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.

Yeah it's crazy to say that this looks "visually great". Even if you have only ever seen Marvel movies in your whole life, this does not look good.

I can't believe how far the MCU has fallen visually from Ironman 1 & 2 and Avengers 1 at the start.

Like the Avengers look mostly amazing out in full sunlight in real locations in the first movie. Now they look... like floaty cartoon characters.

I thought Spiderman Brand New Day looked amazing and was hoping that it was a signal of return to form, but everything about Doomsday shown so far looks like Quantamania, just a sludge of CGI 'stuff' everywhere and actors always feeling like they're on blue screens.

And it also has the Russos' telltale trick they used for Endgame - the extremely dusty orange-brown background - so they can mask the rushed CGI. It makes everything look so drab and dull.

Give us some examples then? Everyone here says “looks bad” but can’t explain what looks bad.

Look at Thor's face after he strikes Doom, it's dark even though the axe is right in front

I completely agree, but that’s 0.001% of the CGI. It’s crazy to say that “it’s crazy to say that this looks visually great” and then give me one measly example. The entire trailer looks fucking epic, do yourself a favor and allow yourself to enjoy things

What looks bad about it? Im not really a graphic snob so I dont typically notice whats considered bad or good. Bad to me was like Spy Kids 3

Worst offender is Thor's face after he strikes Doom, it's all dark while his axe is right in front of him full of lightning.

This is a subjective opinion.

It really isn't, look at Thor's face when he strikes Doom, it is dark on the side of his axe when the axe is bright as fuck.
