hey Tunes, do you know whats happening in the Miguel tag? I'm too afraid to check it out myself so thought I'll ask you.

essentially the atsv screenplay was released two or so days ago, which you can read in its entirety here, and there has been valid crirtique regarding the language utilised to describe Miguel within said screenplay, including allusions to bloodlust and the screenplay describing him as an animal twice I believe.

#insofar as my own personal thoughts this does really make me concerned that theres a real lack of consciousness to #emphasizing miguel's anger and the nature of his being in that he's half spider as primary tenets to his character #its deeply concerning to me that regardless of whether the authorial intent was more in vein of providing direction to animators #or was an attempt at shorthand for his emotional state to emphasize his threat AS an antagonist #that this kind of language pertaining to a moc wasnt examined more closely and that it wasnt something picked up upon throughout the #creative process (because lbr Lord + Miller + Callaham are notorious for creatively echoloating their way to the final product and even the #screenplay we HAVE has elements which never made it to the film that exists right now)#its concerning that this mindset on part of the creatives (esp in contrast to Spot as others have pointed out who doesnt contain the same #kinds of language descriptors) that this is something that appears to have been integrated carelessly and without consideration as to just.#the implications of always referring to a moc within bestial terms and characterising his emotions as such. and i think thats something #which is important to point out and criticise as part of the authorial intent (which is what i read the screenplay AS yknow)#but yeah tldr theres been a lot of issue taken with the language used there and i think its a very warranted point to make critique of #and its one i personally hope the creatives HEAR and reflect on. because theyve shown they can do so in regards to characters like Peni or #elements like getting the texture of Miles' hair wrong at first #ask games #anon
