I was worried as soon as the “GMO cost $15 million” mindvirus got started that it would be weaponized for bad faith arguments. To replicate Godzilla Minus One, you need a leader with an unhealthy approach to work/life to throw himself into hours of work. Another way to get that budget is to exploit the shit out of your workers
There is obviously a ton of waste in Western entertainment budgets, particularly from Disney. But online commenters are doing the work of Disney’s executives by holding up an outlier as an example of the new benchmark for budget success. You shouldn’t fixate on the profitability of the endeavor, but instead on the effectiveness of the investment.
First of all… This is the most bloated, ChatGPT article ever.
Second. Godzilla Minus One just looks OKAY. Let’s not kid ourselves here. When half your story takes place in very simple, small sets, and another 40% can be shot in a water sound stage or on the open water with little set design needed, no shit it’s gonna save you a lot of money.
Do people think these Star Wars sets just exist already or something? They take huge teams to conceive of and dress them. And then you’ve got the volume stages where not only are you spending a fuckload to rent out for the day, but your CG artists have to generate those environments ahead of time.
Articles like these are fucking idiotic.

Yeah i do. After the new movies, several tv shows, and the galaxys edge theme parks they have a decade plus of star wars specific production infrastructure to draw on. They’re not starting from scratch on this show.
Absurd amounts of cgi will do that.
Not that I think that CGI is cheap, but spending millions in computer graphics with today’s powerful hardware sounds absurd. So, something else must be it.
Edit: Oh, please. CGI is cheaper than actual props. ET the movie would be way cheaper to remake today than 40 years ago.
It’s still human intensive to actually make. Also, when nearly every scene has something that was cgi it really adds up fast.
The Acolyte. All my friends said it was such utter shit that I didn’t even bother to give it a chance.
Your friends are morons. There are three episodes out and they’re all pretty good so far but they story will have to pay off. It’s not even possible to know if it’s shit yet because the it’s just getting started lol. Imagine going to see a movie, leaving after 30 minutes and then telling everyone how bad of a movie it was. You didn’t see the movie idiot, why are you commenting on its quality?
Your friends are morons.
IMDB 3.5
Hmm. So clearly most think the episodes blew chunks…

If the first 30 minutes are total garbage then yeah it doesn’t seem great for the rest of the movie
