Um... Did A.I Write Disney's Strange World???

[@samuelpockey]

One huge problem nowadays is that A gay character does NOT equal good A good cast does NOT equal good A good movie is intelligent story telling and careful world building Strange world did not understand this

[@ilikespaghetti4458]

Another huge problem nowadays is also: gay characters and good casts don't equal bad either. Intelligent story telling and careful world building can very much include these aspects but many do not have the media literacy or objective lens to understand that

[@bendingdemon6483]

"A gay character does NOT equal good" made me immediately want a gay villain (because opposite of good is bad and just about every gay person in movies and shows are good guys so NOT GOOD would be bad guy). So clearly evil and full of malice but then their partner is the exact opposite, still evil and with malice of course, but in a cheerful way. They're like Pinky and Brain but without the Pinky person foiling every plan. One is pure evil and shows it through being a ruthless monster, the other is just as evil but shows it with joy in every note and movement like "We're gonna take over the WOOOORLD YIPPIEEEE :D". Imagine Honey Lemon from Big Hero Six but if she was a villain instead of a hero.

[@magnusm4]

Similarly to what Nostalgia Critic once mentioned that can be applied to any part of media: Just because you have comedians in the role, doesn't that mean it will automatically be funny.

[@XuHaochengRyanHshs]

Nah, ppl blame all the bad movies nowadays on ai, its probably the dumb writer.

[@obnox1ous_3fe420]

Thank you for mentioning this

[@PurpleGuy661]

Yea

[@fishraposo7192]

In many cases, AI would do a better job lol

[@boswcheydoesart1314]

I'm actually learning how to write novels with help from ChatGPT. I have a little brother with moderate to severe autism who's as in love with storytelling as the rest of my family. My goal is to build a sort of semi-automated process to help him bring his ideas to life despite his challenges in communication. Probably my favorite thing I've discovered about ChatGPT as a writing aid is its ability to spur chain reactions. For example, I'm currently writing a near-future sci-fi that starts with the destruction of planet Earth. The story follows astrophysicist Flora Bolton as she struggles with the loss of her home and everything she knows whilst working with her alien rescuers to take down the evil AI that destroyed Earth. Along the way, she meets two other human survivors that each symbolize other coping strategies. Erin Norman symbolized meeting your past trauma with hope, for example, so I didn't plan on him having that many flaws (besides only being human). But I asked ChatGPT for ideas for his misbelief about the world, and it gave me the belief that hope was all it took to create positive change in the world. I loved that idea because it allowed me to write a scene where both characters are wrong, but both also have good points. It inspired me to give them a deeper connection so the characters have more opportunities to play off each other as the trilogy goes on and I'm really excited to see where it goes. Sorry Ryan, my point was you're absolutely right. It might just be me from the outside looking in, but I don't think the critics of AI creativity are afraid of art becoming less human, not necessarily. What they're afraid of, and rightfully so, is that art will get less emotional. They're afraid it'll lose its luster because humans aren't there to direct its emotional impact. The first thing I have to say about that is that, if the humans want their art to be good, they'll be there to give it emotional impact regardless of how much AI helps them and in what way. Trust me, I've seen plenty of AI trying to be creative to tell you that it won't be able to do it for a long time, maybe never. The second thing is, entirely organic art has and will continue to be bad. Bad artists have existed just as long as good ones, and I don't think any advancement in technology is going to change that.

[@VladReble]

The giant turtle complaint is really dumb tbh, like lots of media use that idea, like the avatar tv shows

[@askatuproductions]

To be honest, the first thing that came to my mind was Simbad and the island that turned out to be a whale but maybe i'm just too old lol

[@LibrAstrid]

Or the giant Star Whale from Doctor Who. I get the criticism, the lead up to the fact that the story is taking place in a living being need clues and build up, otherwise it feels like a cop out

[@fumomofumosarum5893]

to be fair - avatar sucked.

[@reinbew62]

People see something bad and immediately assume it was AI. Like mate, that's a SERIOUS insult for a writer. AI writing is unoriginal, soulless, generic with characters having no character development, nor any consistent plot at all. I experimented with it and asked it for a sci-fi story. Not only did it give the most generic, boring result ever, it also didn't give the character ANY personality. So stop blindly assuming AI was used in something you didn't like, because I can assure you, AI does so much worse.

[@zeniththetoaster9712]

Well sometimes it's deserved

[@magnusm4]

If the writing makes people think of a soulless source then their work is soulless. And given Disney's and other people's previous works. Yes. Insult them. A lot. They made Beauty And The Beast and The Little Mermaid. Yet THIS is what they make over a decade later? From Oscar winning to, Home On The Range. Why.

[@ZandiaConZ]

this video feels written by AI tbh

[@papermr.magolorguy7957]

Being Woke is not a problem, being a bad writer is

[@KaylieghHereford]

THIS. Let me give you an example just to prove how right you are: The game Undertale is a very successful game that is loved by pretty much everyone who plays it. And it, *Gasp* has a lesbian couple in it. Yet I have never seen a single person complain about it, or the game itself. Why? Because it's a well-written game with amazing characters and a great world. (Also, they had great chemistry!) Now will everyone support this couple? No, and that's ok! But it doesn't change the fact that it's a great game!! Likewise, having the "Totally first gay couple ever, nobody has ever been as innovative as us, so DON'T YOU DARE POINT OUT ANY OTHER GAY COUPLES!" Doesn't change the fact that it's a bad movie. It doesn't matter if it's "Woke"! It matters how good the writing is!

[@tamago1704]

it's the fact that they're using their woke propagandas as a "wall", as Toon coined it, against criticisms.

[@CryztalPKMN]

@@KaylieghHereford Also, don't forget about Royal Guards 01 and 02 and their chemistry, the game is just overall a huge masterpiece

I agree I'm gay and I don't like when a gay character or LGBT is used as a crutch or argument why a story is good. I do not mind at all when it's done well or there just not spot lighted

[@CodeVault-k1k]

NGL, I thought the movie was good because of the introduction, but you are right it feels like it's written in AI.

[@thecanadianfood]

If you think it's AI because of bad writing, I would say that you over estimate the writing abilities of the writers at Disney.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

It is important to note the writers strike was not about stopping AI, the writers were fine using it to do their jobs. They just objected to being removed as useless middle men in the process. AI is a fine tool imo, but it should always be refined and touched up by human hands afterwards. Be it a script, a game or a picture tge AI rough draft is usually trash with a hint of a good idea.

[@magnushinge2358]

I have never heard of this woke wall before, like I'm a socialist and I know that I haven't met anyone in my circles who liked this movie. So much wasted potential for a solarpunk story, and the plot is weird and doesn't show the points well. I think only weird twitter users call people homophobic for not liking a movie with a gay couple.

[@wickedfigstv9888]

Just wanted to point out that the concept of the World Turtle is far older than the Discworld series. Both it and this movie drew inspiration from the same mythologies, but it's most certainly not plagiarism.

[@nettlebean]

You clearly put so much effort in your videos but they hardly get recognition, I hope this changes soon!

The giant turtle can be considered a cliche at this point, enough media has used it

[@daviio]

im not letting you cook after saying that AI can cook fresh new script ideas, i use a few ai text generators, yara yara, in short, they're not fresh. you aways will have to manually edit it afterwards

[@TopsyTriceratops]

What sucks is that the homosexual inclusion in the story doesn't feel earned. It feels like a worm on a hook because the hook itself is clearly unappealing. It is raw pandering in case nothing else works, and what terrible is that it shows that this dirty trick is working. The few good reviews or audiences that liked the movie overly praise the LGBTQ+ involvement, but little else. Kind of like how that Buzz Lightyear movie did the same thing; only good things I heard were "it's alright" to "LGBTQ+ approved". You cannot, and should not, reward pandering because it convinces the studio to keep doing it without trying for anything else. Don't give me what's trending or popular, make me like the characters.

[@XuHaochengRyanHshs]

Also, I am so surprised you are a small channel, your editing, voice and videos pacing are all so good.

[@SaberKittyZero]

Your explination of how AI can be good is basically explaining why you say ai is bad immediately after. Saying how ai can examine old scripts and stick to a formula that works, then going on about how it it is rehashing old ideas. You said the same thing twice but only with one sentence being positive in tone and the follow up being negative. AI can't be creative and unique, it can only look at what existed and remake that.

[@austinreed7343]

A good chunk of Wish’s flaws are also in Strange World.

[@n0N4M3-br2tp]

10:27 What does everybody have against nuclear energy? I just don't understand. Did they like, sleep on physics class? I know that not everyone likes physics but like, bro this is common knowledge. So to recap your missed classes: nuclear fission is an exothermic reaction. Heat from that reaction is used to boil water and generate steam. The steam then travels to a turbine. Rotation of the turbine generates energy. The "smoke" coming out of the coolant towers is water vapor. Did like the people at Disney not learned about the matter they are putting into a movie? And i ain't only talking about Disney, i am talking about all antinuclear protestants, or however they liked to be called. #nuclearenergyiscleanenergy

[@OpticalSorcerer]

It's ironic; for all their shortcomings, "Raya" and "Wish" had potential with their concepts. But with "Strange World," there's no deleted/alternate route or storytelling aspect that justifies this film being made.

[@ironencepersonal9634]

I am going to be completely honest here, I don't think it's AI just because I genuinely think AI would have done better

[@netherwalker1762]

I cannot agree with your argument that the giant turtle is plagiarism. I was using that as a world in my own drawings long before I'd heard the name Terry Pratchett as first off and most importantly it is in reference to ancient greek myth and philosophy and secondly in not a rare thing to see in fiction as a whole. Aladdin and the King of Thieves anyone? Avatar: The Last Air Bender? There were even large sea turtles in real life! Nowhere near the scale of one holding an entire world, continent, or even city on its back, but certainly large enough to give anyone who found its remains some interesting ideas.

[@mcstrategist]

[@CHAOTICGAMER570]

Strange World has the best twist villain and it's a plant

[@benceszarvas5464]

Strange World is about being acceptance of who you are and find your way where you good at.....if you are not the white father figure here because then you are totally outnumbered. You want adventure in the outside world with your son? Nope,you are a horrible father because your son quits and you didn't follow him. Follow your dream is not allowed for him and must feel guilty about everything. Doesn't matter if the town built him a statue,he must suffer. That's the problem with this movie for me not the filler gay romance. That was only about 5 minutes but this son-father relationship is all there through the whole movie and it's so one sided that it hurts.

[@Lemon-tc3pr]

Honestly that first trailer where the kid says that the dad is assuming they will follow in there footsteps made me question the writing in the script and it felt like ai just based on the trailer or off in some way at least
