Your eye sees just about every frame of a film…

People may not think they care, but obviously they do. That’s why marvel movies do better than DC ones.

People absolutely care about details in their media.



Fair point, particularly given the example. My conclusion wrt. Marvel vs. DC is that DC productions care much less about details, in exactly the way I find off-putting.

Not all details matter, some do. And, it's better to not show the details at all, than to be inconsistent in them.

Like, idk., don't identify a bomb as a specific type of existing air-fuel ordnance and then act about it as if it was a goddamn tactical nuke. Something along these lines was what made me stop watching Arrow series.


> Not all details matter, some do

This is a key observation, unfortunately generally solving for what details matter is extremely difficult.

I don’t think video generation models help with that problem, since you have even less control of details than you do with film.

At least before post.


The visuals are the absolute bottom of why DC movies have performed worse over the years.

The movies have just had much worse audience and critical reception.
