Pretty sure they pay well.

Because once certain scenes of nostalgia gets into your head, literally the moment you first see it in an era affects you the most, thats why people still think Jurassic park, Lotr etc looks better, but a full back to back comparsion people would lose their mind, with the level of quality e.g. Rings of power have, now each era is amazing with the tools these studios have access too, but like you said, people are so spoiled now so they cant tell how good it has become even if it is right infront of their eyes. Especially us (like me) millenials, we have seen the progression and evolution that we are so stuck in the past of imaginations.

@@mikebrown41182 idk I think it looks a lot cartoonier than most of the practical stuff from yesteryear and has less of an impact Not everything is automatically better because it’s newer Not criticizing the artists, they put in a good effort, just the initial philosophy of avoiding doing most in camera or on location (like the original LOTR trilogy and Jurassic Park) or being strategic with the VFX placement isn’t great It all feels kind of claustrophobic to me like it was shot indoors

It’s absolutely breathtaking. I need a copy of the file for Eregion’s 3D model to play around with. I want to explore all the intricacies of the city so bad
