people are drawing Steamboat Willie Mickey doing all this crazy shit and whatnot, but you could always do that. you can do that now, with current Mickey, just fine. it's fanart and it's legally protected. hell you could take Disney-drawn Mickey and put a caption about unions or whatever on it and it would still be protected under free speech and sometimes even parody law.
what is special about public domain is that you can SELL him. you could take a screenshot and sell it on a tshirt. you can use him to advertise your plumbing business. people have already uploaded and monetized the original film.
you could always have Mickey say what you want, but now you can profit off it.

Listen it might already have been said but the thing that makes Knives Out and Glass Onion distinct and great compared to mysteries with Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot is that they are both very importantly not focused on the detective.
Benoit Blanc is an great character to be sure, but the journey is focused on the injustice towards the victim. The thing that drives the movie with the thirst and want for an answer is NOT in the pursuit of showing off how smart and intellectual our main detective is, but instead is driven with the pursuit of showing off the compassion and humanity of the main character WHICH is NOT just the detective, but also the victim.
The inherent cold, factual apathy that is present not only in many typical fictional detectives, but in the very nature of our obsession with crimes and mysteries--whether it be a TV show highlighting a detectives’ intellect by showing how little they care for emotions, or a documentary on the “insane brilliant psyche” of a real life serial killer. The FOCUS is always on the crime, on the murderer, on the unfeeling facts and sciences that “must always lead” to an eventual answer.
And that is why it is so refreshing when these movies subvert these tropes, not just on the surface level of telling you who the killer is midway through, or making a perfect crime look idiotic. No, it’s also that they change the very object of desire and that it is not just looking to see who the killer is, but to see who the victims are, and where the justice is. It’s about the victims and their pursuit of closure when the justice system fails them! It’s about the detective being a caring human being instead of a knowledge machine! It is about how there is more to the crime than just solving the crime! but also yeah the movies are good because benoit is gay with hugh grant that too

I’m just gonna post this because it’s been like 3 weeks. Anyway my hobby musician emmet brainworms afflict me every second of every day so I wanted to try to draw something for it. Drawn while listening to Will Wood’s “in case I die” live album.

[ID: A digital painting of Kaname Date from AI: The Somnium Files. He is drawn from the chest up at a side view. Boss’ arm extends downwards from the upper left corner of the canvas to cradle Date’s chin. Blood drips down from his eye, onto her hand and then down to the bottom of the canvas. The background is separated into two sections by Date and Boss’ arm; the left side is a cream color while the right side is black. They both have a red synapse pattern with the right side’s being a bolder shade than the left’s. End ID]

I'm not feeling particularly inspired lately, so thanks to the peoples who sparkled up this idea in the tags of one of my previous work.
This can also be read as another continuation of this
