Comment on Shazam’ Star Zachary Levi Calls Out Hollywood For Output Of “Garbage” Content

One of my biggest regrets in life is studying storytelling and scriptwriting because it made me aware of the freaking save the cat thing and ruined movies forever for me.

I can't watch a movie that is following the model non-cynically, and since most movies do follow it, well...

It's also made me dislike when an industry tries to push that there's an objectively correct way of doing something in an artform, but that's another story entirely.

This is why I can’t stand the MCU. Because it’s so painfully formulaic and everyone ACTS like it’s all original material in every movie.

I made the mistake of pointing out the Blue and Orange marketing trick to my wife, and goddamn it once you see it, it’s EVERYWHERE.

  Next up, tell her about color theory in general and how valid color combinations for characters are more limited than you thought. Show her how green goblin, piccolo and the joker share color identity due to this. That's why Spider-Man and Superman go to the same tailor! Etc etc

    That stems more from the limitations of the four-color process than anything else. That’s why Superman and Spider-Man share the exact same red and blue (cyan). I wouldn’t really use comic books as a yardstick for valid color combinations nor graphic design in general, of course with (few) exceptions.

    Hhhmm I was told to never go out of one of the colour harmony rules but that may very well have been a "learn how to walk before you can fly" thing, so you may be right.
