The visuals of this movie are honestly amazing

>"New asia"

>Uses the writing system of east asia mainly a mix of japanese, Korean and chinese*

>Yep thats all of asia alright

Interesting spectacle, but I have so many questions:
- On the one hand, the bad guys used only commando raids. Yet those included giant tanks.
- There was supposedly a "frontline", yet nothing about combat happening there. And that "Nomad" should have made conventional combat infeasible for the defender. Nevermind naval warfare.
- They seemed concerned enough about colatteral damage to have very precise aim down to the person, yet also willing to fire WMD's into urban centers. Were those even the miltiary bases? How reliably was that intel?
- Apparently nobody figured out just to build Anti-sattelite missiles to take out nomad?
- Why was it called "Nomad" and not "Damocles"?

wow this setting probably has the most fascinating cyberpunk visuals and themes I've seen in a while. the image of a fully synthetic humanoid automaton upholding traditions that have been a part of human civilization in southeast asia for millennia is striking.

I think that The Creator had some interesting concepts and worldbuilding opportunities, but many of them were just squandered and it left many plot points that were just plainly confusing.

So basically it's the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere 2.0 Simulant Boogaloo.

Some suggestions i would love to see:

Night City | Cyberpunk
Cyrodiil and Morrowind | The Elder Scrolls
Survey Corps and Eldia | Attack on Titan

[nizam]

the creator really had absolutley fire visuals only to have such a predictable and basic plot.

[feralprocessor]

Reminds me how humanity in Destiny accepted their post-human EXOs among themselves equally during the Golden through City age.

[Jayjay-qeum]

Makes me wish that there should be an animated anthology series to continue to further explore the universe of The Creator.

[vaughandrew]

The movie felt distinctly like "Star Wars on Earth".

[JacobBongers]

Loved the creator. Despite all of it's flaws, it had some rad worldbuilding.

[mingchoi]

This whole thing is essentially a cybernetic version of the Vietnam War. I wonder which will occur first - the countries of Asia uniting into a superstate or the AI uprising?

Anyway, I hope you'll do some other robot wars like the UN-Machine War from the Matrix, the Maverick Wars from Mega Man X, and the Omnic Crisis from Overwatch.

I remember when I watched this movie of thinking about why would this people use highly advanced and expensive robots for subsistence farming instead of investing in heavy farming machinery. It really made me scratch my head!

[caleblindsey]

Good movie, my only problem with it is that the main character guy gets told that it was human error in the Los Angels AI that caused the nuking but frankly I think that takes away away from the themes of choice and sacrifice, real shame

[JackRabbit]

I really was not going to bother with this film/movie but I genrally enjoyed it I like the world building and how unique it was, second time I watched it kept pausing it to drink everything in with my eye balls

this aspect of the movies was one of the most frustrating parts as new Asia is just treated as some backwards rural zone but with robots like its the fucking 1960s southern Vietnam which was obviously what they were trying to do instead of showing east Asian nations as incredibly technologically advanced urbanised states and with sophisticated armies instead they instead seemingly have no organized armed resistance despite being nation states. Pretty clear the lazy writers were just like yeah, the Vietnam war (which is also portrayed terribly by US writers normally but that’s a whole other thing) but robots are there, completely wasting any potential the new Asia nation had.

Dude I've been waiting for you to cover the Creator! I liked this movie a lot, I wish it got more love
