From what I've heard, being not AI generated was part of why it became popular, something along the lines of "at least they were willing to make bad looking art themselves instead of having a machine do it for them" or such. This just based on posts about it in my mastodon feed tho as I'm not on any Chinese social medias, so take that with a grain of salt.

    nah, I'd trust mom and son over any executive anyway.

    visual garbage or not, it's got love behind that powered it... unlike the ceo trash that has clear greed driven trash

    With all due respect, if this movie is your gauge, an executive is a hell of a lot more trustworthy on what makes a good movie. And that is not a compliment to the executives.

    I'd go see it in theaters for the same reason everyone else is but no one thinks this is actually good. Everything about it is bad and not in a charming way.

    You can watch a subtitled fancam on YouTube. I only made it through 15 minutes or so then skipped around. It's very hard to watch lol
