mstrox 6,651 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Most of the recent MCU movies have been boring and samey. Most of the recent DC movies have been train wrecks. I think there’s an argument to be had for finding both sides of that coin more watchable than the other, depending on your temperment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 A lot of VFX is worse than it theoretically could be now due to the number of huge effects movies and shows, the limited number of effects studios, the demands of production (including last minute changes), and compressed production schedules. They’re all using the same effects houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I agree and all the production issues that DC and now Marvel have are certainly not helping.

Edmilson 7,466 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 43 minutes ago, Brónach said: they should know what they want beforehand. And that is the problem: they don't. They keep tinkering their productions which inevitably leads to a drop of quality in the visual effects. This part of the Variety article about She-Hulk is very telling: Quote But some internal sources suggest Alonso was a scapegoat and point to the “She-Hulk” VFX issues as a symptom of a deeper rot — namely a lack of oversight on script development. In the original arc of “She-Hulk,” a flashback of star Tatiana Maslany’s transformation into her Hulk character didn’t take place until Episode 8, the penultimate episode. But after Marvel’s brain trust watched footage, it realized the scene needed to happen in the pilot episode so that audiences could see more of the character’s backstory early. That meant that the VFX team was tasked with fixing the mess in postproduction. “The so-called bad VFX we see was because of half-baked scripts,” says one person involved with “She-Hulk.” “That is not Victoria. That is Kevin. And even above Kevin. Those issues should be addressed in preproduction. The timeline is not allowing the Marvel executives to sit with the material.” All the while, Marvel was bleeding money, with a single episode of “She-Hulk” costing some $25 million, dwarfing the budget of a final-season episode of HBO’s “Game of Thrones, ” but without a similar Zeitgeist bang.

Edmilson 7,466 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I watched GOTG 3 last weekend and I thought the score was TERRIBLE. Not just bad but absolutely godawful, to the point it really hurt the movie. Murphy's work on The Suicide Squad wasn't that bad, but Guardians 3 made me feel worried for what the score for Superman will be. Gunn should've stuck with Tyler Bates, who, unlike Murphy, provided a real quality score filled with a lot of emotion for Guardians 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 It's not the songs I'm talking about - they're fine, I guess. It's the John Murphy score, which is absolutely horrendous. Such utterly uninspired and generic melodramatic writing performed with such thin orchestrations that the whole score might as well has been synth. During the "sad" scenes, the score was trying so hard to be epic and dramatic with orchestra (?) and choir (??) and I was like "Am I supposed to be moved with such a generic and by-the-numbers music?". Bates provided Vols 1 and 2 with appropriately emotional scores (especially Vol 2), he would've made Vol. 3 so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this concept is watered down to the point even John Williams returning would not inject any excitement into this. I think we should just accept these things don't feel like events anymore.

Popular Post Edmilson 7,466 Posted December 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2023 The post-credits scene for Aquajoke Aquaman 2 has leaked and spoilers: it's a mind blowing scene that sets up a sprawling Crisis on Infinite Earths four part epic featuring every actor from the DCEU (including Cavill, Affleck, Gadot, Fisher, Momoa and Miller) and from James Gunn's DCU (like the new Superman and the next Batman, who hasn't even been announced yet), plus Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern, Christian Bale's, George Clooney's and Michael Keaton's Batman, Chris O' Donnell and Alicia Silverstone as Robin and Batgirl, Brandon Routh's and Tom Welling's Superman, Halle Berry's Catwoman, Josh Brolin's Jonah Hex, Shaquille O'Neal's Steel, everyone from the CW shows and an AI recreation of Christopher Reeve's Superman. All of that directed by the one and only Martin Scorsese, who after binging literally every Marvel/DC movie ever produced, from the 1940s serials all the way up to The Marvels, overcame his hatred and contempt for the superhero genre. "I was so so wrong. A superhero movie can be as deep and philosophically and thematically complex as any movie from Ozu, Kiarostami, Godard, Antonioni, Fellini and Kurosawa. I feel like my career won't be complete until I direct something at least half as good as Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor: Ragnarok", he said. Nerds on Twitter are having their heads literally blown up! Read the description below: Spoiler Following fan screenings earlier this week, we're hearing that the movie's sole post-credits scene features Orm (Patrick Wilson) eating a burger. He sees a cockroach nearby, picks it up and places it in his burger. He then eats it and smiles, a payoff to a gag from earlier in the story (a glimpse of that scene can be seen below). None of this is overly surprising as Affleck was also cut from The Flash's post-credits scene because DC Studios doesn't want to tease stories which won't be picked up on in the new DCU. Still, we know many of you will be disappointed. We can't 100% confirm this is the stinger quite yet - we'll have full spoiler breakdowns for you soon - but have received the same description from at least a couple of different sources.
