I feel like there's way too much VFX in Marvel movies that most of them are unnecessary. If the VFX artists worked reasonable hours and cut down the VFX by half, they'd make movies just as entertaining and profitable.

But if the VFX workers are paid fixed wages and not by profit sharing, half of them would just lose their jobs while the other half work just as hard.

I feel like employees should fight more for shares and control of the companies rather than just marginal wage increases. It seems like the sensible thing to do in the grand scheme of things for all parties, but it's rarely done. Companies default to selling shares to the highest bidders, without considering the cost of mis-aligned incentives.
