“I reached out to my good friend Andy Park, who was the genius behind creating the original Wasp super-suit and concept drawings, and I said, ‘Is this true? Is this really what’s happening?'” Lilly said in a video post reacting to reports of Marvel layoffs amid a larger Disney pivot to AI. “He said, ‘Yeah, it’s true.’ I can’t quite believe that… that Disney has let go of the artists who brought the Marvel Universe to life through their genius and that the people who invented these characters and who designed them are being replaced by AI. AI that will take their designs and take what they created and use it to create iterations of that. I am so sorry, Andy. I am so sorry to every one of the artists who were let go.”
Movie stars are so cute. "Shame on you!" aww. How about you riot with the rest of us now Evangeline? One has to wonder whether they actually inhabit the pretend world from the big screen, where no issue is complex, fights have an end, and somehow good faith and justice prevail in the end. They appear to wake up to things just a tad later than everybody else, and invariably in the most naive manner. Given their predicament, I find myself utterly incapable of sympathy. I appreciate however her kind words directed at VFX professionals and artists at large.
