Although it is now a much more effortless task to create the visual effects we see in movies with the developing technology, the increased convenience also greatly increases the rate of visual effects in movies. One of the first names that come to mind when it comes to visual effects is, of course, Marvel. But Marvel came to the fore in a very different way today.
Visual effects artists working with Marvel made quite remarkable claims about the company. While employees complained about how tiring and stressful working with Marvel was, many stated that they would never work with Marvel again, and that the contribution of working with Marvel to CV was not worth the sacrifices they made.

“Not worth the money”
There were almost no positive comments about Marvel under the hood in the claims made in the posts made for weeks under the r/VFX group on Reddit. The majority of those who commented on the sharing said that Marvel gave ‘nice money’, and stated that the money given was not worth the effort they spent. The shares made by some users were as follows:
“Frankly, I’m sick and tired of working on Marvel shows. Marvel probably has the worst production methodology and VFX management. They can never fix the look of the show before more than half of the time allotted for the show is over. Artists working on Marvel series are never paid as much as the amount of work they spend.”
“I request not to work on Marvel movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, they are becoming our biggest client. They are waiting for a series of options before they can change their mind three more times.”
“I’ve been at Marvel for almost three years. Welcome to the seventh floor of hell.”
“I’m on my third Marvel project in a row and I literally woke up at 5:30 am on a Saturday with the stress of ‘I don’t want to do this anymore. Now it’s 6 o’clock and I’m doing Reel to apply to a place that has projects outside of Marvel because I can’t do that anymore.”
“Marvel had grown men punching walls and throwing monitors out of stress. I lost myself a few times and saw the burden this could have on marriages. But his money was great. Forget about Marvel as a client, it’s not worth it to have his name on the credits.”
“It took me over six months to recover from WandaVision’s crisis. It’s not worth it. Not when there are better-run projects that look just as good out there.”
While Marvel continues to become dependent on visual effects day by day, it is not yet known how the reactions of visual effects artists will lead to changes in the company. On the other hand, these complaints are considered as an explanation for the bad visual effects in Marvel productions recently:
