It is crazy-making and it’s one of the reasons 2022 to 2024 had such enormous flops. They just don’t have any control over budgets at all, and apparently thought the era of superhero billion dollar box offices was never gonna end. I’m picking on capeshit unfairly because even the supposed auteur movies had way too big of a budget - and you don’t even see it on screen, the effects look so bad lol (unless it’s an Avatar, like you said)
