And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

There's also the problem of having to build the virtual environments beforehand, which isn't going to be cheap either.

Not *cheap* but the technology does use the unreal engine, so it's absolutely within the scope of something an indie team can make.

Also, as someone in GBS put it:

Blistex posted:

Someone gives you a money making machine that prints a steady stream of legal tender (dozens of $100 bills every minute). There is a dick sized hole in the side of the machine. The vendor informs you that sticking your dick in there will not only destroy the machine it will also mangle your penis, and permanently prevent you from earning any appreciable amount of money in the future.

You turn the machine on, and in a few seconds you've made more money than any single day in your life. You're set, and the machine is certified to work continuously for at least a few years. You're guaranteed to become more wealthy than you thought possible. All you have to do is stand back and let it do its magic.

You place the head of your penis just a tiny bit inside the hole. The machine sputters a little as a thin slice of your penis is removed by a spinning metal gear. A few bills the machine spits out are useless, but it appears to be fixed now. Wait! It's now working noticably slower. You're still guaranteed to be rich, but not as rich, and not as fast.

You call the support line and they tell you that another attempt will certainly destroy the machine. It will never print out another bill.

You stand back and contemplate the situation. The money you are making. The financial security. The fact that you no longer have to do low paying gig jobs. You look down at your slightly damaged, yet very sore penis. You're reminded that there are two very serious consequences if you. . .

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

It’s obviously not the number one concern about this movie but I feel bad for Maddie Ziegler, who put all her trust into Sia and got completely soaked for it. She got away from the toxic hurricane of Dance Moms only to be thrown into a tornado of terrible judgement.

She’s been working with Sia since she was 11, she regarded her as a guardian and this is how that all ends: with an incredibly uncomfortable caricature of an autistic person

Edit: also she was the young girl/victim in The Book of Henry so this might still not be the biggest train wreck of her career.

I think it's a concern. She's still pretty much a kid, and it sounds like she was concerned from the start. Sia shouldn't have talked her into doing this. Hopefully Maddie ends up realizing that it wasn't her fault.

I had no idea who Sia was until this movie started generating controversy. And then I thought she was some 20 something pop star. I just found out she's 45. That, to me, makes this whole thing even worse.

Sia's said something close to, like, Ziegler being her muse or whatever. When she first started doing videos with her, I think the sentiment was "oh Maddie's away from that toxic Dance Moms poo poo good"... but there was also an uncomfortable truth about Sia being very private (giant wig look) while Maddie was front and center. Sia got heat for the video she did with Shia Lebouf for (Elastic Heart?) where there was a cage and dirty bodysuits and poo poo.

With Music I think people are being way more critical about the artistic partnership between a 17 year old teen and a 40 year old woman.

Dude this is a really hosed take.

Superman's death cry being some kind of hypersonic signal that gets Darkseid's attention is a pretty neat way of explaining away why it was that Earth was targeted after Kal-el's death specifically.
