Probably my favorite detail about the Thanos CGI is that you can see visible stubble on his head
@Follow God:God loves you repent it will be worth it God bless you all💕💜♥️❤❤
“She kinda hit the ground”
“ *K I N D A* “
She KINDA DEAD.
Init, KINDA? Her whole funeral scene was cos she hit the ground, the film made it so elaborant
i literally said it at the same time . like, sir, you are tripping

'SHe kinda hit the ground"
"KINDA!!??"
It'z Krona, I remember watching that scene and having an absolute gut-wrenching reaction to it. That was by far the most brutal death you could’ve expected in a Spider-Man Movie.
Honestly, I don't think she was "supposed to" have hit the ground. The panel of the comics it references, she definitely doesn't, and if the death was supposed to be due to cranial impact, you would expect a shot of him pulling his hand out from behind her head with blood on it (even if they don't explicitly show the wound). I'll give you that going through it frame-by-frame, it certainly looks like she does. But I suspect that's unintended.
10:21
@@Taurusus her hair flattens out on the ground, suggesting she hits and not that it just looks like she might have hit. If a VFX artist did it like that then it was most definitely intentional.
@@Taurusus Yeah in the comics she is thrown off a bridge into the water and spiderman snaps her neck by trying to web catch her. Thus he has an internal debate as to wether he should have webbed her or let her fall into the water.
You can tell the animators for Iron Man's suits looove those suits. So many loving close-ups of all those little moving parts
Watching iron man’s suit is soooo satisfying.
Ok yea
Yeah but not in Infinity War. In my opinion the Ironman suit looks so bad and unreal in Infinity War. In the first and the second Ironman it was just CGI if he's flying or for the details so they matched the real armour with the CG armour.
But in Infinity War it's just made with motion-capture and it looks so bad and unreal.
I coom for all those moving parts and all the little clinks and clacks of the parts fitting together. Tony's first series of armors were the greatest visually. The fluid armor formations were cool but not memorable. When Tony's last armor formed parts from the fluid metal and clinked into place was very nice.
My favorite iron man suit up is definitely the one with the suit case, it was so dope but 2nd favorite is the nano tech that one is really clean
Im still angry that Dr. Strange didnt won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, it was surreal!
cgi in that movie is too obvious, some doesnt look good, but i enjoyed the movie
The CGI in Doctor Strange was incredible + I don’t care if anyone says this is a meh movie I say this is an amazing movie
@@rocketnike2005 100%, it’s one of the best marvel movies if not the best
But they did won a award tho I don’t think it was an oscar but they did won an award.
After watching the last fight scene in far from home, it makes you wonder how crazy the visuals will be in the next dr strange movie
“She kinda hit the ground”
“kINdA?!?!!??¿¡?¡!¿”
That was hilarious
In the comics the force breaks her neck
I always thought she broke her spine when peter caught her
Hahahhahha
to be fair i didn’t think she hit the ground either until years later lol
like dany kinda forgot about the iron fleet
Plot twist:
The guys watching this are CGI.
Lol. I half expected one of them to make that joke
Full CGI models lol
Sub if you love Pewdiepie People comment this on everyone of their videos.
You thought CGI experts were real?? No, dude, they are all CGI...
@@Carewolf But wait that's illegal
Need merch that says:
"Look at that neck!"
and
"The pores stretch!"
And "KINDA"
Me: Wants to become a VFX artist
Also me: sees this video
Me again: nevermind....
If it makes you feel any better, multiple people work on the same thing and add details, so you don't need to get anything close to, let's say, iron man model
Idk you bro but go all in, you never know what you'll achieve
Lets learn together I know a lilbit but look at modeling first and everything else will come after that
That is so me
😂😂😂
Iron Man 1's suit is one of Industrial Light & Magic's finest achievements.
So good.
Iron Man 1 has always been one of the ones that impressed me the most and really inspired me for some of my own attempts at composite work.
Then along came Hulk in Avengers, and I was like WHAT... They had an actual Cloth Skin overlayed on the model to make the skin react correctly, his pores were actually part of the scan of Mark Ruffalo, then they added additional pores after the fact!
It's beyond incredible.
Me: *is a new texturing artist at animation studio*
Wren: "The first thing you should learn as a texture artist..."
Me: *drops everything, heart rate increases*
Oh cool well hope that goes well for you
good luck for your carrier
Upload what you come up with if you do it right
Good luck mate!
Luck, mate
7:30 that looks so good because it's real. The mask is real, the robots putting the mask on him is CG, but they actually made a mechanical Iron Man mask that drops like that. A lot of the Iron Man suit is real too, pretty much just joints are CG.
Edit: I'll also mention that at some point Robert Downey Jr. told Marvel Studios that he didn't want to wear the suit anymore, so it is entirely mo-cap CG for some movies, but the first Iron Man movie has a lot more practical effects than you'd expect from the MCU now.
really???
@@GamesForNoobs Yes
Jon Favreau has a weird career trajectory as a director. In his early years, he was a big champion of practical effects. When I was a kid, I basically fell in love with the effects on Zathura, and that was where I realized how much I preferred it.
Fast-forward to today, and he's known for The Jungle Book and The Lion King, the latter of which was literally nominated for "Best Animated Feature" at the Globes.
@@davidbjacobs3598 really? I mostly know his marvel stuff and didnt he do mandaloriqn?
Probably a bit late to the party here being 8 months later, but wasn't one of the reasons behind him wanting to go full mo-cap because Ruffalo felt a bit ostracized being the only one out of the Avengers group necessitating being completely CG? If I recall correct, RDJ was hugely empathetic towards Ruffalo, because he was made fun of because he didn't "look" like a hero, and RDJ knew of his stature enough that if *he* did something, then others would quickly follow.
I definitely remember Ruffalo being made fun of because he was the only one in spandex with ping-pong balls, around a group of people who had bows, and shields, and guns... I love him as the hulk, and as an actor in general regardless.
Thank you for bringing up the physics of the actual people. In that shot of avengers, he would realistically have passed out from the G's, his organs would have compressed, and he would have serious damage in his spinal column. Or when superman catches someone, the sudden change would most likely snap the persons neck. That's why I like Quicksilver in the X men films. He Braces people before running around with them. He has learned throughout the years to throw things X fast and X hard so It doesn't just explode from suddenly being moved that fast. I especially like the scene where the school explodes. He throws people into water, cushions, anything to break their fall. Really smart.
When the suit catches iron man, it doesn't just stop, but moves on a "rounded" trajectory, so his forces are reduced. He could pass out for sure... But humans can live through a ton of g forces.. in the 1940's a rocket sled test pilot survived over 46G's... The average rate of fall for a human, based on gravity and the drag from the air, make humans fall at around 120mph... So he's not going all that fast. He probably felt 10g's or so, but would live with little or no ill effects.
He is flying in back in a curved line if you look at it. Because first he slowed down with his thrusters from his hand. Then he changed his body position from feet to head falling, to head to feet stand. While he does that there is curve. He switch his foot thrusters on when he is mid curve to standing and flying back. So his organs are not dropping straight instead they are following the curve. So tony would feel the Gs of the momentum but not dye from it. But it is a small curve to be notice.
"your product doesnt reflect the trouble you went through to make it" thats a quote right there

"She kinda hit the ground..."
**Now all together now!**
"KINDAAAAAAAAA??!!!"
To his credit, I thhhiiiiink, (don’t quote me) in the comic book, if I recall they do say she breaks her spine from the momentum.. half credit 🤷🏼♂️

PARASYTE! Does Random Stuff? It wasn’t everybody!
10:25
When doctor strange came out, I was absolutely amazed by the FX they had without blur on certain scenes. Amazing.
here's how you improve that black panther fight if you're under a time crunch: have T'Challa and Killmonger fight against a sunset.
So many problems fixed.
It really didn't need to be cgi. I loved black panther in civil war because his suit was practical and rarely used cgi
@@denzell3460 that too. His suit looks SOOOO good in civil war it was almost jarring in black panther how much of it was digital.
Instructions unclear, can’t see T’Challa and Killmonger due to sun being destroyed
And to add some Bay touch, add a chopper flying in slowmo
@@denzell3460 actually I just learned in civil war while practical what you see on screen is cgi at all times.
Costume designer: The costumes haven't been made yet...
Director: Its ok we'll just fix in post.
Everyone in post: ...huh?
Costume designer: All suits are ready to use
Director: Whatever we are using cg
FTY
That’s assuming that the reason for the CG suits was to “ prevent spoiler leaks”, given that the directors are on record for shit like giving the actors incomplete scripts, and lying to them on set as to WTF they were actually shooting.
All that segment did was make me think about Green Lantern. Smdh. I would like to meet the dumbass that thought it was a great idea to not make a suit for Ryan.
People in post: Who the fuck is we?
Spider-Man’s suit?
Watching this two years later is insane. I found this channel as a high school senior and this was the first video I watched. now I'm gonna be a sophomore in college with a one wheel (which I wouldn't have saved up for if I didn't see wren's one wheel videos). life's crazy
Dude the catching people while they’re free falling thing has bugged me forever it’s like jumping into a pool from a 10 story building. Thank you for addressing this
Niko: She kind of hit the ground
Everyone: KIND OF!!!!
KIND OF!?!?*
Sorta maybe?
It’s based off the comics were it’s spider-mans webs that snap her spin and the filmmakers based it on that and only made close to the ground for dramatic affect so it wasn’t the impact but the web that killed her
Niko was probably thinking of Gwen Stacy's death in the comics, where she kind of dies from whiplash ;)
@@MongoWobbler Kind of?!
"She kinda did hit the ground"
"KiNda??!?!?!?"
Omg i laughed so hard at this moment 😂😂😂😂
I find it funny cause you can actually hear the crack of her head hitting the floor in the movie but they had the video muted xD
Well, part of it is because they changed things from the comoic. In the comic it was pure "Realistic physics". (In part because he frakked up with grabbign her.)
In the movie, well...they made it a BIT more clear she's dead by having him be seconds too late. (In the comic, she was falling face-first, and he grabbed her by the heel, which is implied, possibly incorrectly, to make things SO MUCH WORSE)
I loved that they were so caught up in it they HARD clipped the mic
If you zoom in on the web he shoots to catch her, it turns into a hand as it reaches out. I've always thought that was creepy and kind of dope simultaneously
Same, best part of the video by far.
Alternate title: Three men freak out over face shadows.
In all seriousness, I actually love when people with professional insight enthuse over details I never would have known to be excited about, whether it's archeologists yelling about buttons and jars, or CGI guys celebrating beautiful shadow work. :)
Nico's sentiment on the Doctor Strange clips really resonate with me. That kind of thing is why I love sci-fi and fantasy. I want to see things I could never imagine.
Thanos close ups are probably the most impressive CG thing Marvel’s done
Dude that scene in infinity war where they were trying to take the gauntlet off his hand ...duude that close up was fucking insane
Deage character cgi:haha.yes but no
Thanos up close is one of the most impressive CGI creations anybody has done.
Agree
@MR FREEZE-98 ahahahahaha nope
I really appreciate how your attitude to the bad CGI wasn't "We are better than this and this shouldn't have been allowed," but you instead look in detail at what led them to get the results that they did, how it could've been improved and, crucially, why they didn't do that (because of time or budget constraints.)
There's also a sense of awe with the good special effects that some people might omit, and some insight into what makes special effects look good or bad. The quality of commentary here is impressive, and you have a noticeable humility that might be hard to achieve for others. Top quality video, guys.
@nerdtronis141 what?
@nerdtronis141 doesn't respond..
Henry Ambrose I don’t appreciate how they diss the best console. Xbox.
@nerdtronis141 insults aren't criticism, get that through your head.
am I the only one who remembers black panther final fight scene looking WAYYY better
“She kinda hit the ground”
“ *KINDA!?* “
It feels like these early episodes of VFX Artists React came out a few months ago. I remember watching these as they were first uploaded and it doesn't feel like it has been this long at all.
"Dude, she kinda hit the ground..."
*_"K I N D A ? ! ? !"_*
She didn't hit the ground
Her hair did
I was so sure she broke her spine.
It looks like her neck is so broken to me
Either way, she ded as fuck
10:24
made me spit my drink out
"She kinda hit the the ground"
"KINDA?!?!?!"
They had the sound cut but in the movie you hear a clear "bonk" from her hitting the ground, it is very easy to understand that she ded
@@CuT7yFlaM and honestly it was kind of unnecessary, since her spine just folds anyway
In my country, that part was cut so I confused why she died.
I think in the comic she either dies before the fall or from whiplash. But not from smashing to the ground.
@@CuT7yFlaM Not in my country though, they just cut the "hit to the ground" scene and it's not understandable why she killed.
I discovered this channel right when this came out
And I cant be happier I did
I love this channel so much
When Iron Man broke his fall by blasting away with his thrusters, the first thing I had to think about was the poor people below him. they would've been baked and blasted away at the same time if that much force was directed down at them.
Remember the Messerschmitt 262? That thing of course weighed much more than Iron man, but it couldn't accelerate as fast either... so would it be fair to say the engines have comparable total final thrust to Iron Man's? Anyway, the Me-262 went from being a tail-dragger design to having tricycle landing gear, because it literally melted the runway. You do NOT want to be near the exhaust of a running jet or rocket engine.
EDIT: now I think about it, I wanna see an R-rated version of that scene after all. I know you found better scenes, but Iron Man saving himself could be a masterpiece of unintended consequences.
It was more like saving them too....he wud survive that fall in the suit....but those dudes being squished by a metal suit with that acceleration......they dead. I think they shudhve had him shoot a beam towards his right so he falls to the ground BESIDE them and so he lives n so do they n no physics issue
10:24
"ok,she kind of hit the ground..."
*K I N D O F ?!*
😂
she smacked full force, brutal to see
All I can hear now is the sound of a baseball hitting the sweet spot on an aluminium bat...
If that what "smacking her head from falling" defines "kind of"
Then a punch to the face means "a gentle tap" to him.
2:28 imagine all the cuts Thanos must get every morning as he shaves that wrinkly chin
Infinity razor
He has all 6 stubble stones
Was this his true reason for the gems? He just wanted a close shave? And he made up the "balance to the universe" bullshit as an excuse?
He has a custom made razor
A razor would probably break before it cut his skin if Iron Man could barely touch him lol
It would be an absolutely incredible tribute if you guys did a remaster of the Black Panther fight scene. It would be insane and practically impossible, but if you did it... Holy crap it would amazing!
Yes
Marvel would hire them for $$$
I think it would be a great tribute to Chadwick. That's a beautiful idea man. Rip king . Wakanda for ever
Damn watching their first react video after so long really shows how much better they got at editing and recording these videos
Niko: "Yea well she kind of hit the ground."
Clint and Wren:""KIND OFF!!""
The mic peak though
I love how tese videos aren't just reactions but educating us on certain topics that other film makers don't talk about
Exactly. Hate reaction videos, but love these
Yes! Please increase the educational sections if possible.
Really loved this video! Great stuff
The Thanos CGI in Infinity War was amazing all the way to the very last scene. He looked cartoonish in the last dramatic shots after the snap, but we were already impressed by then and didn't care.
In the comic she doesn’t hit the ground, the instant deceleration breaks her back....
Rare moments when physics actually makes sense in comics
I thought his webs were elastic?
Sam if we’re speaking with physics then she would still die if they were elastic because elastic stretches and she’d still hit the ground pretty damn hard
@@pablo_supernova not only that, but the web in the middle of her body would make a pressure point holding it, so her legs and head would still "fall" (by the First Law of Newton). To actually save her he would need to shoot webs in all of her body and break the momentum.
It's like throwing something in the air and catching it without moving your hand and moving your hand with the objetct to slow it down
Even though they changed the death from her breaking her neck from momentum to her head physically hitting the ground and breaking her neck from the force of trauma, it's still a very sad way to die I think we all can agree.
10:26
“Ehh she kinda hit the ground”
*“K I N D A ???”*
That was funny!!
These videos are awesome. I'm constantly amazed at what people are capable of doing with technology.
I'm binge watching your videos right now!! I'm a professionnal photo retoucher, but when it comes to movies VFX, I don't know anything.

I wish they reacted to Dr Strange's "Open your eyes" Scene.
or how the cape was mostly CGI I'm pretty sure the cape was never on him
@@luisanariva3484 there was a cap on him if u watch the behind the scenes of the movie but the cape was more of a real model for the cgi model to stick on and so on etc aaaa too much engineering and programing !!! aaaaaa

He shaves with the infinity razor. You put all six stones in the razor, and it gives a perfect shave.
Perfectly shaven, as all things should be.

@@aryavart296 It's impossible to make a realistic costume like that
@eating sugar no papa in Addition to what Hugh said, it is fucking complicated to make these suits look realistic

I’m always amazed at how realistic the suit in iron man looks, especially considering it was made in 2008
I thought I had heard that some scenes in that movie were made with a real non-CGI suit
@@jurasticbork8878 Yeah, and a dude at the studio stole them, they were three or two i dont remember lol
I think he looked the most realistic in the first Avengers
That movie generally had great cg
Had to do with the fact that hey used less CGI since they actually made a suit. There are a few videos on it. One of the main reasons the first one will always be my favorite.
Davy Jones is still one of the most impressive fully CG character that's ever been put to film, and those films came out in 2006/2007. Especially considering the amount of complexity involved with the realistic tentacle beard and human-amphibious skin tones.
Thanos actually does shave. Old man Thanos has a beard
Have you thought how his razor would be?
He'd have one for the flat surfaces on his face (and body) and a different one for this chin.
I imagine a mini plough like razor with multiple heads that get inside each crevice of his chin.

He probably has some kind of a cream he can rub on his face that painlessly dissolves his hair.
It's actually a little disappointing imagining him manscaping.
@@SyzygyNoon seems a bit embarrassing as well
andre byrd At least he does it himself. Ronan the Accuser had a whole team of people to get him ready in the morning. Nothing says “compensating” like an entourage of servants who keep you from having to look in a mirror or touch your own skin. Thanos ain’t no poser, yo.
Hey guys, I noticed that you were mentioning how there was no way to easily stretch the pores in the cgi close up. I know you guys love challenges so it would be sick if you guys could do a video exploring a bootleg technique to map pores onto a face. You guys showed footage of the pores moving so maybe it seems possible to capture the pores moving on film and then maybe get a program to track that movement and transposing it onto a cg model? Anyway, would love to see you guys take these lessons you give us and find ways to put your own corridor digital magic in place to adapt it into your own projects
You guys are really good at this
Maybe the effects of DCU, especially that infamous mustache removal.

“His aorta would rip from his heart”
Not to mention that he would’ve burnt the skin off the people who he was above when he started flying....
well he has an stark reactor iron man has no heart tbh but please correct me if im wrong
ShiroBolic he only had the reactor to create a magnetic field to keep shrapnel from entering his heart from a previously incurred injury. He gets the reactor removed in the third movie and used it as a battery for his suits.
in ALL of the iron man movies, you see him shrug off falls and weapon impacts that would actually be fatal. something doesnt have to breach his suit to kill him. and on that note, we dont really get to see how strong the armor actually IS - we never see him shot with anti-armor weaponry. lots of explosives and rifle-caliber bullets, but no shaped-charge or sabot rounds. stand him in front of an abrams main gun, and he would have a hole blown straight through him.
later suits can be hand-waved better with him adding better (presumably active) protection. note the scene in civil war where rhodey's iron patriot suit gets its power knocked out and the injuries he takes from his fall.
YES! Also, not to mention he was just thrown through laminated glass that is an inch or more thick and remained conscious and mostly unscathed
The aorta thing, I think the suit uses the same tech as his repulsors (hand cannons) to absorb trauma and stuff, so it's plausible, without the suit he's only human!
I think about that each time I watch that
LoTR trilogy. Even after all this time, I can't believe how much of those movies is just CG. I'd love your take on how they achieved it. The Extended Edition bonus materials is an absolute goldmine of information about their practical effects mixed so skillfully with cutting-edge CGI (for being made in the late 90's / early 2000's). They really do not look outdated even today.
For sure , would love to see that
It was an ingenious combination of practical and cgi. when the heroes were sword fighting orcs in close up shots they were real actors in amazing makeup and costumes. CGI was mostly used for long establishing shots to show us scale and numbers. Jackson knew cgi up close at the time wasn't great (Gollum being the exception where they put a ton of work into just him and even then he looks dated now in some shots.) so when they used it the camera was far away. For shots of armies they would have the first few lines of soldiers be actors and then as it gets further away they used cgi for the rest which gave a realistic feel of scale (Game of Thrones has used this as well which is why their battles look astounding).
LoTR had a lot of practical effects. F.e. to make the Hobbits look small, they build the sets in weird angles, so filming from a specific perspective make them look smaller than Gandalf.
In the Hobbit trilogy Jackson just said "fuck it" and made everything a green screen with shitty CGI.
Agreed. It's absolutely astonishing that the CGI in the LoTR trilogy still holds up almost two decades down the cinematic road. There are a couple wonky shots, for sure (Legalos and the oliphaunts, anyone?), but only a few. The rest are simply golden and often look better than most CGI scenes in films today (my jaw still drops just seeing the Balrog swathed in flame).
The biggest problem with modern films is that the people in charge don't care for them anymore. Using LoTR as an example, Building all these sets and thinking about ways to film scene s in a certain way to help with the post-CGI requires thoughts and work.
But Jackson didn't care for the Hobbit, those movies were nothing but a cash grab, so he went "well, can't we just do that scene in front of a greenscreen and put in all the stuff later? i want this shit wrapped up before 5 o'cock"
It's not a matter of time in most cases and the CG is sometimes even more expensive than building sets, but if you're a lazy director, its a blessing for your movie.
Please make a part 2 of this! 😍
When Wren made the comment about how fast Iron Man stops and turns around in Avengers I was sooooo happy, because I made the exact same note when I watched that movie.
React to your own VFX and elaborate on what you could improve and etc!
thats a good idea
Great idea!
cheap video but fuck it but hey they would own all material
I agree, the Iron Man series had really good CGI.
Except Iron Man 2's final battle with Ivan Vanko. Ivan's head was terribly animated. It looked like it was cut out of a video and just placed on top of the scene
Henry and then you see those really good effects next to the floating head that is civil war
ChainZ I agree, that was one thing I didn’t like. Other than that, the effects were on point.
KIND OF!!!!! - The perfect synchronization.
Wow this was soooooo great!
“Blegh, look at that neck! Doing that neck snap? AUGH”
I love you Clint, you’re so great XD

10:25 Niko you shouldn't have done that:
Niko: She kinda hit the ground.
Wren and Clint Shouting: *KINDA?!*
10:21 I wish they'd commented on the VFX in _this_ scene! I think it looks pretty good, plus the colour choices are great!
How does Thanos shave the complex form of his chin
Nair
He uses dollar shave club.

Shaving a scrotum is not that hard
He uses a garden rake
This channel is starting to make me feel like they're teaching me to become a professional VFX artist ...
...they are...
Then we all have to stick around
dont know if you're joking, but that's actually what the channel was about before it turned into the corridor crew. Back when corridor was corridor digital this channel was here to show you how they did the effects they made and other helpful tips and tricks. Not just for VFX but film making in general.
True
I love that the preview just shows Niko flailing around.
Love these, you should do Jingle all the way
Please do a "VFX Artists React to Transformers Bad & Great CGI" video
Yes!
I second this!
They should compare the CGI from the 2007 film and Bumblebee
Y'all could do a week on
Michael Bay, then Peter Jackson.
films that had CGI that no one knew about, e.i. the white suits in Endgame.
like mad max fury road
that was CGI?! holy fuck they looked so real well done.
Like Hugh Jackman driving in Logan.
@@jonathanmasters4128 To be fair, the biggest CGI piece in Mad Max: Fury Road was the canyon. About 99% of the movie is practical.
I noticed the helmets were cgi because how fake their faces looked in them but not the suits
I liked, im subcribed and sooooo ready to see the cgi breakdown for the upcoming spiderman movie in december.
2:39 Thank You. I was about to comment that only when you spoke for me.
Do a Star Wars video and do comparisons of how the CGi changed throughout. It would be cool to look at lightsabers, full environments, and how they switched from practical to cg for characters like Jaba and Yoda. Love these videos!
i heard they dont use cg in explosions and that kind of stuff too
It'd be awesome to see like Sequel vs Prequel cg with some classic Original Trilogy mixed in
I was going to suggest they do this with multiple series that have older films and newer films: compare LOTR with the hobbit, star wars 1 2 3 vs. 7 8 9, Firefly vs. Serenity, matrix 1 vs. 2 and 3, Harry Potter 1 vs. 7, etc.
It's interesting when you contrast how they did things the first time vs. later when they had more $ and tech, and see when it makes it better vs. when it got worse.
first time i’ve seen someone acknowledge Gwens head hit the ground... THANK YOU
You all sound so smart and professional👍
Do an episode about cgi used to de-age actors. (Jeff Bridges in Tron: Legacy, Michael Douglas in Ant-Man, Sam Jackson in Cpt. Marvel, Carrie Fisher in Rogue One, etc.)
I really thought the Civil War Tony Stark deage was the first one they did that was super believable. All the other Marvel deages after that have been miles ahead of what anyone else has done imo.
P.Sherman Johnny depp in the last pirates movie
Carrie Fisher did not act as Princess Leia in rogue one.
Guardians of the galaxy vol 2. Quills dad?
john travolta in Gotti
Can you do lord of the rings vs. the Hobbit? Would love to know your thoughts on the production differences
Samuel Glover this x100000
Samuel Glover yes!! Do this please!
@Joshima M They'd take that into account. I think in the first VFX react video they compared the two briefly
@Joshima M To be fair though, technological advancements aside, a vast majority of people would agree that LOTR is visually more appealing than The Hobbit. Take the Cave troll in Fellowship for example; that troll is a whole lot more convincing that Azog in the Hobbit.
Well Lotr is 80% practical effects. The 20% had loads of time dedicated to making it look good. Rather than the Hobbit, which was 70% cgi, and therefore had less time to properly polish it all, so Gollum looks amazing, but the white orcs don't.
These videos are awesome
The cheeky digital zoom at 10:13 XD
That "kind of?! "
Was so in sync... It made me laugh
Edit: 10:25 sorry hahah
I had to rewatch it a few times.
Time stamp?

Yeah, the microphone went nuts
I love these videos. A 16 minute video felt like 5 mins. What about a Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter VFX critique?
I’d love a Harry Potter. And also a Fantastic Beasts one
9:50 that Arc Reactor must have a lot more thought behind it than we previously thought.
10:24 Niko: "she kind of hit the ground."
Clint and Wren: "KIND OF?!"
Do a video on Oscar Winning films in VFX category. Can also include nominees as well, and if/why you think the winner deserved it.
I love how they had no complaints about Dr. Strange.
Cuz its amazing
If there's one thing that film did right it's visual effects.
@Raddz5000
They didn't react to the fractal hands. :(
@The Rue Morgue And the way Strange beat the villain. That was foreshadowed, utilized Strange's character to the fullest, made perfect sense, and was just all-around clever.
@The Rue Morgue And his name is Dr. Strange but his legal title is also Dr. Strange so it's not even a fake superhero name wawaweewa
10:25 Niko: She kinda hit the ground
Clint & Wren: *KINDA!?*
Dude that whole segment of spiderman and Gwynn has me fucking rolling. So funny. Gotta be top 5 Coridor moments, easy.
I really don't remember that scene in Black Panther looking that bad
Me neither
But doesn't the shining/glowing come from the suit itself? (I mean the kinetic energy or whatever that is)
Maybe hype possibly made you ignore it
unitedkingdom offiveeyes dude obviously
unitedkingdom offiveeyes we all know why your mom doesn’t love you.
