I really just don't get what is supposed to make this movie worth a damn. Because it's an original IP? Like Pixar hasn't had hundreds of those? I see the "for the art" crowd talking about it like we need to make a last stand here or art dies, and it's just confusing to me. More than being ugly, the film has no visual identity. Incredibles, that had a visual identity to it, a look to it, it was stylish. The Art Deco / meta-aware Silver Age comic book thing, and the cool costume designs, the stylized character shape language. I even watched that gay Kpop powerpuff girls movie last night purely on the strength of the visuals - at least it did the Spiderverse lo-fi framerate thing and had some genuine freakout anime toon expressions that you pretty much never see in western 3D feature films. This shit just looks old, a decade behind, and so tired.
Make your shit look good for Christ's sake. Take a risk, rather than being safe AND lame at the same time.
