Something that always leaves your mouth open in the projects of Marvel are the visual effects, because since Hombre de Hierro started the MCU the budget level was made clear. However, those of us who are outside do not know the background of this work, and now the point of view of the artists in charge of the work has been made known.
Many of them shared stories of impractical deadlines and immense pressure leading to stress and unsatisfactory end products. Many have requested not to be involved in a brand project again, stating that the studio has the “worst VFX management out there”. These stories have been made known through the forums of Reddit related to the topic.
In a thread titled “Frankly, I’m sick and tired of working on Marvel shows,” user Independent-Ad419 expressed his frustration:
Marvel has probably the worst VFX production and management methodology out there. They can never fix the look of the show before more than half of the allotted time is up. The artists who work on the shows are definitely not paid for the amount of work they do.
Here more comments from different users
I ask not to work on Marvel movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, they are becoming our biggest customer. They expect a smorgasbord of options to be able to change their mind three times or more.
I’m at almost three years in a row with Marvel. Welcome to the seventh level of hell.
I’m on my third Marvel project in a row and literally woke up at 5:30am on a Saturday with the stress of ‘I don’t want to do this anymore. It’s 6 am now and I’m doing a reel to apply somewhere that has other projects besides Marvel because I can’t do this anymore.
Marvel has seen grown men punch walls and knock over monitors from stress. I’ve broken down a couple of times and I’ve seen the strain it can put on marriages. But hey, the $$ was fantastic. To hell with Marvel as a client, the name isn’t worth it.
It took me more than six months to recover from the WandaVision crisis. Not worth it. Not when there are better executed projects that look just as good.
For now, Marvel He has not come out to give statements regarding the entire wave of comments. But without a doubt, the tension is felt among all the former workers who have not had the dignified treatment with which they must comply.
