"I think The Creator is an allegory for everything being so contentious in our world today. It’s less about the fear of AI and more about somebody who may not look just like you. They may have different ideas, but they still have emotions and thoughts, and they want to take care of their families. Of course, there’s this fun design and tech and sci-fi, but the bigger idea has to do with how to get along with your fellow man, woman, or entity — whatever form that may take. - Production Designer James Clyne
THE CREATOR (2023)

Imagine an Android 21 Barbie, though…
Honestly can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner

A little Nick Valentine art WIP sketch as I've been deep in a Fallout mood lately.
Figured I'd start sharing a few things since I've started accumulating lots of WIPs again.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...Time to die."

Sometimes an adaptation is so strong that it eclipses the source material, so any deviations are assumed to be canonical to the original. This is also true for anything that just happened to filter through pop culture, like King Kong or Godzilla. Some examples that I found:
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a mystery! It's from the point of view of a different character who tries to uncover the relationship between the two characters. Every single adaptation is about how they're both the same person affected by a crazy experiment.
King Kong references just focus on the climax where he climbs the Empire State Building, but most of the movie is about going to the island and what they find there. Natives that revere him as a god, dinosaurs and giant snakes are all present.
Moby Dick is maybe 10% about a guy trying to hunt a white whale and the rest of it is a lot of history and philosophy.
Blade Runner feels like it was based on a dream someone had after reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, but without remembering all the details. In the book Deckard is married, owns a machine that helps him experience specific intense emotions, is part of a new age religion based around taking care of animals, has dreams with other people, gets arrested for being a replicant, etc. Every character basically just shares a name, and any events that actually occur in both still end completely differently. There's a scene where Deckard gives a test to someone and finds out they're a replicant. In the movie the creator is pleased because she's a replicant that isn't aware she's a replicant, and she's been passing their tests without being able to pass the police test. In the book they claim she's a human as a way of forcing Deckard to drop the case. It's the exact opposite conclusion.
Blade Runner in particular is the really odd one because it's the only one where the film didn't ruin the book for me. I already know the broad strokes or the important scenes in King Kong, Jekyll and Hyde, Dracula, etc. so there's nothing much there for me to get. Androids is so different from Blade Runner that I had no idea where the story was going to go next and it ended up being a really exciting read for me.
Any piece of media that is adapted and referenced endlessly is probably very, very good and definitely better than the references are so they're worth searching out. If all you know about the Twilight Zone are the Futurama parodies then you are missing out on some prime television.

i watched aliens last night...i've inexplicably decided to watch the predator and alien franchises. at least the "good ones", and i started predator first, so now i've seen prey, predators, and the original predator in that order (yes i know that's backwards) and then more recently i saw alien and then aliens.
thoughts:
prey is hands down my favorite of any of the movies, but i think that's partially cheating because it's the most recent. i think it works on a historical fiction level as well as on an action movie level so that's fun.
alien is a significantly better movie than the original predator but i still think the predator franchise is a lot of fun.
despite thinking alien is a better movie, i found aliens really underwhelming. it's not a bad movie but a lot of people were saying it was as good or better than the og alien and i just don't agree. i guess i feel like in some ways i was less disappointed with predators as both a standalone movie and a sequel even though im not sure it's a better movie. i think predators was better than i expected but aliens was a lot worse than i expected, especially given how good alien is.
