When Justice League released earlier this month the internet was flooded with comments about the film’s VFX, more specifically the bizarre choice to make Steppenwolf a CGI character. Every critic and every publication had a go at just how obscure the rendering looked. Now, the Avengers: Infinity War trailer has released at it seems the same ills plague the film’s villain, Thanos. The CGI is just downright awful.
For the most part, Marvel has managed to maintain a fairly high standard for VFX, even winning a number of awards along the way. We all marvelled at Iron Man’s suit in the first film and the amazing work done on the first Avengers film. Even the latest Thor: Rangarok seemed to break new ground by creating visually stunning environments and beautiful CGI characters to look upon.
Thanos, however, has always seemed to be a difficult character for Marvel to master. He has been changed, morphed and shaped into different designs since his first appearance in 2012’s The Avengers (then played by Damion Poitier). Now, it seems the Josh Brolin design has taken the design again in another direction. But, sadly, like the previous designs, the CGI is a mess.
If we’re honest with ourselves, we all shared a little shriek or cringe when Thanos first shows up in the new trailer. While the rest of the trailer is topnotch stuff, this isn’t the standard we’ve come to expect from Marvel’s CG department.
While it’s important to remember that this is merely a trailer and might not reflect a finished work on the film, fans have returned the favour and started poking fun at Thanos. Of course, there are a few hilarious comments on Twitter:
Just saw and loved the new #InfinityWarTrailer 😍😍
But, am I the only one who thinks CGI Thanos looks dumb, unscary and unimpressive?? 🤔🤔— SHRIKANT GUPTA (@sankeron) November 29, 2017
Thanos looks terrible. I'm so tired of CGI villains. Just put make-up on someone!

I continue to be perplexed that, no matter how revolutionary and achingly detailed CGI has become, Marvel still haven't found a way to make Thanos look like anything less than a computer marshmallow man.

If people(critics) complain about Steppenwolf and the CGI on him It will be interesting what they say about Thanos..

Thanos is an underwhelming piece of CGI. Kind of a "Warcraft" knockoff. Like the rest of the #AvengersInfinityWar trailer though. pic.twitter.com/6xAgjj4HOJ

You can do DC movies.

He looked better in GotG. Ultron also looked WAY better.
Maybe they’ll make him look better when the film gets released. All I’m saying is, regardless of the CGI, at least this film will have a coherent plot, unlike JL. At least you can point to Marvel’s stories as decent, even when their CGI is off (which it’s not 8 times out of 10).

Yeah. Leading up to JL, you thought the same of that (compared to Thor 3). Sure you wanna make that prediction again? 😜
Everyone is an expert apparently since justice league came out
Cancer cancer…😂😂
so true

Guys think about it. Justice league went through reshoots so the cgi most definitely will look fake at times infinity wars is in post production so work is still being done on it and since when is everyone a cgi expert?
we can always go back to NO CGI and just paint

I’ve still JL to see, but never did I get what’s so hate for cgi these days?
Envor Andrias, typical MARVEL FANBOY response.
The moment anyone says anything bad about a Marvel movie they are a DC fanboy.
Not a logical, open minded human with taste.
Just immediately a DC FANBOY
