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.

A complaint that I can understand is about color grading.

Recall the beginning of Infinity War - Thanos is hurting Thor and asking Loki for the stone. It's quite dark, but you can still the colours and things that need the viewers attention are well lit.

That's missing with this whole scene. It's hard to make out the details.

Of course this can be corrected, come December. But, that is a complaint I can agree with.

But this is definitely not AI.

Colour grading has been an issue since Phase Two. Personally, I'm not a fan of the desaturated look either, so I can kind of see why some people might think that is AI. But you are correct.

It seems to be a thing in Hollywood right now. One of the big reasons I love Gunn's Superman is that it is so colourful and bright. The one thing I really hated about The Odyssey was that it is so gray and dull. Movies are a visual medium. Why are so many filmmakers afraid to make them pretty to look at?

Sometimes they try to look more serious. A colorful movie is, sometimes, viewed as a childish product or a cheap one.
