TADC THEATRE RELEASE OPINION:
I genuinely hate theatre releases for indie shows, I had to deal with this over and over again with inanimate insanity and bfdi having cinema screenings exclusive to America and needing to avoid social media for MONTHS. I expected more from an actual Australian company, they should have tried harder and if they couldn't get it in Australia, then they should've either not done cinema releases at all, or release the episode on YouTube the same day. People will watch it regardless. I hate cinema experiences, seriously what do you expect people to do, people are not kind, there will be spoilers and there will be fights.
It's my biggest pet peeve, and no offence to my American friends, but no american has the right to shut anyone who is a none american down for how they feel because they will never understand how stressful and annoying this is.
I really do hope we manage to get it in cinema, but even then, some people find that experience overwhelming, but you've genuinely left them with no choice. Either no social media for 2 weeks, or go to a crowded cinema when you much rather watch it on your own. If you wan theatre releases, release the episode on the same day, people will still go if they are in it for community.
but again, this is just a repeat of the constant object show cinema battle, now it's just another show I expected more from, being Australian.
Its hilarious though, twitter is just full of the whole fandom saying what a horrible move this is from Glitch productions, they should've never done this, what were they thinking. I've been saying this about any indie animation being in theatres for a while. It shouldn't exist.
I really hope that maybe glitch productions listen and decide to release the episode same day as theatre releases but I doubt they will. They really should. They'll still have keen fans going to the cinema.
