WHY IS NOBODY ASKING ABOUT WHAT IS IN ALEX’S WAIST BAG??!

I really enjoy all the actor AUs that I see for anime and cartoon shows. So I thought I'd make one for miraculous. It's probably been done before but🤷‍♀️

Do not repost to tiktok or youtube, etc.

Madison Reyes as Julie Molina in Julie and The Phantoms Season 1 Episode 1:

"What would you say if I told you there are three ghosts living in my mom's studio?" You'd say I'm crazy."

One of the common mistakes I see for people relying on "AI" (LLMs and image generators) is that they think the AI they're interacting with is capable of thought and reason. It's not. This is why using AI to write essays or answer questions is a really bad idea because it's not doing so in any meaningful or thoughtful way. All it's doing is producing the statistically most likely expected output to the input.

This is why you can ask ChatGPT "is mayonnaise a palindrome?" and it will respond "No it's not." but then you ask "Are you sure? I think it is" and it will respond "Actually it is! Mayonnaise is spelled the same backward as it is forward"

All it's doing is trying to sound like it's providing a correct answer. It doesn't actually know what a palindrome is even if it has a function capable of checking for palindromes (it doesn't). It's not "Artificial Intelligence" by any meaning of the term, it's just called AI because that's a discipline of programming. It doesn't inherently mean it has intelligence.

So if you use an AI and expect it to make something that's been made with careful thought or consideration, you're gonna get fucked over. It's not even a quality issue. It just can't consistently produce things of value because there's no understanding there. It doesn't "know" because it can't "know".

imagine the amazing song we are going to get in season two when nick is possessed by caleb. if they do not have sacha sing a broadway inspired villain song i will riot.

Spider Man: Into the Spider Verse

This is one amazing movie. Everything was done right, the animation was used to full advatage, the music, the characters, the plot and the storytelling - everything was great, if not completly original, but done in a fresh, dynamic and sincere way. 

Once again it gets proven that the main character doesn’t have to be ordinary to be relatable or interesting. Miles Morales is not another plain, socially awkward guy. No, quite the opposite, he is cool, carefree and confident, has friends, good grades and always a smart joke to offer. He has some quarrels with his parents - but nothing extreme, they love each other very much - just that natural little disparaty between parents pushing thier child to make something of himself and the child just trying to find who he wants to be. It’s relatable to youngsters, but not so overdone yet to be preachy. 

The movie makes an intersting point by showing how parents don’t have to be absent or outright extreme abusers to still make for an engaging influence for their children and how even the best intensions and love don’t make relationships without conflict or strain. Miles’s parents have an actual role in the movie and actually have some meanigful and moving moments.

The characters are plastic, likeable and well-written, acting logical and with understandable motives, flaws and charisma. Mainly Miles is a smart kid doing his best, coming off free and easy, trying to find his way. 

There is uncle Aaron, who without the immediate concern and responsibily of a parent takes the role of a relaxing, charismatic and casual confidant to Miles and later gets and interesing shady plot twist. 

Then we have Peter B. Parker an older version of the typical Spiderman, with a future that took a surprisingly realistic bleak turn. But don’t be fooled, despite the rugged and a bit neglected appearence, he is still the capable hero we know, with experience and abilities you can count on. His start as a teacher is a bit ruff, but he learns step by step, not only winning the sympathy of the audience but also a rewarding development of his student. 

Next we have Gwen, a pretty action girl, taking her superhero role with style and spark. This is not a love story by any stretch, but her presence is powerful and makes for a nice dynamic with Miles. 

All Spidermans have their own distinguished tone and make for a solid, funny and powerful group. Their protectivness towards Miles as the latest Spidey, who still has lots to learn, without derogating his importance is sweet. Their respective fashion, fighting style, personalities and quirks prove great attention to detail and make the ride that much more lively. 

It’s also a great origin story for our main hero, since he has the abilities and the brains, but still needs to belive in himself. This doesn’t sound as a very original conflict, but it’s conveyed very emotionally. Miles faces his challanges with realistic fear and beginner’s incompetence, but still comes off as a strong, determined and moral boy. He struggles, he falls, but he cares and learns - this process is portrayed masterfully in the movie and the final, where Miles accepts all the lessons and finds his inner balance and belief in himself, is that much more satisfying. 

Miles is an incredibly well written character. It’s gratifying to see him not being a meek weakling just to have a bigger contrast for his growth at the end. Miles is cheeky and smart, obviously talented and intelligent with a loving family, but still has enough room to grow, enough obstacles to overcome and enough of the world’s and society’s as well as personal problems to face. Yet he manages to be very approachable, representing modern teenagers and circumstances in a playful and compellig way, making the movie a fantastic experience.
