The first thing I saw this morning when I opened X was an AI-generated trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom stood in a shapeless void alongside Captain America and Reed Richards. It was obvious slop but it was also close in tone and feel of the last five years of Disney’s Marvel movies. As media empires consolidate, nostalgia intensifies, and AI tools spread, Disney’s blockbusters feel more like an excuse to slam recognizable characters together in a contextless morass.

So of course Disney has announced it signed a deal with OpenAI today that will soon allow fans to make their own officially licensed Disney slop using Sora 2. The house that mouse built, and which has been notoriously protective of its intellectual property, opened up the video generator, saw the videos featuring Nazi Spongebob and criminal Pikachu, and decided: We want in.

My brother in Christ, it’s called Twitter and why are you still checking it? Embrace mental health.

If it helps, op isn't the one opening twitter. It's whoever wrote the article for 404media

They probably have to do so as part of their job. A lot of newsworthy stuff still (unfortunately) happens on twitter or is posted there.

He's still checking it because we're acting like it's still the Twitter we knew.
