The deep irony: the most expensive productions are often the ugliest. Compare the tangible, location-shot grit of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) to the weightless, digital sludge of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023). The latter cost more to make but looks like a video game cutscene. The studio optimized for volume, not texture. Just as the majors abandoned subtlety, a new breed of studio emerged.

Until then, the machine will keep humming. But it hums the same tune, over and over again. And deep down, we all know it. The studio optimized for volume, not texture
