You ever think about how CGI often gets criticized in film for overuse when traditional would've worked better, but that in Hollywood, stunt performers are unionised, whereas VFX artists aren't, and it's easier to crunch and abuse those VFX artists before shitcanning them?

I mean it's also objectively true that no matter what you do, live stunts have more chance of going wrong and hurting someone than CGI

You can in fact work someone to death. Sitting at a desk.

I said "more chance" not "no chance" Look I'm not at all in favor of the slave labor conditions VFX houses work under but I did kind of bristle at the possibly unintentional implication that VFX-heavy movies are "bad" movies and practical stunts are "better"

I'm all for stunt performers existing and getting paid well for what they do too But I think it was always ridiculous and perverse that there were ever people who fell and broke their necks just to shoot a damn movie and make it look good and that becoming obsolete is positive
