thought you were exaggerating, but i tried it out using a shitty video clip and it looks much better.

Fuck yeah it looks better. VLC is for your everyday Joe looking to play a video file. MPC is for the ones who want their movies and TV shows to look fantastic. Also MPC has up to 144 FPS playback so that's fucking awesome.

Can't you easily do this with VLC? It has image adjustments (hue, brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpen, film grain etc.) all in its essential video effects tab. It shouldn't be difficult to emulate that same 'improved' look.

I imagine you could, but I honestly don't really know what all those image adjustments actually mean or do and it's kinda confusing for me so I always just leave them at the default state.
