Fans Clash: Doomsday VFX Compared to Ramayana Scale

Fans of 'Avengers: Doomsday' are engaging in a lively debate online following the release of a new trailer. This trailer has drawn significant attention from Indian audiences who are comparing its visual effects to the upcoming Indian epic, 'Ramayana'. Many viewers have taken to social media to express that 'Ramayana's' visual effects appear more refined and cinematic than those in the Marvel film.

The comparison intensifies when considering the reported budgets. 'Ramayana,' a two-part saga, is said to have a combined budget of approximately USD 500 million, while 'Avengers: Doomsday' is estimated to have cost between USD 500 million and USD 700 million. Despite these substantial expenditures, the perception among a segment of fans is that 'Ramayana's' CGI is superior.

This conversation has also brought 'Adipurush' into the discussion, a 2023 Indian film that similarly faced criticism for its visual effects. Some social media users now contend that 'Adipurush's' visuals, even with a smaller budget, hold up better against the latest 'Doomsday' trailer than previously thought.

Adding another layer to the discourse, some netizens are discussing perceived double standards in how Indian and Hollywood productions are reviewed. The debate continues as both 'Ramayana' and 'Avengers: Doomsday' prepare for their respective releases. 'Ramayana' is scheduled to begin its cinematic run on November 8, 2026, with its second part arriving in late 2027. 'Avengers: Doomsday' is set to premiere on December 18, followed by its sequel in December 2027.
