Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts I get both has unique visuals but BNW being in the mix is a bit of an 🙄 I don't even think Red Hulk looked that great.
exaviyur2025-11-27 01:49
BNW looked like ass. Scene with Sam landing in his suit should be disqualifying for this award all on its own.
Uncanny_Doom2025-11-27 02:00
This feels like just talking shit because the movie wasn't well-received.
I didn't like it overall but Red Hulk looked fantastic and the scene of him transforming was great. Movies not being good doesn't mean there is *nothing* good about them.
Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-27 03:00
I'm not sure it was anything we hadn't seen already that was recycled from Banner's scenes.
27Rench272025-11-27 04:16
How many different ways can Hulk turning into Hulk be shown? It’s “VFX”, not “Original Transformations” lol
Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-27 04:46
Yeah so why should they get an Oscar for doing the same shit all over again?
Way to miss the point
DeferredFuture2025-11-27 03:33
Red Hulk did look incredible but it’s not enough to warrant a VFX nomination. If everything else was solid, and the movie got good reviews, it would have a slot. There’s 3 superhero films alone that had VFX work on par with or better and those all got good reviews.
There was too many scenes in BNW that looked awful, even if there was standout moments
chickenkebaap2025-11-27 14:57
That was the first hulk transformation on screen since the first avengers movie
vinnybawbaw2025-11-27 02:16
The tiamut fight scene has some pretty good shots too
PikesPique2025-11-27 01:48
I regret the time and money I spent watching Brave New World in a theater.
DeferredFuture2025-11-27 02:01
Hopefully Fantastic Four gets nominated.
It’s ranked #6 on goldderby so it may not, but I think it’s definitely the best VFX we’ve had all year (Avatar will surpass it)
Cultural_Champion8382025-11-27 04:51
it definitely has a shot, but you know how these awards can be so unpredictable
spidedd2025-11-27 05:01
The use of real costumes and miniatures hopefully at least earns a nod to help show studios you don't have to go full cgi all the time
CutMeLoose792025-11-27 02:04
None of the MCU movies deserve visuals awards. They all have that very fake rushed CGI look.
NowWeGetSerious2025-11-27 02:06
Fantastic Four was fantastic...
CutMeLoose792025-11-27 02:16
It was fine. Nothing special in terms of visuals.
Conscious_Test_79542025-11-27 02:47
Disagree. Fantastic Four visuals were amazing.
My favourite scene of the year (in terms of visuals) is the black hole sequence.
Avatar will win the award anyway.
CutMeLoose792025-11-27 03:25
I still think the movie had the very fake CGI look to it. I don't remember being wowed visually by any scenes in it. Black hole scene was cool, but just about anything in Avatar looks far more real.
AnySpirit6482025-11-27 02:04
I gotta be honest here, i didn't find brave new world that terrible. It has some qualities to it while being incredibly generic and missing a compelling villain or interesting battles
And i might be the only person who likes Sam Wilson
animekiddkappa2025-11-27 02:51
Well, I'm another. Sam Wilson is great. He's like Steve Rogers but without superpowers.
Brave New World was an OK MCU movie. Not as terrible as the internet makes it out to be, but it is rather severely limited creatively. It's like the director wanted to do a few awesome things but the studio tamped it down.
27Rench272025-11-27 03:41
The air combat was absolutely baller, no matter what you think of the movie
animekiddkappa2025-11-27 03:54
Definitely
Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-27 02:59
I like Sam Wilson. Not so much the actor.
And yeah it was incredibly generic. I both vaguely do and vaguely don't remember the whole thing. But also don't feel like I'm missing much of anything at all.
thelazeone2025-11-27 03:42
I am too a fan of Sam Wilson he is not Steve but to me he doesn't have to be
JackMorelli132025-11-27 03:47
I love Sam Wilson cap. He deserved a better movie
Chiefmeez2025-11-29 19:42
I think the movie was good but there was some production stuff that seemed to hold it back a bit from its potential
magical_midget2025-11-27 06:09
Sam is great, the movie was okeish. People would hate me, but thunderbolts was just a bit better, like if new world was a 6, thunderbolts was barely a 7.
I think the discourse online makes it look like thunderbolts was this master piece and new world was a student film. They are closer than the fans would like to admit.
Equivalent-Garlic1002025-11-28 11:29
I think Thunderbolts is far far worse than what the internet makes out. It abandoned basically every character's previous connections and traits in order to force them into the lonely team narrative, and ended with them aiding and abetting the villain (Val) in getting away with her crimes. For fame and public attention, basically. It actively made me dislike every character. I'd previously like Bucky, Yelena and Ava but Thunderbolts made them sell-outs. (In no world would "We own you now." actually stick with someone as corrupt and connected as Val.)
alphafire6162025-11-27 11:40
I love Sam. Just hate that they didnt lean into his strengths as a character in Brave new world
ChaoticCaptain1772025-11-27 19:14
Nah you're not the only one. I like Sam and I wish brave new world was a better movie
BenCisco2025-11-28 22:35
Narrator: Speaker is not the only one.
Lucky-Evidence75522025-11-27 02:40
we world definitely has its moments, but sam wilson is the real mvp for sure
AValorantFan2025-11-27 02:48
Out of all of of the Marvel features I hope BNW gets nominated, it has some really good creature effects
CaptHayfever2025-11-27 06:12
...There aren't any creatures in that movie?
AValorantFan2025-11-27 06:25
red hulk is a creature effect
TAL0IV2025-11-27 03:18
Off Marvel topic: Did anyone else think Sinners was...just ok?
I felt premise/story were great..but when the vampires showed up at the club, the movie got really clunky.
Characters randomly jumping to conclusions/awkwardly interacting (when Cornbread tried to re-enter the club)
Bad fight choreography/Camera work in the final fight..
NyriasNeo2025-11-27 05:33
Why for BNW? BNW has not done any sfx that we have not seen before. Falcon wing action .. check. Hulk (yes, they change the color) transformation and action ... check. Military hardware (planes and carrier and what-not) ... also check.
AValorantFan2025-11-27 06:27
You’ve seen the same visual effects in past films for all the other films so this is a moot point, it has some incredible set pieces and visual effects work especially in the Red Hulk model that feels somewhat worthy of a nomination
DeferredFuture2025-11-27 11:02
Worthy of a nomination over what movies exactly?
I’m just genuinely curious what slot Brave New World should take out of the 5 nominees. We had 2 other MCU films this year alone, both had better and more consistent VFX than BNW.
For every great “Red Hulk” shot, there was an equally terrible cherry blossom green screen shot. BNW simply was not consistent enough to warrant a nomination. Especially over 3 superhero films that were more consistent and had higher highs. This isn’t even counting likely non-superhero nominees, such as Avatar, F1, Frankenstein, Wicked, Mission Impossible, etc
AValorantFan2025-11-27 16:22
Infrequent “bad” composition work doesn’t render the cgi work that already exists as bad. There’s a wonky vfx shot in all of these movies including F4 and Thunderbolts. BNW still has some of the most effective visual effects of the year from literally all of the Red Hulk stuff (from facial to performance capture) and the entire Tiamut flight sequence that easily puts it ahead of the other 2.
And arguing about it really doesn’t matter since Superman is far and away the clear pick for the superhero slot on VFX nomination this year.
CaptHayfever2025-11-27 06:14
If Brave New World is in the top 20 for VFX, then there can't be much more than 20 effects films out this year.
On the other hand, Thunderbolts & First Steps are real contenders.
runeandlazer2025-11-27 06:32
Clayton mentioning everything except thunderbolts in the paragraphs while saying there's seven disney entries but only a pair from marvel dont piss me off
SeekerVash2025-11-27 07:08
Fantastic 4 had \*a lot\* of praise for the space scene.
But it's going up against Avatar. I don't see any way it's beating Avatar in a visual effects category.
Especially since the current momentum is against superhero movies, and awards tend to avoid pop culture movies. There's a lot against Fantastic 4 there.
Greygor2025-11-27 11:05
Got to say, FF has to be a front runner
crockoreptile2025-11-27 12:38
ELECTRIC STATE SWEEP
Goku0472025-11-27 13:44
I think fantastic four is a better candidate in production design
-_The_Dark_Knight_--2025-11-27 17:15
I hope F4 gets nominated... It just looked fantastic!
