miscellaneous Even the camera man couldn't believe it.
It Was Them: Ben 10 Omniverse:
- Ben Tennyson calls out Swampfire, but transforms into Echo Echo, but the camera still pans as if he was the taller Swampfire for a fraction of a second before going down to Echo Echo's level.
The Nightmare Begins: Invader Zim:
- Dib points out that there's an alien in the classroom, and the camera pans towards the direction he pointed. It started to go back, be he reiterates his point and it pans back to Zim.

The famous Attack on Titan example.
World shattering information is dropped, but it is done so casually that the camera starts following other characters, before coming back to them.

i love that "wait, that can't be right" is a universal rite of passage with this moment. when my friend was showing it to my gf and i, i was like 'wait, rewind that?' and my friend said 'no.' and i had to lock in lmao. later my gf was watching a Patreon reaction series of it and the people had the exact same thing happen where one of them went 'can you rewind it there's no way i heard that' and the other one said 'no, you heard it.' and forced her to lock in lmao.

Can you tell me what you look for when suspecting a bot? I believe you're right but I never have the suspicion myself until someone else says it.

Its just kinda a vibe with how they speak? You notice it more the more bots you find, plus its often only commets it posts and the account is often only a few days old

I myself have been accused of being a bot once or twice and it's maddening lmfao. Hate the damned things. This one from lilblacksmurf_298 is rather generic and nonspecific in a way someone who actually read the post wouldn't be, so yeah I can see it.

It doesn't add to the conversation. It just reiterates what the parent comment is saying in an agreeable way and also telling you how to feel

u/DropoutRedMage 4h ago
For me it's how general their comments are. Like they have no idea what's happening, but are trying to say something anyways.
"100 Percent. Dropping the reveal in the second movie always gives me chills." Like, what reveal? Which movie? Why did it give you chills? Etc.

I lowkey thought Reiner had gone crazy or something, when the real crazy part was that he wasn't lying 💀

It’s the dub version of the scene, but here’s just how casually this was revealed.
Even his dialogue starts fading away to the right.

I restarted the entire episode cause I thought I had missed something while I was grabbing a drink. But no, they just dropped that in the middle of casual dialogue like Riener was asking what was for dinner.

Yzma - The Emperor's New Groove
I think this one fooled all of us including the audience, the camera man and the characters themselves.

One of the best scene of all cinema is the following.
“For the Last time, we did not order a Giant Trampoline”
“You know something Pal, you should’ve said something before I set it up.”

You can’t blame the Stig’s cameraman cousin when he only films fast cars

Some say he films his Shots in 4K while only having a Hand Held Store bought Camera.

Gintama Opening 9 failure in episode 224
Normally in the opening, it ends with the main characters sliding into place and the camera does a zoom out of their face as the say the last few notes of the song. In episode 224, the opening proceeds as normal until the slide, where they accidentally crash into each other but the camera zooms out from the building behind them as if their faces were still there

Cole Miller’s walkout in the UFC.
Cameraman focused on Miller’s cornerman by mistake.

That time when the camera man got fascinated by a cockroach while he was in the middle of broadcasting the Tokyo Olympics live.
