I'm going to be honest, this is a huge nothingburger. How often do you pause and look at a crowd that's shown for a few seconds at most? Does this actually affect your viewing experience?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

It doesn't necessarily affect your viewing experience if you aren't paying attention to it, but I think the bigger problem is when these CGI characters become indistinguishable from humans so much that they start replacing humans in live action.

I thought so, but then I checked out the clip. It's hilariously bad, the crowd looks like 1st gen Asimo robots just making a hand motion in a loop. It's a lot worse in motion than in a still pic

Don't even have to pause it to see how bad it is. The reason this is newsworthy is because this is exactly the type of thing SAG AFTRA is striking against.
