The bumper…I don’t know what it’s called…that little clip with the snow that fades in and reveals the logo.

It’s terrible.

For one, a lot of people actually don’t know what TV static is. Analog broadcasts stopped almost 16 years ago, and before that, most younger people had cable.

For another, static is really difficult to compress. It looks horrible and consumes way too much bandwidth for just a couple of seconds that won’t even load right. If anything, they should cache a local copy of the bumper in-app in a format that doesn’t look like ass when every pixel changes every frame.

    That’s the neat part, people don’t know what it is, and will find out the history of it if they decided to look it up. There’s a reason Marvel’s intro where they flip through all the comic book is so popular and recognizable, it’s their history.

      I wish marvel would go back to that… Nowadays with the juggernaut that is the MCU we have that weird CGI intro for “MARVEL STUDIOS” that shows clips from previous movies.
