An amatuer, which I did not say, "is generally considered a person who pursues a particular activity or field of study independently from their source of income. Amateurs and their pursuits are also described as popular, informal, self-taught, user-generated, DIY, and hobbyist".
Also
a person who is incompetent or inept at a particular activity which still goes towards "a lack of talent" that you said.
That I said? Huh? Ugh. Again, here comes another stawman argument. You put "a lack of talent" in quotes to suggest I said exactly that. But once again, I never said that.
Here's my quote again:

Every aspect of Scar to me was inferior, even his paint application, which just screamed out to me during the release of AvP a lower degree of experience and/or talent, which is in every line of creative business right?
Why I put that section in
bold is because it represents how I felt watching it in 2004. Not once did I say "lack of talent" but rather "a lower degree of experience and/or talent"... meaning some people are better at certain tasks than others. I.E. even two house painters, while both good, both have experience and talent, one might have more and be much better than the other. And that was my opinion walking out of AvP in regards to Scar.
Other than that, ADI in general, while very good at what they do, I don't feel personally those guys will be held up as one of the very best i.e. Stan Winston, Rick Baker, etc.. One of the legends. At least that's how I feel, but perhaps my opinion may turn out wrong. In 100 years they'll have to freeze our heads, attach them to new bodies, so we can see.

You think the work is shit and you seem to think ADI isn't that good -- kind of sounds like you're saying the people making the work aren't great at their jobs. Not really an egregious misrepresentation of your words to say you're calling them incompetent and amateurish?
Ugh. Again, I never called or said I think their work is "shit". Whatever SiL. There's no use continuing this.
