    What have the complaints been regarding Rosario's costume? The Lekku not being long enough? I haven't heard anything about questionable CGI effects with her; considering she doesn't use any. What you see in the LA shows is how she looks in full costume.

    Hmm, what's this?

    Oh, just the internet freaking out over a few seconds of footage.

    I get they had to change the lekku for practical reasons, but I don't think it looks like a natural part of her head

    The Twi-leks in Book of Boba Fett look like their lekku are a normal extension of their head, Dawson looks like she's wearing a hat.
    A creased rubber hat.

    It've seen amateur cosplayers at comic con with better Ahsoka costumes than that
    Given the budget, could have been much better.
    But that's not new either, and it's certainly not limited to Star Wars

    The argument that I've heard is that the longer lekku isn't practical for the action sequences. You'll then bring up the LA Shaak Ti in AOTC on Geonosis; but she's not really running around all that much the way Rosario's role demands.

    But that is still in reference to costumes; not CGI. If Ahsoka (or Grogu or Black Krrsantan for that matter) were digitized as opposed to the actors wearing costumes, there'd likely be more people screaming about it, not less.

    Bruce is human and still has his arm in a sling, I am so confused!



    And he still doesn't have Carol's number, probably.

    (why are people jabbering about the CGi, this is like 900x more important)

    Don't get me wrong, I'm actually hugely excited about this series--it's the MCU show I'm most hyped to see this year by far.

    But the reason I, for my part, am griping about the CGI is, Tatiana Maslany is an absolute legend whom I've been waiting to see come back on a mainstream show, and she deserves better than visual effects that would've looked dated 10-15 years ago. I'm hoping they'll continue to polish it in post. (Still, weird they posted a trailer that's visually below usual MCU standards.)

    You haven't seen the Hulk and Black Widow parody gif, that I've seen. [face_hypnotized]

    Same with Freeborn Yoda.

    Disney isn't exactly poor, can't be that hard to bump up the budget an extra $5-10 mil just to get better visual effects if it's important to bring the central character to life.

    Netflix is breaking the bank to deliver on Stranger Things , so is Amazon for the LOTR series.

    I prefer costumes, practical effects look better because they're actually there.

    I don't have a problem with decisions made for practical purposes, but they could still have been done better with a little more time and effort put in.
    The Grand Inquisitor doesn't have to have a big head, but he lacks the other features also. He looks like a completely different race to what we saw in Rebels, how hard is it to get that right?
    Rosario Dawson can get functional lekku that help her do the fight stuff without it looking like a cheap rubber costume shop prop they stuck on her head.

    We'll see what happens when any of these shows finally arrive.

    But I'd expect big spectacle from Amazon if they spend over $500million making a TV show

    That could end up being Netflix paying for its own epitaph.

    I can definitely tell you that all the CGI in the Star Wars TV shows is of a much higher quality than this CGI.

    ETA: To demonstrate, it's precisely this much better (explanation: the mudhorn represents Star Wars TV CGI, and Din Djarin represents She-Hulk CGI):

    Agreed - she's incredible. I actually really wanted Maslany to play Rey in the ST (when it was rumored she was in the running). I think the trilogy would've been significantly improved with her charisma at its center.

    Well, in the Dr. Strange thread i said that MCU's phase 4 main problem is the timeline. You basicly have no idea when the events are happening.
    As for Bruce arm it could that the series ( like Hawkeye) is set more than a year after Endgame while Shang Chi was just a couple of months after it. Marvel is not really clear about that.

    Star Wars TV is heavy in the practical effects though and is smart enough to try to mask things that are CGI heavy with stuff like mud or sand (the way Spielberg was able to hide the 90s Dinosaur CGI in Jurassic Park by having the full body shots generally in the dark or the rain intercut with close ups of the animatronics that looked good).

    Marvel doesn't really do stuff much like that as far as I'm aware.

    This looks really bad and I feel bad for the CG artists who are going to be overworked and underpaid to try and make it passable by August. Show otherwise looks... fine. A bit generic but I wonder if they're toning down whatever uniqueness it might have to make it more palatable to wider audiences.

    I mean, Grogu is real. In terms of being physically there on set for the actors to interact with and react to what is happening rather than talking to a ball on a stick.
    Far more real than Prequels Yoda

    A) She-Hulk is set before Shang-Chi (or possibly even Endgame, but that's less likely since they've talked about focusing on the Blip metaphor for Covid, etc as a Phase 4 theme) and his experiments here are what helps him return to human form in SC.
    A-1) A pre-Endgame setting would explain the arm. A post-Endgame/pre-SC setting could suggest that Prof Hulk's arm has healed but not puny Banner's.

    B) She-Hulk is set after SC and he's always been able to swap back and forth, but has chosen to stay half-and-half/best-of-both-worlds the entire time until SC for whatever reason.

    C) She-Hulk is set after SC and is what turns him back into Prof. Hulk after whatever events turned him human before SC.
    B-1/C-1) His arm has healed since then.
