Iron Man Captain America and Hulk

10Bruce Banner’s Head Doesn’t Mix Well With the Hulkbuster Suit

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Cast

The CGI inAvengers : eternity Waris wildly impressive . However , there is a brief moment that could have been done better . When Thor arrives in Wakanda , Bruce Banner draw back his helmet in the Hulkbuster suit to deliver a uproarious one - liner . Unfortunately , it ’s glaringly obvious that Mark Ruffalo is n’t in the suit , and it looks like somebody photoshopped the doer ’s head . It ’s an awkward - looking force , but one that can go unnoticed since everything else looks great .

9Reed Richards' Arms Don’t Look Fantastic

Fantastic Four (2005 & 2015)

create the upshot of an elastic piece is hard to do , specially with 2005 ’s CGI . Ioan Gruffudd did look the part as Reed Richards , but thing fall apart whenever he showed off his powers . The lackluster elastic effects were present inFantastic Fourand its continuation , ascension of the Silver Surfer . Things did n’t get much just 10 years later when Miles Teller took on the role of Mr. Fantastic , as the CGI still looked off . Hopefully , the MCU can find a way to make Mr. Fantastic ’s arm look fantastical in the 2025 moving picture .

8Black Panther’s Final Fight Almost Ruins The Finale

Black Panther (2018)

Michael B. Jordan ’s Killmonger is an excellent villain and viewers were look for the final fight between him and T’Challa . However , the fight is a CGI muckle , as the two father different colored Black Panther suits and record hop around trains , punch and clawing at each other . In a finale that include battle rhino , it ’s surprising that this competitiveness seem as bad as it did , especially for a film that is one of the best in the MCU .

7Catwoman’s Climbing Makes The 2004 Movie Even Worse

Catwoman (2004)

2004’sCatwomanis already heavily criticized as one of the worst ever superhero movies , but the CGI did n’t avail the movie . Anytime the titular Heron did any climb , it looked directly out of a cartoon and made each scene goofier than the last . Halle Berry ’s Catwoman suit was insulting enough , and it did n’t help that the CGI made the part wait even worse .

6Wolverine’s Claws Don’t Do Hugh Jackman’s Character Justice

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

X - human being Origins : Wolverineshows how Hugh Jackman ’s Wolverine got his adamantium nipper , but the CGI looks wildly out of place . It ’s severe to believe how bad his claws looked at that second , since he had play the use for years , and they ’d more seamlessly fit into his conniption in old X - Men movies . gratefully , the iconic aspect of Wolverine has looked well in motion picture both before and since .

5Green Lantern’s CGI Suit Still Gets Made Fun Of

Green Lantern (2011)

Green Lanternrelied heavily on CGI effect , but making Ryan Reynolds ' courtship fully CGI was a fault . He is in the lawsuit a draw , and it ’s gruelling to take him gravely when his suit looks so fake and luminescent . This decision was so defective that Reynolds himself often pull on it , even hurl in an insult inDeadpool 2 . Fortunately , thing worked out well with the Canadian actor ’s 2nd superhero and , hopefully , DC can check from theirGreen Lanternmistakes .

4MODOK Is An Unfunny Joke That Haunts Viewers

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

MODOK is a theatrical role that ’s almost unacceptable to accommodate from the comic . Marvel deserves credit for trying , but even their visual effects could n’t make this abomination work . MODOK is so uncomfortable to look at , especially with how preternatural Corey Stoll ’s face looks in that egg - like courtship . WhileAnt - Man and the Wasp : Quantumaniatries to play it off like a caper , the CGI character is nonetheless unsettling to look at in the picture .

3Ang Lee’s Hulk Looks Like A Cartoon

Hulk (2003)

Hulkdebuted in 2003 , perhaps a few class before a CGI Hulk could face satisfactory . Ang Lee treats the character seriously , but it ’s surd to be invested in the green rage monster when it await so cartoonish . The pre - MCU pic is filled with comic Scripture panels , and it palpate like spectator are still in one whenever Hulk come out .

2Henry Cavill’s CGI-Removed Mustache Is Distracting

Justice League (2017)

ForJustice League’sextensive reshoots , Henry Cavill could n’t plane his mustachethat he ’d grown forMission : Impossible - Fallout , so DC had to figure out a path to get rid of it . The studio apartment make up one’s mind to turn to CGI , and the outcome were anything but superintendent . From afar , Superman does n’t look too bad , but up close , the CGI is very noticeable and cause any striking scene with Cavill diminish flat . Right from the first scene of Superman , it ’s clear something was off about his sass , and it did n’t get any better .

1The Speed Force In The Flash Doesn’t Do Right By Its Cameos

The Flash (2023)

The Flashhas an interesting concept for its time travel mechanism , called the Chronobowl , with Barry Allen capable to see metre move by in a stylize animation . However , it arrive worse when the multiverse comes into gambol . The cluster of CGI heroes and villains is a visual mess . Not only that , but theNicolas Cage and Christopher Reeve cameosare ruin by poor CGI and come off as cheap and insulting to the legacy of these actors . Director Andy Muschietti said the effect were a creative choice to make things seem twist from Barry ’s sentiment , but that does n’t apologize these atrocious effects .
