    WGA/SAGAFTRA Strike Discussion Thread | SAG Ratifies Contract

    Marvel Studios need to pay their VFX artists better but it’s not just them, it’s Hollywood in general. There is a Neg VFX supervisor that is working on Oppenheimer pissed off at that whole "no CGI shots" bullshit stunt that Nolan pulled off on a Collider interview that is very vocal about this saying that VFX people should unionize and strike. I sincerely hope it happens, it’s a long time coming and I think that there is a lot of stigma with the profession that you ironically don’t see with stunt people. Their work is as vital to Hollywood as the actors and writers. I believe it would be as much impactful as the WGA’s strike, if not more.

     

    They were peddling similar nonsense during the marketing campaign of Top Gun Maverick.

    This is not likely at all 

     

    Movies this year is mostly fine, and many of next year movies is shot already as well 

     

    I’m sure there will be some shifts especially if it lasts long, but the COVID situation is something that literally never happened in Hollywood before and most of the problem was due the fact that there wasn’t theaters opens and people willing to go to them, we can’t expect every crisis to follow that

     

    There are still aspects of post-production like ADR and reshoots where actors are needed.

    Could someone pelase explain both strikes to me? I understand the part where they aren't paid well but I'm not sure I understand what is going on with AI. Do studios think they can replace people with AI? :wtf:

     

    Actors don't want studios to be able to recreate their likenesses (Rogue One, for example) and writers don't want a future where studios let an AI write a script and then bring in writers in to "edit" those scripts and pay them less because it's editing and not writing.

    Bad idea and I think the character will be forgotten about if the film does poorly, which I expect.

     

    Also, how can blue beetle be the first dcu character while superman is the first dcu movie? What?

     

    I guess they could theoretically carry Blue Beetle over to the DCU but the more likely explanation is that Gunn is willing to/has to say anything to get people to turn up for these final DCEU movies.

    Still on the "this extraordinarily awful CGI is probably turning off audiences from wanting to see this" camp. 

     

    It's not even the quality of the CG (which is admittedly pretty mediocre), it's the very specific camera movements and angles. At 0:07 it really looks like the player is about to be given control of Supergirl.

    Remember when they issued death threats to critics who did not like BvS?
    Yes, every fandom has it's annoying jerks, but Snyder fandom does seem to have more then it;s share.

    And, yeah, Snyder com does sound like a glorified watch party.

     

    Happened way before that with The Dark Knight Rises. That's when RT removed its comment section.

    We're those rumors ever actually true? Because whenever I saw them they were like "she's being replaced by Emilia Clarke" which was clearly a fake thing from Game of Thrones fans

     

    WB reshooting all of Heard's scenes with a different actress was obviously crazy fan fiction but I can believe that they tried to make Heard's role smaller in the edit.

    Aquaman is said to be one of the worst decision movies per latest test screenings so let's just another dude. Also,  how bad did want fjck it for aquaman to be a contender for worst scrutinize movie? 

     

    If rumors are to be believed then the movie started to test significantly worse after they tried to remove Amber Heard from the movie. I get that people feel all sorts of ways about her but if Mera's inclusion makes the movie better then keep Heard in the film.
