The show constantly blurs the line between “pet” and “human,” which creates absurd situations like this one. The audience accepts it because Family Guy’s world operates on exaggerated cartoon logic.
The tension between confidence and ignorance creates the comedy.
Brian’s role makes it even stranger and funnier because he’s technically a dog, but in Family Guy he behaves like a human adult with emotions, ego, jealousy, romantic interests, and relationship problems.

It’s a fascinating comparison because Joker wasn’t just successful, it proved audiences would show up for a villain-centered character study if the filmmaking treated the character seriously instead of like a gimmick.
Applying that idea to The Hunt for Gollum could make for one of the darkest and most psychologically interesting stories in the entire The Lord of the Rings universe.

Peter Jackson says ‘THE HUNT FOR GOLLUM’ movie was inspired by ‘JOKER’.

Nicolas Cage wanting SPIDER-NOIR to release in color first feels like an attempt to bridge generations instead of forcing modern viewers into an older style they may instantly reject. His idea is basically: hook people with something familiar, then lead them toward classic.
Nicolas Cage says he suggested shooting ‘SPIDER-NOIR’ in color because “teenagers don’t have much experience with black & white.”
“The dream is they watch it in color and then check it out in black & white, learn something and go ‘hey I wanna see some of these movie references.’ And then they just open a treasure trove of great American cinema.”
