@Leucrotta They seem completely opposed to you in a lot of ways, so yeah that tracks.
Stop-motion mythological movies sound pretty cool!
@topaz Here's the fight with the skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts. This is from 1963 and for reference animated at 24 fps.
@Leucrotta Oh, Greek mythology!
*eyes CRT speculatively* I bet I can do shenanigans to make it match a multiple of 24fps, avoid juddering, :3
@Leucrotta stop motion skeletons!! :3
@Leucrotta and I guess the guys had to stand still while they moved the skeletons, too!
@topaz Nope, the skeletons are composited in! They're about 1/6 scale.
@Leucrotta OH!! huh!
@Leucrotta flailing your sword against nothing is nothing new, I see :3
@topaz I should probably NOT link the worst fight choreography I've seen in a movie, where the opponents are kinda randomly slashing and stabbing at points only vaguely near each other.
@Leucrotta *snooort!*
@Leucrotta Yeah, wow. We've never seen live action stop motion combo before.
