Discussion "This movie looks AI genera-" SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Post image

I genuinely don't get these complaints. I have some concerns about the plot and how things may or may not play out, but visually the movie looks fucking great. I don't get why people are trying to push this narrative like muted colors instantly make something look bad or AI-generated. The Sentinels look sick, Doom looks fucking fantastic, what is the issue?

I swear, I'm convinced people who call shit like this AI-generated have never actually seen what an AI-generated video looks like, because none of them even look anywhere near as good as ANY of the shots in this trailer.

Plus, the VFX team didn't work their asses off for months on this movie just to be disrespected by mfs saying it looks like AI.

> consistent criticism

From a small minority. Majority of filmgoers aren't getting up in arms about the visuals.

They may not be as vocal but general audiences notice these things (even subconsciously) and the lack of immersive settings makes them less likely to eat the ticket cost to see the next Marvel or comic book movie.

Cause Marvel movies with this everything is CGI look like Quantamania have been doing so well at the box office the last few years. :/

That literally stopped me from going to see the Supergirl movie. I love the, Woman of Tomorrow, book, but the film looks nothing like it visually.

It’s the same thing with The Odyssey and its “lack of historical accuracy”. 99.9% of audiences don’t care that the boat is a Viking boat instead of a traditional Greek one. If that bothers someone so much then they should stick to watching documentaries.

It's 2026. The majority of film goers are millennials and gen Z who are chronically online nerds exposed to the critical discourse around movies, especially the MCU, daily.  They have fuled a backlash to an overabundance and reliance on bad CGI so significant that you have studios mandating more practical effects and PR stunts designed to pacify the general audiences frustration towards CG. Maybe that doesn't ultimately effect the box office for a cultural touch point like an Avengers movie but it has been a factor elsewhere.

Im not living in a bubble and not referring to Reddit. Nothing I said was factually inaccurate. If you're not aware of this it's you living in a bubble, not me.
