You know, I like to think that at this point in history there is enough chatter and enough examples that following a very specific style now has an element of divisiveness to it that will cause a percentage of viewership to drop or not give it a chance. It has to be known by now, there is no way anyone can act surprised that the style is not in some way an issue for a percentage of viewers.

So the part I cannot really understand is, why triple down on it? Even if they hate the chuds and are mad people called them out and raged at them back in the Thundercats days, it has to be known that a style has some means of creating an element of disturbance among the viewers and will create problems.

From a marketing standpoint it makes sense to simply quit doing it. It's easy to just make a mouth look differently, than to go on social media and make the project even MORE divisive by unnecessarily stirring up shit with the general public. That's just more and more negative press on a project. Why is it studios are not trying to avoid negative commentary on their output now? It does affect the work, Thundercats was not that successful. Elio was not that successful. Any form of negativity attached to a project does affect it, in a time when they really can't have that while studios are struggling.

I just cannot see any point from a business perspective to double down and do something that is now known to have negative effects on the project.

Yeah, that's why everyone is making movies about the time their parents divorced.
