(I take this as CGI being of course present, but taking a backseat to support the practical effects)

I'm completely disillusioned and over statements like these ever since this magnificent debunk of such hollow marketing statements.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Amazing series, well worth it. I don't trust the "it's all practical" headlines anymore.

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Cool. Give the writers freedom with their craft and I'll give it a chance.

Wandavision spoilers

Tap for spoilerI’m a little confused how Wandavision’s twist villain got her own show. We only truly got to know her real character for, what, 2 episodes?

Was she really that popular and I missed the excitement? Is her character really popular in the comics? Is she important for some possible future major MCU event? Or is Disney taking a shot in the dark?

I don’t intend to sound pessimistic, I’m just confused is all. The show could wind up good.

It was covid, there had been nothing new for ages, and then Agatha had her beloved twist and song.

Yes, she was popular, and I was curious to see where it would lead.

Given that the Loki show led us to see He Who Remains for the first time, I wonder if there's any shot Agatha leads us to Wanda. (Someone here speculated she is under the control of Doom.)

I don't understand why this would have to be a value at all. Give me a good script, a good story with good actors and as long as the effects aren't horrible I won't care how you did them. Loki or Wandavision have not been filmed in a more artisanal way, It's just that their effects were not done in a crappy way and their stories were good (as were their actors).

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a value to people who like old Hollywood techniques. Sure, it's a technical thing and 95% of the audience won't care what technique was used as long as it looks good. But for film nerds it's interesting that Marvel would actually do away from their usual greenscreen stages and build practical sets and effects.

[–] Foni@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Well okay, I consider myself a "film nerd" but I still don't see what those "old Hollyvood techniques" contribute to the film, that is, the one who enjoys knowing it, great, but I think it adds 0 value to the product, not as an artistic work or as a commercial product.
