Disclaimer: most of the ideas presented here about the Marvel franchise are discussed in the phrasing of PewDiePie, not because I had no opinions on the matter before he discussed it, but because I feel that he best addresses the issues at hand.
That's right. This miserable 2 and-a-half hour advertizement for the vast number of identical Marvel movies' most saddening death scene was American Cinema. How far we've fallen, RiPoLa. Much like how the mainstream blindly eats up any other franchise, Infinity Wars succeeded in making millions off of sheeple Marvel fans young and old. There are so many things that I disliked about this movie, that I don't even know where to begin,1. Greenscreen/CGI does not make everything better.
As of late, I've become somewhat of a consumatore for big movies from the late 50s and early 60s, such as the highly esteemed Ben-Hur, Exodus, El Cid, James Bond, Lawrence of Arabia, and a continuing list of other notable "classics." When comparing these films to those of modern day, there are stark differences in every category from camera angles to plot. to the unseeing eye, the most immediate and profound visual difference that can be noted is the lack of any greenscreening or CGI, as this technology was not yet invented. Shockingly, even in the abcense of such capabilities, these movies still hold excellent and dynamic scenes, massive armies clashing, and chaotic scenes of action.
When movies couldn't use any form of greenscreen or CGI, produces had to either do everything from scratch or improvise. Take Ben-Hur's chariot racing scenes, for example. The set for the area in the movie was so large, it had to be constructed 9 months ahead of filming to complete it. Once the set was complete, hundreds of unique actors with costumes and roles, all real people, filled this stadium to watch was was a very real chariot race. Real horses were lined up with real chariots on their backs with real actors in those chariots. It was anyone's guess as to what could happen when the horses took off. As one of the actor's chariots fell apart, he rolled into the path of multiple other chariots where he was then crushed and trampled by those horses, and unfortunately did not survive to see the finished movie. That sort of dedication is NEVER seen in modern movies.
