this has probably been said many times but I can't stress it enough. What makes Bill Skarsgård’s take so unsettling is how animalistic it is underneath the clown mask. Tim Curry’s Pennywise leaned theatrical and mischievous and maybe even wicked. Skarsgård’s version feels like a predator wearing a human/performing human. Skarsgård’s version treats the personality as bait, and when he drops the act, it’s a predator that doesn’t just want your fear, it wants you. They'll come is so terrifying it makes pennywise mocking and teasing and luring feel like Mercy. The Adrian scene in chapter 2 is my favorite scene of pennywise, ever. At this point he's not joking, mocking, teasing, he's not even trying to strike fear into him, he's just a predator in human form. And his mandibles clicking were the cherry on top, it added that primal animalistic inhumane vibe, it reminds you that there is something deeper, that what you can physically see is not "It" it's wearing something. My second favorite scene is when pennywise sliced Stan Kersh's upper head off. And then ate it, it felt so incredibly unfiltered because I haven't seen anything like it in media. You could literally see the inside of his head, and to see something seemingly human bite into it without cutting the camera or anything is so appealing in a good way. My favorite version of pennywise is definitely the flute lady, just that one scene of her doing..."something" to stan is so amazing. Everything he does feels like a facade, whether it's mocking or teasing, or trying to strike fear into his victims, each time he does that it feels like it's leading towards something, it feels like lure. Which is him letting go, not "acting" human anymore, and truly being a monster, predator, and something unknowable. And the films put it in a way that especially tells you that this is him truly, it strips away him joking, him performing, to him being a pure predator wearing a human. I don't know if people realize how bad of a TV show IT welcome to Derry could have been in comparison to so many movies & TV shows out at the time, in the flood of bad movies, bad TV shows. It, Welcome to Derry came out.

Carnage's screams & roars in Venom 2 should have steered/aligned his character if that makes sense.

His voice sounds amazing, his screams are as well, but honestly did not really fit his voice, and his voice does not fit his character. I've seen a lot of people say that his voice should have been more high-pitched, and that's what his screams and roars are like; a lot more high-pitched than his voice. I'll put it this way:

His roars fit his comic design more than his movie design and deeper voice they chose; they weren't cohesive.

Now for me personally, if anything his character design fit aligns with his roars more than his voice, is design has some levels of sharper lankiness to it but that's pretty much it.

The Horror aspect of Venom. I especially like the first image, so incredibly much because it portrays him as more of a dark entity, the embodiment of darkness instead of some comedic sidekick; He's seen as a curse.

Instead of funny venom moments, or the comedic more human side of venom, I want to see a dreadful, terrifying Venom. I want him to be seen as more as a "being" then being humanized. I want movies to tap into that 80 billion light-years of Hive knowledge across universes. Venom as a character has so much potential to be absolutely transcendent, terrifying, seemingly unstoppable.

you have to keep in mind that venom is an alien, he's a literal monster he should embody that, hes not limited to a single form and that should be hinted at.

For the second image, I love to see it included in a movie, and if done right it can make the audience feel immense dread even before it's revealed it's venom. SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!

Every single one was thought of and generated by me. This was so incredibly fun

Tip: just ramble, I added whatever I could think of that was interesting in my head, just try and say every single detail, for the first megalodon one I even added that the horizon was barely seen due to it being a lower-angled shot. I even added that the water is moving backwards visibly showing that the megalodon is moving forward.

Be as specific as you want

Prompt structure:

YOUR IDEA, early-2000s digital camera, 2003 camcorder, extremely low resolution, heavy JPEG compression, visible noisy grain and sensor noise, motion blur, soft focus, harsh overhead lighting, green/yellow indoor color cast, blown highlights crushed shadows, candid awkward framing, eerie nostalgic liminal atmosphere.

Kung Fu Panda 4 wasn't bad at all, maybe for many different perspectives (usually adults), but in comparison to the previous movies, yeah, it sort of is. It really falls short, and of course, the story. I feel like the combat is good. I think it's just the context of the combat.

does not live up to the previous movies, along with something that I haven't heard anybody talk about, is the art style. The earlier CGI was, of course, early. They had some type of grit to them, they felt sharp and dynamic. (Kung Fu Panda trilogy, Megamind, Hotel Transylvania) But the new CGI...Kung Fu Panda 4 Despicable Me 4. Of course, great lighting. I love good cinematography in literally anything, but to an extent, it looks really cartoony. It looks like the previous movies, just bumped up with higher realism, but now with a family-friendly look.

I feel like instead of that they could've gave it a was sharper look, make it different to other peers that look the same.

Let me end off with saying this, chameleon could have been terrifying, really think of the idea not the movie. A final villain that can literally mimic the ones of past villains, the definitive villain. It sounds terrifying. But there were a lot of elements that made it fall short.

on the internet people misuse the word liminal for internet aestheticization, ignoring the true meaning of it. some people reference playplaces & playgrounds, and maybe even bedroom shots like the Subliminal bedroom level. They all do emit a coherent vibe/feeling/aesthetic, but the word for it is not liminal, liminal is a state of being on a threshold, or "betwixt and between" two stages, places, or conditions. and playplaces and a bedroom are not that. People call The Backrooms Level 0 "liminal" but it is not that. with many images labeled under liminal, they're usually nostalgic, but that doesn't apply to every single one because I don't know about you but I don't find Level 0 Nostalgic. The only unspecific word I can find is empty, obviously, but is there a word the most perfectly encapsulates the feeling one may get to the images?

if not, In your opinion, make a new word and it's meaning.

I feel like a lot of these posts in the subreddit aren't Liminal

For the horror lovers, what is this aesthetic. It's betrayed as something cursed, something that belongs to the deep web instead of something mainstream or surface level like cliche horror, it's betrayed as something genuinely real and very Hidden, unknown, Disturbing, Anonymous, lost media, something that holds a virus and is the epitome of Encrypted. Something that feels more without reason or assumption, like when you see a scary image of a cliche dark humanoid figure you know that that's someone human deliberately trying to be scary. It's like lost media, something not meant to be found or seen. Usually best in another language, along with extremely low quality, it's portrayed as something that wasn't made by a human, something almost procedural? Just made without reason or context; a force of nature, corruption. Strangely reminds me of little nightmares, places that are so secluded and mysterious, and dark. You know those icebergs, it's either on the bottom or so incredibly low it's unseen, it's like definitively the darkest corner of the internet. These images aren't even perfectly when I'm trying to describe, they're just what I found.
