It seems to be true.

Jigsaw puzzle companies tend to use the same cut patterns for multiple puzzles. This makes the pieces interchangeable. As a result, I sometimes find that I can combine portions from two or more puzzles to make a surreal picture that the publisher never imagined. I take great pleasure in “discovering” such bizarre images lying latent, sometimes for decades, within the pieces of ordinary mass-produced puzzles. As I shift the pieces back and forth, trying different combinations, I feel like an archaeologist unearthing a hidden artifact.

For context, this is the current design, the Grumman LLV:

And this is the new 2024 redesign, the Oshkosh NGDV:

Sure, movie budgets can get ridiculous these days, but making a movie is expensive.

...as private as an Instagram account can be, anyway.

As a kid, I was obsessed with the Captain Underpants book series, so you could imagine my excitement when Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie came out 7 years ago(!). "Dog Man" takes place in the Captain Underpants universe (it's one of the comics that George and Harold create), though as I've gotten older I haven't been able to keep up with the Dog Man books.

Long story short, if this is anything like Captain Underpants, I'll be first in line to see this.

I imagine it'd be even worse than that live action ATLA movie

I think you mean James Cameron's Avatar movie from 2009. There was never a film adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Ben 10 is an American media franchise conceived by Man of Action, produced by Cartoon Network Studios, and owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment. The franchise revolves around a young boy named Ben Tennyson, who discovers the Omnitrix — a high-tech, extraterrestrial device shaped like a wristwatch. This remarkable gadget contains the DNA of various alien species, allowing Ben to transform into them at will. Initially, the Omnitrix features ten alien transformations, but over time, Ben gains the ability to unlock additional species.

$100 million isn't considered low budget in Hollywood.

I'll do you one better - if you want your work to see the light of day at all, don't sell your production to Warner-Discovery, as it might get cancelled for a tax writeoff.

So what do you think? Did we dodge a bullet or miss an opportunity?
