I hear a lot of people who follow the CW say that and I think they're just used to them. For someone who bombs in every other year for an episode because I'm an addict who needs new DC content pumped into my veins, I'm amazed at how cheap they are. Crisis looked like an animatic. I get that's pretty much impossible to do on television so we should cut them some slack, but it begs the question... why do it on television?
Why not do it on television? They had the multiverse set up, multiple shows, some of the major players in Crisis, etc.
Did they reach beyond their reach in some respects, maybe, and they didn't necessarily manage it as well as they could have but I respect the attempt.
I guess maybe I'm used to also watching tokusatsu where the effects are even more on a budget so it just doesn't seem all that noticeable to me.
That's fair. I'm still extremely salty about Corrigan walking up to say "yo I was The Spectre but I need a new guy now. Oliver, you can't act, why don't you be The Spectre?" My appreciation of Black Lightning be damned, the CW can never be forgiven for messing that up! :P
In seriousness, however, I saw some fights from Seasons 4-5 of Supergirl and the Supermen fight in Crisis looked really awful. Distressingly so. I understand this stuff is fake, I'm not saying it has to look realistic, but you have the opening fight of Stargirl which looked excellent but very fake. Then you have the usual CW. It's just written and executed poorly, at least in my viewings. Awesome for those who enjoy it, but thus far it hasn't been for me.
Even so, I'm giving Superman and Lois a chance despite my history with the show because I want to like it.

I am in the same boat.
I gave up on all the CW shows a while back, despite the kids still loving and watching them, but I tuned back in for Crisis only to throw my hands up at its "epic" conclusion of having everyone hold hands and send good vibes to Ollie while he went through the motions of tired fight choreography with Bad Cosplay Anti-Monitor on top of a hill outside of Vancouver.
I'm still hoping Superman & Lois is good, simply because I think the character can work well on TV, even if the results are often a mixed bag.
Like what was even the reasoning? They both have green hoods?!?
I know, I know. This is a Superman thread...But come on they butchered the Spectre!
Think they'll adopt a new Krypto? I don't care how bad the show is, you put a puppy Krypto on and I'm there for an episode at minimum.
They have something like five superhero shows. All require CGI. That's quite a budget to break up per show. I suppose if they had one, they might be doing better. Now they're adding another powers heavy show to the roster. If this Wonder Girl show gets off the ground, you can expect another one.
Assassinate Putin!
Well that's on them for not planning according to budget. If you know your show requires $3M in budget (just a random number) for CGI, and you have five shows and a budget of $10M, why would you do five for $2M and make sure none of them look good? Why not develop shows with leads and concepts which require less so that everything is at a higher level of quality?
Steel is a great character and concept but both were burned by a poorly produced movie. Something isn't always better than nothing.
