Also, better acting. Imagine Sharon Stone as the main character paired with a great director and improved script. I can dream, at least

Honestly, I think the premise and setup of the film is not half bad. If it had been made with more ambition, it could have been a classic.

They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.

Wearing big loose orange pants, orange & white jordans, white socks with black stripes disappearing into pant legs that stop a few inches below knee. His right foot is kinda behind him while his weight is on his forward left foot. His right hand is on the ground and his left arm rests on his left thigh. You see a white wig, sunglasses, and tattoos. There is some abstract color stuff as a background.

It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to
when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and π£ goes the scraper

Jaw dropping, stuff honestly.

Itβs a very VERY rough read, but important too.

Manga deserves better than cheap, soulless automation. This is a betrayal of translators, fans, and the art form.
