Noticed a trend in recent years of the advertising material heavily editing the actors to beyond anything they even look like. It looks ridiculous.

      Not OP, but most famous recent example: Alicia Vikander’s neck for Tomb Raider poster. Everything recent with Brad Pitt (more like “The Chin” on the poster of “Once Upon … in Hollywood”). Nobody can convince me all the actors on the Justice League (Whedon’s JL) poster to be real, these are Madame Tussaud’s figures. Ocean’s 8 had a lot of waxy posters as well. The list goes on, I noticed this trend as well.

        Yeah, we’re on the same page. One thing I found amusing is that you had to specify which Justice League, like it mattered. 😂 Is one more or less realistic or processed than the other?

        The Ocean’s Eight posters, regardless of which, all suffer from the same flaw: all of the actresses are culled from separate photo shoots/sources. After all the resizing, color correction and conforming, it’s inevitable they look as processed as an individually-wrapped cheese slice. Cheers!
