I’m guessing it’s from the special effects people being overworked and having to churn out show after show after movie after show the way they’ve been having to do the past few years. The same thing has cropped up in a few other Marvel shows/movies as well, just laughably bad CGI.
could be, in fact, I'm sure you're right, that the sheer volume of Marvel movie says something to do with it.
it seems like a stylistic choice, the more I'm looking at it. the effects all have a thread of unconventional simpler retro looking animation, but instead of looking retro, just looks messy.
less fluid.
I noticed it in the theater... There's a bit where CM catches a space ship in mid air and throws it and there's just no weight or physicality to it at all. Might as well be styrofoam.
I haven't seen it, and I've no BTS info, but I imagine it was like Star Wars Acolyte: it cost so much and ended up looking shoddy for the same reason - it's had the living shit reshot out of it. For reshoots, they use smaller stages and everyone involved has had less time to prepare, and it creates continuity problems when it's stitched back in with the original photography.
Typically, Disney knows when something isn't working, and their first strategy is to order rewrites and reshoots, and when that doesn't work (as is often the case), their second strategy is to seed the idea that it's 'woke', and use the predictable nerdrage from the usual grifters as cover for any legitimate criticism.
(I'm not being entirely serious with the suggestion that Disney seeds the 'woke' idea, but it's certainly so useful for them it'd almost be more crazy for them not to)
eh the CGI was the least of my problems with that movie.
that was like top of my list, except maybe the ending?
spoilers
she tells them she has to stay and the other universe while telling them the plan, and then they're both shocked and horrified that she has to stay in the other universe?
I had a pretty good time with the rest of the story, I like the switching powers dynamic a lot and Kamala is super funny with her family, but the CGI was unbelievably poor.
I feel like with the ending credits, they were trying to let you know that the CGI was supposed to look like that, like shitty '70s style instead of contemporary CGI?
boy, did they not pull it off, everything just looked terrible.
