She-Hulk Fans Destroy 'Uncanny Valley' CGI in Marvel Trailer

Marvel fans on Twitter aren't impressed with the new trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, starring Tatiana Maslany. The trailer itself doesn't feature many twists or surprises, but the CGI leaves something to be desired. As one Twitter user said, "Marvel I'm begging you to give VFX artists enough time to do their jobs."

Much of the trailer features Maslany in large, green Hulk form, but the CGI is noticeably bad, leaving the new superhero looking awkward and almost eerie, with a normal-sized green head resting atop a giant body. Unlike other Marvel heroes, Jennifer Walters also appears in her She-Hulk form in her everyday life, making it particularly challenging to create a CGI character that appears alongside regular people at restaurants, in the office, and at home.

Though some Twitter users acknowledged these difficulties, it didn't prevent them from ripping into the She-Hulk trailer. Many compared Maslany's character to Fiona in Shrek, while others expressed solidarity with Marvel's overworked video effects team.

The reason why She hulk looks weird compared to regular hulk is that regular hulk head and face change in order to fit the hulk body; she-hulk has to be hot so her face can't look too weird or gross so we head into uncanny valley looks,however this could also be undone cgi idk. pic.twitter.com/Kf6XJO7G5y

Some HD Shots from the She-Hulk Trailer… she looks a lot better than some of the Low Quality screen grabs would have you believe but she absolutely needs more work… I feel sorry for the VFX artists who’ll be working to the Wire on this One ! 😭🙏#SheHulk #DisneyPlus pic.twitter.com/NodZFItTiJ

But as others pointed out, Marvel has three months to fix the CGI, as She-Hulk: Attorney at Law doesn't premiere until August 17. That should be plenty of time to remove the Shrek effect.
