M3gan in M3gan (2023)
M3gan is a very fun horror movie from earlier this year seems absurd on the surface — a killer A.I. doll, really? But it’s not really about killer A.I. dolls. It’s about the temptation for parents to farm out the job of caring for their children to various technological temptations, from talking dolls to TV to tablets.
On the surface, M3gan is kind of the most awful of all artificial intelligence movie villains — she poses as a caretaker to insinuate her way into the lives of our children even more effectively than a Cocomelon video.
We should hate her, but… she’s a terrific dancer, and that has to count for something. Wait, are we just falling for her act? She’s one of the most subtly evil A.I. movie villains… at first.
