When Visuals Cost Millions but the Story is Still Loading

Cinematic Wonders vs. Creative Block

Imagine a split-screen where the left side showcases:

• Ultra-epic Avatar-style visuals with glowing jungle landscapes and floating mountains
• High-contrast Na'vi silhouettes against bioluminescent plants
• Cinematic lighting and insane CGI details that scream 'this cost millions'

On the right, a bored filmmaker sits at a messy table:

• Blank notebook titled 'STORY' with only two lazy lines written
• Empty coffee cup and phone in hand, scrolling through reels
• Exaggerated tired face, yawning loudly

Additional comic elements to enhance humor:

• A sticky note reading 'Part 3'
• A tiny progress bar below the notebook showing 'Story: 12% loaded'
• A small alarm clock ringing beside the notebook
