...And a live-action movie comes to this?

Seems that some people, or studios, have too much money to wasting or have anything really interesting to do in life to make it happen! Especially if people cross to struggle with end meets, the toxic uncivility that results of indifference and sheer individualism from social media and that entertainment corporations became less and less interested to investing on new ideas or those who ask bigger promotion and work out our critical thinking. 

Anyway, the Totally Spies! franchise that turn to live-action is simply too misguided to give it a chance. Like I was explained on past posts, the generic Spy and high-school teenage girls genre been dated and pretty tiresome on an age that fans and audience want to ask why such things have to existed or be made. A live-action feature based of the works and characters of André Franquin was made in 2018, but seems it has done far worser than the original 1981s attempt that also resulted at pure failure. So much that it has never been released to our theaters.

But Totally Spies!, even by its dismal newer season, trying to harken back the 1990s cult-popularity of The Flintstones, no more, no less. Except that the Stone Age family was the biggest Hanna-Barbera property at that time while still gaining fans to viewers of all ages. Nowadays, the show still has fans, but only the nostalgic ones or those who are enough old for understand all the references and gimmicks featuring in this series. In this, it's simply Zodiak Kids does banking to a property that need to be burried and removed forever. The action-packed show was instead, pretty formulaic and be also a direct knock-off of Charlie's Angels by even steal several ideas from some Anime protagonists. Is there is still a point to make the Spies! in life?

Like a good friend of mine have says weeks back, the people who are up there to orchestrate all these things are pure evil. Climatic crisis is a real thing. Not a conspiracy theory one. Meanwhile, you have TV studios who tried to convince you we're in the '00s again, except that it was a very crummy era for animation everywhere in the world. By the premise of Artificial Intelligence (AI for short), contents have to be made faster and cheaper while much of the efforts and money spending on these kind of movies were in the Digital special-effects. Not so for the writing or the characters' acting. This sucks that promising projects been compromised by some guys who looks like nerds who made-up Digital hentai in their basement.

What the franchise could learning after the mistake of the two live-action movies from The Flintstones? Gaining popularity out of nostalgia is too tricky thesedays than it was in the 1990s. Part why the Flintstones again does work that was their original creators, Bill Hanna and Joseph Barbera, were still alive when these movies were made, by be very friendly with everyone they've met, did lots of interviews by often tells the same thing (Like when they says that they've make won seven Oscars for their Tom and Jerrys for MGM). Speaking of which, seems that it's with MGM they will help to fund the deal for this picture. What a coincidence!

But times have changed now. We are no longer in the '90s, either the '00s anymore. It's certainly a producer, desperate to made big fame to a property only a few animation snubs adore it, by thinking to do the greatest "deal" with a movie studio that is muchly known to be face with mergings, buyout and losing all its past movies and properties to another owner back in the mid-1980s. Now, most of its pre-1986s MGMs are own by Warner Bros. Discovery, which it's also odd that the newer season of the Spies! been co-produced by the largest company.

I really lost my mind with humanity. Something that I had struggled in this long 00s period, by the connivance of medias that covers pointless things like this one as relevant information than those we have to be concerned of. Most animals are not only more intelligent than humans, but sacrifice all their individuality to help their peers and build a better society than what we are now.
