  • So I’ll try to explain what I can

    • Scissor icon - used to cut part of the image. Also killed the bad guy in this case
    • Bad guy had the copy/paste icons so he just created new versions/clones of himself
    • Bad guy also has the “lasso” icon. This is used to select a random area of the image (the dashed lines creating circles, you can then do different things to just the area selected
    • Checkerboard patterns indicate the “canvas” or what the image sits on. So almost null space
    • Though the slice guy killed a clone, the bad guy caught him in part of a selection and basically moved his legs out from him (when you make a selection, you can do anything you want with it, including moving it somewhere else)
    • Generative fill takes a selected area and kind of repeats it (similar to copy/paste)
    • bad guy keeps selecting different sections of space to kill the people
    • wizard uses a feature called magic wand which usually selects an area of similar colors. The tolerance is how similar it is (great for trying to select the outline of a person on a backdrop for example, it’d be a pain to to it by hand, but if they were in front of a green screen it would select all green colors that are touching, by increasing the tolerance you say “green and anything that’s close to it too”)
    • once he’s selected that massively large area, he proceeds to delete it and everyone/everything in it.


  • On the surface I understand, but as you dig deeper the logistics don’t make a lot of since with the “indiscriminate” part. Let’s say you had two warring factions of almost equal power. How would the snap know to take an equal amount so that there isn’t a massive power shift which could lead to a much more negative outcome. What if there was a single, very influencial person that got snapped. Things like that. His goal was to alieviate suffering but there are so many better ways he could have approached it. It’s possible I’d need to dive into the backstory more to determine what made him choose that specific action.
