Directed by Victor Fleming, The Wizard of Oz is a classic film based on L. Frank Baum’s first book in the fantasy series. It features Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Margaret Hamilton, Billie Burke, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, and Jack Haley.

The discussion around the film The Brutalist focused on director Corbet’s use of AI. He used it to refine actor Adrien Brody’s Hungarian pronunciation for his role as architect László Tóth, and to help create drawings and depictions of Tóth’s buildings. Corbet feels the media coverage of this was inaccurate, pointing out that AI is already common in film editing software. Director Fastvold clarified they never altered Brody’s English accent or performance, but used AI to ensure his Hungarian sounded authentic. Their goal was to respectfully represent Hungarian people and avoid a poor imitation of their language. Despite the controversy, Brody went on to win the Best Actor Oscar and gave a remarkably long acceptance speech.

The official website playfully suggests this connection with the question: “They look like some kind of Pokémon…?” hinting that these treats might foreshadow the arrival of major Legendary Pokémon in the new downloadable content.

This wasn’t just a loyal and lively adaptation; it was arguably one of the most mature Spider-Man shows ever created, willing to explore themes rarely touched upon in children’s cartoons. Unlike other Spider-Man animated series that stuck to typical lighthearted formulas, this show didn’t shy away from darker and more complex storylines. Previous versions from the 60s and 80s often lacked substantial plots and relied on padding, while more recent series tended to tone down anything too intense.
