The new Wallace and Gromit being about the fine line between technology as convenience and technology as a replacement for joy all whilst being stop motion animated, the most labour intensive and loving animation style we have right now… yeah
how the FUCK did they make that penguin from wallace and gromit look so evil like it’s literally just a plasticine penguin but it somehow radiates Pure Malice look at it
Part of the reason that Wallace and Gromit is so successful is that every single character is just so expressive. The people’s lips move like half a foot every frame. Gromit has basically only his eyebrows, and he has more personality than two average real people. The Moon Machine was up there with the rest of them, and it didn’t even have a face.
The penguin, on the other hand, never expressed anything at all. It’s designed almost explicitly with purpose of not expressing anything. It’s practically featureless, with only the bare minimum of detail necessary to tell you it’s a penguin.
It has a face, but it never uses it. It has no sclera, meaning it stares straight ahead at all times.
It actively repels most attempts to ascribe any emotion to it – at best, you can feel that it is coldly satisfied, perhaps detachedly frustrated. I’d say it’s like a robot wearing the skin of an animal, but that’s literally the villain of A Close Shave, and he was pretty expressive.
It’s like Aardman found a tiny crack in the likability curve, far away from the uncanny valley but a hell of a lot deeper, and decided to build a penguin there.
the idea that soulmates are romantically involved in every lifetime is bullshit actually, sure we were married the first time but now we're friends who'll never part no matter the odds, maybe we were siblings once, pestering and bothering each other without abandon, in another life we were the split conscious of the two-headed calf, in the next we'll be something far worse then anything we were before, after that we might only meet once and change each others lives forever even if we don't get close, maybe i'll be the pet cat that finds you when you're ready to end it all nine times over- but no matter how we end up, i will find you in every life one way or another, because i am part of your soul and you are part of mine
like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.
