‘They could have just worn the costumes’: Marvel VFX artist says what the fans are all thinking about the MCU’s reliance on CGI

There was a point back in early 2017 to mid-2019 when Marvel and the MCU were practically synonymous with quality entertainment. Back-to-back we got films like Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: Far From Home. As a longtime MCU fan, I’m not alone in considering that time the highest point in the franchise’s career. Sadly, come 2023, it is clear that the studio has hit what we all hope is the last stage in its descent to rock bottom. And yes, we’re talking about the VFX-sized elephant in the room. 

VFX isn’t the biggest and only factor that goes into a quality Marvel film, but since we’re talking about a made-up world in which sorcerers, witches, gods, and hulks run amok, it’s a pretty big deal. As pointed out by Michael Schulman at The New Yorker in a recent exposé on the studio, the problem has become pervasive and was most evident in Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
