AD THREE: Intermarché Christmas ad (2025) Just like the other two this ad is a combination of hand made elements and CGi elements. Another common element.

Oh, and while funny, Vox's death was pretty brutal. Ouch!

I tried to be as vague as I could. Please excuse me if anything is a little too spoilery.

And without spoiling much, we also received an explanation for one of Vox's biggest design elements.
Poor guy, such a significant feature being so closely connected to his death. At least Alastor's gunshot cross is subtle.

I guess there haven't been many major character deaths to compare to, but still, it's beautiful.
Vox's death was *extra* ironic, but they both were a bit.

That's a lot of damage, and as the article goes on to mention, this was just a *test*, and it would be truly detrimental on a larger, industrial scale.

A lot of misinfo here.
That picture is of a goosefish, not a wobbegong. They're classed under ray-finned fish, or Actinopterygii. They live in deep water and aren't a threat to humans
The wobbegong is a species of carpet shark. They prey in shallows and are potentially dangerous to divers.

Basically, the name and cladistics are incorrect, instead belonging to another species, but the descriptions of their appearance and hunting technique are correct.

This post is partially false as it does not depict a wobbegong - a separate species and indeed a shark. However, this *is* a goosefish, which is related to the anglerfish.
