Different things, bad comparison.

Stylized cartoons do not even try to mimic reality or go for ultra-realism and don't risk hitting the uncanny valley.

The 40s Superman was Kirk Alyn, not George Reeves.

[(Anonymous)]

So, your standards for CGI are perfect, and everyone else's personal preferences should be lowered accordingly or they're "snobby"? Yeah, that seems logical.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah imo the anti-aging stuff looks kinda weird but still better than like, most bad makeup. I feel like the aversion has got to be something beyond "it just looks bad" like people are weirded out by the whole concept? Or maybe I just don't get other people's tastes? idk

Nope.

[(Anonymous)]

That is a weird comparison, given there are so, so many different ways of doing special effects available today. One of the problems with CGI is that many studios don't want to pay enough or give enough time for it to get to a level of quality that isn't off-putting, so it's rushed work by a lot of stressed people for a special effects house that may go bankrupt.

[(Anonymous)]

That's like comparing rocks to chewed-up bubblegum.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, I'd rather see them have a cartoon episode like Fringe did with Leonard Nimoy! (Or, way back, Madonna did for some scenes in her video for "Music", to disguise that she was pregnant at the time.)

The de-aging stuff (or bringing back dead actors) is always creepy.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd take a stylistic choice done well over rushed and poorly executed CGI any day.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope.
1) different technologies
2) stylistic choice
3) you actually don't know if people in 1940s were in such a awe of this effect
4) this exact problem can be solved with hiring different actors. Which is good. Actors should be fucking hired, especially older actors instead of old-make up or younger less known actors. "but they are not as goooood as this famous actor". This famous actor also isn't good with CGI erasing their face

[(Anonymous)]

The reason I'm against Hollywood CGI-ing anything and everything, including making older actors look younger is it is actively harming the system/art in itself.

A refusal to let the passing of the torch to new talents keeps the system stagnant and eventually there is nothing/no one new to replace and evolve the system and the art.

That's actually a great explanation.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks, Secret Maker! :)

[(Anonymous)]

I thought that scene was really cool and fun. =)
I like the explanation OP

I'm an Olde. Saw this on HBO I think, back when it first came out (Secret Policemans Other Ball is good too, as is Secret Policemans Private Parts). It's a classic! Great taste, anon!

I’m sure worse shows have been watched for similar reasons.

General comments:

(If the thread contains spoilery/triggery content please warn/post as 2nd comment so it collapses!
Please collapse images, too!)

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and I'll try my best to use an appropriate image choice.

Just to clarify - it's my intention to make all the secrets left in this thread, so even if they're not marked claimed, they will be made. I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker

P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.
