Mexican-Americans. Use shitty Spanish, use stereotypes that piss off actual Mexicans, unlike Speedy Gonzales, which this cunt probably deplored at some point.

Instead of taking advice, start reeeeing about muh trauma instead of just fixing it, call speaking Spanish the same as being a Nazi.

Insist you're totally the victim in this scenario.

I swear this format of defense/announcement comic can be a fucking stereotype by now
>begins with a "so ___ has been pretty difficult lately" type of statement
>immediately makes you feel sorry for the author, often by referencing (likely non-existent) death threats or otherwise making the author out to be literally carrying "the burden of so much hate"
>author "takes a step back", almost always transitioned into with a "but when"
>author is either happier or no longer upset, often while simultaneously propping up his/her own greatness
>sends love or tolerance or acceptance to "the haters", often literally represented by a computer with an angry face or a bad message or some other literal object/amorphous entity meant to """symbolize""" the opposition
>ends either on a snarky rebuttal to all the "haters" or a reassurance of how great the author is/how this isn't affecting him/her at all. Or both!!
>very rarely actually polished, often in monochrome or with one or two colors to contrast the author's usual work (which is guaranteed to be very colorful and childish 95% of the time)
>always in that shitty fucking scroll format that decides paneling is for plebs and nobody has a computer nowadays
>NEVER actually addresses any critique
this is like the quintessential example, istg, it is aggravating

How hard is it for these retards to just give what every race wants which is just Dragon Ball Z.

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

The worst problem is that the worldbuilding in something like that, you think "wait, do the racists have a point? the water guy and girl could literally kill each other if they got too close."

It's the Zootopia problem.

 

[Secret Asshole]

How hard is it for these retards to just give what every race wants which is just Dragon Ball Z.

Because that would mean admitting anime is better than the shit they work on and has solely captured black and hispanics while their only audience is white manchildren, troons and fujoshits.

Ah zootopia.... simultaneously clever and dumb.

I mean I liked some of the touches - like the little "tiny town" for smaller animals. But several times you can just see the SJW philosophy infect them with stupid.

Like Judy's whole, "i can be a cop too!" So how is a 3 lb rabbit going to stop and arrest a 1 ton water buffalo criminal? They could have been smart about it with stuff like "well we need smaller officers to handle things in smaller districts like the rodentville" but then we all know that would be too similar to "separate but equal" for the makers.

Hey! Here's a free tip for you writers out there! If you want to do some messaging like "we shouldn't be racist because we're all the same" don't pick a world or setting where there's literal and obvious differences between sapient beings.

Yeah bitch is in denial and she's going to cry harder when her show gets canceled. Keep rustling her jimmies, Spanishbros.

Elemental gives an extremely poor first weekend in theaters, it breaks Pixar's record on worst first weekend on the box office by giving only 29.5$ millions, the former record holder was The Little Dinosaur, by having only 39$ millions of dollars in the first weekend, and it added a muted $15 million at the international box office for a global total of $44.5 million.

yeah with the girl being literal fire, they make it like causing damage and trouble is in her very nature and not something that she could avoid with different "socioeconomic factors"

I mean either the water puts out the fire or the fire converts all the water to steam. (Seems like the only viable pairing would be fire and air.)

Last I checked, if a white human and black human touch each other, one of them doesn't just vanish. And trust me, I've chucked several humans at other humans to confirm this. All it gets you is arrested.

There is already a better version of Elemental that exists and it's a web animation short.

Thanks! I loved it. heck I'm a big sucker for short films on youtube. Like this one...

don't insult zootopia by comparing it to Elemental
at least it bothered to have its architecture make even an ounce of sense
