Yes, this was clearly written by a film geek for film geeks. I had to google "dutch angle" for example. It just means you tilt the camera a little. But I'll see if I notice any of those things the next time I watch something.

I really got the sense that this was written by and for film geeks. That said, as a minor film geek, I enjoyed the piece and agree with their message.
I think the example image at the top of the article does a perfectly fine job of showing the "something" they're refering to, but it's only going to help those few who have already noticed that something, and haven't put their finger on what it actualy is. For readers who haven't noticed the effect, a few comparison images wouldn't hurt.

It's a repurposing of a Twitter discourse from months ago where that particular image from The Sandman was called out and compared to the source material, and a few threads emerged discussing how it ended up that way.
I don't have links unfortunately.

I know what a Dutch angle is, but still came away thinking they might just need to adjust their TV settings, or sit further away from it.

Are you sure it‘s written by a film geek? The first 3 paragraphs are so similar in what they are kust with different words…
I think it‘s an AI generated text: a lot of filler words, no clear message and restates again and again a basic concept.
