Came here to say this, looks like one of those AI generated Youtube clips.
Films can have the same problem.
Notably the 4th film in the “Divergent” series was never made, although we got the first 3. The 3rd was a rushed failure.

It would take TWELVE YEARS to reboot the franchise as series television for HBO.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians was another notable failure which somehow got 2 films out of a 7 book series:

It also would see a streaming reboot, this time 10 years later on Disney+

This is why you don’t re-use needles folks!
I don’t know about ALL of the US, but Wyoming is definitely a construct.
IIRC there was a test using a laser years ago… or is my brain hallucinating?
Or the Shakespearian definition:
Comedies end in a wedding.
Tragedies end in a funeral.
Bruce Campbell too! There used to be film festivals here called “Bruce Abuse!”
“Mark Watney: Space Pirate”
My daughter in law is Burmese and she got hassled by an elderly hispanic man mistaking her for hispanic.
He caught her speaking English and went off on her about “How dare you not speak your own language!” etc. etc. and was very apologetic once he understood that, no, Burmese nationals do not speak Spanish.
You have to understand, as an environment space will kill you and everyone with you.
This isn’t like mining underground or underwater where if you screw up, you die. In space you have to do EVERYTHING right or you die.
Unless we find an asteroid of pure gold/platinum/diamond the risk/reward ratio is too damn high.

Bias is less concerning to me than accuracy. Left/right? I don’t really care as long as the reporting is accurate.
IIRC each of them, except Silver Surfer, was done to maintain the rights. If they had failed to make a movie, the rights reverted back to Marvel.
91·18 days agoThe Series S is so underpowered it can’t run backwards compatible games enhanced for the Xbox One X, it can only run standard Xbox One/Xbox One S games.
