    I just wish they would make actual stop motion Lego movies instead of AI slop.

      Setting aside the money factor, AI is also just faster, which is important for making up to date propaganda.

      Why spend money making propaganda when you can make slopaganda on the cheap?

          I’m intrigued. What did you have in mind? I like the idea of talking heads discussing artisanal propaganda, critiquing and dissecting it like the different notes in an overpriced bottle of Wine.

            I’m thinking 2010 YouTube era stop motion Lego movie.

            Bonus points if all dialogue is done with annotations serving as speech bubbles.

      Slop-motion animation is the best we’ve got now, sorry.
