With the Help of AI, This Artist Reimagined 40+ Pop Culture Characters as Adorable Babies
Scooby-Doo
Let’s get things started with a character that takes us back to our childhood. Does anyone remember the 1988 show, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo? in which we actually got to see Scooby as a puppy? Or the 2020 film Scoob!, in which we got another glimpse of young Scooby?
Well, Welsh’s AI interpretation of young Scooby-Doo strikes a pretty accurate comparison to what puppy Scooby was said to look like. Intrigued to see what the rest of the Mystery Incorporated gang looks like? Keep reading; we’ll get to them soon!
Wednesday Addams
With the 2022 release of Wednesday, all of our obsessions with Wednesday Addams and the Addams family lore were reignited. We got to see Wednesday grow up through the years but never saw how she was as a baby.
To us, it makes perfect sense that this Addams family member was decked out in full black with a slightly demeaning pose. Now that’s a baby you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of! All she needs is Thing, and she’s good to go!
Hulk
Who would’ve thought they’d be seeing Marvel’s strongest and toughest superhero as a baby? Not us! We mean, talk about the terrible twos, right?! Hulk is one of the most beloved Marvel superheroes – despite his bursts of anger and lashing out.
Some commenters argued that it’s pretty weird seeing the Hulk as a child, and we couldn’t agree more. Keep reading to see how odd it is to see superheroes as babies, especially when they’re dressed up in uniforms and disguises.
Hawkeye
Despite being reimagined as a baby, Hawkeye’s characteristic frown is still dominant. It’s clearly a key character trait. With a bow and arrow already in hand, this little superhero looks ready to fight.
If you look up what Jeremey Renner – who portrays Hawkeye – looked like as a baby, you’ll be surprised at how accurate these facial features are. On another note, those wrinkles are a sure sign of a stressed-out baby!
In the ever-growing world of AI, it comes as no surprise that you’re reading this post. Who wouldn’t want to see how adorable our favorite pop culture characters would look as babies? AI may have some negative backlash, but there’s a lot of work that goes into making these wonderful images. Talented AI artist Topher Welsh has dedicated his platform to sharing how AI can be used in the most wholesome way. Plus, keep an eye out for AI’s hilarious interpretation of what fingers and toes look like!
