How is complaining that things are no longer shot on film(Something that was extremely bulky and expensive)not you complaining that things were better in the old days? The way the sets are set up, how they are lit, and the look of the actors effects what the movie looks like just as much as if it is shot on film or not. How is my complaint any different then your's? We are both complaining about how the look of modern films and Tv shows takes us out of the story and calls attention to the fakeness of the setting.
Yes you can find some grit in Rated level stuff my complaint is more about overall tone and the fact that outside of a few gritty cable dramas there is no attempt to place the characters in anything that looks like the real world and that draws me out of everything else. It use to be that most shows and movies tried to have some form off realism and I just don't see that any more, in the way things are shot or the type of casting that is done.
If I can say one thing in favor of Marvel it's that Agent Caulson and Agent Carter look more like real people then anyone I have seen in non cable series in a long time. I can believe they could duck into a crowd and hide, so they did a good job there.
