[Meta] This sub needs to avoid becoming the Simpsons nerd who points out the itchy & scratchy xylophone disparity

Hi. Question for Miss Bellamy. In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone he strikes the same rib twice in succession yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something?

Like seriously if the 'mistake' is barely noticeable, very understandable and requires 2024 technology to notice something in a pre 2000 movie or tv show... yeesh.

The point is problematic funny blunders that are silly and preventable.

Not taking a microscope to every movie ever made and noticing that you can just barely see a stunt double from 100 yards away.

Doing that makes it so movies become less about expression and more about fastidiousness.

So that directors spend time worrying about if the movie will end up on reddit and less about if it is artistic and interesting.

In general I'd take interesting expression over continuity every day of the week.

Dario Argento style

But we can easily achieve a balance with both we just to maintain perspective.
