It’s why I gave up on marvel. I think superhero content is better suited to cartoon format. DC Animation has the best hero content imo.

It is getting heavier and heavier but I don’t think we’ll see CG dialogue scenes or close ups of humans for a long time due to the uncanny valley factor. Fully CG animated films are still heavily stylised to avoid it.

I’m just waiting til the day that a fully AI generated feature film gets released.

I really dislike superhero movies in general, especially this non-stop Marvel/DC stuff, and a primary reason for that is the way they tend to go in and out of live action and animation. There’s an uncanny valley thing that happens in that transition, and you can obviously still tell that large portions of the live action stuff is shot on a greenscreen. It all looks fake as a result. My suspension of disbelief is shattered.

But when a movie like this admits it’s animated, things improve a lot. I watched the first Spiderverse movie the other day with my kid, and I absolutely loved the art style. I had other problems with the movie, but the visual style was not one of them. I wish there were more animated movies targeting older audiences with unique art direction like that.

Probably.

That’s actually a petty definable line between animation and live action, but some action films have enough animation to be considered a mix of the twon in a least some cases.
