A Record-Breaking 13 Different Visual F/X Studios Worked on Thor: Love & Thunder
With Taika Waititi’s epic Viking love story, Thor Love & Thunder set to impress us on July 8th, it’s important to note just how mighty an undertaking this fantasy epic is from a Visual Effects perspective. Even for a Marvel Picture, Love & Thunder set the Phase Four and MCU record for the number of Special Effects studios involved. Eclipsing Odinson’s previous outing Thor Ragnarok by two, as well…

major props to christopher eccleston for acting out the lines "i couldn't save your world. i couldn't save any of them" with such subtle and layered emotions while also struggling against mannequin people trying to throw him into a pit of lava (he is very clearly standing on a styrofoam pad lit by LED lights)

I’ve seen some weird things on dw and I like the goofy but pray tell me what was this!!??
Good to know that even with a budget that can afford CGI and after meticulously crafting beautiful robots and spaceships the doctor who design team will just throw in something so unhinged and bad like this for old times sake

Remember this Czech movie I talked about before? With the weird-cool-looking Wolf puppet? Well it seems I found the concept art for it... Well a concept art for the puppet - the other is I believe an illustration for the book adaptation of the movie (because yes, the movie got adapted as an illustrated book apparently)
It comes from this blogpost.
As for the illustrated book adaptation here are two pictures linked to it:

The werewolf form of Uncle Ted in Eric Red's Bad Moon (1996) was designed by Steve Johnson's XFX Inc.
Johnson's inspiration for the werewolf's design came from Warren Publishing's magazines such as Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella; according to Johnson, one story had a werewolf which was 'human in its lower body, waist down, but its upper body was wolf-like. Johnson doesn't specify the cover in question.
The head animatronic was designed and sculpted by Bill Corso, who emphasized the wolfish aspect rather than previous werewolf designs - the werewolf suit was so wolf-like that it intimidated most of the german shepard attack dogs used in filming, making them unwilling to attack the werewolf performer!

I know you haven't posted a profile leader of the isekai girls' clan yet, and if you don't have all the details for them ironed out yet (besides Honeypaw and Frostblaze both being the leaders kits) that's all good. But while looking at your latest post about the au, it got me thinking: how do you think the leader feels about 'Honeypaw''s sudden personality change, unnatural (because they're human moves) new fighting style, and tendency to walk on her hind legs? Because I'd imagine even if they weren't particularly close before Honey replaced her, it'd definitely be eyebrow raising to someone who knew her beforehand.
i'll definitely be putting the parents on my to-do list since I have thought of them, mainly because my inspiration is a mix of things that made go oooh yes or pissed me off so badly i stole them JUST to tear them apart in this lol
Honeypaw's relationship with her father, Owlstar, is strained. His relationship with her mother is purely political: he wants an heir, she wanted to join their Clan. In the books (from Frostblaze's perspective), he's written as an aloof but noble cat who can be stern but only because he cares. In the "real" world of the book...he's a standoffish, absent father who cares little about Honeypaw (due to her lack of resemblance to him) and often speaks of his disappointment (despite him having little presence in her life to guide her).
When the real Honeypaw is killed, he is sad and he does grieve...but doesn't stay for the ceremony. When she does come, he's happy! He welcomes her, nuzzles her in greeting, and visits her in the medic's den as she recovers...but it's also stilted, awkward, and suffocating for them both. He says very little and sometimes scolds her for her recklessness (and while in the book this is passed off as him "caring but struggling show it", in practice...it just comes off as apathy to Honey & Honeypaw).
I'd imagine her first few moons of weirdness is him passing it off as a cry for attention until it continues...and not only does she no longer seek his approval, she actively avoids him. Honey would realize his and Honeypaw's relationship is strained pretty early on and, to keep Honeypaw from being in a bad mood and also to avoid having her own father scold her (her body more than her soul), basically stays out of his way.
I can't imagine he'd investigate too much, he's more preoccupied with his successful heir (even if he can't reveal her yet). It's only when Honeypaw continues to poke around, find out more secrets than she's supposed to that he begins to really question what's going on.
Honeypaw's mother, Beesnap, is also different than in her story form. In the book, she's written as a volatile, self-absorbed mother who defends Honeypaw with her fierce temper no matter what her daughter does. When Honey actually meets her? Beesnap is a rogue-born she-cat and her status as truly a member of the Clan is always being questioned. As a result of being isolated and demeaned, she put on a facade of confidence and snootiness, intent on not letting them get to her. When Honeykit was born, her only daughter, she vowed to make sure her child had a better life in the Clan than she'd be given - resulting in her fierce outbursts to defend her child. Owlstar is absent in Honeypaw's life and that only made Beesnap more focused on protecting her.
Beesnap knows something's going on with her kid but doesn't confront her for some reason. She becomes a cat that Honey goes to advice to often when Splashpaw is busy. Eventually I think Honey does try to reveal the truth...but Beesnap probably doesn't take the fact that her beloved daughter's been body snatched very well.
Her unnatural behavior does freak them both out, Beesnap keeps having to whisper for her daughter to stOP WALKING LIKE THAT EVERYONE IS STARING AT YOU-
ty for asking!! i kind of went off topic but your question got me thinking so i ended up rambling lol both of these guys are mainly inspired from how wc and these specific webcomics treat parents and i think that shows
