But many also were the Naysayers, who said amongst themselves (and to any who might listen), “Verily, Lucas alone is the Lord of the Pixels, and ruleth over them with the mystical Eye of El-Emm, and without his insuperable Wall of Rendering the Filmarils Jackson createth will be feeble and lame.” And Jackson spake unto them saying, “Great indeed is the Wall of Lucas, and strong is the power of Eye El-Emm. Yet will I not be beholden to that Eye, and with the Megabucks I will build a MASSIVE army with which to mine the Pixels and cause their brightness to be known afar.”
And Jackson armed his WETAns with ever greater and more powerful blades, so that the Creators of Visions could make war and wrest control over the mines of the Pixels until their captured light shone from their desktop boxes. And wondrous sights both glorious and tragic did they craft, and called upon the arcane and oracular Eye of Seajee to make their visions live and move – and behold, the Seajee Eye answered them with great power, and the visions rose in their various forms, and they walked and battled and spoke and sang with great clarity and pulchritude. (And the naysayers looked at the word “pulchritude” with amazement, and some dove for their dictionaries, while others sagely replied, “what?”)
