Why exactly do movies not use practical effects with stop motion or whatever anymore?
Is CGI cheaper? Is it because they are too afraid to admit that CGI, despite being the modern thing, doesn't do the job? Does anyone actually think CGI is the better choice?

There are probably some recent examples of this in recent times. CGI has just become the norm for average film makers.
It's kind of ironic that George Lucas was trying to be innovative and have a whole trilogy of great CGI and he got shit on for it (deservingly so), but now everyone is doing it.
Imagine how much better the 30 seconds of AT-ACT movement in Rogue One would have been if they simulated stop motion staccato instead of smooth CGI.

stop motion is dog shit and you faggots only like it because you watched these movies when you were kids. any millenial like myself laughs at how bad those old Star Wars movies were.
cheesy cringy acting, awful special effects, a barebone story. C'mon. the "CGI is bad" meme HAS to stop.

Stop motion is time and labor intensive and requires craftsmanship and skill. CGI is something you outsourced to some korean sweatshop.

I think it's kind of like those film school threads, people just want to come off as cultured or whatever. Stop motion always make me say oh how cute they fell for that meme.
Stop-motion works for some things and don't for the others. It is perfect for machines like ED-209 or AT-AT, but for living creatures it looks kinda silly now.
