Was looking at some of the titles on Please Rewind’s sale and this one came up. Love this movie, but this cover is pretty awful. Anyone got anything worse?
I hate to put on my tin foil hat, but the synopsis on the back of the trade for Batman Dark Patterns reads vague and frankly like it was generated by AI. I’m a teacher, and because AI is so accessible and frequently used, I’ve grown pretty sensitive to it. I’ll be the first to admit that it could be paranoia.
The factors that stand out to me are the overuse of adverbs, the almost laughable vagueness of the summary, and when it mentions that the story “reassures readers.” Acknowledging the reader seems pretty clunky given that only reader would, ya know, read the story.
I’m not even sure if this is inherently a bad thing. Typing the summary of a trade has to be a tedious chore, so maybe using AI to do something 90% of people will never read isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I just wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts were.
I would love to know where they get their vhs rips of the ppv. Some of those with the kick off shows. I assume there is a vhs rip archive they have access too, but does anyone know for sure?
