Effects have gotten better, but they’ve made everything else worse. Costume? Add it in post. Proper lighting? Add it in post. The entire set? Add it in post.
Add second screen syndrome and every new movie and TV show is perfect to have on in the background while you scroll through Facebook
Effects CAN be better, but studios often don’t give them enough time anymore, so they get rushed and can often look worse than stuff they did 20 years but took their time on.
The corridor digital guys have a video where they compare what an animator can do for a shot given 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 days.
I don’t disagree. Practical effects are are almost always preferable to CGI, especially with things like explosions and fluid movement. I’m just saying that special effects themselves have largely improved, to the detriment of the medium as a whole
I think I get your point better now, CGI has improved and is now being used for everything because it’s “good enough” but this has lead to a reduction in quality because no one bothers to do anything properly any more?
Easy: the effects got worse /hj
plus most of its catering to asia/specifically china at least for action shows, thats why Rock still get roles.

Some have, some haven’t. I feel like physical explosions often work better for instance.
