We here at Sony know you've been waiting years to learn the origin of one of Spider-man's greatest foes, coming in 2025: The Wall.

Excited to see how deep into the weeds major studios are willing to go. As someone who never kept up with the comics, once you get past the top dozen or so main villains in DC or Marvel poo poo gets real weird real fast.  If it's his day off then why TF did he put the costume on SMDH immersion ruined 0/10

As a fan of a bad baseball team(Go Twins) I can understand Peter Parker not wanting to show his face at a Mets game.

You must have been watching a different episode than I was Nice intro/setup episode for the spy thriller we have ahead, establishes the players, and kills off one of the longest established characters in the MCU But you know Boring

I’m pretty sure they were done with AI yeah. And a quick google confirms: https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/23767640/ai-mcu-secret-invasion-opening-credits I’m surprised the script wasn’t written by AI too tbh

The AI-generated opening titles frankly look like dogshit and everyone who approved them should be embarrassed. as for Secret Invasion E1 itself: it does feel meaningfully distinct from other MCU projects but not in an entirely successful way. It’s very much trying to be a prestige spy thriller, which mostly translates to a pretty dour and self-serious tone, generically dingy urban settings, and talk of geopolitics. Lousy opening scene too, I can think of a bunch of more interesting ways to introduce the premise than what they went with, even if Martin Freeman absolutely had to be there. It does have potential to pick up now that the setup is out of the way, I guess, so I can always hope for improvement

It's very funny to imagine Gravik making out with someone near the river only to have to run the moment Fury is out of sight so he can then go and play with a ball.

I honestly, didn't like this. Samuel Jackson constantly just gave the energy of a person who's tired, slow and lifeless. And while that might be what they're going for with Nick Fury nowadays, it doesn't make for good television. Not really a fan of the emotional drama around Gaia (however you spell that.) either.

The use of AI for the credit sequence doesn't feel like it was done as a cost-cutting measure.

It was a stylistic choice. They said as much a while ago. They actually hired a high-end design firm to make the "AI images," which is honestly even weirder than just using one of the free ones as a cost-cutting measure. I get what they were going for, but it still seems like a weird choice.

They hired Method Studios to design all the supplementary art for the show, including the intro sequence. https://www.methodstudios.com/en/ It's like a TV intro version of the people who pay millions of dollars for a canvas with a red dot on it from high-end artists as a statement piece.

Goons will bitch about anything. Title sequence is fine, and looks great for what they're going for - Can't tell Skrulls apart and everything mishmashes and blurs together.

Agreed, but at the same time if that's what it takes to get Sam Jackson on screen as Nick Fury then so be it. If the dude has to sit, then the dude has to sit. We all don't know what potential poo poo is going on behind the scenes. Bruce Willis is a good example of it.

I was mostly distracted by the way that Richard Dormer sounded a whole lot like Andy Serkis which immediately got me pumped for Serkis doing more crazy poo poo as Ulysses Klaue but not so much

They could’ve paid talented artists and they could’ve had results that expresses the same idea in a way that doesn’t look like ugly poo poo. It’s not like AI is the only thing that’s able to to mishmash and blur things together.

How do you know anything about the dataset they used to create that title sequence? Edit: Like it's fine if you don't like AI imagery, because it has been unethical in how the majority of public facing datasets are trained, but you know nothing about how that studio has trained their dataset.

Sony (and Marvel, frankly) are positive that if there are two Spider-Men in different series, audience's heads will pop like grapes from inability to comprehend the difference. It's why I'm positive that once a live-action Miles Morales is introduced, there will never be another Spider-Verse/other animated Spider-man again.

Goons may bitch about lots of cool poo poo, but I can overgeneralize too: goons love dismissing unethical bullshit because it makes products they like.

The credits are made by AI and the opening scene is the cliché paranoid guy (who gave what feels like the worst performance in the entire MCU) going on and on about how you can't trust information anymore. It's thematic. It felt like a Paramount+ show, which is fitting since it stars a septuagenarian, but I liked it. Colman's a great addition and the Talos family drama is pretty compelling. I'm a big sucker for the cap and glasses stuff though. live with fruit fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jun 21, 2023 |

Infinitum posted:How do you know anything about the dataset they used to create that title sequence? Regardless, as far as I’m concerned there’s no such thing as an ethical dataset. If you’re getting a program to create new art out of previously commissioned work, you’re essentially finding a way to endlessly profit off creatives without ever needing to hire or make use of their skills again. Why not train it off hundreds of thousands of their own comic artworks and create new ones to sell to the public? They’d apparently be in the right to, but I’d equally reject such things.

It's not even particularly original. I don't know specifically how they made this sequence but it basically looks like the well-known Deformer extension for Stable Diffusion that can automatically create a series of images to create an animation. Samples of the different types of transforms it can do without much configuration: https://deforum.github.io/mov/2D/2D_Angle.mp4 https://deforum.github.io/mov/2D/2D_X.mp4 Unless they had no idea what they were doing, it is pretty easy and cheap to make this, far cheaper than having actual artists work on it.

That was an incredibly boring 50 minutes of TV and I didn't care about any of it. Bunch of cliche spycraft nonsense that felt like it came from a 22 episode procedural from the 1990s. I spent most of the runtime reading because I tuned out very early on. It's so poorly made. There were 3 separate jarring editing errors where shots didn't line up in the first 30 minutes. Really sloppy shot continuity. I can forgive lovely CGI because that stuff is expensive and difficult, but making the edits line up right is basic filmmaking that we got a handle on decades ago, come the gently caress on. "It was very long and nothing happened" is not a good start to a show, and I'm usually all in on the hat movie stuff. "Moscow" looked like absolute poo poo and will fool no-one. Eh, I'll still watch this garbage.
