Yes they have

>>218966688Harry Potter was always suppose to be grey depressive kitchen sink realism, chud.
>>218966688The original was filmed on a movie set they made in Elstree to look like Kings Cross station in London. Its not real and the "brick work" is cladding stuck on wood to make it look like real bricks.cladding fades in a few months when exposed to the elements to look more like the natural colours of bricks, but before then it has pretty vibrant colours, like a cheep red tshirt before its first wash. For the new series they had less time and a lower budget overall so had to use filming on location in the UK, rather than making all the sets themselves.For most of the shots using one of London's busiest stations in the middle of the day was a no go, they could do a few pick ups there, like Harry walking past a sign saying "Kings Cross" or something, but mainly it was filmed elsewhere. Thus for the most part we had Birmingham New Street Station as a stand in for Kings Cross. Birmingham is a pretty bleak place, as anyone from the UK knows, so yeah, the colour isn't going to look great, but American audiences won't be able to tell the difference.Thats why the colours look more vibrant in the original.Good news though is that the Hogwarts area stuff was filmed in Dartmoor, in Devon, which is much nicer and has brighter colours and more sunlight than dreary Scottish moors and glens. It also has lots of kino standing stones, and other Stonehenge style prehistoric monuments so looks a lot cooler (picrel)
The look of the movie is decided in post production. Original footage is very flat color wise. The problem is those retards either don't know how to make it look interesting or simply don't care.
>>218966688What you're pointing out isn't just a film issue, it's a society issue. Look at the train station in each picture. The first one is so much more vibrant and alive looking than the second. That's how everything is designed these days. Gray, flat, glass, angular, soulless.

>>218968428better how?
>>218968382The color grading trend is so creepy and weird because it reflects what people’s brain do when they’re depressed. While shit like tiktok auto enhancement and filters reverse the process and enhance an image in a way that makes the image look like it would look if you weren’t depressed
>>218966688this thread again
>>218968466More efficient
>>218966719>>218966688its intended. the later harry potter movies did the same thing. the real muggle world was cold and sad for harry. then when he got to the school colours warmed up. they kind of memed themselves into removing the color all but completely by the end of the series because of marketing pressures like "this one is darker than ever before and for adults!"
>>218968466It's just better, y'know, the restaurant. It's better. It's a better look.

>>218968403Does it actually? Why wouldnt they update it to be the 2020s? But im guessing it probably wouldnt even matter story wise as it all takes place in hogwarts.

>>218968685THE TREND OF MAKING THE COLOR GRADING DULL. NOT "COLOR GRADING" IN OF ITSELF YOU ILLITERATE DULLARD
>>218967979>The original was filmed on a movie set they made in Elstree to look like Kings Cross station in London. Its not real and the "brick work" is cladding stuck on wood to make it look like real bricks.cladding fades in a few months when exposed to the elements to look more like the natural colours of bricks, but before then it has pretty vibrant colours, like a cheep red tshirt before its first wash.Everything is filmed in a very neutral and washed out format with 2000 gorillion gigabytes, you pull out the colors you want in post production. You literally have to or it will look grey. Ofc I can't make it look nice because it's already graded and low res and I have no raw color data captured by the camera.
>>218970952>>218971105See I would contest the idea of restaurants ever having been a third space, but I think the current problem goes back to when I was a kid, so I may be wrong. Certainly a lot of older media likes to show some restaurants (and more so cafes, bars, etc.) that way.I think the bigger issue is looking at that decline through the lens of corporate America. Or at least, that was my reasoning when I posted. But you have a point-- corporate America is the problem in the first place, so why not look at it through that lens?
>>218970895>the biggest architectural movement of the 20th century couldn't possibly have influenced capitalists
>>218968746>I'm serious, google 'brutalismYou obviously didn't. Where is the exposed concrete?
>>218968382>people responding to slopLook at the stones on the ramp They've got identical marks
>>218971256>corporate America is the problem in the first place, so why not look at it through that lens?If this is your bottom line, you're correct. The corporate philosophy of eternal growth at as fast a rate as possible is the issue. It leads to maximizing profits by, among other things, increasing property values by making them resellable to other corporations, which means removing distinguishing factors from public places. Those things which bring uniqueness and soul are not easily switch out when corporations play their little trading card game and sell their locations to one another. So they're removed entirely.A better corporate mentality would include temperance, prioritizing longterm stable growth and the myriad intangible benefits of slow change that brings than going balls to the wall trying to make as much money for the shareholders as possible in the short term. Naturally that'll preclude finding most investors and you'll only get the ones who agree with you philosophically, but I think that's manageable and in line with a tempered mentality.

>>218968707Even with their magic, wizard kids would probably still be captivated by muggle stuff like video games and iPhones. That part never quite made sense to me.
>>218971749No facet of the worldbuilding holds up to scrutiny. Never has.
>>218970550these fast food places never last long so they want it to be as easy and cheap as possible to moveits just about not doing things well and optimizing the loss as well as possible because that somehow makes macdonalds more money than doing it right
film vs digital
>>218967979I kept seeing this cope. “It will be more colorful in Hogwarts!”Sounds suspiciously like talking points given to marketing interns.
>>218967979Oh they had no time to build sets, I understand. Small family operation and all that.
>>218967979Scotland is very colourful and has greener grass than England (Literally)
>>218971859The minor non-magic parts do, which is why Harry Potter always happened in the 90s. Rowling's portrayal of the Dursleys was a specific class critique, with Privet Drive being a street of former council houses sold off under Thatcher's Right to Buy. The Dursleys are social-ladder climbers and blame having an extra mouth to feed for them not doing better, when what they do have is because of social welfare provision they despise others having access to. If this was to be updated, the Dursleys would have to be actually well-off without any excuse to mistreat Harry, or on benefits with no social status to preserve or improve on. They are meant to be contrasted with the mansion-dwelling Malfroys, who are exactly the same and have everything the Dursleys would want, but are still miserable sods.
>>218966688Some braindead zoomer made this. The first book came out in 1997, the first film in 2001.
>>218967110Probably not. HP fans are pretty much braindead. They'll eat the slop readily. LotR-fans have some actual niveau.
>>218970550It's probably more in the line of>McVomit "food" is dangerously garbage>the color and everything is manipulative marketing to get kids to want it>kids stuff their faces with that toxic waste >laws get passed that forbid such predatory marketing tactics
>>218972222>They are meant to be contrasted with the mansion-dwelling Malfroys, who are exactly the same and have everything the Dursleys would want, but are still miserable sods.I could see that, I guess. I think that's more likely coincidental than intentional, though, since Rowling never really contrasted them by having any interactions, bridges, or comparisons. She had the opportunity to contrast the two through Dobby visiting Harry at privet drive, and as far as I remember, he doesn't mention anything along those lines. Been a while since I read them, maybe he does.I think the Weaselys were used for this purpose more. They're highly contrasted with the Malfoys and interact with them often. Being poorer and existing in the same world and if a lower social class but bring far happier and united, the contrast shows up a ton.
>>218972404>>laws get passed that forbid such predatory marketing tacticsLike?
>>218972404Show me the law that requires fast food restaurants to be painted grey
>>218972329Both franchises had a great original run but are reduced to cash grab slop, at least LOTR has material in the Silmarillion to make actual films but they still refuse to do so
>>218967979The Harry Potter IP shits money though, surely it was worth building a set for one of the most iconic locations?
>>218970550Around the 2010s. Starbucks started it, and all the major chains followed under the logic that being inviting to families isn't profitable anymore, but quickly shoving people in and out through hostile, uncomfortable design was more profitable.>>218972404It's marketing to kids to get parents to bring them and purchase. It was not outlawed. Quit making shit up.
>>218972452There was one sentence where Harry mentally notes that Malfoy reminds him of Dudley. I think that's about it.
>>218973576>>218972586>>218972475https://www.foodforhealthalliance.org.au/media-news/media-release/2020/back-to-the-naughty-corner.htmlhttps://www.sustainweb.org/news/jan20_mcdonalds_broken_promise/https://www.konsumentenfragen.at/konsumentenfragen/Rund_um_den_Vertrag/Konsumentenfragen/Werbung__die_an_Kinder_und_Jugendliche_gerichtet_ist.htmlhttps://konsument.at/markt-dienstleistung/werbung-und-kinderDepending on where you look there are laws or laws against it are being talked about. The greyification of McV started back in 2011-ish, curiously about the same time McV was once again sued for aggressive marketing towards children. You would be completely retarded to not understand why they changed their design, even if definitive laws weren't yet passed. They felt the heat.
>>218975086That's fascinating. Thanks for looking into this, anon. I wonder if it'd be possible to amend these laws. Also, thinking about it, I'm sure Morgan Spurlock, that alcoholic grifter fuck had a lot to do with public outrage at fast food marketing toward kids.
>>218975268It is wild that there's a reasonable argument to be made linking a single lying alkie to the enshittification of western corporate architecture.
>>218967110nah i think people will watch this. rop is unwatchable fan ffiction slop.
>>218968382I understand McDonald's, they tried to be colorful and welcoming, still they were bashed and mocked by everyone, now it's just get in and get your slop
>>218966688nah it's just underlit digital crap
>>218968345HP fans are a specific range of ages. LOTR has fans from all generations. They've got a harder task, to recapture those fans, and to try to get new fans,
Difference is the original movies had white people or Koreans in post. The show is all Indians.
>>218966688Harry Potter is literally slop for women
>>218968452new video games have bad colors (not in my experience) because everybody in the industry is calibrating their monitors wrong? What?
Who is this even for? Why would anyone watch this when the original movies are easily watchable?
>>218976540you'd be surprised by how many people watch something just because it's new and streaming services dangle it in front of their faces, just look at how many people watched the Fallout and the One Piece tv series despite not caring one bit about their source material
>>218976540People like my mother-in-law, who watch something expecting that because it's new and has a recognizable title, she's expected to watch it so she can talk about it with us.
>>218975086This is where society has failed: maintain control over your own children. A colorful design should attract and please everyone, but it is the parents responsibility to control what their children eat and do not eat while they are under their care. Blaming the color of a building for bad parenting is not the businesses fault.
>>218973576One of the saddest redesigns is Taco Bell.
>>218972404I'm really getting tired of the granola faggot lie that meat, cheese, bread, potatoes and vegetables magically become toxic waste when sold under a pair of golden arches.
>>218977234This lie sells overpriced hippie bullshit and without it Whole Foods, Sprouts, and other similar faggot food sellers would lose market share. Expect shills to shill. Plus, unpaid shills get over on having a "muh healthy lifestyle" moral highground over others. This lie is here to stay.
>>218977468I can get bigger and better (taste-wise) burgers for the same price of mcdonalds shit in non-corporate restaurants, it's fast food that's overpriced nowadays.Also complaining about the "shills" preaching eating healthily in this day and age is wild, they are outnumbered by fatsos eating doordash slop several times a day 1000 to 1
>>218977863We might be encountering a regional gap here. Some places like California and Colorado have a faggy "health culture" thay receives too much exposure and gets really annoying. From outside of these places my perspective might seem far-fetched.
>>218968382something i don't see many people talking about is how cars are less colorful. almost every car on the road is black, white, or grey.
>lack of colour is realism People are going to be surprised when they get their legs blown off in a war and there is red coming out and the sun keeps shining.
>>218978304I understand the theme of rain and clouds at a funeral, but every funeral I've been to was bright and sunny. Being bright and sunny did not make me feel any less sad.
>>218971951Fast food places need to be easy to clean and you really don't want people to hang around too long.
>>218968746I think that Bahaus (also commie gobledygook) is more on point here.
>>218966688every screen i see from the new series looks like something from Chernobyl
>>218978090that's just a user demand thing. nobody wants a yellow or green car and people probably didn't back before there was any standard either.
are they going to do actual different things or is it more or less the same?because if it is relatively the same, why even bother?if they do change things up, have a subplot of a guy using magic to become a tranny.
>>218979991it's just money laundering scheme
>>218971439>Harry why do you think Snape wants to steal the stone?>He just looks suspicious ok!? Can we stop it with the third degree?
>>218970550probably the real answer is that its easier to re-sell a building when it looks generic and colorless. its easier to sell it and have it used for something else. when a building is colorful and distinctive its more difficult for it to be made something else. thats a lot of it
>>218968746Do you think that the McDonald's in the picture is an example of Brutalism? You fucking retard
>>218968345I don't think most people cared about RoP because it was fan fiction. This is a remake of something everyone is familiar with.
>>218980297Lmao
>>218968443>SourceHarry Potter (franchise)
>>218968746Brutalism looks cool af. Mogs globohomo architecture.
>>218968382Maybe because colors fade in the sun? One color, such as black, makes it easier to maintain.
>>218967110It'll suck but it'll do better numbers than RoP. HP is still a hot commodity, whereas LOTR only attracts an increasingly aging audience. It doesn't help that the last good LOTR thing we've had was ROTK, but HP is fresher in the zeitgeist's memory and that counts for a lot
>>218968746you are such a midwit it hurts
>>218966688The color and lighting is fucked because of CGI.
>>218982085I'd rather more places looked like Barcelona or Torino
