the ready player one movie depicting the iron giant as just another cool fighting robot makes me mad in large part because the death of brad bird’s sister in a gun-related tradgedy is what inspired him to work on the story. pacifism, specifically anti-gun pacifism, is a huge theme of the story because of that. how ready player one is depicting the giant is disrespectful to that.

I saw another post saying it’s basically this comic:

but somehow even worse.

But i thought the point of the story was that the characters are avatars. It’s not actually the iron giant. It’s some douchebag kid PLAYING the Iron Giant, right?
