It's not like this is an isolated instance; MCU movies look like poo poo despite being the most expensive works ever undertaken by man

I edited my post but the show is what 8 hour-long episodes and the movies are a combined 11 hours or so in the extended cuts

A lot of people now just say things like "it looks cheap" as a way to say "I didn't like it."

pretty much this

I agree the amount of money they spent is LOL but it does look expensive

If people want to bag on the writing or acting or casting or whatever, I get that, but if you think it looked cheap, you might have been watching a different show

idk the mordor reveal looked pretty bad imo

The 1993 Jurassic Park mostly looks better than the 2018+ Jurassic Park movies.

i was at the dentist yesterday and met my first person other than me who has seen avatar 2. i asked her what she thought about it and her response was "it was really long"

later on the dentist was talking to his assistant about tv recommendations and he brought up the white lotus. the assistant was like "i can't believe you told me to watch that, that one scene ruined it all for me." i was really curious so i asked her later what scene she meant and she was like "the one where the two men have sex" lmao. how far we haven't come. to be fair in the scene the older man is eating the younger man's rear end, which is decent shock value i suppose but she went on to clarify "i don't care who anyone likes, but don't make me see it. hollywood is trying to shove it down our throats. my boyfriend yelled at me for making him see that." sounds like a man who is very secure and very stable

There's probably an argument that the LOTR movies were peak special effects and its just been getting worse since then

Capital doesn’t want workers to have any power. So instead of artists lording over their bosses with their ability make things not look like poo poo, capital has built an enormously expensive machine to produce a barely passable product.

it's actually disturbingly common. i've heard some variation of this story from quite a few people. any time gay sex is depicted onscreen the man in the story gets overtly disgusted and violent about it. seems weird to me

Even if it doesn't actually bother them, they have been programmed to react this way so that no one can read a lack of reaction as secret admiration for gayness

I had never seen any of the infamous Musk SNL skits before because SNL is poison. Musk is terrible and unfunny, but how exactly is this skit any worse than the normal dreck on that show?

SNL occasionally has a good sketch, maybe 1 or 2 per show

but sometimes also zero per show.

But the Musk episode was bad even for them.

i dunno seems like a prestige job whose best days are firmly behind it, whose main purpose is to make the shithead of the week look as good as possible to the dwindling and aging audience for whom its remotely relevant, and so hate-watchers can go "drat, they're funny, shame they're on snl though"

like that feels like a trap job to me

do you think there's some sort of successful career path for an improv/sketch comedian that is more financially stable than "SNL"?

it's like saying "imagine being a talented wrestler but ending up on Monday Night Raw"
