>>5739493>>5739509Holy fuck. How did I not hear of this news?? I'm guessing it's from BotCon.
Yeah. Bureaucracy fucks things up once again. Are they getting tunnel vision and forgetting that poor organization leads to poor brand vision and likely lower profits? How about making contingency plans? The writer of Babylon 5 planned MULTIPLE script scenarios for each actor having to leave. Can Hasbro not ensure that the next in line for a job will maintain a smooth transition?
>>5739548I guess I can understand why it would be difficult to coordinate with the show producers though. You might think it's a positive thing for both companies, but it's really a greater burden for both of them having to run everything through people on the other side of the world. It's great when everyone's on the same page like with Animated, not so great with AEC or Prime it would seem.
and artists working under corporate constraints... traditionally this has been an outright conflict that only rarely works. I'd put the blame mostly on the corporate side. There's no true compromise with a psychopathic suit, it's just a matter of how horribly art is butchered.
I don't get how the previous team wanted no females if they had Airachnid and Arcee and the human girl.
Is that the HasLab Pred symbol? It sucks.
It would be interesting if there were some very loose corporate frameworks, and perhaps room for experimentation on that instead of just "this is how it is. all variation from the model will be decided upon by market research {or someone high up who has an opinion and shoves it through regardless}." You know, allow the artist to sell their vision rather than squeezing artistic talent through a corporate shaped money hole.
Ah well, never gonna happen. ... unless Hasbro gets onboard these DAO* things and it makes these decisions for them. I could see that being an inevitability eventually. *: digital decentralized autonomous organization.
