What's crazy about this, at least to me, is that you have in Emily Blunt one of the best at using and changing her voice in her acting. I always think of her and Tom Hardy as the best in this area. It's like they are voice acting on top of their normal acting. That's a poor way to describe it, but it's the best I can do.
I don't want to take anything away from any other aspect of Emily Blunt's toolkit as an actor. But using AI for any aspect of her voice acting is like trading a Bentley for a fucking Daewoo.
Still never forget how bland those cars looked in the 90s.
The Chevy Spark is uglycute, and a Daewoo in origin. So they tried to gloss up their design game… but made frog cars.
Look up Daewoo Racer. It was a hard sell in my country at a time when Japanese sedans dominated.
And that is a licensed version of the Opel Kadett E, after it was no longer produced in Germany.
The hatchback version of this was sold in Germany with a little facelift, basically all corners were a bit more rounded, but you could still recognize a somewhat familiar shape.
This is now way off thread, but all the proportions look wrong on that car.
Here's a very boxy car where the lines flow together and it aged well (1988):
Oh man, I remember seeing how Bentleys were much nicer than Daewoos too. Has anyone else noticed that?
Imagine what Usain Bolt could do on a Segway
