The 'Why Do Marvel's Movies Look Kind of Ugly?' Video is Flat Wrong—Here's Why
6 years ago
This rebuttal is arguably more flawed than the video. It aims to counter the YouTuber's argument, but makes points that are tangential at best in order to pad out the article and seem more authoritative than it is. For example, when color grading started isn't pertinent to the topic and presenting a slightly adjusted starting point comes down to trivia. Also, the discussion of who the colorist is for Marvel is irrelevant and attempts to make it seem otherwise appear to be "appealing to authority". In fact the entire article boils down to "it looks ugly on purpose" which, while possibly true, doesn't diminish the points that the YouTuber made.
