      That sounds a lot like what I imagine the effects workflow is these days. Copy the shit from our back catalog, outsource the nitty gritty to developing nations. Send it to the Disney mega render farm and push it to theaters or +. Rinse and repeat. Those marvel movies have a lot of effects they can pull from. So does star wars, etc. I don’t think writing compelling dialogue is as easy as that, without just copying others completely at least.
