One particular person wrote within the Reddit thread, “Marvel has probably the worst methodology of production and VFX management out there. 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.”
Another particular person expressed their frustration and wrote, “I am on my third Marvel project in a row and literally just woke up 5:30 am on a Saturday with stress going ‘I don’t want to do this anymore. It’s 6 am now and I am making a reel to apply someplace that has projects other than Marvel because I can’t do this anymore.” Dhruv Govil, a former VFX artist who labored with Marvel on Guardians of the Galaxy, shared an article that detailed the accusations and tweeted, “Working on #Marvel shows is what pushed me to leave the VFX industry. They’re a horrible client, and I’ve seen way too many colleagues break down after being overworked, while Marvel tightens the purse strings.”

In 2018, the visible results within the closing battle scene of Black Panther attracted a lot backlash, as did the primary trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
