![]() Every female face in recent Disney and Pixar movies looks the same. Club. Here’s a conspiracy theory to rival the Kennedy assassination “magic bullet”: Every Disney/Pixar female character in the past decade has the exact same face. Upon realizing that Tangled’s Rapunzel and Frozen’s Anna and Elsa all share a similar look, Tumblr user Alex “wanted to see just how far this face thing went.” And what she discovered is that while Disney and Pixar men are given a diversity of face shapes, the women all have round faces with small button- like noses. The phenomenon is clearly illustrated in this image for Pixar’s upcoming film Inside Out, which features three female characters and two male ones. While at first glance the women might look quite different, Alex traced their face shapes to demonstrate just how similar they actually are. After that she pulled images of male and female characters from the likes of Up, Wreck It Ralph, Brave, The Incredibles, and several other recent Disney and Pixar films. While these results are rather shocking, there are a couple of factors at play here. This is not a fully comprehensive list of Disney/Pixar female characters—for instance Colette from Ratatouille may share the round face shape of her animated sisters, but she has a larger nose than the rest. The Incredibles’ Edna Mode also has a less generic face. In general, supporting animated characters are more likely to look distinctive than protagonists. The problem is that Disney/Pixar films—even the ones with female leads—almost always populate their supporting casts with men (1. Pixar films fail the Bechdel test; Anna and Elsa are essentially the only two women in the entirety of Frozen). That means there are fewer opportunities for animators to create goofy looking female supporting characters. However, even just comparing the male and female protagonists is revealing. The male leads of Up, Frozen, Ratatouille, Wreck It Ralph, and The Incredibles have a great diversity of face shapes that aren’t necessarily “traditionally” attractive. Female leads, however, almost all fit the same princess- inspired mold. These findings come on the heels of a bizarre quote from Frozen’s head of animation Lino Di. Salvo about the fact that it’s harder to animate female characters because “you have to keep them pretty and they’re very sensitive.”The other question is: Is it inherently bad that characters have similar faces? If the answer is “no,” then why are Disney and Pixar so intent on diversifying male face shapes? It’s ultimately not the lack of different faces that’s troubling, it’s the fact that the trend is so clearly applied to one gender and not the other, especially when one factors in the limiting beauty standards already imposed on women. While everyone is welcome to draw their own conclusions from Alex’s data, she sums up her work thusly: Apparently every Disney woman is a clone/direct descendant of some primordial creature with huge round cheeks and a disturbingly small nose, because there is no other explanation (yes there is (it’s lazy sexism)) for the incredible lack of diversity among these female faces.

He bears a distinct and intentional resemblance to a Greek God. In previous 2. D Street Fighter games, details such as Sagat's eye- patch would switch sides depending on which way the character was facing. Originally, Gill was to be colored black and white, and utilize powers over light and darkness. It was later decided to color him red and blue, to better show off the game's graphical power. The black and white palette is used as a secondary color. Additionally, Gill was designed wearing a loin cloth to show off as much of his red and blue hues as possible. In 3rd Strike, a special glow has been programmed to constantly render his sprite in both positive and negative coloration, further showing off the CPS- 3 board's impressive graphical power. He is then known as, Omega Gill. In 3rd Strike, he wears a light brown and red hooded long cloak with a long blue green robe and matching brown sandals. His personality comes from various Judeo- Christian sources. Gill's name might come from the Hebrew Gilead, meaning . It is also a common Sikh name. In that respect, Urien, his jealous brother, can be compared to Judas Iscariot; Urien's nickname in the Japanese Street Fighter III manual even refers to Judas. Gill's Resurrection technique may also be based on Jesus' resurrection from the dead, and the posture Gill assumes during this technique, suspended in the air with his arms outward, evokes the image of Christ during crucifixion. Gill's Seraphic Wing technique refers to seraphim, the six- winged, highest order of angels in Jewish and Christian beliefs; when Gill performs Seraphic Wing, he takes on the six- winged angelic form, . Finally, in Gill's 3rd Strike ending, he parts the ocean and leads his people to the promised land, likening him to Moses. Ragnarok Winners), his role as a villainous savior, and his pure martial arts fighting style, also has him draws similarity to the antagonist Dhaos of the Namco Super Nintendo RPG flagship title Tales of Phantasia. Worldly, majestic, impressive, and charismatic in his pursuits, Gill is not without flaws however, being haughty, arrogant, disdainful, manipulative, and even outright draconic and elitist at worst, with his cult using immoral ways such as kidnapping, coercion, DNA manipulation, brainwashing, and extreme force in a similar way to Shadaloo in order to select their chosen people, and they have been behind a majority of the world's events and criminal organizations to attain their ends. Gill is also not above murdering innocent people to compete his ultimate ambition. At the end of A Shadow Falls, she is shocked and honored that despite her failure to satisfy the ancient prophecy with her Nash project, Gill still wishes for her to serve at his side. Ryu finds Gill to be no better than Bison due to his actions and the lengths he has gone to achieve them. Akuma killed Gill with the Raging Demon, but left without realizing that Gill could resurrect himself. Supplementary material notes that, unlike the other candidates for the leadership of the Illuminati, who are kidnapped and brainwashed into doing their bidding, Gill and his younger brother Urien were born to parents who were long time members of the cult. Both their parents are said to have been candidates to the presidency of the cult; being holders of Ph. D(s) in their respective fields. It is noted that their mother, an olympic level athlete and a doctorate in Sports Dynamics was especially a favourite to become the President. Gill became the top student out of the hundreds of enhanced warriors involved, surpassing even his own jealous brother, Urien. Therefore, at the age of 2. Gill was appointed President of the Illuminati. Urien was overlooked due to his emotional instability, and appointed vice president under Gill. Later, Urien challenged Gill for the presidency of the Illuminati and succeeded. Urien then became the president of the Illuminati. However, Gill was not demoted - in fact, he was promoted out of the title of president and became the new Emperor and messiah. Helen, who is actually his secretary Kolin, informs him about Shadaloo's destruction and M. Bison's defeat at the hands of Ryu. Gill states that despite a different ending, he knows of his own plans and starts to go somewhere. When the organization came into possession of a certain Jaguar automobile from the father of a British heavyweight boxing champion known as Dudley, Gill himself was challenged by the pugilist in order to have the automotive heirloom returned. Gill, being respectful of powerful fighting ability, agreed to return the precious car, as its worth was insignificant compared to the coffers of his organization. Unbeknownst to him, Tom's disciple and ward, Alex, distraught and angered, had entered the Third World Warrior Tournament to exact revenge on Gill for what he had done to Tom. These experiments resulted in the creation of the super soldiers known as Necro and Twelve, enhanced beings designed to carry out the bidding of the Illuminati (though Necro went rogue). This project also led to the abduction of a young girl who was under the care of the ICPO agent Chun- Li. During this tournament, Ibuki was tasked by her clan to retrieve the G- Project files. Fortunately for her, Gill gave up the files voluntarily; the project was already underway at the time, meaning that the files would no longer be needed. Though Alex had won the tournament, he refused to outright kill Gill. Since then, Gill has noticed something special about Alex, particularly something that would help a great part in preparing for the upcoming apocalypse. This is the second time that Gill has appeared, but the first time he appears during the Street Fighter III storyline, later on, he is given a picture of Alex, and beings to grow inresting by him, as his Island was found by Tom, he kidnapped him, knowing that this will draw Alex out. Gill wins the match very easily, telling his brother that ruling over the Illuminati is not about being served by the world, but by guiding people from the old world to the new one, at somepoint, his company works in the shadows and begins to rule over evenything by teaming up with Shadaloo, taking control of everything such as the United States Army, Delta Red and even Interpol. Bison, was able to bring Ryu for a meeting (although Ryu seemed to handle Urien quite well, he was distracted by Sakura put in danger by Twelve). At the end of Hyper Fighting, Urien and Twelve/M. Bison, accompanied by Juri (who pretended to betray Seth to get closer to M. Bison, not knowing it was Twelve), are watching Illuminati henchmen transporting a frozen Ryu. Sakura also arrives, corrupted by the Satsui no Hado (because she wasn't strong enough to protect Ryu, she became infuriated and filled with rage, and Akuma manipulated her further). As Juri is fighting Guile, who arrived in extremis with Alex, Dan tries to stop Sakura, who throws him against Ryu, breaking his ice- prison. As Sakura is about to execute Twelve/Bison, Ryu emerges and shouts to stop her. Although he is still more skilled than his fan, Ryu cannot convince her to let go of this power, and decides to absorb the Satsui no Hado from her in his own body. Struggling to control this power, he asks Sakura and Dan to kill him while he is consumed by it. Twelve starts attacking Guile and Juri then flees. Urien and Alex are also fighting, and Urien says that mankind will soon be used to Twelve's kin. An infuriated Evil Ryu emerges, while Akuma unleashes his all power to become Oni. Guile, Alex, Dan, Sakura are impressed by the power, while Urien belittles them, stating that they don't know what power really is, and that with all that ki acting as a beacon, . Oni throws a powerful projectile at Gill, but Gill counter calmly with an even more powerful icy sphere that freezes him. Then Gill parries every attack from Evil Ryu, single- handedly, smiling and benevolently saying that destruction is a means of transition, and not an end, that violence is a false idol. Gill almost knocks Evil Ryu down with several attacks, while Evil Ryu can't parry any of them. Oni emerges from his ice- prison and attacks Gill again. Gill then throws one fireball at Oni and one icy- sphere at Evil- Ryu, and knocks them down. Oni has become Akuma again, and Evil Ryu has become Ryu again. Ryu calms down, Alex tries to attacks him as Gill told him that he has been somewhat intriested in meeting him (knowing that they are a part of the same family line), after he was defeated by Gill, Akuma (angry from depowering him) savagely rushes towards Gill, who raises in the air, lifted by six seraphic wings, in a beam of light so strong that Akuma is knocked down once again. Urien's helicopter and Gill fly away, while Akuma is swearing Gill will pay for the loss of his demonic body. Guy, Cody, Chun- Li and Guile (who don't believe that he is a hero) came to the tournment as well to find out what he was realling planing, Ryu and Alex were able to make their way to him, Gill's henchmen had a project that was very similer to the desine that Shadaloo's weapons factory was working on that was almost ready for him to change the world in his own image. Gill was then fought by Ryu, would told him that the new age of the socality must come to a close, Alex begin to overcome Gill's control over his body and mind, and was able to break free of Gill's control as his body returns back to its normal color. Bison's Capcom Fighting Evolution ending, where Bison is seen fighting and defeating him with Balrog, Vega, Sagat and the twelve Dolls watching. However, as M. Bison and his followers leave on the Shadaloo plane, Gill resurrects himself, looking completely unscathed from the recent fight. He also has several other powers at his disposal, also mentioned above.
