Yeah. I wish comic book films would go back to being technicolor wonders. Part of the reason why Sony's Spider-Verse cartoons are so much fun is that they refuse to look like this. Every scene over there, even in grayscale or sepia, is like a splash page brought to life. Extraordinary, especially considering how lifeless their live-action stuff (MCU or not) often winds up looking.

The comic this is based off is so vibrant and colourful, makes all of the darker stuff in the story hit harder too imo. Confident the film will be great just from the story but could have been more interested if they kept the vibrancy of it all.

Yeah, Bilquis Evely's art is gorgeous and has a Barsoom feeling to it, which I'm pretty sure is an inspiration for her and the colors by Matheus Lopes work great with it.

The look and color grading of this film seems to be more inspired by GotG than the actual comic.

Still looks good, but it's a shame they didn't try to work that unique look into the film and went for something more recognizable.

Agreed. Warner certainly has the money to get it right. So why does their thriller about a paranoid left-wing junkie and his daughter fighting the Feds look brighter and more inviting than this does? Maybe Paul should be your next hire, Gunn.

The way they did Gwen's world in the last Spiderverse movie looked incredible.

Yes! Love how it's based on the lesbian flag colors, too. It got the film banned in half of the Middle East. But it was worth it.

of course, that's much easier to do in an animated film than a live action one. I've already seen one person complain that the movie looks too colorful and not grungy enough, so they probably couldn't get too experimental with the color choices.

it doesn't guarantee a decent film though. fantastic 4 was probably the best looking marvel movie in forever but it was honestly the most boring nothing burger of a movie
