Last year, I found a TH-cam channel called The Movie Rabbit Hole which also went over the use of CGI in movies and mentioned that when some say “No CGI” what is actually meant is “Invisible CGI.” It really opened my eyes and made me respect the medium even more. Another channel called Hugo’s Desk also has made videos about it as well. Even Barbie used a lot of CGI as well. It also does annoy me when so many ignore the good CGI effects nowadays because it just comes off as being nostalgia-blind.
I remember watching TH-cam back in the day when people like James Rolfe would criticize the use of CGI is being “overused” at some point of begin to kind of resent that sort of thought process. Special effects in general are often take it for granted and while I do think it’s important for all types of special effects, ranging from practical, puppetry stop motion and traditional animation (2d animation was often used in live action films) should all still be utilized as often as CGI, digital has not only made it an easier process, but allows such effects as before to blend in even more seamless than before.
I remember another popular video maker did a video about his least favourite movie cliches and he put "overuse of CGI" or something like that on there and he cited Steven Spielberg as an example of this. Spielberg makes movies set in the future or about aliens. It should not be shocking he uses CGI to make some of that possible. And Honest Trailers did a video about the Indiana Jones movies, which complained at one point about modern filmmakers using a lot of CGI. Including Spielberg, with them showing a clip of Ready Player One, which I found odd as most of that movie is set in a virtual world. Why wouldn't Spielberg use CGI for that?
These days more people are aware of how poorly treated CGI artists are treated, but I feel like some people use it to take the moral high ground on the CG hating that’s been a part of online discourse for decades
I often see tons of complaints these days that the animals doing stunts are rendered in cgi instead of being real animals without thinkingbof the safety of these animals
This is a debate that no doubt will never end, and it is getting pretty irritating to hear since it feels like a whole bunch of double standard cherry-picking.
To their credit, the vfx artists on Cats worked 80 hour weeks before being laid off. Too bad Rebel Wilson and James Cordon didn't keep that in mind when they presented the best visual effects Oscar. I guarantee you those two would've been just as vocal if someone like Anthony Hopkins made a joke about good acting at their expense.
I didn’t know Parasite used VFX. I have no idea there was VFX for that scene. Are there any other examples of invisible visual effects in movies that you and other people may have missed?
Look up the visual effects reel for "The Wolf of Wall Street." That movie used a ton of green screen and VFX in scenes people might not expect. "I, Tonya" also did an impressive job of putting Margot Robbie's face on her figure-skating double.
I'm going to be honest I don't mind CGI. The problem is that at age is quickly. It'll look great one minute and then looks pretty outdated by the next.

Also a Subject You Should Cover Is That Why TV shows can't be trashy but movies get away with It all the time It's biased and I don't like that
yeah cg can be good
