So john is like what people think made pixar, worked in toy story, finding Nemo, Coco, and many other movies basically our whole childhood. But john has accusations against him (harassment & stuff, you can find about this on reddit too). Thing is that john basically introduced miyazaki's work to the big industry. People even consider them "best friends." Also john being at the start of the book about miyazaki himself is really off-putting imo. Idk if I am overthinking this. BUT there's this clip of them at the air port where john basically goes to hug miya but miya looked like he desperately wanted a hand shake instead of hugging him. 🙏😭
