What are the views of the artists on Reddit?
There was a thread by Independent-Ad419 expressing their frustration, “I am quite frankly sick and tired of working on Marvel shows”, Reddit user Independent-Ad419 expressed their frustration with the studio.” They added that “Marvel has probably the worst methodology of production and VFX management out there.”
They continue by saying, “They can never fix the look for the show before more than half the allocated time for the show is over. The artists working on Marvel shows are definitely not paid equivalent to the amount of work they put in.”
To this thread, others reply by agreeing with the fact. samvfx2015 says, “On Thor, they ask for a complete mini-sequence 2 or 3 weeks before the deadline.”
“I request to not work on [Marvel] movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, they’re becoming our biggest client. They expect a smorgasbord of options so they can change their mind three more times” says Mickeym00m00.

“Marvel has seen grown men punch walls and throw monitors from stress. I broke down a couple of times and have seen the strain it can put on marriages. But hey the $$ was fantastic. Fuck Marvel as a client, the credit name is not fucking worth it”, shares Mickeym00m00.
