I watched one of those big trailer videos on youtube where it just shows dozens of trailers for ucoming movies, and it was one of the most depressing things (outside of actually, genuinely horrible shit) I've seen in a while.
Trailer-after-trailer for movies I felt like I'd already seen, more superhero bullshit I don't care about, fucking unlimited particle effects. Never-ending particle effects. Fuckin' fwoosh here's a fucking particle effect, oooh! I just imagine the underpaid CG workers toiling away trying to make shit look nice, and the feedback they get is, "no, we need more fucking particle effects! there aren't enough glowing flecks of shit flying around in that shot!"
When I say particle effects, I'm talking specifically about the swirly GC dust-stuff in way too many movies. It's typically used to depict magical energies and bullshit like that. I think there are some producers who maybe think "particle effects = good special effects", literally just a "look at all that shit" mentality.
Here's an example of too goddamn many particle effects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KdYm_BUZS4
Also that was the most memorable and interesting trailer from the whole compilation I watched, and that shit looks hella lame.

Particle effects? I prefer PRACTICAL effects over CGI if that’s what you are saying.
And yes, Hollywood films are shit. The last time there was a full year with a sold line up was probably in 1999, and that was forever ago
