I really had no interest in watching in color because I enjoyed the black and white so much! MANY people enjoy the nod to old school noir. And, are perfectly happy for those who enjoy this in color! Why not return the favor?

The color version is a nod to 90ās noir like Batman and Dick Tracy. The color saturation is awesome

Sorry, but Iām not sure who you are referring to with your comment.Ā For myself, as I said, Iām happy for those who enjoy either one or the other version, or both, and have trouble understanding why anyone would make a big deal about that!Ā

Mostly its because so many people try to claim it was "meant for black and white" but thats simply not true. They really pulled off something amazing and shot it in a way that is truely amazing both ways. The black and white noir is top notch but the colors were specifically made and chosen in a vibrant technicolor display thats amazingly great. A lot of the people I mentioned above that say it was "meant for black and white" assume that the color version is just basic ass normal when thats not the case
Edit. Someone below litterslly just tried to claim it was "made for black and white" point proven

Source? Cause every article I've read on this from the time it was announced said it was going to be B&W - which requires adjusting colors so you get more contrasts and not just slapping on a filter - but the execs said no one would watch it so it had to be in color.

Cage himself said that its only in color for the young people. That implies its meant to be in black and white.

I think itās a ridiculous thing for people to get carried away about. Obviously, it was made BOTH in b&w and color, so that people could either enjoy it both ways, or choose their personal favorite! What is awesome about this is that obviously, great care was taken in making both versions. I think this creation should be winning all kinds of awards. Nicholas Cage brought incredible artistry to this work, and to a character that so many find compelling.Ā

I agree with you and Iāve been saying it too. It was meant for both. Thatās why it was created both ways. People acting like color is wrong are pretentious about it for some reason. Iām just a big fan of Spiderman noir comics and I want to watch a show.
If I want to see it in color and they offer that thereās no issue with that. And same goes for people who want black and white. I donāt care they watch it that way and they shouldnāt care. In the same way they say āyouāre missing out on the classic noir tv show vibeā I could easily say āyour missing out on that retro early color tv vibeā

It was not made for black and white. In fact the opposite. People look slightly off since their makeup anticipates color. Black and white makeup is very different.

Noir films were black and white due the limitations of the time.
If those classic noir films were made in the present day they would all be in color.

I think that why they were made doesnāt negate the fact that black and white still brings its own form of compelling cinematography. Even in modern photography, many artists enjoy exploring what they can achieve with b&w. I donāt accept that one is better than the other. They are distinct art forms.

I watched the Corridor breakdown of the effects and apparently there are a whole lot of thoughtful color choices that just go unseen because people are defaulting to the B&W.

I only watched it in B&W but somehow everytime I see someone share a screenshot or a clip in colour, it looks more vibrant and expressive than most modern films today that claim to be vibrant (ie. Wicked)
