The official trailer for that Animal Farm remake starring Seth Rogan dropped… it is far, far worse than I think you could have ever hoped:
Holy God, take me out back and fucking shoot me. I am so unbelievably angry. All reddit-tier soy goblin animation and humor. Day-glow grand adventure horse shit. Lets have the music be that God awful “rebel just for kicks” slop that was played ad nauseum for YEARS. Is this how Star Wars and Star Trek fans felt when their shit was rebooted? Or any other IPs or stories have been raped over the last decades? I’ve always kind of been an autist who didn’t really like fictional stuff like fantasy, capeshit or Sci-fi but who loved fiction based on real stories, you know shit like Animal Farm. I loved it because it was so simple and showed in very plain terms in a dot to dot manner how collectivism in farming failed the very people it was meant to help and how the higher brass slowly morphed back into what the old system was. GOOD, SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE. AND THERE ALREADY WAS A FUCKING ANIMATION FROM THE 50s AND THAT WAS FUNDED BY THE CIA, THAT WAS STILL MORE FAITHFUL
One that was more faithful in keeping to its setting. You know staying on the farm instead of a fucking stadium. One that showed common needs and luxuries being coveted and hoarded as a way of being more relatable to the common man instead of comedic sports car gag. One that showed the grueling reality of work and wasn’t afraid to show the dangers of overworking people and how it has deadly, real and horrific consequences. What a crock of shit. Also there needs to be a “new villain” or “real villain” that corrupts the pigs because I guess the idea of internal greed or evil is too much for whatever smug, self righteous, hack, cum drunk, fraudulent, retard who wrote this shit. Lord knows self reflection is too much for our fragile egos.
Combine the pathological incapability of sincerity, with endless unfunny,trite,abortions of comedy, plastered with the name “Animal Farm” and you torpedo its relevance because it's now “Le Funny Pig Seth Rogan”. I mean that was probably the point but Goddamn. I am mad at the internet
