Article Comment – The 'Why Do Marvel's Movies Look Kind of Ugly?' Video is Flat Wrong—Here's Why

This article has finally pushed me into making an account for your fantastic website.

Thank you for writing this. That awful video has been driving me crazy - and it seems to be everywhere. The author of the video isn't even a good colorist. As you have written he is clearly just crushing the blacks and boosting the saturation. How does making every human look like they have jaundice look more appealing to anyone? According to him every frame of every film should just look like a Michael Bay / late stage Tony Scott movie.

I feel like he is someone who has just discovered log and has improperly determined that the (mostly beautiful) Marvel movies were just left in that raw form. It really is an insane assumption. He is stepping past the point of "critical analysis" and into the realm of know-it-all-but-actually-know-nothing film student.

It's insulting to people who actually work in the industry. He sounds like a child... "I THINK DIS COLOR SHOULD BE MORE LIKE DIS COLOR SO DIS COLOR IS WROOOOOOOOOONG"

The thing that bothers me the most is that this video has been posted everywhere - and bloggers seem to be echoing this awful opinion!

Thanks for the smart take on this dumb video.
