That's a Nolan thing like how Dunkirk used no green screen.

I think Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings embody the transition from old school camera tricks to CGI as they leaned very heavily into set and prop design and as a result have aged very gracefully as movies

I think the first HP movie was more magical than the latter ones as they felt too "Marvel CGI" for me.

Marvel movies have become tiresome for me, too much CGI that does not tell any interesting story. Old animated Disney movies are more rewatchable.

		I like to see marvel as the state of the art/tech demo for CGI - this is what is achievable with near limitless budget I still find Infinity War and Endgame visually satisfying spectacles but I am a forgiving viewer for those movies

		And they cost 300 million to make be cause of the CGI fest they are, hence need close to a billion in profits when considering marketing and the theater cut. So the cost of CGI and the enshittification of movies seems to be a good analogy to the usefuleness of LLM/AI. Not a flex.
