    You didn't mention it but I thought I'd point out how TERRIBLE the storyboarding/screen direction was in this. Idk who was responsible because they didn't have any storyboarders listed in their credits. If I took a shot for every time they "broke" the 180 degree rule, or failed to indicate a transition, establish a character/motives, establish a setting, lingered on unnecessary details.....etc. I'd absolutely be dead

SUPERJAIL! was gloriously, proudly ugly at times but it was the sort of ugly that can only be produced by people who care about their craft and want to put on a good show for the people who paid the price of admission.

They have a use, but as the kids say; “this ain’t it, fam.” Blame the scammers, because they’re the ones deterring legitimate innovators from coming into the space and coming up with novel uses for NFT’s. It’s always this way, humans come up with an awesome new technology and then the worst people in the world move in immediately and use the tech for the most horrific purposes imaginable. But I think maybe I’m arguing semantics here and you probably don’t have a problem with the technology itself and more so have a problem with how it’s being used. Crypto as a whole isn’t exactly great for the environment, but there are definitely bigger fish to fry if we want to actually help the environment.

You pay them, and they give you a receipt of purchase. They go to an unmarked supply closet in the back of the museum and post a handmade label saying "mona lisa currently owned by Gaming With Noah" so if anyone wants to know who owns it they have to find this specific closet in this hallway and look behind the right brooms.
      You ask "can I take the mona lisa home now?" and they say "god no, are you stupid? You only bought the receipt saying you own it, you didn't buy the actual mona lisa, you can't actually take the real mona lisa" and then he gives you a print of the mona lisa from the gift shop.
      Also, the person you paid has never at any point in time owned the mona lisa.

      Basically it's people wanting to claim ownership of something, so that if you go look in the huge ethereum network (which is basically where they register all those who bought or sold something with their own type of money called Ether, which is what they like to call cryptocurrency cause it's literally a currency that only exists online), you'll find "this person owns this thing", as in its official and they have it, its theirs. But that's it, people can still literally take screenshots of it if they want to use it, cause you can't stop them, it's the internet. And most of the time it's just something rich people like to do to show off how they possess "valuable and costly" things. When the general public really doesn't care.

"if you want to make it in the art world there is only one thing you need to do, and the quality or statements of your work has nothing to do with it. The only thing you have to do is convince the rich bastards of the world that your artwork will make them more prestigious. The better and more unique your brown nosing to the rich, the more money you'll make." To me, that's why NFTs are becoming so overpriced, and the controversy seems to just add to it and the block chain is the gimmick.

I'm a musician and sometimes when i need a little cash i would grab my guitar, head out to the center of the city and start playin like crazy and at the end of the day, i would sit in a bench and start drinking coffee or something and start watching an old man painting something on the street... It was fantastic, the old man used all kinds of techniques, from spray cans, to pencils and even rags with paint on it... It was so beautiful to see, the experience of the old man, his passion and absolute genius of how he distorted reality in a piece of paper. I bought that painting and it's one of my most valuable things i have, i can still touch it and feel in the paint the passion of that fellow old man.

But the pretentious wealthy will monologue about it’s “artistic qualities” in an attempt to justify it’s inclusion in high end collections and explain it’s ridiculous price. Much like how they attempt to do the same with their own wealth, when it was extracted from the surplus value generated by their wage slaves.

    I’ve been drawing since I was in literal diapers and this makes me sad. This isn’t the culture we as artists have tried to keep, this isn’t what art is. As I see it, art is supposed to be used as a way to make imagination a reality.

      Feels like an extension of that icky commercial feel in art. Where the quality is chipped away in favor of marketability. Artists that put passion into it are essentially being told to move over and let these shallow works be considered the "true" purpose and form of art. It reeks of "get rich quick" and seems to be a bait to get people to either scramble to buy, or scramble to slap something together and hope someone else is dumb enough to buy it, without caring about the art it's self. I think the "value" of art isn't everything- especially when it's clearly being manipulated. Someone spending a few minutes tracing over a template and recoloring it isn't inherently superior than work that strives to connect with the audience just because someone has money to throw at it.

The goal with buying art is to sell it at about the same or slightly higher price decades from buying it. The (stated) goal with NFTs is to double your money in a year or less. The problem is in order to sell your NFT for twice as much you have to convince someone else that they can sell it for even more. Eventually, there's no more suckers left to buy.

    The thing with NFTs is that it’s not the art piece itself that you’re purchasing. You’re basically purchasing a digital receipt that SAYS YOU OWN the art piece, like the world’s most useless certificate of authenticity. The value comes not from the art but from the ownership OF said art. The problem comes with the fact that it’s online and digital, making it very easy to replicate (i.e. right click saving, screenshotting) This is bad for a trend that lives off of artificial scarcity. So not only is it environmentally destructive, but it’s basically pointless and a scam made for rich snobs to stroke poetic about. Also, it’s no wonder so many NFTs are stolen art when official ones like bored apes look like THIS! 🤮🤮🤮
    EDIT: This got waaaaay more traction than I expected! Anyway, If you wanna own a peice of personalized art that actually supports artists and DOESNT use a country’s worth of electricity to make, consider commissioning an artist for something! (Mine are open hint hint)

    NFTs piss me off in general, especially as an artist. Even just ignoring the blatant environmental damage and the scamming that goes into selling and trading them, the claims that they help artists isn’t even true. The people selling them don’t even care about the art let alone the artist themself. It’s all about just making money. It’s just really sad because I’ve seen a few artists I like start trying to sell them and I just know they’re either going to get hurt or swept up into the whole thing and their art will likely suffer. Luckily most artists I know are smart enough to not even speak well or even neutrally about them lol it’s always good to see people speak out about them in anyway.
    Also just so everyone knows for sure: it doesn’t help “decentralize” anything and sure as hell doesn’t help the art industry. It just makes it even worse than it already is.

It makes a reference to a work but it isn't the work and gives you no right and no property over the work. People who sell NFTs like to use terms like "NFT art", "NFT game" or "NFT cartoon" to trick people who don't know any better into thinking they're buying a work, but they aren't, and that goes to show that NFTs are undeniably a scam considering the people producing and selling them are actively lying about what they're selling. It cannot be stressed enough: NFTs. ARE. NOTHING.
    Second, there's no technological process going into making an "NFT cartoon" because again, the cartoon _isn't_ an NFT. I repeat in case it's still not clear: the NFT is not the work and has no bearing on the work whatsoever. You can make NFTs of literally anything, because NFTs are nothing. You can just decide that something is an NFT of a work. Hell, you don't even need to _own_ the work to make an NFT of it, which is how countless artists are already being fucked. So it's literally just another cartoon, it's just that someone somewhere made an NFT that they decided authenticates it (but still doesn't make you own it).
    NFTs are the very illustration of everything wrong with modern economics: people getting rich off other people's work while they themselves produce nothing; selling hot air that has no purpose other than being resold, and enthusiastically destroying the environment in doing so because who cares if you die as long as you get to have the richest corpse? Meanwhile, the people who made the work you're getting rich off of do not see a single cent of the profits.

      You just explained capitalism in your final paragraph. This isn’t a modern economics thing, it’s been going on for centuries. Not the nft’s, the part about people making lots of money without doing any work and the people who actually did the work don’t get a single cent of it.

    NFTs are basically just status symbols for idiots with more money than taste (as most "art" and non-essential consumer goods are) and this seems to have been an ideal example of the genre. It probably won't retain its supposed value, but if people are stupid enough to buy it, it is valuable to them. As for myself, I prefer to create my own art to suit my own taste irregardless of what other people like.

Some people want an actual, physical object took a certain amount of skill to create that might increase in value due to antiquity, whereas part of the appeal of NFTs is simply because they're new and cutting edge. The difference between traditional art and NFTs is sort of like the difference between listening to Bach and listening to K-Pop...both are considered music, but they appeal to different audiences, with different ideas as to what constitutes "art."

    One of the most jarring things is that their structuring and framing of the shots are just... horrid. The composition is bad, you can see the white 'halo' (should be an aura of hell tbh) around the nft-cutout's faces when they speak or do anything, they're horrendously off-model when there's a shot that doesn't use a cropped nft picture, and it's important to mention the jarring difference in pixel quality between nfts. Because they used a rig-based animation system for this show, they had a chance to use vector art for the apes, even everyone else. (That's another thing, the art-style is inconsistent because you have the grungy apes, then the rather smooth humans, and the smoother humans, and then the gradient blingee apes.) Anyway, vector art would have at least allowed them cleaner lines no matter how zoomed in.

    Nfts are hailed as a way for "artists to make money" when commissions are so much better, even shops. I spoke to a cryptotard and he basically told me "why would I support an artist I enjoy when I could buy an nft and make profit off that artists work?" Genuinely discord almost shat itself when people were cancelling nitro over them trying to get into nfts. Nfts have no purpose other than profiting off artists work. Some of them are so highly inflated it's disgusting. Its shown that nft bros throw cash back and forth to themselves to make their nft look more expensive.

      It seemed so blatantly false when they started with that- either they didn't know, or thought artists wouldn't know. Perhaps backtracking a bit to say that it works better in some vague unspecified way. Really for most independent artists it's just an unnecessary solution to a problem they don't actually have. And some artists probably don't care anyway. The whole thing assumes every artist is just chasing the money- But I'd say even people who do it for a job had to have been inspired to do so by some amount of passion, at least initially, and are going to have too much self-respect. It's an irritating feeling watching what looks like bad liars trying to force something on people who they don't even care to understand. They act as if it's obvious why someone would want it, and come across as pushy salesmen that also praise themselves as some kind of benevolent rescuer of poor artists ("Where would they be without our help?") and then turn around and make it clear to them it's about the money. They can't even be bothered to hide that they have 2 faces. (And may even conflate them at times)
