The She-Hulk CGI Mystery: Deciphering the Debate
Upon the trailer’s release She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, was met with widespread criticism and controversy, with many expressing disappointment in the character’s on-screen appearance. The release of the trailer that was subsequently uploaded to Disney+ was met with much less negative reaction, with several VFX professionals explaining why this happened. The Corridor Crew, a group of visual effects specialists, praised a particular bar shot for its realism and believability, but criticized other parts of the trailer for being inconsistent and “going back and forth from completely convincing to like Shrek”. The group eventually announced that the trailer did not feature “garbage VFX”, instead attributing the overly negative reaction to internet culture.
Artist Wren Weichman also weighed in, stating that the problems seen in the trailer were most likely the result of the trailer being uploaded to YouTube, which was compressed to reduce file size, resulting in lower video quality. Weichman went on to stress that Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk in the trailer didn’t suffer from the same issues as She-Hulk, due to details like stubble, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles that “the pressure wouldn’t be able to remove.”
So it was proven that even after the backlash that the CGI and VFX on the show wasn’t utter nonsense, although it is an indisputable fact that She-Hulk’s inclusion in the nominations for the Visual Effects Society Awards is inappropriate. Even among those who held the series in high esteem, the quality of the visual effects was low and inconsistent.
According to insider statements and admissions, the plight of VFX artists in the industry is a valid concern, though it doesn’t negate the fact that the final product fails to meet the standards of excellence expected in the category.
