Brad Bird told The McKinsey Quarterly in 2008, “The Incredibles was everything that computer-generated animation had trouble doing. It had human characters. It had hair. It had fire. It had a massive number of sets. The technical team took one look and thought, ‘This will take ten years and cost $500 million. How are we possibly going to do this?’
“So I said, ‘Give us the black sheep. I want artists who are frustrated. I want ones who have another way of doing things that nobody’s listening to. Give us all the guys who are probably headed out the door’. A lot of them were malcontents because they saw different ways of doing things, but there was little opportunity to try them, since the established way was working very, very well.
“We gave the black sheep a chance to prove their theories, and we changed the way a number of things are done here (at Pixar). For less money per minute than was spent on the previous film, Finding Nemo, we did a movie that had three times the number of sets and had everything that was hard to do. All this because the heads of Pixar gave us leave to try crazy ideas. [x]
He also voiced edna mode in the movie because nobody else could get what they had in mind for her right.
He did the same thing with his first feature

if you’re ever having anxiety about DMing i just ran a session where almost no progress was made until the last 15 minutes but the players loved it because there was a Deep Gnome named Deep Gnome and all he could say was Deep Gnome and now the discord server looks like this:
The same way some men get when you say you like sports like so what if it’s not at the same degree as you? I still like it?
As long as you’re not being performative about it and continue to show an interest even after the hype,then honestly people can shut up. Let fandoms grow.
Or or OR we can let people enjoy things even if it’s for a moment.
@polytheatrix PERFORMATIVE…over…comics…LOLOL? how about people can like something as much as they want, as vocally as they want, for as long as they want. people don’t actually need your goddamn permission to like something, nor do they need to follow some weirdo 7yo kid rules about liking the hobby youre into. Why on gods green earth would you give a single fuck if complete strangers decide not to keep up w a hobby down the road? it’s not like this is some niche market that is walking a tightrope of existence as they count every dollar. the fuck out of here w youre “performative”
