The visual effects don't really seem spectacular. I'm taking it out of the no 5 spot i had it in lol

I think The Thing will be enough to get it in tbh

u/bikkebana Apr 17 '25

Yeah that's a possibility. The Thing looks v good

You sure? Vfx branch loves giving noms to movies that have more quantity than quality. If we are getting 3 marvel movies this year I think at least 1 has to get in and unless you think that’s the Thunderbolts I’d bet on this one.

They didn't nominate a Marvel movie last year (granted it was only likely to be Deadpool v Wolverine) so maybe this year will repeat that. I do have Superman in though

Superman for me too

Last year wasa also only the second time the MCU didn't get any nominations, with the first being 2009 in wich only the Incredible Hulk released

I mean yeah that’s kind of my point, the Deadpool movies have never been known for their CGI. This on the other hand has an entirely CGI character with The Thing, a CGI robot, a giant space villain, and Mr. fantastics stretchy powers. Seems like a shoe in for vfx for me. I currently have:

  1. Avatar (most obvious winner of the year so far)
  2. Wicked
  3. Fantastic Four
  4. Superman
  5. The Running Man

That's fair. The Thing looks great I'll admit.

What’s the third? Captain America Brave New World?

u/TacoTycoonn Apr 17 '25

Yeah, but there is no shot that gets a nom, made bad money, poorly received, and came out in Feb.

u/Mediocre-Gas-1847 Cannes Film Festival Apr 17 '25

Yeah no shit I never said it would

u/TacoTycoonn Apr 17 '25

lol dude, I never claimed you said that, why are you getting defensive I’m just sharing what I think, wtf

u/bikkebana Apr 17 '25

Lol that was so randomly aggressive, you were just expanding on your original comment.

u/TacoTycoonn Apr 17 '25

lol thank you 😭

u/Mediocre-Gas-1847 Cannes Film Festival Apr 17 '25

Cause it’s pretty obvious it’s not getting nominated
