      My first and biggest thought is there's a lot of ppl saying "They just showed it to the wrong guy" but Miyazaki loves to work w grotesques https://twitter.com/somebadideas/status/807141424030486530 …

      Spirited Away for instance is absolutely filled with "creepy" character designs and "monster" antagonists

      But the arc of the story is that every "monster" - the spider dude, the "stink god", the No-Face, Yubaba and her giant baby - is a person

      It's not as simple as them all getting "redemption" - some bad people are just all bad people - but they all have a subjective POV

      They all have desires, emotions, an agenda, they all are capable of pleasure and pain

      This otoh is a *true* monster - it looks human but has literally nothing human about it even on the meta level, is generated by an algorithm

      It's deeply anathema to Miyazaki's aesthetic, his ethos of storytelling, hell, his morals

      It's the ethos of the zombie movie - they LOOK human but it's a lie, they're fooling you, they're just mindless automatic machines

      And the ethos of the zombie movie is that if true monsters like that exist you must put aside your empathy and shoot them in the head

      Whatever you think of that ethos it runs counter to all of Miyazaki's work

      And indeed Miyazaki is largely motivated by challenging our idea of "monsters", of our revulsion at the "inhuman"

          Because he is aware of how easy it is when we feel revulsion at the "uncanny valley" irl from the unfamiliar to believe in monsters

          That's the point of his story abt his friend - ppl w serious disabilities trigger the wrong mirror neurons. They "creep ppl out"
