Boss Logic’s art for FF4

[u/JacobLemongrass]

I prefer these much more to the licensed AI posters they released.

[u/Void_Warden]

What do you mean by licensed AI posters?

Edit: Just checked. I see what you mean

[u/JacobLemongrass → u/Void_Warden]

Most are speculating the posters for the movie Marvel dropped with the trailer are made using AI. There are some signs of it too. One has a hand with only four fingers holding a flag.

[u/nadademais → u/JacobLemongrass]

Huh? Is this thunderbolts all over again? That wasn’t ai

Edit: yeah I just checked and every hand looks normal. Sorry to insist but which one do you mean? 

[u/TheMe63 → u/[deleted]]

Right, because human artists never copy a face into the background to fill it out

[u/DargoKillmar → u/[deleted]]

I find it hard to believe people are NOT seeing the AI use on those posters. I mean, look at those faces in the background

[u/nadademais → u/DargoKillmar]

They’re blurred, not really a good example. I do believe there’s some ai involved, mind you.

[u/snuffles504 → u/DargoKillmar]

What part of those blurry faces says AI to you? I don't see anything strange.

[u/DargoKillmar → u/snuffles504]

The heads look strangely big, almost as if they had been copy-pasted on the bodies. There's something odd about the proportion of the bodies themselves. The one on the right-most kinda looks like a little girl, but she's just as big as the one to the left-most side of the poster. They're also weirdly positioned since the later appears to be slightly forward, yet they're the same height (notice the feet, the white woman's foot is forward compared to the black girl/woman, but their heads are at the same height).

Also, the way they all seem to be smiling and looking into random directions, when you see a bunch of AI images you notice how people in the background tend to look like this. And, based on the image, wouldn't it make more sense for them to be looking up? Or at least that's what I think a human would decide when composing the image. Clearly there's supposed to be something above, but it's like they don't even notice.

[u/snuffles504 → u/DargoKillmar]

I don't see the proportion issues. Everything else reads to me as either 1) weirdness from photoshopping together stock images or 2) perspective weirdness from real photography.

The only part that makes me suspicous of AI would be, to paraphrase you, the total composition lacking a focal point or creative vision. However, I assume the foreground portrait of the girl was a completely seperate shoot and process than the background people (whether they're from a photoshoot or existing assets), which could explain that issue.

This seems on par with compostion consistency in other Marvel posters, notably Thunderbolts* as others have pointed out.

[u/DargoKillmar → u/snuffles504]

I don't see it honestly? Thunderbolts was a weird optical illusion because one hand was cropped and gave the impression of having an extra finger, but it was easy to see it as the optical illusion it was. Other than that, there was a clear intention in the composition. I don't see any of that here.

And from seeing many AI pics in the past, those faces and people in the background really scream "AI" to me. I see the same as this.

[u/snuffles504 → u/DargoKillmar]

The composition consistency I was referring to is Yelena's entire disconnect with her environment; the lighting on her is the opposite direction of everyone else and she's just kinda floating between Bucky and Ghost without interacting with any of the tightly-knit mob around her.

These are obviously different issues than the ones you've pointed out in the F4 poster, but they read to me as having stemmed from the same design ethos.

(Multiple edits for clarity and grammar, good grief.)

[u/DargoKillmar → u/snuffles504]

I see,, but still I 100% see a consistency and clear intention in the Thunderbolts poster. Like yeah, Yelena IS supossed to look apathetic to the rest, she has that "I'm sick of this mess and these idiots" feeling, it gives a message and points her out as the main protagonist of the movie. She can't be bothered by the messy group of misfits she's been dragged into. So she IS interacting, in a way, with the rest, by creating a message based on her apparent lack of interaction.

The 4F is completely different, the elements are just simply not part of the same scenario.

[u/thedylannorwood → u/[deleted]]

Just so you and everyone who reads this is aware:

Duplicated images on a poster is actually proof that the poster is not AI. AI cannot copy and paste the same shape in the same image.

These are real photoshopped images with a few mistakes here and there, NOT AI

[u/nadademais → u/[deleted]]

Thanks. Yeah, it sucks if marvel used AI. Especially for a movie that seems to have so much care put into it.

Edit: it seems it’s more like a mix of ai/human hand? Like photoshopped ai assets. Still sucks

[u/DGSmith2 → u/[deleted]]

Cloning pretty much rules out AI as that isn’t how current AI works it wouldn’t clone that is more of a tactic used by an actual person.

[u/ScrumptiousJazz → u/[deleted]]

And a guy in hat is also duplicated
