Who Watches the Watchmen?

Unbelievable.

Working in retail is wild, I had a woman today say to me “I see you have a section for graphic novels, but where can I find the comic books?” and when I said “I don’t understand the distinction” she gave me an offended look and walked away.  This has the same energy as the time when I worked at a craft store and a girl asked me if we carried “an embroidery hoop, but rounder” and I had to look her square in the face and ask “you want something rounder than a circle?” as if the encounter didn’t take a year off my life.

SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE (2018)

[biscuit-thebloggingpastry]

ALL THE FUCKING DETAILS IN THIS SHOT.

Whrn the group moves to the left, Gwen is the one who takes her eyes off him to make sure the group roubds the corner. Miles turns his head both times, but not only is he the center of the group, but his leg is one of the few things keeping Peni suspended meaning he needs to pay the most attention to the wall.

Noir and Spidey both keep their eyes completely on chair-guy on the first pass. Noir only looking away when they go back for a split second to confirm where they are going, before snapping back to the “threat”. Spidey however, doesnt look away, which leads to his feet dangling in the air while they round the corner.

And of course Porker is a cartoon and bound to his own Roger Rabbit logic as he squeezes behind them without disturbing them.

It May seem silly to point this stuff out, but it informs so much about the individual characters, and really needs to be appreciated ot terms of great animation techniques.

This is also the best shot for showing off the different art designs ie. Noires filter over his image, the cartoon nature of Ham, and even small details in the difference between Gwen and the other two mainline spideys.

IT’S SO GOOD.

One detail I love is Peni.

Like, she’s up there too, and out of all of them she’s the one who technically doesn’t have any of the spider powers necessary to stick to the walls. So how is she staying up there?

Miles and Gwen.

Look at how they’re both positioned: Miles keeps his right leg angled so that Peni has a sort of perch to keep her legs against, even while they’re on the move, while her upper body is being held in place by Gwen’s left hand (Gwen’s entire left arm isn’t visible in the movements, compared to how we see everyone else’s arms).

Peni is being carefully held in place by Miles and Gwen, and I love that detail.

Peni also shifts her eyes to look the direction they’re moving the second time. Just for one second, then she focus on Ganke again. Even though she’s not doing any moving herself, she too pays attention to the wall.

Also the animators of this scene pointed out they specifically shoved them all together like this to make a shape that’s akin to a spider; they even tried to make out all the limbs of the spider during this animation!

Do you ever write a message but halfway through you think “you know what fuck it they don’t even care” and delete it.

i love people who are incredibly book smart but otherwise stupid as shit. i have a friend who got a 4.0 in college but had to ask me if there were calories in soap

[popokko-deactivated20210315]

ok i apparently wasn’t clear enough with how stupid this question was. they didn’t mean if you ate it. they asked if you rubbed soap on your body, like in the shower, if there was nutritional value to that. we’re talking peak dumbass here not natural curiosity

My mattress is strapped to eight roombas and I leave all my doors open at night so the roombas can go where they want to. I wake up where they want me to be. I trust their decisions.
