Why do Marvel movies look kind of Ugly? (Video Essay)

[Dominic Brehetto]

That dry color palette was probably the doing of that cheap mothafukka that used to be the head of marvel studios movie division

I know people want to blame everything bad on Ike because if they didn't that would mean admitting fault on current marvel but I doubt this very much.

Nah that's a design choice homie. It's not expensive to open an editing program that they've already paid for and just change the color. It's a house design that they're going for and one standard look. That's not money that's creative and that was Feige's choice. Homie in the video did it in less than 2 seconds. We really want to believe a Disney studios company doesn't have access to a MacBook and basic editing software?

Something about the color palette in Age Of Ultron actually made me depressed.

Haven't watched that movie since I saw it at the theater.Don't think I ever will.

GOTG is the best looking Marvel flick IMO.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

I'll take Marvel's cinematography over Zack Snyder's drab ass color palette that he brought to the DC movies any day

Yeah...His shyt's wack, to

He did it in two seconds for a frame of footage. To get the colors right for the whole movie costs a lot more time, breh. I really wouldn't put it past Marvel to cheapen out on "small" stuff like that, that's also the main reason I believe that they never wasted too much money on decent scores because they know most of their audience could give a fukk less about that shyt. That shyt might sound like penny chasing but that's how Marvel Studios operates.

Well it comes down to whether it's a house style or pinching pennies or maybe a little of both. I lean more toward it being a house style. That's not a bad thing or a good thing it's just a choice they made. Like you said it's safe filmmaking

I just rewatched the video and even dude said it takes tons of work to get the coloring right because you have to adjust for it every scene. I don't know (or care) whether it's by design or by cheapness but then again I never cared much about it either. I prefer the so-called "flat" color look over oversaturated movies like Transformers any day of the week.

 

[cKondomsucK6]

Nah it's pretty obvious I feel, especially in Civil War and Ultron. Just has a bland clean look. Like UPN shows

omg u right

fukk upn

Time is money and fam was the cheapest person I've heard of and doing all that color correction takes a lot of time
Hit that saved custom pre-set and get the movie out. sounds like the thinking of a cheap bast ardent to me

Also sounds like a producer saying this is our look and this is what we're going with

 

[Tasha And]

Are people really trying to argue that Marvel doesn't have the time or money to make their films more colorful?

No. what I'm saying is the old head of the film division was a notoriously cheap b*stard and it wouldnt surprise me if it was his doing to save money.

 

[chiefdogg]
