THIS is a strange take. A lemon isn't an IP.

But let's stay it this way, a movie studio makes a movie like Avengers. I buy a copy, I alter it and add new elements using CGI. Now I resell my cut, call it 100% mine, and ask people to pay me for it's copyright.

If you're modding just for you or for fun, whatever. But modern modders are generally big crews, with funding and who make money off the mod by selling it and by streaming content off it.

I don't see how this is different. Your cut would be a unique product. Marvel will still be making their millions off of the movie. Also these days the majority of the budget goes to actors who continue to get obscenely rich while the VFX artists get laid off, I wouldn't even support the big movie studios

Thats how art has worked for the majority of human civilization, and has only changed very recently.

So. Yeah, bud, modders are returning artwork to its roots. Huzzah.
