I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Every animated movie looks the same now

You're wrong, and here's just one example to prove it: Into the Spiderverse

Here's another. Puss in boots

I think the new Disney movie, Wish, copied its style though.

How bout a third? Aqua Teen Hunger Force movies!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Teenage mutant ninja turtles.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

And the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie. The sad fact is that these are the exceptions that prove the rule.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yup. That movie doesn't even look like itself.

What do you mean? There are so many styles of animation, you mean like Pixar movies all look the same?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Pixar, DreamWorks, and Illumination are the largest studios that make animated movies these days and they all have such generic character designs now. Very soft, very round, large eyes, large mouths, and overall visually boring.

And they often have the same cliche actions and expressions.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Okay, so not every movie, just some recent popular movies from the same year from two of the largest studios with personnel and historical ties, and I guess illumination is also 3d animation if a different character style.

I understand the gripe, but that's a very small section of animation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think it's weird to put illumination with the other two because while it's technically a financially successful studio, everything they put out is borderline bootleg quality compared to the other two.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really think they're re-using the assets for all the characters now, with slight tweaks from movie to movie.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Disney has been doing this for the last 80 years or so.
