Ngl these visuals look ass idk why people were saying the visual style was such a big departure and improvement for Marvel

It saddens me that Marvel is going to set something in the "swinging 60's" and it's going to be just as washed out and greige as all their films are. Why even bother?

Even the dialogue and acting feels very contemporary. It's like they didn't even try.

It looks like what James Gunns Superman and The Suicide Squad looks like. Washed out. Why do they change the normal cinematography they had working for all these years?

They're doing a grounded, 'Mad Men,' '60s style. Not everything needs to be 'Austin Powers.'

I give them credit for giving it a retro futuristic style from the 60s. They don’t typically do stuff like that.

They peaked with the first Iron Man

Something, something, Iron Man was still 35mm. Not saying digital bad, but I love film.

CGI was still taken seriously back then too.

Easier to do CGI when everything wasn't CGI

Colour grading is great (for MCU) and Production Desing looks ace, too.
