Or nah.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Thing clear as day.
We're going to see Rocky.
Rocky spinoff?
Rocky toys.
Oh, yeah.
Rocky toys.
I feel like their points were all over.
I could just tell in terms of, there was actually moments where I think they're such comedic writers.
And I think they weren't the only directors, but I could tell why you would go to them because I think if you have a whiteboard of being like, you guys have already said it, what's the thing you have to get right in this movie or it doesn't work?
It's Rocky.
And I think there's not, like you could probably count on like one hand the level of directors who you're like, they have enough whimsy, they have enough comedic chops, they have enough of a vision where it's like they can take a concept that if you explain it to someone is very corny.
But if you believe if you lean into that, it can circle all the way back to being heartwarming.
I think that's why you go with them.
Absolutely.
I think maybe a little bit of my reservations is like I think I wanted maybe a little less of the comedy because it's so the movie is already funny.
But there were moments where I'm like, oh, this feels like Spider-Verse where you're just throwing shit out.
You're throwing jokes like one liners, punch lines, this and that.
