Someday I'll post in full my semi-trolling take that animation should have made all live-action film obsolete decades ago, in much the same way that cinema should have made live theatre obsolete https://twitter.com/loudmouthjulia/status/1264781496688226306 …

It's kind of funny watching people on Twitter accidentally discover the fumetti genre by looking into the other stock photos associated with the Distracted Boyfriend meme and assembling a story around the models' random messing around

(And those photos came from Spain, one of the former centers of the photocomic scene along with France and Italy, hence the name "fumetti")

(My serious take about photocomics is that they're like silent movies and, to an extent, like live theatre, especially old-style big-auditorium live theatre We have distaste for them in the age of "realism" spawned by talkies where exaggerated acting feels like "bad acting")

(In order to tell a story effectively and efficiently using still photographs of real actors, the poses and situations need to be somewhat contrived and the facial expressions somewhat exaggerated and on-the-nose It's a style that both photography and film no longer like)

(This may be why, like other otherwise neglected media -- including possibly silent film -- this medium has found a second life online in porn Lots of people getting off to captioned images or silent GIFs where no one cares about the "realism" as long as it gets the job done)

Related: how much CGI can a movie have before it becomes an animation? CGI is by no means a bad thing, but it does raise the question of why "War for the Planet of the Apes" is considered live action but the rotoscoped "A Scanner Darkly" was classed as animated....

Remember how they had to work in that one flashback showing Smeagol finding the One Ring in LotR so Serkis would be eligible for a Best Supporting nom
