They gave the CGI mouth from the hit movie Justice League (2017) a whole body 😱😱😱

[–]OjamasOfTomorrow 225 points226 points  (1 child)

Happy to see him moving up in the acting industry!

[–]Peanut_Butter_Toast 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Wonder if he's friends with this guy:

Holy shit.

[–]Hiromi580 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Zack was right about it all coming around full circle 😂

[–]Mandalor1974 521 points522 points  (8 children)

To cut costs they used unreal engine 2 on walmart black friday sale laptops. Wtf

[–]CthulhuFood 62 points63 points  (5 children)

Anytime I hear cutting costs and CGI in relation to this film, I think of NC superman fighting a giant spider. How much money did they spend on that and how much did it add to the story.

They really should have just used old footage from the movies and tv shows. Then explained that this footage is animated because it takes place in Batman Animated series universe (kind of like how they showed the one flash in a black and white universe in the film).

[–]Mandalor1974 28 points29 points  (4 children)

Agree. There was so much “wtf is this” moments where i was left wondering how an actual big budget director looked at this and was like “yup, looks great. Lets roll with it”. And so many people that saw this same shit were like “yeah, one of the greatest hero movies made to date”. Their credibility is shot to hell. And i have more dread than hype about this guy being in charge of getting Brave and the Bold done right.

[–]EnergyTakerLad 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Easy, none of them said that until they were paid to.

[–]Mandalor1974 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Either way it compromises their credibility. Now when these same heads talk about “Superman Legacy is the best DC movie since The Dark Knight” everyone is just gonna roll their eyes and expect it to look like PS3 cutscenes with fart jokes lol. I want to give these guys a chance but theyre making it real hard with what theyre putting out and how theyre talking about it.

[–]EnergyTakerLad 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Oh I agree. But also I've never trusted the words of celebrities on things like this. They're always going to be biased in some form. Word of mouth by regular people is much more influential.

[–]Mandalor1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. Theyre gonna have to come with some really legit, great looking and hard hitting movie without the same old cookie cutter and tired messaging and just makes comic movies that bring the comics to life minus the “interpretations”. Thats the only way theyre gonna win anyone over.

[–]farben_blas 379 points380 points  (15 children)

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Modok

[–]gav3eb82 34 points35 points  (10 children)

Modok looked better than this.

[–]sarcasticbatkid 8 points9 points  (7 children)

As much as I hate the Henry cavill cgi fuckery. This frame was there for maybe a very short time under a minute, but modok nightmarish looks and his cringey lines were a significant part of the movie

[–]gav3eb82 20 points21 points  (6 children)

In all fairness, I’m not sure the best way to do a live action Modok and it not be laughable. Not an excuse but pretty hard to translate a giant head with itty bitty arms and legs to screen.

[–]V_Pro4 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Yes, even comic Modok makes me laugh sometimes. Live action modok could have turned out way worse if they tried to make him menacing with that design

[–]gav3eb82 0 points1 point  (1 child)

He’s definitely left best to animation and comic art lol

[–]TheOneWhoCutstheRope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah commitment to practical effects and actual talent backing, modok could've been awesome

[–]mexter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easy. Just keep the damned visor down.

[–]Minute_Normal 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Marvel should have went off script with how the comics portrayed him.

[–]gav3eb82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but then everyone would complain because as soon as marvel or dc goes off script with a design everyone loses their mind

[–]UpliftinglyStrong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah bro that honor goes to the Scorpion King. Gloriously bad CGI at it’s best (or worst?)

[–]goldengod828 546 points547 points  (32 children)

WB cgi department fucking him one last time

[–]ToysNoiz 166 points167 points  (24 children)

Don’t blame the VFX department. They were over worked and under paid.

[–]d4ddythor 103 points104 points  (23 children)

That had almost two years.

This is on the director

[–]ToysNoiz 48 points49 points  (19 children)

Director is certainly part of the blame here.

[–]sbstndrks 55 points56 points  (18 children)

Didn't he say this crime against our eyes was intentional?

[–]ToysNoiz 33 points34 points  (4 children)

Yeah, during an interview he tried to bull shit his way out of admitting that the entire film looked like shit.

[–]iDuddits_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thing is, a lot of IT looked like shit too.. I think Andy just needs his eyes checked

[–]Sawgon 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Which movie is this shot from?

[–]leftshoe18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Flash

[–]sbstndrks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Bro was sniffing that copium

[–]Fortune_Cat 14 points15 points  (9 children)

Everything inside speedforce is intentionally abstract. Apparently

Makes sense that way even if it looks shit. So that's my headcannon

[–]NogaraCS 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Tbf there would be no way to make all that stuff look realistic unless the movie had unlimited budget and/or 10 years of VFX work. There was wayyyyyy too much to animate inside the speed force.

[–]Ok_Hurry8751 7 points8 points  (3 children)

I don't know shit about animation, but couldn't they have atleast put more effort into the focus of the shot and less effort into the stuff in the background?

I know that isn't a perfect fix but possibly better than this.

[–]sbstndrks 9 points10 points  (1 child)

It just looks like a PS3 cutscene, when you actually watch it.

I get wanting it to be "abstract", but then actually make it, yknow, abstract, instead of just shitty CGI. There are literally endless ways this could have been done in a cool and much easier way, but the director apparently chose not to.

So either Andy just had this done badly by accident, or it's just a shitty creative choice. Because in the actual movie, it's jarring.

[–]Ok_Hurry8751 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All the "cameos" in the scene I was laughing at. They were there 4 seconds each and all looked like bad McFarlane toys dipped in oil.

[–]Smart_Signal_2106 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's literally animated they even talk about it in the behind the scenes of making it all. The shots are actually filmed in real life and then animated in the speedforce

[–]GaffJuran 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I didn’t mind the bad CGI in the “timeline theater,” it reminded me of a demented merry go round, or the Small World Exhibit at Epcot.

[–]wilwash3r3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a straight man, given then opportunity, I’d fuck him too then gloat to my wife about it.

[–]boringboi_ 98 points99 points  (27 children)

Why did they use CGI for this scene when they had the real footage?

[–]artur_ditu 91 points92 points  (2 children)

Ask visionary director Andy Muschetii

[–]ngl_prettybad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He really fucked up in his final movie

[–]iz92ab 27 points28 points  (2 children)

Came here to say this! It's baffling!! Although they did the same thing with Barry's dad/mom in that chronobowl thing even though they could've actually filmed the scenes

[–]noldor41 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Which I’m not gonna lie kinda makes me believe the director when he said the cgi was intentional. It just mighta been a really poor choice b/c it still just looks like bad cgi.

[–]SaiyanrageTV 25 points26 points  (4 children)

They're trying to play it off as "artistic choice" because hE's mOvInG tHrOuGh TiMe but in reality I think they just were trying to save money where they could. I think they believed they could sell it, but let's be real, it just looks like shit.

If they wanted it to look distorted in some way to highlight he's moving through time (I don't know why that's necessary, it was pretty fucking clear when he is moving through time lol), there are ways of doing that and accomplishing that, that still LOOK GOOD. This looks like PS3 graphics.

I think any excuse anyone involved with that movie gives is just that, an excuse. It looks fucking terrible lol.

[–]AktionMusic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I doubt it was even to save money. They recreated scenes filmed in this movie in CGI. Definitely less expensive to use video clips.

[–]Hi_Im_Paul23 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Why not both

Even if it was to save money, if they decided to do it on purpose, it’s both and artistic choice and saved money as another plus

[–]evadingbanslol 3 points4 points  (1 child)

They mentioned that they had the scenes but they needed them to be 3d (since the camera moves around him) which they didn't have so they had to start from scratch.

[–]boringboi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes sense

[–]22LOVESBALL -3 points-2 points  (9 children)

It was just an artistic choice. Thats how I took it. I didnt mind it.

[–]Short-Service1248 21 points22 points  (8 children)

It’s a god awful artistic choice

[–]jimtl83 176 points177 points  (4 children)

Makes me nostalgic for a ps1 cut scene

[–]FeMtcco 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Thats straight out from Tekken 3

[–]SphmrSlmp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bro have some respect. This is GameCube quality.

[–]Vinlain458 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That first Mortal-Kombat movie is looking really good now.

[–]____Quetzal____ 39 points40 points  (1 child)

Nicholas Cage got more screen time

[–]TraditionLazy7213 78 points79 points  (1 child)

Good luck

[–]ironfist92 127 points128 points  (2 children)

Henry Cavill just continues to get assaulted by CGI. First his moustache and now his whole body.

[–]theADDMIN 4 points5 points  (1 child)

And became a side character in his own show. Poor guy. Glad he quit.

[–]Chemical_Product5931 56 points57 points  (1 child)

This movie was delayed for 2 years and they couldn’t do anything with the cgi

[–]mattyglen87 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is their biggest sin. This movie had an extended period in the oven and their was ample time to improve this

[–][deleted] 46 points47 points  (1 child)

WB has fucked Henry more than his GF has and in the words of Micheal Scott, “you expect to get screwed by your company, but you never expect to get screwed by your girlfriend”

It ended like it began: not strong enough to be a bang, not terrible enough to be a whimper.

[–]HappyAppy23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This makes the Rock in The Mummy sequel look like Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean 2.

[–]Liliththemarksoc 20 points21 points  (0 children)

[–]jakeeyd2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i honestly don’t have a clue how this was green lit to go into theatres and not even fixed for the digital release this is scorpion king level cgi

[–]x_Space_Man_x 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Scorpion King vibes.

[–]Solid_Rice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

LOL what the hell is that? They put that in the movie?

The disrespect on my boy

[–]InfinityMan6413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For now. Tbh I think it’s likely at some point we’ll get a NWH situation with some of the Supermen, or at least that’d really kick ass.

[–]JosephFinn 2 points3 points  (2 children)

That’s not his last appearance. His last one was in Justice League.

[–]BigDumbApe 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Actually it would be his cameo tag at the end of BLACK ADAM.

[–]JosephFinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now we’ve all agreed that movie doesn’t exist. 😂

(Thank you, I forgot about that.)

[–]Beginning-Pipe9074 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And he looks like an oiled up blow up doll

[–]TheCrazyGuysCEO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

mf looks like a low high tier Gmod playermodel

[–]LordPayter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See I thought the flash movie was fun. But the lack of thought through these character cameos was beyond me. Like I understand they can’t bring

SPOILERS

Matt reeves or a young Nicholas Cage in to reprise it (obviously he’s dead and Nic is way older) But, wouldn’t you think they’d at least try a little harder to make it look semi real? They delayed the movie over a year for “the strain on the visual effects industry” you’d think they work tirelessly to correct the mistakes of the original justice league movie. Like they didn’t learn from the outrage from the CGI upper lip of Supes that drove the world insane (fan or not that was bad for everyone)

Side note:

Also the lack of vision for the overall universe drives me up the wall as a hardcore DC fan. I really felt like Synder had something going (it had it mistakes but at least it made sense) but now they seem to just release movies for the sake of releasing them. I’m personally sad they’re rebooting as I enjoyed Bat fleck and Henry Cavil’s Superman but I hope James Gunn has more of layout for the storylines and the new DCU. Only one can pray 🙏 Let me know what you think

I think Nick Cage is the only one that looked half acceptable in this scene.

Such a bummer because the actual story and scenes of the flash were fantastic. That cgi though lol.

WTF did Henry Cavill ever do to deserve this?

Like, it’s ultimately on WB executives who appear faceless, so why did Henry Cavill take the full blunt of the blown and everyone else… Just made money?

[–]BMWnoMoney 0 points1 point  (13 children)

within context of the film it only takes 2 seconds to realize it looked like that on purpose while in the speed force

[–]butiamtheshadows91 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Yep. But still a hard decision to understand, when they could have just used the actual footage

[–]TheJoshider10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the sort of incompetence that big studios are getting criticism for. There is objectively no reason for any VFX artist to be wasted on something like this.

[–]bask3tballz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is correct.

It was supposed to look really stupid on purpose.

[–]Fortune_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that if this was the inte tion that shouldve made it more obvious and intentional not this half way ps1 hyperrealism

[–]SBones83 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This is how you can tell WB hates Cavill. They make Reeves and Cage, actors that have no recent footage as Superman anywhere near HD, look somewhat passable in motion. But Cavill looks like a Gumby-ified version of himself.

How hard would it have been to take old footage of Cavill turning around to look at something and insert the rip in the multiverse, like how they had George Reeves Superman do looking at the Teddy Sears Flash.

[–]iukpun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

look somewhat passable in motion

they also look terrible.

[–]Calm_Garage_3030 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Is it really his last scene, though?This is just a scene from JL when he came back from the dead. I know you guys like to hate on this movie & just want to karma farm from this post where people can hate on this, but please just be stop constantly being negative about DC. It's honestly tiring.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Brilliant well done

[–]TheAmericanCyberpunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this from Flash??? I didn't think he was in that movie. I thought his last appearance was African American Adam.

[–]AeonVex -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

I genuinely like the idea for the Chronosphere. Having this almost dream like appearance worked for me. Having it repeat and wrap around the Chronosphere was cool, I loved the design of this like coliseum of history as the speedsters runs In the center like an omnidirectional treadmill. What I don't get is the hate. Like it was very clearly intentional as when Dark Flash shows up and knocks Barry out he isn't the same quality of cg he is intended to look real. The Chronosphere projections are clearly not. But to each their own. I think it's just getting way more hate than it should. I want creative choices like this. This one didn't work out perfectly but I definitely don't want to discourage future directors from getting creative with visualising some of the crazier stuff DC has to offer.

[–]Jimbo_jamboree1234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It amazes me how can WB still get cgi this bad with the technology we have these days.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This looks like one of those bad movie tie in games from the PS3. Watching it, I was also like why are they doing CGI for Christopher Reeve? Should’ve just used stock footage for all of them. The biggest head scratchers were the Nic Cage Superman cameo which who asked for that, and the Clooney cameo. His movie was terrible. Nobody was clamoring to see him back. Just odd
