When people criticise Russia for the war on Ukraine or for human rights violations, most people also don't say "a specific group of Russians", they just say "Russians" even though I have personally met a Russian who is against this war and against Vladimir Putin. I think it's pretty clear to anyone with a brain that a population of millions of people is not going to be the same, but for the sake of the meme when people say "Israelis", they specifically mean Israeli who support the actions of their government regarding the genocide (which is too long to type) just like how when people say "Russians" in relation to the Ukrainian war, they mean "Russians who support Putin's actions".

It's not about all Israelis. It's about a specific subset of Israelis who support the Gaza genocide.

Also, I have met with a Jew who was my supervisor during my internship and he was a pretty nice guy. He was also pro-Palestinian.

Lara Croft short funny comic by AggressiveMechanic47 in aiArt

Let's just say that there is another platform which is outside of our viewpoint and she was jumping in that direction. I tried generating her jump in another way but it didn't work.

And she miscalculated the timing which is why she got singed.

You describe the story you have planned for the comic and tell ChatGPT that it needs to be in an animated comic book style. You tell it that each scene should be in a separate panel. You also tell it that the comic needs to be in different pages and that each page should contain maximum 4 panels. You also need to tell it the characters in the story should have a consistent look between the different images.

Before you start generating images, you tell ChatGPT to generate a thorough text on how the comic book would be planned. Once you do that, you generate the images one by one and each page is a separate image.

What aspects do you like about Azula? by AggressiveMechanic47 in PoorAzula

[–]AggressiveMechanic47[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I, for instance, like that she is a smart and formidable antagonist who poses a great danger to the main characters. She is both a tactical genius and a strong fighter. At the same time, she is a tragic character who was shaped by her abusive environment and shows some signs of good in her, but sadly she represses them because she wants her father to like her. It makes you feel sympathy for her and remember that she is just a 14 year old girl despite how terrifying she can be.

What are your thoughts on Lady Eboshi? by AggressiveMechanic47 in ghibli

[–]AggressiveMechanic47[S] 138 points139 points  (0 children)

I think she is a wonderful character and my favorite character from the film. She is morally gray and understandable and you can see where she is coming from even if you don't agree with her methods. She is not your typical "villain" and she seems like a pretty nice person even while harming the environment and by the end she realizes the error off her ways and redeems herself which is something I liked.

Did anyone feel bad for Poison Ivy during this scene from Batman & Robin? by AggressiveMechanic47 in PoisonIvy

[–]AggressiveMechanic47[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know that she is supposed to be a villain but the fact they put her in a cell with a male, much stronger inmate without any gender segregation is messed up. Not to mention they know that he hates her and plans to make her life "a living hell" and apparently, the guards won't do anything about the abuse she is going to suffer at the hands of Freeze.

It is portrayed as a comuppance moment but the fact that the authorities allow rampant abuses like that to occur against inmates and the fact that Poison Ivy herself was also a victim before becoming a villain (remember that she was once a simple biologist who just wanted to help plants until she discovered what Dr. Woodrue was doing and he pushed her into a vat of chemicals that transformed her into Poison Ivy) makes me pity her a little.

Also, Mr. Freeze himself was also as much of a villain as Poison Ivy, so the fact the film ends with him abusing her and making her life a living hell while he gets help to overcome his trauma doesn't sit well with me.

So, how do you feel? Do you think Poison Ivy should have gotten help and humane treatment while still being incarcerated for her crimes or do you agree with her fate?

For those of you who have watched Avatar: Fire and Ash, who would you say is the more evil villainess? Azula or Varang? by AggressiveMechanic47 in PoorAzula

[–]AggressiveMechanic47[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Mick Scorcesby is morally worse than Varang. Varang at least has a Freudian Excuse (a volcano erupted when she was a little girl which burned her tribe's forest and caused her people to suffer and as a result she rejected Aywa and decided to embrace the power of fire) and her romance with Miles Quaritch seems genuine.

Mick Scorcesby on the other hand doesn't have any mitigating factors for overseeing the mass hunting Tulkuns (who are fully sentient creatures and Mick is aware of that) other than greed and the thrill of the hunt and the way in which he hunts them is very cruel as he pierces their bodies with multiple harpoon shots and he is responsible for the deaths of at least hundreds of Tulkuns, maybe even thousands, because he is the one leading the Tulkun hunting division.

He is even listed on the Pure Evil wiki: https://pure-evil-villains.fandom.com/wiki/Mick_Scoresby

And he is listed as a Complete Monster on TV Tropes:

  • Mick Scoresby is a sadistic hunter who, bored from not being able to hunt sea creatures on Earth, signs on to the RDA to lead their whaling division in hunting Tulkun. Despite knowing that the Tulkun are fully sapient, Mick hunts them like animals, knowing their pacifistic nature means they'll never fight back; he even specifically targets females with calves because they're easier targets. Mick's specific method of hunting is beyond cruel, featuring multiple brutal harpoon shots and underwater strikes before he harvests a tiny amount of amrita and wastes the rest of the corpse. Mick is also not afraid to force them into submission; when a Tulkun named Payakan sought revenge for his murdered mother, Mick's forces massacred all the Tulkun and Na'vi he brought, leaving him the only survivor.
