I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

What do you mean? There are so many styles of animation, you mean like Pixar movies all look the same?

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Pixar, DreamWorks, and Illumination are the largest studios that make animated movies these days and they all have such generic character designs now. Very soft, very round, large eyes, large mouths, and overall visually boring.

And they often have the same cliche actions and expressions.

Okay, so not every movie, just some recent popular movies from the same year from two of the largest studios with personnel and historical ties, and I guess illumination is also 3d animation if a different character style.

I understand the gripe, but that's a very small section of animation.

I think it's weird to put illumination with the other two because while it's technically a financially successful studio, everything they put out is borderline bootleg quality compared to the other two.
