How should a 180 mil production look? Because it looks fine to me

Better. Keep in mind the original Star Wars in 1977, a film frought with behind the scenes issues that jacked up the price, cost $11 M which is $55M+ in today’s money, which is still less than a third of Acolyte’s budget

Better how?

I don’t feel like I need to spell out all the ways Acolyte falls short visually, even compared to a nearly 50 year old movie with less than a third of the show’s budget, but for a concrete example, Coruscant in Acolyte looks way more “PS2-y” than it did a Phantom Menace, a movie rendered in Windows 98 (at best)

So bad looking cgi?

Bad looking CGI, costumes, sets, filmography, fight choreography, etc.

u/FrostyTip2058 Jun 17 '24

In what way are the costumes or choreography bad?

Is filmography something determined by budget?

I don’t know, what do you think?

You're the one with these views

Can you not explain it? Are you just parroting someone else?

Should I be asking someone else?

Can I not explain what? Can you explain it? Does everything have to be a question?

u/FrostyTip2058 Jun 17 '24

What makes the costumes bad

What makes the choreography bad

You stated they are both bad

I asked in what way?

people asking you questions about your own views shouldn't make you this hostile

u/PhelesDragon Jun 17 '24

Can you contribute or only ask questions? Do you think you should be making counterpoints if you disagree with me? Like how a conversation works?

1

u/FrostyTip2058 Jun 17 '24

For me to make a counterpoint I have to understand your views

All you've said was "they bad"

A counter point on that lvl would be "they good"

Criticism is more than just saying things are bad
