All Marvel stuff is horribly video gamey. Watching DUNC recently I was thinking about that how it is actually possible to make CGI scenes that actually seem to show some weight and danger to whatever's on screen rather than just zap zap smash through 10 walls like it's nothing

I thought for sure it was a joke tweet. I'm still not 100% convinced

You can at least be convinced by the seething replies.

About once every 3 or 4 months I see a clip of capeshit
And every time it looks even more infantile
How can actual adults seriously watch that shit?
What really fricks me off is that they're soaking up all the VFX talent that could be spent on proper scifi/fantasy. Shit like this actually looks cool as frick but it's wasted on capeshit:

They grow more infantile at the same rate. It's symbiosis

That "Cinematography" is so bad. It's just hideous.

The direction is what gets me. You have whatever this speedster is moving super fast but the punches could barely break drywall. I know most comic spergouts are about speed implications, but the guy should at least be acting like heβs getting hit with fist-sized trucks, whatever that looks like.

It's because CGI literally cannot properly depict any real sense of power. There's never any weight. The area where anime (accursed be thy name) gets it right is they stylise the FRICK out of things so when something is meant to be depicted as fast it actually feels fast. Notice how the sand in the capeshit film is utterly uneffected by what the replies describe as a "supersonic" character. When they punch eachother in marvel its like watching two plastic action figures hit eachother, there's zero impact to the world around them or power. No kinetic energy imparted. Even something as simple as this one fricking kick has more style to it than a decade worth of MCU.

The guy in the CGI clip makes no real attempt too sell the blows. He just flops his torso around, while his lower body doesn't move at all. Good animation and direction uses techniques like smear frames too show how the force of a heavy blow distorts and travels through he body and demonstrate speed, hold and release on impacts and windups too give them more weight, shows the environmental destruction of throws, punches, and footsteps, and of courses uses stylized closeups of exertion or pain too show the effect each action has on the characters.
This has none of that. Just compare it too something like Asuka vs the Eva Series, SSJ2 Goku vs Kid Buu, or for something more modern in addition too OPM, Gogeta vs Broly.

I hate the blurring with CGI. It looks like disconnected garbage.
The Boys had pretty good fight scenes involving super heroes, so there is hope.

Honestly I doubt the real actor is actually in the scene besides the very beginning. The rest is mostly Cgi probably (maybe with real face.

Hah, rdrama.net looks like a place for non-functional NPC seething about how superior the right is. God, I couldn't give a frick about r-slurred leftist drama, I could only imagine what kind of cretin would dedicate time or effort to right wing "drama". What fricking losers, LOL.

crazy every time I see a clip there are more and more fricking capeshit heroes that I don't know about. Like I know who Hulk is there but I have no idea who the rest are.
I'm happy not knowing as well, thank you

That's one of the biggest issues I have with this shit. Probably the only capeshit hero I like is Spiderman but I try to watch a Spiderman movie and they hide key plot details or storylines inside entire movies for literally-whos. It just made me hate it more rather than want to go watch the other stuff.
