Thought Twilight Doll Was Creepy? Wait Until You See Bull's One
Do you still think the doll they chose to portray little Renesmee in Twilight looked off? Well, we’ve got news for you: now, thanks to Bull, it’s not the worst choice for a TV show child ever.
Sometimes, a movie is great, and the CGI is working out, but something feels off. You can’t really put your finger on it: you just sense the disturbance in the Force.
And then, there are cases like these, where you just look at the screen and scream.
In the later Twilight movies, Bella and Edward had a very special child — that of a vampire and a human. It almost destroyed Bella’s body with its insatiable hunger, and when she finally gave birth, we saw what all this suffering was for: an incredibly ugly, uncanny valley-ish, and freaky baby doll that haunted our dreams for weeks.
Throughout the years, this scary-looking doll has been remembered as a gag in the Twilight community and the champion of terrible child dolls in movies — but now, it was finally dethroned by an even uglier example of terrible decision-making on a set.
Enter Bull S5E1, My Corona.
Bull decided to make a strong comeback after Season 4, starting off S5 with a horrifying child doll for no logical reason whatsoever. Instead of singing the songs of horror and disgust, allow us to show you a still from the episode My Corona which made many viewers mildly uncomfortable, to say the least.
It’s about time we as a community start thinking about the damaged psyche of those who are especially exposed to the dread of the uncanny valley effect and kindly ask our moviemakers and showrunners to stop using the most terrifying, inhumane, and creepy-looking children dolls they can get their hand on, don’t you think?
But on a lighter note, at least good old Renesmee met her seventeenth birthday without holding the title of the ugliest-looking doll in the history of cinema, so there’s that. You should always look for the positives, you know? Especially when it allows you to not look at those creepy plastic creatures, duh.
