This just in: a mysterious image of what looks like a map of two theme parks from a resort has recently been unearthed by Warrior Enterprises. I can’t tell what exactly this digital drawing represents, or who‘s theme park resort it is, but I could make out some words like “Greek”, “Port”, and ”Mario”. This seems very interesting, I’ve also heard that the creator will give more details about this image sometime this month (though not here in this common area), so stay tuned for more here on this imagineering forum.

Here is the mysterious digital drawing (since I know some people will be curious about it):

Did not see myself being excited for The Flash. Well, my interest was piqued by Gunn last week, but wild that this film may actually just work out for them with all the issues they had, resetting the DCU, etc.

I know how I feel about it. 🤮

His hair looks so fake and his movements are horrible. Why do they keep making people move their faces and bodies too much. I've noticed it with their animation lately. Normal people don't move their faces and bodies the whole time they are talking.

In terms of the tech itself, it's incredibly cool. I just don't know how I feel about resurrecting a dead man with this tech. All in all, with just how controversial AI is in art and the creation of art, I find an insanely slippery slope with using AI to, for all intents and purposes, resurrect Walt.

THAT SAID: I also think that Walt might have LOVED this. He always strongly embraced the latest technology and the latest trends in using it for his business and the art it created.

I don't like the idea of using people's likenesses. It never feels real, even if it's done well (like Luke Skywalker in Boba Fett). In the back of your mind you're always thinking this isn't real. This person's old or even dead.

Plus dirty sites may end up using their likenesses for devious intents. And I don't want to see Elvis (or whoever) in... adult situations.

It's a good thing they have the parks because their movies and shows have sucked lately.

What good are any of these when the company just fired 7,000 employees, is still on a hiring freeze, and the competition down the road in Orlando is not only looking to hire but also just raised hourly wages*?
*It’s not effective immediately, but starting on June 4th of this year minimum wages are expected to increase to $17. I should also specify that the openings on their job offers are 2,500, so while it’s not close to half the number of Disney employees who were let go, the fact that there are that many positions on offer is telling as to where their priorities are.

I agree, most of their content has been horrible. I think it has to do with forced agendas and bad CGI. Lately they've been trying to cover up the latter by blurring the background (Wakanda, Antman and Little Mermaid). And this only seems to make it look even worse.

What they need to do is stop making everything CGI. There are some things that can be practical effects. I feel bad for the effects people because they are obviously spread thin. This was evident in the new Thor, Dr. Strange and Antman movies. The effects in each of them were horrible.

Not surprising consider that SFX artists who worked for Marvel spoke out about how the company overworked and underpaid them. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were any SFX artists at the main WDS itself are experiencing similar conditions.

Yep, the problem is they want to pay these people peanuts. But they want them to do double the work.

Taika Waititi kept saying on the set of Thor Love and Blunder "We'll fix it in post!". It was so oftenly used by him that it became his catchphrase.

First speculation map is out for this year's HHN in Orlando:

Tcool's Thoughts

Shows -
- Glad to see the lagoon show is returning - hopefully this time if there is a hurricane the tech won't get wrecked.
- Personally I'm not a Nightmare Fuel stan - too many bad memories from HHN30, but hopefully one day they create a whole concept for that stage.

Houses -
- B) If a Phantom/Dracula House comes to fruition that has potential for a beautifully opulent house - while I would've loved for a Creature house if we got Phantom/Dracula I wouldn't complain as one of the two is a curveball.
- C) I guess I should start watching Last of Us - not only if the speculation is true, but just because everyone else is watching it as well. Perhaps this will be what gets me going. Assuming they go for this IP they'll have to work with Sony AND Warner Brothers (if they go with the hit TV series) in order to bring this house to HHN this year. If it's anything like last year we could see it getting scrapped due to licensing arguments.
- D) Christmas is my favorite holiday, HHN is my favorite time of the year at Universal - if it is indeed an original take on the mythos of Krampus then I'm all for it. That said if it is tied to the film, no sleep lost either as I never did the OG Krampus house from all those years ago.
- E) The anchor could mean a sequel to Dead Man's Pier from last year - would make sense given how beloved it was. Would also help save costs if they were able to repurpose more of that set as well. Could be a Stranger Things reference via Scoops Ahoy, and given the last time ST was at HHN it focus mainly on S2 - I could see it.
- F) M3GAN and Insidious is an interesting combo however it does make sense as both films are Blumhouse Productions that are from this year. Blumhouse being utilized as a combo house like last year could be a response to how widely popular the Black Phone/Freaky house was last year.
- G & H) Apparently these are sequels/spinoffs to past scare zones and houses? Okay sure no comments from me here lol.
- I) Seems like another music themed house to follow off of the success of the Weekend. The guitar makes me think rock and the bolt of lighting makes me think of KISS given their makeup often utilizes that symbol. Bowie also is associated with lighting, but I'm not sure if his vibes fit in HHN - neither did Weekend though so who knows.
- J) I don't know what this is
