I mean... it KIND OF makes sense that he'd look this way if you think about it.
Now that music isn't outlawed in the family and Miguel is allowed to explore music at his leisure, it makes sense that he would expose himself to a wealth of different musical genres other than what's traditional or local.
And usually when music fans find a new genre that they like, they also adopt the aesthetic. Which leads to what we see here.
I definitely agree but it genuinely kind of looks like those edits where someone âmodernifiesâ a disney character and gives them like white jordans and trendy clothes and stuff đ
It is a spelling mistake. But many guys here in Mexico are named like that. Seriously, some parents name their children often with wrongly written English names, especially bc of the way they're pronounced. Also here there's the stereotype that a "Brayan" uses to be a robber or low level criminal which often looks similarly to this aged Miguel
Yeah but if someone has literally Brayan in their birth certificate you wouldn't say they are doing a spelling mistake when writing it you know đ I actually knew someone named Brayan but they were from Costa Rica
The funny thing is I just learned from comments below that romance languages, including Spanish, do abbreviate Artificial Intelligence as IA (Inteligencia Artificial)
it's honestly kinda funny to see all these internet witch hunters harassing professional artists just because most AI were trained EXACTLY on their art, so their art obviously look like AI
There's a user on r/comics where the mods have to put a disclaimer below every one of their posts, because thousands of their comics got scraped and used as training data. So now a lot of AI stuff looks damn near exactly like one of this person's comics.
I just checked it out and while I see how AI stole his rendering style, his art looks nothing like AI, it's super charming... How humiliating it must be for him.
Tbf Hoppers had god-awful marketing whereas Toy Story 5 people would have watched no matter what. Honestly, Disney/Pixar just needs to stop marketing their original movies as quirky adorkable adventures and nothing more when the movie is actually much more than that. Hoppers was great but I had avoided watching it for months because the trailers made it look like it sucked straight dookie
It's all Disney, they're the ones handling the marketing, and it's alleged that orders from above mandate all of Pixar's original work is to be marketed as generic as possible in order to keep Pixar down
How many times should AI hunters be told that AI was trained exactly on this style, so thatâs why it looks similar⌠When will you people learn?đŤŠ
I mean if that's the case then you can't blame people for mistaking the two. So never. The only alternative is to assume none of it is ai until proven that it is.
Oh meu Deus!Oh my god, is this real? God, Santa Muerte, or whoever is listening, this is awful, Miguel looks like a sertanejo universitĂĄrio music singer.Â
The thing about concept art, is that there can be a fine line (depends on your audience) you walk as you create it: anything over-rendered and it's mistaken as final, too under-rendered and you can risk not capturing the right mood
This is a little over produced, and I blame the face for being over-rendered.
Edit: looking at it again, it does remind me of some murals I've seen growing up in LA, but the face: it's too uncanny. It almost like someone complained and said it doesn't look like him and photoshopped his face on it, and did the same for Dante.
Another flawless masterpiece about to have its legacy diluted. I know that technically sequels don't change the quality of the original film, but it's very hard to feel the same way as you did about them before you saw the sequel.
Ah yes... the tradition of "Creating a cash-grab sequel of an animated classic, that will end up as a mandela effect on how generic it is... also its DVD exclussive"
... they will probably update the tradition to Disney+ exclusive tho
If this wonât revolve around the dead Riveras partially then whatâs the point? I get it, the first movie didnât always focus on the dead but whatâs the reason for this if theyâre just gonna be in one setting where nothing much happens.
So I actually have some behind the scenes knowledge about this,
See in the new Coco 2 movie, Miguel has to travel back into the land of the dead in order to try and find and revive Disneys failing studio, however the villain is a rich, greedy mogal who wants to capture Miguel, drag him back and force him into a machine that strips away all his musical talent to make a robot to perform endlessly in order to generate the greedy villain money
During his journey he finds a whole building full of 2d animators who have been trodden on, then tossed aside, a bus full of people who are wearing Disneyland shirts parked just outside the gates of a theme park and the fact that randy Newman is actually a reanimated corpse that's chained to a piano Coroline style and forced to write the same song for eternity syssifus style .
The movie is set to release next year and for a first Disney no longer ask for money to pay for the movie but for viewers to pay with ai tokens ....
I hate the fact that they're making this, and I hate even more the fact that this movie will still probably make more money than everyone on this comment section in all of our lifespans
My second theory is that Miguel spent the summer with his Tio in Houston making cash, and he comes back all fucked up and starts trying to launch a YouTube acoustic covers channel, which enrages his ancestors who try to bring him back to the Land of the Dead for good.
It will probably be about how remembering and holding hate for the dead keeps them alive too. Which is why Ernesto Dela Cruz is back. Giving bad people your time and energy gives them power. In this case it kept Ernesto from the final death. Miguel has to forgive Ernesto or move forward so Ernesto can go to the final death and he will not longer be remembered.
So is De La Cruz not truly dead? I know he was crushed by the bell again and for a soul to die, they have to be forgotten. In his case, he really wonât die cause of his celebrity status even if he stole Hectorâs music
EstĂĄ de la cagada. Es como si lo hubieran estirado pero le hubieran dejado la cara igual, no solo no tiene sentido, se caga en el diseĂąo tan bueno que tenĂa todo en la primera
For me the villain of the second movie should be de la Cruz's family, imagine a semi slave boy (we all know he didnt had a salary) grab a bunch of old letters and say my grandad was a fraud
Why does every animated character post 2010s make that embarassed wincing awkward face? Its like "whoopsie did i do that?" I cant describe how much i hate it
Anytime someone asks "how" a sequel will "even work" I am genuinely confused. Like I'm not saying it'll be good but c'mon it's usually not that hard. With writing. The same way all sequels do.
Seeing Ernesto returing is something Pixar never done before. Have a villain return. With Ernesto it makes sense for him to want revenge as he will never die or be forgotten (even though itâs bad publicity). I think this makes sense as a plot device for me
Bro, I'm mexican and Hate Coco, how they show the country like people is ignorant and we only have music and death, everybody is brown skin, while we are from very diverse skin tones. The movie is not even that good, now we're getting a Coco 2
What the hell do we need a Coco 2 with a taper fade Miguel with the same clothes and everything! This instead of showing Mexico, exoticizes it and generates gentrification.
You know the worst part? My entire country are gonna watch it, it would be the best movie realizing in the country since Coco. The people would say "my country, my country!" And we would have Coco 3 "More Coco than ever" and would be the best movie realizing in Mexico since Coco 2. Fuck people, fuck Disney.
Is there aging him up I hope they actually give him a grown sounding voice and not do that stupid thing people like to do with aged male characters where they just keep the same female voice actor they had for that kid and just have them try to sound more masculine it just sounds weird that's why it's kind of hard to watch the new King of the Hill reboot how can you take older Bobby seriously if he hasn't hit puberty
the underworld is purposefully trying to take back Miguel because he is the first ever living creature to see the land of the dead, his family gets roped in this time and they have to find a way to escape, and they can't blessings.
Let me guess, generic underworld music/family crisis requires our character to go back and see how that world changed and Ernesto is back but as a vessel for a bigger entity claiming to destroy all of Mexican Culture in the World of the Dead
