No Mutants Allowed

All the more tragic as it's not needed in most of the cases they use it. I miss puppets and painted backdrops.

That won't cut it when all their projects are designed around the very idea of pumping as much cgi splooge as possible.

Still... Puppets, painted backdrops, and practical effects in general can still work wonders given the right team. And CGI can help enhance them. I don't feel that CGI should often comprise the entirety of any special effects shot. Only when absolutely necessary you know?

Tell that to Disney and their Churn out as much cgi splooge as possible plan. Spiderman can't even put on his suit manually and even the "home made costume" is cgi.
