Apparently they did Old Cap really successfully, because I read an article that it made Evans' mom cry because of how much he looked like his grandpa
Woah..
so evans grandpa was joe biden cool
Oh snap.
I thought that the Old Captain America was not Chris Evans's role. That surprised me how makeup can change you in movies.
@@legitdude2744 oh god😭
This just goes to show that the guys off screen are just as important as the guys on screen.
Tazio Crawford Every 60 seconds, a minute passes in Africa.
Id say more important. Probably 60+% of the movie is cgi
And they get paid significantly less :(
This just goes to show that the rat on screen is just as important as the guys off screen
And credited less..
DC- “Here is a digital mustache”
Marvel- “So yeah we got a real rat”
the funny
DC is so far behind.
@@ardieraymundo2902 don't be like that bruh, they have do what they have to do
@@bolabundar3146 So don't take it seriously then, BRUH.
I just cant wait for dc to catch up and one day marvel and dc would do a cross over. Better happen before I die lol
There's no way that Cap's shield was CG
I refuse to believe it
The real thing is like 25 pounds, not easy to swing around or throw
@@Lurch685 Fun fact: on the set of Civil war/Winter Soldier both Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie managed to break around 4 shields because they were playing frisbee with it
@@kaleb8551 they probably have prop shields that are much lighter. The actual thing is hefty!
he said in an interview there were different types, a cgi one, a real one for show and a fake one for when he uses it to hit ppl
Idk how DC allowed Justice League’s effects to look like it came out of a 2010 video game
That moment when UA-cam has better behind the scenes content than the bonus features on the blu-ray.
I already know that yout comment is gonna be a top one.
HoustonProductions1 love your vids btw
Yeah I was so disappointed with the lack of bonus features
so i was planning on getting the bonus extras and what not but to what kind of disappointing levels are we talking about?
barbatos99 barely any visual effects in the making footage, around 4 deleted scenes and some honorable mentions for Black Widow, Stan Lee, Tony Stark and Cap
4:36 they literally even VFX'd Hulk's pores dude, this is insane
Of course. Any top notch cgi humanoid character has pores
Never played a video game? They've been doing that a long time ago.
They have very good cgi.
wonder if hulks blood is red or green
@@loreaver3882 purple
I still can't get over when Smart Hulk gives tacos to Scott. Too cute to handle.😂😂😂
Yeah and I hate when the others are just rude to him
If it's not for him they wouldn't even get a chance to bring everyone back
@@dijkstra261 yeah, I hated Rhodey and Nebula straight for 10 months man. I felt bad for him.
Rhodey still salty cause he beat him up in civil war and messed his back up !
Lol
This is why the "too much cgi" argument is frustrating to me. Technology is a huge part of our world, as it's allowing us to make better looking movies. As long as the effort is put in, you might not even know what's cgi 100% of the time. So what if not everything is real. Special effects are important. Just be cool.
STH that’s what I was thinking. I’m like how else do y’all think they get these kind of effects to look this realistic.
True but i don’t think it’s always a must. Think about Hector vs Achilles in Troy. That movie came out in 2004 and that fight scene is badass even today.
@@actavisprime514 You're right but as the above comment pointed out, if it looks realistic enough its not a hindrance to the film itself. Either practical or CGI I don't care as long as it looks good.
STH “too much CGI” means your movie looks outdated in 2 years if it’s crap CGI. Endgame and Infinity war have crap CGI. I bought those things on 4K Blu-ray and the CGI looks awful on my OLED tv. It’s also lazy. They CGI hair. Say what you will about Michael Bays stories but his action sequences and use of CGI are absolutely perfect. Along with Chris Nolan,Chad Stahelski and James Wan.
STH too much CGI is boring to look at
I think the most impressive visual feat in both these movies were the environments to be honest. Half of the environments were CG and we didn’t even notice.
I would love to have their asset library..
All the environments were CG and we only noticed half the time
I was blown away hearing the glass building in the cap vs Cap fight scene was all CGI, it's unbelievable.
i thought they built the cap vs cap scene, but no.... all cgi, quite impressive
i would love a video about the environments. this was mostly about character VFX, which are INSANELY AMAZING, so i would love a sort of peak or breakdown of the environment making process
Its incredible how much of the movie is visual effects. Genuinely can't tell whether some parts are real or not
Well at least now we know the rats are real.
I legit thought that time travel suits were real.
Finding out the white suits weren’t real blew my mind.
@eating sugar no papa Yep, no actors even involved. This is what pixar movies look like now.
eating sugar no papa no it’s not, some of them are actual suits, even Tony has a real chest piece for some shots.
“So in the case of Captain America what would he look like?”
Me: Joe Biden
nah he would look like prince harry
5:36 Ah so it was Biden
Clint Eastwood
😂😂😂
So True HAHAHA
The cgi team had a much more difficult task than the actors themselves
underrated comment man
CGI team needs more credit than the actors. I remember Jennifer Lawrence said all she does is stand, do her lines then gets out and the behind the scenes does everything. She also said in an interview that sometimes she doesn't deserve the credit because most of the movie was CGI. I am not saying actors are worthless, they make the movie, everyone has an important role but I think with these huge CGI movies the behind the scenes team should get paid more.
everyone is doing their job. it's tough for other people but not for those who already actually excel at it
18:17 Explaining how the suit is fighting back against the Infinity Stones to protect Tony. I've seen Endgame like 20 times and I hadn't noticed that.
Thats like 60 hours and 20 minutes
i have seen it 6 times and hadn't noticed it too.
If that is the case then the effect has failed to communicate the shot.
I noticed it on my second viewing. I got really annoyed with people who didn't understand how Tony was able to withstand the stones better than Thanos or Hulk. You see it rapidly eating away at the suit
@guaca mole Oh i misread your comment. The Mark 50 suit is definitely made to use the stones should it need to.
All the MCU's CGI is honestly second to none, they've managed to take characters that are over the top comic book fantasy and bring them to be on-screen and make them look *_believable_* and that is something I have yet to see in other comic book-based movies and other sci-fi movies whatsoever. KUdos.
Movieflix PLUS trash.
The mandalorian visual effects are better in my opinion
It’s funny cuz the hulk looks real. I mean as real as huge giant green rage monster can look. But I actually think he looks pretty real
In a decade we're going to think this Thanos looked terrible.
@@fenkers3249 so basically any franchise under disneys funding lol
"That is actually a practical, acting rat. I don't have his name." This is a set of words I never thought I'd hear but I'm happy I heard it.
I really wish we knew the name of the rat who saved the universe. I guess we'll never know.
I’m sorry but the start of the final battle where they come out of the portals in my opinion is one of the best scenes to ever be made, literal goosebumps every single time I see it, I think the music is a perfect choice aswell, perfect all around
I love how she owns the pride and accomplishment of what she and the talented teams behind these movies were able to achieve. The perfect balance of acknowledgement for the others on the project without being that fake over-humble-mess that sometimes comes with such large feats. So much respect for the marvel vfx team
Yes. She clearly is a class act. Genuinely appreciative and proud of her team’s efforts
Perfectly balanced-
@@j7055 as all things should be

Yea
Avengers: Endgame should win the Oscar for best visual effects.
Even ignoring my fanboy nature, I can't really think of any other movie that deserves it.
The only Oscar it deserves
@@tranquiloclub50 nope
Along with either Best Picture and/or Best actor for RDJ. It's LONG OVERDUE at this point.
Thejus Rao The Irishman is probably gonna be better tbh
There's no Avengers without Tony. He begins and he ends an era
Just waiting for Phase 4 tbh
Calm down, it would be boring if it has no ending, so the phase 4 is new beginning
Lol Nope
Did anyone ask?
dani efr that’s true, he began the avengers, and now he’s gone (I think he started it).
'AVENGERS!!!!! Assemble...",gives me goosebumps every freaking time.
The best VFX is the kind that you don't notice.
So true!
Those suits
Best praise you can give a VFX artist is “I had no idea there was an effect there”.
Firetail neither is real life, just look at old films and tell me honestly that they look real and natural
i notice them :/
Having Sean Gunn's face on Thor's fat belly made me laugh.

Thank god endgame came out before COVID. The experience of seeing it on opening week in a packed theatre with all that energy and excitement was really wonderful. I can’t imagine experiencing something like that again in a movie.
I did not have enough respect for the people behind the stage.
5:06
i'm watching the hulk literally come to life and all i can think is "WAIT, THOSE ARE CG SAUSAGES ON THAT TABLE"
LMAO I thought the same thing
Haha haha I’m dead
They have to be because he interacts with them
Ah mah gad
I thought they were giant kebabs.
"It was supposed to be felt by the audience, losing their heroes." Shows Thanos disappearing
Corban Finn he was my hero
João Pedro Souto that’s weird
@@joaopedrosouto6576 same
Yeah?... What's your problem?
@@hi-cz8zd *you're weird*
These special effects producers really deserve more credit so much of the mcu wouldn’t have been possible without them
The attention to detail in the CGI is absolutely insane and definitely what sells it. I mean, it all goes back to Captain America. That was and is an incredible display of cgi done right.
The real superheroes of the movie...the VFX team!!! 👏🏼
And the real villians of Spiderman Homecoming
When she talked about the cap vs cap scene and how much they had to considering/how perfect everything had to be I actually got a little stressed
*This video contains spoilers*
Me:- Is there anyone left who hasn’t watched endgame yet?
In Marvel fans, probably not
up until the pandemic, (of the MCU) I'd only seen Iron Man 1, Iron Man 2, Avengers 1, and Captain Marvel in theaters...everything else I experienced solely in the last few weeks. And I'm now one of the biggest fans. Watched all of Agent Carter, too...and halfway through Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I thought old Cap was Chris Evans in make-up. Wow, kudos to the old guy playing him!
5:56
It is Chris Evans in makeup. The old guy was just a reference for the CGI touch-up later
The amount of skill and knowledge that these guys have to make such an incredible movie is unbelievable!!
I like how they hide shortcuts through editing and blocking, like cutting to avoid seeing how Thor's beard gets crammed in the helmet, and having Hulk take a bite of ice cream while Rocket blocks his face.
This must be the most detailed movie ever!!
I would pay to watch a 20 volume real breakdown by the VFX team.

I’m honestly impressed how they did the cap fight scene I honestly couldn’t even imagine that being CGI
True, and like she said props to the stunt performers that took the fall for it.
Chris Hemsworth. The man who needs make up and prosthetycs to be ugly.
And he still wasn't ugly enough!! He was just fat n had longer hair n beard.
More like: Chris Hemsworth. The man who needs make up and prosthetics to try and be ugly but still fails.

How tf are they able to just completely take someone out of a shot and just replace them with something else, like rocket. Wtf?? Still amazes me
Endgame studios: Let's digitally recreate Manhattan's tallest skyscraper made entirely out of reflective metal and glass for a fight scene
Also Endgame studios: Let's bring in a real rat for 30 seconds of screentime
It really is probably cheaper to hire a rat than hire someone to build a rat

Yeah it looks like real life
@Kelvin Durango painted the.face
I have no idea that rocket is played by Sean Gunn and voice covered by Bradley cooper.
WoW!!!
Yeah, Bradley Cooper changes his voice very nicely for playing Rocket. Been trying to notice where his regular voice comes in since the first Guardians, but never managed to. He's pretty much a different person as Rocket in my opinion.
Your telling me out of al the monumental amount of CGI all these movies take
The dam rat was _REAL?!?_
16:10
Dang, Bradley Cooper is not getting enough credit. No one else could be Rocket
So they weren't even wearing the suit WTF

19:22 Goosebumps every time I hear it 💗
14:05 So Chris Evans just lost the fight to his double?
19:25 It was worth the wait to hear Cap drop that line!
Been almost an year to the Endgame, Tony's death scene still made me cry.
Long story short:
"We had nothing ready and nothing planned , so it's mostly digital."
Except the rat.
Except that rat. He was ready af.
In Civil war, I think Marvel achieved the worst CGI ever when they were running behind the cars. Long story short, a "Corridor View" video, with one of the stunts in there (the one who made the body replacement for black panther) and the running was over a carpet. All Practical. O_o
Well they said they planned and extensively tested Thanos long before they even started shooting. The amount of planning that had to go into this, speaking as a filmmaker, gives me secondhand stress just thinking about it.
@@djAstraim A lot was actually done practically. Corridor Crew did a video on it. Also how do you not say the final fight scene in Black Panther?
