Topic: Tag alias: cinematic -> invalid_tag

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

it's because it's not correctly defined.

In artwork, "cinematic" describes an image or piece that resembles a movie scene because of dramatic lighting, storytelling, and/or composition. There's an intent to awe, to move, to convey emotion. Something you couldn't say of something like a refsheet - well usually. (I'm yet to see a cinematic ref)

The problem is that is not a binary choice, it's a spectrum.
Also, it's not a spectrum you can measure objectively.

In short, you can most definitely "see" it, because it's a style like chibi or limited_palette.

I would not invalidate it unless there's heavy misstagging.

[EDIT]

From what I see, there's no mistagging
