Limits are good. If MCU could make an unlimited number of films, we never would have gotten a DD with thematic weight as big as Netflix's and Kingpin would have been yet another wasted marvel baddie. Limits invite creativity and that's why the Netflix series are so popular, far more than they would be if they tried to be films. Those properties absolutely do not need film budgets, and would be much poorer entertainment if they were trying to meet a certain spectacle. Sure they need a better costume designer and tighter pacing, but throwing money at the problem does not fix Iron Fist, as we can see by giving the same creator even more money, he can't even dress the people right. Agents of SHIELD definitely didn't need to be a film to give us the same good spy fun that's been done excellently on tv budgets since Get Smart.
At some point, we need to credit the people who are jacking up the characters with their choices, and not call lack of creativity and interest a lack of money and simply hope more money will fix everything. DC is throwing more money at the problem and it hasn't given them much to show for it. Better promo posters do not make for better products.
Reportedly they have 100M to do 8 episodes. That's 12 million an episode. That's more than Rome or Game of Thrones. Does this photo look more expensive than Game of Thrones?
If not... is that because they don't have the *money* to make it look expensive, or they just don't have the talent?
Also have to remember that most of the money for Rome went into the sets and effects, no where near as much as wardrobe quality(definitely wardrobe quantity). I believe the same is true with Game of Thrones. Also, Inhumans have a large full cgi character that's gonna eat up a lot of money while more of GoT is practical mixed with green screens and camera effects.
Is that true? That's insanely high for a TV show but still if this was a movie, it would get a higher budget for a more or less 2 hours of screentime.
Well that's why Rome was canceled after 2 season(when it was planned for five) they had great ratings but budget was way too big to justify it. InHumans are banking on IMAX ticket sales to help make a profit. If it wasn't for that it would have a much smaller budget, or same budget but more episodes. It's an interesting strategy. Hopefully it works out
The more I look at Black Bolt, the more I like it. I agree, I definitely want a tuning fork crown to appear.I guess I am one of the few that doesn't find the picture all that objectionable. The only thing that I find a bit disappointing is that Black Bolt looks a bit plain. I think adding a crown with the tuning fork at the center would've paid homage to the comic design while also conveying the sense that this is royalty. As it is, there is nothing that really tells me that this is a royal family.
I get the Medusa criticisms but I'm going to reserve judgement until I see the trailer. I think maybe she will look better in motion.
Medusa looks like a bad photoshop job, but I wonder if fake looking hair will make the cgi hair seem more consistent.
