It's not that the face is unbelievable, it's the weird, high definition of the details compared to the rest of the photo. If it was 2015, I'd confidently say they copied a better quality picture of his face over this one.
Hmmm. I don't think I'd count it myself, but I get it. At the very least, it surely gets credit for being so foundational for modern fantasy, which is a bit more folkorey imo.
Why does matter. A lot. Just pointing to something and saying it's a problem doesn't help. You need to know why it happened to have any chance of changing things. That you and epic both apparently think throwing cash around should solve it suggests little will actually be done.
To be clear, I'm not trying to argue against artists getting paid. I just think folk-tales transcend that, you know? I've added to my main post to explain myself a bit better.
That's what I'm getting at. The old tales are obviously still available, but it feels like there's certainly more recent things that could qualify and I can't think of anything specifically. Maybe it's just recency that makes them feel less "classical". I dunno.
I suppose that mostly fits. Though it feels a bit...I dunno...corporate? What I'd consider classic tales were, I believe, more-so stuff like passed on folk tales rather than for-profit media. Maybe that's just unavoidable these days.
Or they know that force-feeding themselves needless media that will just make them miserable is not worth it. People that don't do things they won't like aren't "boycotting". They're just not doing it.
