Like people who like these might have a very basic taste in movies, but they are real movies made by real people. Not a collection of gifable moments smashed together by an algorithm and 35 focus groups.

Also the guy's favourite movie is American psycho, I feel like you can't be an American psycho guy and make fun of fight club guys.

    So just like Marvel movies? You not liking something doesn't mean hundreds (or thousands) of man-hours and a ton of creativity didn't go in to it.

      Obviously a hyperbolic statement to emphasize that creative decisions at Marvel and Disney are often overridden by focus groups, algorithms, and the whims of various suits. I'll do better next time and be as literal and humorless as possible.

          They generate the whole movie before shooting using pre-visualization.

          So just like almost any movie? Every movie is storyboarded.

          If all the shots are made by a computer beforehand, what did you direct?

          I'm sure the directors are involved in storyboarding.

              I don't see the difference? Why can't storyboarding be done in CG?

        That's the dumbest thing I've heard. You know the comics they're based on aren't just action scenes and have stories already, right?

        They're not the most amazing movies, but to say they aren't even movies is dumb as fuck.

      Hundered or thousands of man hours I will concede but I'm calling bs on a ton of creativity

          Even for stuff like costumes and effects they've transformed it into an assembly line and tried to cut costs for decades. I imagine so much of the human element has been optimized out of it. They're all obviously very talented, but I imagine constantly getting laid off and finding another studio whose selling point is that they're the lowest bidder isn't going to inspire creativity and passion.

          maybe but if you've seen one special effect you've pretty much seen them all

      I refuse to believe Marvel movies are written by real people.
