Movies need less CGI OR more CGI

Either go back to practical effects or make fully animated movies

I think studios have forgotten that the appeal of action movies in the first place was seeing actual people, even if they were stunt performers, actually DO crazy things

That's why Mission Impossible movies still make bank

@coriander but if the stunts are real then people might have to acknowledge that actors are people who have a job and not just celebrities to write rpf about

@coriander i’m being subtle about it but absolutely do i think the cgi trend is ultimately about alienating workers from the products of their labour, 100%

@Lady It helps that those artists aren't unionized by and large

@coriander yes, and aren’t offered creative freedom

marvel has been demanding that studios create cgi that looks like ai for a decade so that nobody will notice when they make the switch

that's not what those studios would be doing if they had the choice
