Thanks to @ednewtonrex.bsky.social. Thanks to everyone who pushed back. Thanks to everyone who filled in that godforsaken questionnaire. Thanks to everyone who walked their celebrity friends through the whole process and got them to make some phone calls.

9. Bottom line:
Actors are artists, not ingredients you can remix at will.
Consent, control, and compensation matter β€” in life and after death.
Please respect the work.

8. Shows like Thunderbirds are a snapshot of their time...creative choices, production limitations, cast changes included. Their imperfections make them "perfect". Nostalgia shouldn't erase that.

7. Moral rights exist to protect an artist’s legacy β€” even after death. In many places, artists have the right to control how their work is used, changed, or distorted.
AI voice recreation could violate those rights.
