Video explains why Flash and average superhero movie CGI is terrible

[The Laughing Fish]

This guy claims he worked on The Flash as a production co-ordinator, and gives some insight about why shoddy CGI in superhero adaptations is very commonplace nowadays. Especially in The Flash. In the first video, he gives a sobering insight into why the studios don't care about the quality of special effects anymore, and in the second video, he gives other examples of digital artists getting overworked, such as Across the Spider-Verse.

Complaints in the digital effects industry about people being overworked as they try to meet the studios' unreasonable demands have been discussed for a while now. Last year, Marvel Studios were heavily criticised by anonymous people working in the effects industry for being an extremely difficult client to work with. The biggest problem, as the first video says, studios care more about impressing their shareholders by announcing large quantities of films rather than the actual quality.

Here's the thing though: why would any shareholder want to invest their money on DC projects knowing the brand has been tainted because of horrible mismanagement? If you think actors, writers and directors should reconsider having any involvement with DC after the latest string of flops, spare a thought for the investors who pour money into these money pits. And we're supposed to believe this DCU slate is going to get made without hassle?
