Lol fat. These are our "animators", too.

Surprising to see a ring on her finger, though. Where's the father? Why wasn't the kid hanging out with his dad instead of marching around doing nothing? Or hell, why isn't he in school?

With giant big budget movies failing left and right, animation studios being gutted to oblivion, and the journalists who touted all this shit as amazing quality content, only surviving off venture capital for the last decade, is now really the time for a writer's strike?

Right now, especially, is the worst time for it. Who will write the speeches for Biden from now on?

Seriously tho, it's the worst timeline for this strike to happen, one of the major issues with this strike is that it's not the 2000's anymore. The last time when this strike happened, situations & scenarios were very different. Hell, this time the strike isn't a bad thing, because most of said writers are one of the major issues with modern Hollywood. This time, the "strike" is more of purge or a cleansing at best. These writers aren't even suffering as much as they did last time, this is just the competitive nature of writers guild & greed for more money.

It's no longer dramatically affecting your TV watching experience anymore (it did mine last time with things like Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, Chuck, Season 2 of NBC's cop drama Life, etc. Hell, I don't wanna watch Heroes because of this alone). It's no longer having an actual effect on TV itself like the flood of reality shows that followed, there's a very good reason David Zaslav doubled down on them, it was a prep for this war to come.

Cable TV is fucking dead (unless you're British & pay goverment sanctioned BBC, which is rumoured to stop in 2027), all the shit is available on streaming, & what's not available is on free sites & hailing the 7 seas (piracy). In fact, most streaming is also a wasteland of sorts, which is why we also have god knows how much stuff on YT, Twitch streamers having more star power & brand value than actual actors (mainly starlets) nowadays, combined with foreign media taking over from Asian countries like Anime, Sentai Shows, K-Dramas, Indonesian Action kino (a Thai called The Girl from Nowhere), Indian media as popularized by RRR, etc.

This strike also, follows with a lot of hilarity:

> All of the studios are already bleeding money & slashing budgets, & many are laying people off. This is generally the worst moment to go on strike. Even those that do make money, just have economic nightmares later on. WB made 11 Billion dollars last quarter? They largely pissed that away on HBO Max original programing. It was one of David Zazlav's big realizations when he took over. They spend way too much on streaming programing that has no path to profit. WB is the one that is starting to turn around BECAUSE they slashed all the production budgets & deeply cut the numbers of shows they had in production. ie, they're hiring a lot fewer writers. That's not even going onto the shitshow that Disney is, specially with that securites fraud recently.

Same shit happened in gaming industry, after the 2016-17 strike, SAG/AFTRA waged a strike against the video game industry a year or so before covid hit. Their Videogame VA's nearly starved to death as a result. Their demands were insane & the video game publishers told them to fuck right off. The VA's failed to realize that in Hollywood the actors & performances are the core product being delivered. In Video Games, they are little more than a value addition, they tried demanding royalties on game sales for a half a day's voice work. Finally, after a few months of striking & starving, they came crawling back & asked for a handful of reasonable health & safety rules. They actually ended up with less than what the publishers had offered them to begin with. I would like to think that the Hollywood Guilds learned some lesson from that. But looking at what they are asking for today, given the state of the industry probably not.

> There is a huge population of experienced, talented writers in general. A specific of it being White Male writers (mostly middle-aged) that have been pushed out of the industry due to racism and sexism induced from political bias, & haven't had work in 5 years. The WGA was instrumental in pushing them out due to said political bias, or wokeism. The new WGA contract demands fewer jobs for them, so why on earth does anyone think they won't turn scab in a heartbeat?

> The studios all now have extensive production presence throughout the US & the world. Not just Hollywood. Marvel films in Atlanta, Georgia is a Right to Work State, as is Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi. The Carolina's etc. & writers are the most portable element of any production. You can move them anywhere.

> Immediately all of the obnoxious Late Night Talk Shows are shut down. Net positive for the people cause Conan O'Brien, Craig Ferguson, & Eric Andre have already retired. The last strike already proven these people as the hacks they are, specially Stephen Colbert.

> ChatGPT, despite being nerfed & butchered to being CuckGPT, is still currently a better writer than the WGA membership. There's also NovelAI, & There's another AI called Craft that you can download on your phone (just a warning you can only use it a number of times each month). It's designed to help you come up with writing ideas. But you can use it to write a story if you want. You'll probably need to go in and write some yourself but it does a pretty decent job on it's own, so long as you give direction to it.

Also, Nothing, Forever, the AI Seinfeld show got uncancelled proving it's not impossible.

Sperging about old shit here, but I just remembered when all the animators were going on strike because, God forbid, they had to work their jobs. So I looked at that whole "NewDeal4Animation" bullshit and I found this motherfucker in one of the videos:

The average modern L.A. activist "animator". You're looking at it.

Apparently she's the Chairwoman of that Committee
 
Unicorn Warrriors Eternal is REALLY GOOD but this YouTube thumbnail sucks. It doesn't even represent this character's personality. It just makes her look like generic "Strong Action Woman"
wtf
 
I am so hype for Unicorn Warriors Eternal. The elf better get his waifu back or I riot.
 
Kinda related to the Cartoon Industry, but a co-worker of Genndy Tartakovsky has sent a scene on One Piece anime.

In the future there are going to be AI late night talk show hosts. They are cheap, live forever and an AI can make bad jokes too. No scandals, they will never get sick or tired and so on.

Same with voice actors.

As I said, a net positive for humanity.
