Well I was going to eat my words about the design being bad and I still should. Seeing it in full it's vastly better.
That said I saw this coming the moment they delayed the movie twice to extend their goofy Mulligan. Whether it turned out good or not, the only way they were going to achieve this was by putting workers through the electric wall, and here we are.
Classic deflection has already begun, with people saying that they were working on other projects too. That makes this worse, galaxy brains. Corporate pushing extra hours to redesign the lead character that their cash grab is built around because they couldn't be assed to have a proper delay or like, have designers with brains in their heads (good job getting a hold of Hesse well after the fact, omega good job really) is in fact not something you should be mentioning other than as sarcastic praise.
There are obviously a lot more moving parts to this, but I'm not shocked that between the parent company and clients like Disney and Paramount, everyone wanted to save money so they sacrificed the animators on the altar of capitalism.
It probably won't be worth it either. This still looks dumb and it's coming out in literal February.
