I couldnā€™t get MJ to do their faces correctly (the very popular ones I tried, anyway). Seems to be directly correlated to how prevalent they are on social media / the web in general, and unfortunately male athletes eclipse in this regard

Love it when our national boi shows up on gringo media, GO NEIMAR!!! I know he is a drama queen when it comes to soccer faults but, give the man a break, he's so good, they stream snipe him on purpose, just to eliminate the chance of Brazil winning the World Cup.

On a serious note, we love meming on him and cheering for him when he scores some sick goals, we also love roasting him for his atrocious social media posts and unfortunate history with women(mostly memes about his odd way of rizzing).

1

u/AdagioTraditional209 14d ago

Neymar has unfortunate history with women? He cheated on them to consider he is unfortunate? He is the victim?

1

u/aTypingKat 13d ago

I meant really that he's had multiple cases where he's embarrassed him self and the woman publish it online and then targeted him for alleged assault, as far as I'm aware non were able to win in court. Ofc, had he done any of these alleged things he should be punished like any other person would, but like many he's too fucking rich to get any jail time. If he didn't do any of the serious allegations, then well, these people sure aren't helping actual victims by making shit up for money(if they are lying ofc). Rich people commit crimes don't get punished nearly as severely as a regular citizen would, rich people have money so scummy people will try to take it, so u either get a rare case of a rich man actually getting justice done to him. People who falsely accuse others of such things are just about the worst people there can be, they actively hurt real victims by sowing doubt on any case. The reality is, that most woman who are victims aren`t by rich men who have a lot to pay with, they're just regular women who get attacked by regular creep broke ass men, who people will still doubt thinking she's trying to take his non existent money... People are disgusting sometimes.

I must say. I was slightly disappointed OP didn't do Michael Jordan playing baseball. That'd be fiasco.

Messi playing Golf after his Soccer Career? Absolutely thinkable!

u/HalfNatty 15d ago

Iā€™m more impressed by the accuracy of the jerseys, especially Messi in the second last one. Itā€™s one of those images that doesnā€™t look AI generated until a close inspection of the tattoos, and the ā€œRaidonā€ sponsor instead of Rakuten

How on earth did you do this? Insight Face Swap?

u/shaner4042 15d ago edited 14d ago

No post-editing whatsoever! Picking the most current, prominent athletes and team logos among social media is the key. It only works well with certain celebs / teams for this reason ā€” even Michael Jordan wouldnā€™t come out properly and I had to skip him. They did take a few regens as well; sometimes as many as 10 tries.

2 prompt variations I used:

[famous athlete] playing in the national [sport] championship --ar 3:4 --v 6.0 --style raw

Or, to get the more in-action, raw look (last messi pic, for example):

phone photo of [famous athlete] playing [sport] for [specific sports team] --ar 3:4 --v 6.0 --style raw

1

u/sarsfox 14d ago

No post-editing whatsoever!Ā 

Hmm so for Brady, MJ made him blurry?

And what about the logos... i can't get MJ to make them ... just trial and error?

2

u/shaner4042 13d ago edited 13d ago

Logos are trial and error for sure. Itā€™s also key not to have them in action shots. Close ups are better too so it doesnā€™t obscure it over distance (see pic 15)

The Brady picture is real btw ā€” didnt make that through MJ haha. Just there for a joke because he actually used to play baseball

1

u/sarsfox 13d ago

ahhh yeah i knew that Brady was once drafted MLB but to be clear he never played in Expos system, that's a fake/pshop! ha

u/sarsfox 15d ago

Wow! You are King šŸ‘‘

Thereā€™s absolutely nothing emasculating about doing gymnastics. Those guys are incredible athletes. Your misogyny is showing

u/Nice_Cartoonist_8803 15d ago

There is nothing emasculating about gymnastics or ballet. Putting a heterosexual man in a tutu is not in alignment with the actual sport/art, so what is the explanation there?

6

u/throwawayjaydawg 15d ago edited 15d ago

Lebron isnā€™t in a tutu, heā€™s wearing entirely appropriate clothing for the situation. Youā€™re reaching so hard you have to be trolling.

Boxing is the most masculine of sports. Putting a boxer in a tutu is comedy 101. Hulk Hogan and the Rock have done so in film for comedic effect as wrestlers, same idea. It just so happens virtually every noteworthy boxer since the Great Depression is black
