Yeah, some folks tried to sue over the movie Yesterday for that same phenomenon, where Ana de Armas was in the trailer but not in the movie.

They lost the suit because they rented the movie TWICE, invalidating their claim that they were damaged and mislead upon watching the movie the first time because they wanted to see Ana de Armas in it.

Today is my third time trying to stay awake during the episode. The pie scene is just shot so poorly and feels like it's so long. I think it's from the framing and how obvious it is they aren't eating the pie, plus they're so stationary. They briefly use bust shots, but it's just not enough.

I can't help but wonder if that's because he could justify doing so. Like, the guy must have a ridiculous diet. I'd want to wolf down empanadas too, given the perfect excuse.

That’s scene is great though. It’s supposed to make you uncomfortable because Möbius is uncomfortable.

Blocking matters. Just sitting two people at a table when the most prominent thing in frame is the food, it's really obvious when the actor is just pushing it around their plate. The director is supposed to try to hide that, not make it clear. It didn't look like two characters at a table eating pie. It looked like two actors filming a shot.

It's not bad because it's uncomfortable, it's bad because it's shot really poorly and in a way that makes it feel 10 minutes longer than it is.

Have you ever eaten key lime pie? What color was it? What color was it in the seventies? Which is the real color of key lime pie? (Google images of it)

It’s crappy key lime pie. A whole automat full of fake rear end dyed key lime pie. What is that saying about Möbius’ choice and argument. What are most children taught to do to be polite when they eat outside the home and the food isn’t good.

Loki is pushing it around on his plate. Möbius is eating the bad pie.

The director is making something extremely clear, I think you are missing what is being made clear.

They might not know the dark secret of bright green key lime pie. I think that mostly stopped being a thing in the late nineties as dyed food starting being something seen as of poor quality and “natural “ became popular.

I did not know any of this so that is another cool detail. So was dessert back then often strangely coloured? My memories of food back in the late 90s was limited to juice packs, cereal (coooooookie crisp), candy and lunchables. Maybe hot pockets as well (thanks big sis). I feel like the 00s didn’t have strange bright food and food was just food.

Their prop pieces of pie literally had like the same amount of pie missing. You literally see Mobius take one bite with any pie material on his spork, versus Loki's several of whipped cream. They both just push the pie around because they're actors pushing around their prop food.

You know it's possible read and not respond in bad faith, right?

Thanks, I know actors push around food on their plate. Hence why I said it. The blocking of the shot is just bad and made it super prominent. It wasn't that Loki was supporting Mobius by nibbling at his pie. Both characters clearly were eating their pie. The shot is just bad, and the pie isn't even why. It's how boring the scene is visually. They cut to bust shots of each actor for 4 seconds each in a 4 minute scene (I didn't time it), and once to the two shot, that was actually a nice little departure. Two people at a table can be fine. Two people at a table with the only thing to do for 4 minutes being push around prop food when the prop food is in the center of the frame is... not good.

When did talking about and analyzing a TV show get so offensive to some people?

Mobius clearly, on screen, eats multiple bites of pie.

Much more of his pie than Loki's is gone at the end of the scene.

Loki eats one bite during the establishing shot then futzes with whipped cream while they talk

It feels less like certain people don't know what actors do and more like a certain other person hasn't had a lot of real human interactions

Scene is good

Food coloring in general and especially in children’s food was much more widespread. They used to sell flats of brightly colored sugar water in cheap plastic containers. Ice pops with enough dye to change the color of one’s poo poo. Several important dyes red 3, red 40, and blue 1 have been linked in some studies to worse symptoms of things like ADHD. In the states they were widespread for a lot longer than in Europe.

Ahhh… I did not know that. I did see some pictures of crazy jello moulds that were the rage back in the day and it made me glad I wasn’t older. Like ham, oranges and olives suspended in jello. Think the pic was from the 70s.
