burning down the natural world to shittily remake a movie about burning down the natural world galaxy-brain

What value is there in adapting the animated medium to live action?

no idea--just making it for fun

prompters turn gold to shit and then shrug and go "i dunno lol"

If this were written satire it would be called hackey and too on the nose.

anakin-padme-2 "You chose to do this to Princess Mononoke specifically because of its themes of technology corrupting nature allows your project to be an Iron-ic (sorry can't resist the pun) way to show the devastating influence of AI 'art', right?"

bazinga "It's what themes? I just think it looks cool!"

The "ai" is trained by pedo-gooners

Wouldn't want to turn Princess Mononoke political.

Because the models that made everyone PoC by default were “corrected”

"The Mononoke trailer is a shot-for-shot remake of the trailer"

shows trailer side by side

is not a shot for shot remake by any standards

What if he got shot for each shot in penance.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

Defacing of beautiful hand drawn animation like Mononoke should be considered defacing art or at the very least, vandalism.

We're gonna find out that the grifters are actually also just chatbots.

Spiritually there is no difference.

I thought they already did a live action adaptation?

I was recommended a Japanese channel that did this with FF6 and it was just awful

You had airbrushed ai waifu Terra and Celes with doll-like faces just kind of lounging around boobily making porn faces and the Magitek soldiers were just American troops in desert camo

Y'know I'm an easy going guy generally, but anyone unironically saying "Kling credits" as if that's a real thing needs to be taken out and [REDACTED]

"I burnt down an acre of the Amazon rainforest so you can watch a trailer for a shitty version of your favorite anime"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it's AI then it's also not live action.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Digitally-Undead Action.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Watching the side by side it’s easy to see how much of this is completely devoid of technical considerations. AI is capable of tweening images, but each shot is framed more or less like a portrait with no movement. I think that turning a storyboard into a live action film will be a viable pipeline at some point in the next couple years, but it’s going to involve just as much process development as it is going to revolve around technical achievements in AI.

We can complain all we want about how this guy burned down a forest to make a shitty fanfic recut of the Princess Mononoke trailer, but looking at his costs and the costs of making movies in general, it’s hard to argue that this isn’t going to become a thing.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's fitting that the first "AI" slop presented to miyazaki-pain was some edgy zombie creature, and that miyazaki-pain started talking about a friend with chronic pain and physical disability that he felt was insulted and disgraced by the garbage he was seeing on the screen.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Miyazaki made the guy he was talking to cry. I kinda felt bad for the guy, but at the same time I'm happy Miyazaki called out the gross ableism.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Considering how eager that guy was to announce the replacement of artists with the zombie slop machine, I think he deserved to feel sad after getting called out.

Fuck yea! I love disconnected scenes with 0 continuity between them (I know this is a trailer but all ai slop is like this) and photo realistic people with PlayStation 1 era lip sync!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Maybe with enough uncredited and underpaid labor to nip and tuck the output, the resultant Mechanical Turk can fix it up enough to be blockbuster slop. so-true

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That shit looks so bleak and generic, especially the exhaustingly tiresome universal waifu template that only gets hair variations.

Of course the computer touching proselytizers will herald this as the future of cinema, and maybe it will be, in a way that makes cinema that much worse if enough of the public are fine with getting shoveled pandering slop even while having a nagging feeling of ennui that they might blame on residual wokeness in the treat printer prompt or something.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I feel as though we're entering a period of low-budget indie movies that rock (your random assortment of A24s, really indie stuff like The People's Joker, Hundreds of Beavers, etc).

And then we've got the AAA shit that is all style, no substance. AI means even the style is rubbing away.

I don't think we'll ever run out of "good cinema". We've been making movies since the 1930s that have been incredible, and producing the back-catalog of Movie Mindset (anything before the 1980s, really) has become easier than ever. But I can see a point on the horizon where I'd never want to go into a theater again.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I think I agree with you. It may be like it already is with bideo bames, where the "AAA" and corpo-declared "AAAA" slop is unbearably overpriced, overmarketed, overhyped, and underdelivered and the good stuff is the small stuff that so far continues to be made.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's YouTube tier content being cranked out by one or two insane people who really just want to make movies that can be good.

They tend to be short and punchy, rather than long form and complex. But the desire to make good art is too strong for people to simply ignore. They're going to make it and they're going to want people to see it and (if its good) its going to get spread around whether Disney wants to compete with it or not.

The real question is whether we'll be able to get it quickly and easily, or whether its going to end up as the kind of media that you can only find if you know someone or have an invite to the right forum.

Yep, I have done nothing but play indie games for the longest time or retro games for this very reason.

Probably the biggest studio I still use to play is Jagex with RuneScape, but even then they have conceived of the idea of a “living game” and actually embrace being bullied by its own community.

Hold on, is this why porky ever started having mercy on minority groups? Some Pavlovian training to get the masses to associate worsening material conditions with no longer having the government sanction hunting minorities for sport?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Possibly.

During the Civil Rights struggles of the 60s and 70s, the capitalist answer was to sell a cheaper exploitative version of the movement. It was called, fittingly enough, "Blaxploitation."

I tough it was something related with the rings of power series because the girl looks exactly* like the hobbit
