This is the best ad for Project Hail Mary I have ever seen. Like if I was on the fence about watching or reading it, this would convince me to do so.

________

You will be remembered as a hero. ________

For those wondering about the fox. Grace has a subtle motif with this animal throughout the movie, but especially this shot where they pack this toy fox with his belongings on the Hail Mary. The pose of it looked a little haunting to me, thus prompting this illustration. __________ (Small/large prints are also available on my etsy ❤️)

Ad agency: Please don't steal the King's potatoes, no matter how easy it is.

Regular people: Wait, the King has easily stolen potatoes? How do I get in on this?

Internet users who have been stealing potatoes for years: We made a machine that picks so many potatoes and also that machine is free. Enjoy!

Fun fact! Both the music and the font in that ad were incorrectly sourced and did not provide compensation to the creators

less fun fact: the temptation to perform the forbidden action is the sole reason that tobacco companies fund anti-smoking/vaping PSAs

Eva Stratt is truly not mysterious, sure she seems that way, but not because she wants that, but simply because no one bothered to ask her anything about herself. When Grace asked something personal she answers, both in the book and the movie. For example she tells him in the book about how she studied history and also talks about her going to go to jail, and in the movie she tells him about the youth choir she was in.

Spite, the great motivator

[moonshinemagpie]

researching the history of education in japan and learning that, pre–Meiji Restoration, peasants/commoners formed their own schools to become educated because it was the best way of fighting tax fraud.

That is, when an official told you, a rice farmer, that you owed more taxes than you really did, it was very useful if you were good enough at math to know he was lying (and could prove it) and if you were good enough at writing to write a letter to your government defending your case.

all of which is to say it's crazy that mega-corporations are now pushing education to be "what if you paid us whatever we tell you to for the rest of your life and never do math or write anything ever again"
