Mondomonger was a deepfake colosseum. Here, using neural-render engines and voice-cloning lattices, any fan could insert any actor into any role, past or present. The rules were simple: no commercial use, no harassment, and every creation had to be watermarked with a shimmering "M" for Mondomonger. But the unwritten rule? Make it unforgettable.
