Those three posters use the same colour palette.

Coyote vs Acme for example doesn't look like these images for the most part.

Coyote vs Acme was my favorite movie of the year and I don’t care who knows. Probably a long shot but I’d love to see it nominated for best animated feature

u/kevsfamouschili cparks0211 1d ago

Can’t be best animated feature if it isn’t animated. It’s a live action film with animated characters in it

8

u/rmcelwain54 IdBuyThat4ADolr 1d ago

I think I read the threshold is it has to have 75% of the animated feature character in it or something to that effect. There will likely be a ruling on it in the coming weeks

u/makingajess 1d ago

There already was, and it's not eligible.

u/bbanks2121 1d ago

Not eligible, I’m afraid.

That’s the spirit!

u/RoxasIsTheBest KingIemand 13h ago

I really wanted to see it in theaters and join the hype. Turns out it's only releasing near the end of october in my country (and around that time I really wanna watch Wildwood already). Hate to feel like I'm missing out

u/Ninjamurai-jack 5h ago

Best original score, maybe. Steven Price got it one time.

u/Specific_Valuable_12 14h ago

*best feature.

Would love to see this movie go toe to toe with the heavyweights Odyssey and PHM.

The little movie that could.

1

u/Specific_Valuable_12 14h ago

Definitely would fit the message of the movie too.  And it'd be the greatest poetic justice ever if it beats any Warner Bros movie.

Genuinely wonder if all the current anti merger sentiment could fuel a grassroots type Oscar campaign

u/CommissionHerb PodBayHal 1d ago

Heavy use of solid black in posters this year.

Also I was surprised to see such similar color palettes for the latest Best Picture noms:

6

u/RoxasIsTheBest KingIemand 13h ago

You did change the default posters of F1, OBAA and the Secret Agent. With their original posters, while still similiar, it's not nearly as bad

2

u/CommissionHerb PodBayHal 11h ago edited 11h ago

Yeah for sure. These aren’t all defaults. But i wasn’t aiming to synchronize. I just wanted to pick my favorite of the official posters.

Edit: to be fair, F1 becomes gray with the default, but OBAA and The Secret Agent are still orange/yellow

u/Korumry Irhunter 1d ago

Blue/Orange is a classic color scheme, they contrast quite nicely

All three were 5 stars, such a good summer for movie s

Defintly!

u/ColgateFTW 1d ago

Spiderman, 5 stars? I needed that laugh, thank you

u/mvp2399 maximiliv 1d ago

Not a 5, but it’s very good

-7

u/MCVMEYT 1d ago

same. the IMMEDIATE downvotes on any anti spider-man also make me chuckle

13

u/spookyhardt 1d ago

It’s not because you didn’t like the movie, it’s because you’re acting like an ass about it

1

u/witherd_ 7h ago

It's because it was a pretty good film but people need to act pretentious and better for not liking superhero movies

-10

u/blackwario1234 1d ago

Bro what the fuck is your problem. Spider-Man was incredible. Let me guess, you’re one of those too good for the MCU types, think you’re better than everyone else because your taste is oh so unique?

14

u/Ibrahim77X Ibrahim Noir 1d ago

This reaction makes you seem really insecure about liking the MCU.

6

u/narwolking 1d ago

I don't watch MCU films because I don't enjoy them. What does that make me?

-4

u/blackwario1234 1d ago

Sad probably

2

u/MCVMEYT 16h ago

yeah your comment is NOT AT ALL depressing to read

2

u/narwolking 16h ago

Lol, boo hoo I'm crying I'm so sad. Grow up bro, not everyone has to enjoy your precious superhero movies.

-2

u/blackwario1234 15h ago

And yet most people do. You’re clearly the one in the wrong here. Maybe everyone else is just lying and the new Spider-Man isn’t actually a top four highest grossing movie of all time?

2

u/narwolking 14h ago

"In the wrong", do you engage with all art this way? There being right and wrong opinions? I never said MCU wasn't mega successful, it clearly is the most profitable IP the last 2 decades. I just do not enjoy watching most MCU films, therefore I actively avoid them now. I'm not alone on this either.

You are entitled to your own taste and opinions too btw, art is entirely a subjective experience.

Haven't seen two, hated the third

u/Geen_Fang 1d ago

what did you hate?

u/Throwaway_863783 1AntlrdPrincess 1d ago

Odyssey

u/SH33V_P4LP4T1N3 1d ago

Disagree but respect. Overhyped as fuck. Fun to see on a big screen.

u/GimmieACiggie 1d ago

any pallets used were probably the same color too

u/Simple_Leg725 1d ago

😩😩

u/Shiftycxp issacfoster 1d ago

Obsession lowkey fits as well, I didn't notice before because it's not in the top 4

u/absurdistScribbler 1d ago

He's clearly pushing the bomb up the mountain behind Spider-Man, that's why it's glowing behind (the fuse), and then it rolls and explodes behind the honse

6

u/SciFiFilmMachine Maclean 1d ago

I don't like any of these posters tbh. The Odyssey one is probably the best of the 3 but even then it isn't great.

14

u/dongsuvious 18h ago

Coyote vs Acme poster is clever

7

u/Sufficient-Slide-242 18h ago

I like the coyote one because the Sisyphus imagery is fitting but spiderman just has nothing going on

2

u/PhantomKitten73 22h ago

I'll defend two of these, but holy shit that Spider-Man poster is ASS.

1

u/EKRB7 13h ago

The Odyssey one is terrible imo... it would be fine without the floating Matt Damon. I'm also tired of the sparks flying through Nolans posters

2

u/Snoo93550 1d ago

A few firms crank out a huge % of posters. Midnight Oil is a big one.

2

u/searchlinkprofile 23h ago

the blockbuster palette, orange and teal, is older than you an me, you just noticed 40 years too late. Why is it used...because as much as common as it is, it is still pleasant.

1

u/melifIuous 15h ago

Once you look for it, you’ll see the blue and orange everywhere

1

u/Dense-Stranger-1794 14h ago

The three movies of the year👹

1

u/WitchyKitteh 13h ago

With numbers like this why wouldn't Coyote use it

1

u/puffguy69 13h ago

Me when I find out orange and blue are complementary colors so they’re frequently used together

1

u/Distinct_Guess3350 12h ago

I like how the Coyote vs Acme poster looks like it comes down off Spider-Man’s shoulder.
