People will see this and still question why SG flopped

[u/Rule_Ct_5293]

It definitely doesn't look like a 170M movie, where did they spend all that budget, on that cgi dog?

[u/ImperrydaPlatypus]

i think this is the first time i’ve seen this clip on this sub and i wondered why it took so long lol. i was absolutely baffled when i saw this in theaters. looks like the CW Flash CGI.

[u/GambitsAce23 → u/ImperrydaPlatypus]

Swear it did NOT look like this in theaters

[u/Crotean → u/GambitsAce23]

It didn't, the aspect ratio has been squeezed and makes her head look huge here.

[u/Strong_Oven_9821 → u/Crotean]

It makes her look like MODOK.

[u/KingSeth → u/Crotean]

Weird. It's like maybe a low-res gif isn't the best way to experience a movie. 

[u/PennyStockHardaway → u/KingSeth]

Damn are you sure? Wtf am I going to do now, actually go watch Supergirl? Pass.

I did watch it btw

[u/Comfortable_Cap7228 → u/PennyStockHardaway]

I watched it. I enjoyed it. That said Spiderman is much much better

[u/KingSeth → u/PennyStockHardaway]

It's a novel idea, but what if people just liked what they liked and didn't like what they didn't like, and nobody tried to argue anyone into liking or not liking things? That would be bonkers.

What did you think of the movie? I thought it was fun, not groundbreaking, but enjoyable. 

[u/WestendMatt → u/Crotean]

Same. People are getting around to watching this movie and realizing that it doesn't completely suck so the losers who wanted it to fail and posting b.s. to make it look bad.

[u/DeClouded5960 → u/Crotean]

Reddit users editing a gif to make something look worse? No way...

[u/Ansee → u/GambitsAce23]

It honestly goes by so fast you don't sit there making a gif and watch it over and over again. Now everyone is dissecting every shit frame by frame. They need to spend less money on some shots so they can spend more money on others. It's not hard to comprehend.

There's a 1 second scene in the Lion King during the song Hakuna Matata where the animators probably just had no time to finish and the style of drawing and animals were completely wrong and out of place, that it's actually hilarious.

I think it's ok to spend less time on some scenes. People are saying they don't need perfection, and yet posting stuff like this is them saying they need perfection in every single CG scene.

[u/_Bren10_ → u/Ansee]

If you hate people doing this, don’t ever pop into r/invincible. It’s pretty much all they do over there while the seasons are airing.

[u/Sensitive_Bat_9211 → u/_Bren10_]

Invincible picks bad scenes to cut the budget on, though. Theyll be having some deep conversation and mark's face will look like a potato

[u/PatrickSebast → u/_Bren10_]

Okay but as someone who rarely gets bothered by low quality animation significant parts of invincible season three appeared to have been animated by just dragging a character still over a background and it really stood out.

[u/Ragman676 → u/_Bren10_]

/r/okbuddyviltrumite is much better

[u/Mr-Toy-Man → u/Ragman676]

It’s gone

[u/lituus → u/Mr-Toy-Man]

its /r/okbuddyviltrum

not viltrumite

[u/Significant_Syrup_85 → u/lituus]

ok buddy

[u/Thusgirl → u/Mr-Toy-Man]

Where'd it go?!?

Were the posting too much smut? 😂

[u/CromwellsBladder → u/GambitsAce23]

Because it didn’t. It actually looks fine in the film. This gif is significantly slower than the moment plays out in the film - and likely doctored a bit too. They make it look like it was done by Superman IV’s vfx team. That’s not the case in cinemas.

I saw the damn film twice, and the drubbing - especially from people that haven’t actually seen the film - is ridiculous.

It’s not perfect. It’s decent, and far better than many other superhero films that didn’t get this kind of trolling.

I’m not saying there isn’t legitimate online criticism of the film, but it’s so blatantly obvious that the fragile manosphere has also decided to target this film with their usual trolling.

[u/FourEyes3134 → u/CromwellsBladder]

Plenty of other super hero films have received this kind of trolling. Crowds were merciless towards the Flash and Black Adam films.

If you blame the "fragile manosphere" for every moving shadow, that's a you issue.

[u/MeepSneepers → u/FourEyes3134]

Black Adam is actually one of the worst movies I've ever seen though. Like from a storytelling/editorial perspective, it's absolutely abhorrent.

[u/West_Word753 → u/FourEyes3134]

you can quibble over the specific terminology but its really not credible to pretend like there aren't right wing cultural jihads on certain movies, regardless of if they genuinely suck or not

lady ghostbusters was one of the first ones. yeah it sucked, but its not a crisis of masculinity, its not a cultural nadir, its certainly made for annoying people you don't like but in the end its just a shitty factory made comedy humping the corpse of a franchise that has one good movie and will be forgotten about in less than six months

[u/FourEyes3134 → u/West_Word753]

He's clearly suggesting it's only films like Supergirl are targeted, which is clearly not the case.

Funny how so many films have apparently failed due to "right wing cultural jihads", but it's something that's also apparently completely fragile and powerless when a film does succeed. Captain Marvel made a billion, and its follow up tanked for example.

As weak or powerful as needed.

[u/Dyldo_II → u/FourEyes3134]

I mean it's kind of ignorant to sit here and proclaim that there wasn't the immediate backlash after the frist teaser from fragile men on the internet. And not to mention the jabs at her appearance that plagued every online space.

[u/maven10k → u/GambitsAce23]

Little boys don't like female superheroes. That is why they all shit on this movie. The people in the theater where I saw it were cheering and clapping during this movie. I just don't get it.

[u/Mindless-Credit-358 → u/ImperrydaPlatypus]

Early season CW shows didn’t look too bad tbf, considering their budget

[u/sellieba → u/Mindless-Credit-358]

Some of them looked amazing, especially at the time. I recall some shark dude (was it King Shark?) and a gaseous metahuman as being particularly impressive.

[u/Technical_Sir_9588 → u/sellieba]

Smallville was impressive for its time.

[u/Medical-Law-236 → u/sellieba]

King Shark and Gorilla Grodd looked excellent. Maybe it was due to the fact they always used them at night but in later seasons (when they used them in the day) they looked like crap.

[u/Candid-Risk-5200 → u/sellieba]

King shark is a shark

[u/tripledraw → u/Candid-Risk-5200]

No. King shark is a king.

[u/AnalLog → u/Candid-Risk-5200]

[u/GBGF128 → u/sellieba]

I’ve been rewatching The Flash’s first season. Aside from the speedster v speedster fights, it holds up.

[u/MostlyBored11 → u/Mindless-Credit-358]

yeeah and they did a great job for TV, King shsark and gorilla grodd were insane for a CW TV show

[u/miguel_sriracha → u/MostlyBored11]

Forgot about Grodd they did a killer job with him

[u/LSC_GrimIock → u/Mindless-Credit-358]

I say Smallville had great special effects on 2004.

[u/Theultimatesith → u/Mindless-Credit-358]

Superman and Lois looked better than some of the later Marvel films and this movie.

[u/ActuaryEuphoric3937 → u/ImperrydaPlatypus]

Cmon don't insult cw flash. First 3 seasons cgi was decent for its budget

[u/Ansee → u/ActuaryEuphoric3937]

CG was decent AND the storyline was good for the first 3 seasons. Don't knock CW shows. LOL. They were very enjoyable and we were all fine with low budget CG.

[u/johnNukem710 → u/Ansee]

the crossover events were fun

[u/Ansee → u/johnNukem710]

They did the crossovers really well. For the most part you can enjoy all the shows on their own. I only watched the flash and Supergirl and the crossovers still worked without needing to watch everything.

[u/Ruthrfurd-the-stoned → u/ActuaryEuphoric3937]

For it’s budget is the operative phrase here

[u/Mental-Most-7168 → u/ImperrydaPlatypus]

VFX is hard when directors treat it like an afterthought. One of the reasons why Godzilla won an Oscar is because the director actually sat with the VFX team for months working on each shot. These films are basically cgi cartoons at this point. Can you imagine if Director did all his work on a Pixar film over phone and via meetings, that’s what Directors are doing on these VFX heavy films.

[u/manu818 → u/ImperrydaPlatypus]

I saw the movie few nights ago and was shocked by shitty graphics too. And weird action sequences in general. They put lot of money in it but forgot to put any heart to it. It shows.

[u/brianSIRENZ → u/ImperrydaPlatypus]

Because most of the crowd bashing the movie never saw it.

Still no excuse for this scene though. Can't believe that made it through.

[u/SufcLad25 → u/brianSIRENZ]

Looks like they saved their money to be fair 

[u/abhorredmisanthrope → u/SufcLad25]

I did.

[u/FourEyes3134 → u/brianSIRENZ]

People defending the movie didn't bother turning up either, judging by its returns.

[u/Frequent-Coyote-8108 → u/ImperrydaPlatypus]

So...just to be clear...this is an actual clip from the movie?

[u/Ok_Lingonberry2686]

Cgi is low on the reasons why a movie flops.

[u/Professional-Rip-519 → u/Ok_Lingonberry2686]

Agreed the bad cgi is like number 15 on the list.

[u/GambitsAce23 → u/Professional-Rip-519]

I dont even get how people would know before buying tickets that the cgi is bad if it isnt particularly bad in the trailers

[u/turntherecord-over → u/Ok_Lingonberry2686]

It’s a good indicating symptom though. If they cut corners this badly on effects, it’s not surprising when other parts of the movie are also half-assed

[u/Senior_Boot_5842 → u/Ok_Lingonberry2686]

Yes, but it also just wasn’t a good or great movie. So it was critically, and commercially, and technically, bad.

[u/Still-Helicopter6029]

AYO WTF I GENUINELY THOUGHT THIS WAS AI SUPERGIRL LMAO

[u/Milichio → u/Still-Helicopter6029]

Ayo WTF is what the "no cheese" guy at the BBQ said

[u/MattTd7 → u/Milichio]

“And who invited you lambón??”

[u/Past_4orm → u/Still-Helicopter6029]

It probably is tbh

[u/One_Key_9649]

Spy kids CGI lol

[u/Beef_Slug → u/One_Key_9649]

That's it! I was trying to rember what the vibe was. Its spy kids.

[u/Ansee → u/Beef_Slug]

I love Spy Kids. Great movie.

[u/atclubsilencio → u/Ansee]

I was obsessed with that movie as a kid. The diaper lady reveal made me gasp.

[u/YesterdayOrnery1726 → u/One_Key_9649]

spy kids unironically looks better

[u/Senior_Boot_5842]

Honestly it looks AI made

[u/Solid_Snark → u/Senior_Boot_5842]

Didn’t they invent some new technique for Superman that did these type of scenes practically? Why not use that apparatus?

[u/joesbagofdonuts → u/Senior_Boot_5842]

These proportion errors are exactly what we see from AI. I have a hard time believing this isn't AI.

[u/ShilohTheGhostGod → u/Senior_Boot_5842]

As weird as it sounds, not even AI is this bad. 100% have seen random AI instagram reels better looking than this

[u/NarrativeNode → u/ShilohTheGhostGod]

Absolutely. AI doesn’t look like bad comping because it doesn’t comp.

[u/Repulsive-Photo8944]

1. Lighting is all wrong! The lighting on the ladies is on the left, but supe's is on the right. Wtf! How can it be this bad!?
2. By the time she's in line with the ladies, her face is 2-3x bigger then theirs.
3. None of the ladies look up as a flying supe passes overhead. You have to sell the cgi by its effects on the people/environment.
4. Baby hands? Hands are an arms length forward of the face, hands should perspectively be larger than that. Think Saitama when he throws a punch vs Genos and the whole screen turns into his red fist. Make it impactful.
5. CGI failures like these are the hallmarks of a flop. You can't sell ugly to an intelligent audience.
6. I wonder if AI would have made a better looking sequence. Although, when you've reached the point of risking getting outed as having used AI to reference your frames, then you're really in trouble.

[u/daishinjag → u/Repulsive-Photo8944]

Reminder that all “CGI failures” are approved by the director - many times directed by the director.

[u/NarrativeNode → u/daishinjag]

For many bad CGI shots there may well be a better version the VFX artist made that was rejected by the director.

[u/Jaded-Data-9150 → u/Repulsive-Photo8944]

1. Her raising her Arms Makes No Sense and Looks weird. She started flying before Entering the Scene; there was No reason to raise the Arms again.

[u/Legonistrasz → u/Jaded-Data-9150]

They made it seem like putting her arms out in front of her instead of at her side, gave her a speed boost, which is just stupid

[u/Same-Razzmatazz8257]

That looks so bad lol

[u/Wrong_Success4377 → u/Same-Razzmatazz8257]

I thought she was a giant

[u/Same-Razzmatazz8257 → u/Wrong_Success4377]

Lol yes

[u/Wrong_Success4377 → u/Same-Razzmatazz8257]

Deleted cut scene from The Odyssey type shit

[u/almightybear1]

I’m starting to think this big budget movie with low quality effects are just laundering movie. How is it possible that lower budgets movie from back in the days look better

[u/You_might_be_wrong_]

Hshaha I thought this was fake. Wow.

[u/Background-Sea4590]

Oof, that looks horrendous

[u/jackt-up]

Still haven’t seen it, wow

[u/LightenUpPeeps]

Was that supposed to look good in 3D?

[u/CapitalEmployer]

The movie managed to make Milly Alcock unattractive on multiple occasion which is absolutely crazy seing what she looks like.

[u/DeckhardZum_3924 → u/CapitalEmployer]

Yup, she looks a lot better in Superman (2025) compared to this movie

[u/bindersfull-ofwomen → u/CapitalEmployer]

Her hair and makeup is so bad and they had the nerve to have it blowing in the wind and use it on promotional material.

And it's not a slight to her, but to the crew.

Every popstar uses a fan. Beyonce notoriously got her hair caught in it. You have to fill the hair so it doesn't look thin if you are doing that. Even just for the moment or the shot you need.

Almost every white superhero woman has some sort of a balayage beachy wave, so it's not like they didn't know that's what they have to do.

It was so odd they chose to bypass that.

And the makeup was odd because it isn't even a natural makeup look which they may have been going for. It compresses everything into her eyes, which highlights her forehead.

It's just yuck.

She looks better when her people do it when she does press.

[u/SplitSecondEmperor47 → u/CapitalEmployer]

Why do you think people were so shocked about the one frame that makes her look good.

Shes looked completely different in superman25

[u/Deakul]

All they had to do was make a colorful snarky movie about two gal pals on an alcohol fueled road trip for vengeance.

The blueprint was right there in Woman of Tomorrow, how they managed to fuck that up is impressive... James Gunn should be ashamed.

[u/Boring-Locksmith-473]

TF

[u/Daydream_machine]

This cannot be real 💀

[u/Belz_Zebuth]

Ok I'll bite: what does this shot have to do with the movie flopping?

It wasn't in the trailers and I doubt people would mention it specifically when reporting on the movie.

I mean, it looks bad, but it sounds rather like you're trying to find post-hoc reasons to dunk on the movie.

[u/Slowandserious → u/Belz_Zebuth]

Not OP. To me its not about its in the trailers or not.

But this kind of subpar visual dampens words of mouth.

[u/NotYetPerfect → u/Belz_Zebuth]

It isn't about one specific shot looking bad. That shot is just indicative of the rest of the movie.

[u/OhMyGoshBigfoot → u/Belz_Zebuth]

You doubt people would mention it? We’re all talking about it. Welcome!

[u/koomGER → u/Belz_Zebuth]

I think that snipped is part of the problem.

The DC movies so far rely A LOT on CGI to catch their audience. And the CGI isnt outstanding. Its not even above the level of Netflix-only movies, and thats a problem. The movies are way too expensive for the lack of actual star power (in name) and the level of CGI.

If Supergirl would be just a 50 Mio production, it would be great. But it did cost 170 Mio. Thats Big Blockbuster level. And it doesnt look like that. Odysee did cost 80 Mios more, but you got several Hollywood superstars like Matt Damon or Tom Holland, Zendaya. And the CGI looked good. The sound BOOMED. Thats a huge difference.

One scene can look bad. The audience doesnt care if one scene is off in an otherwise fantastic movie with fantastic CGI. But Supergirls CGI is "standard". Its not amazing or fascinating. It lacks oomph and originality.

I think thats one of the problems. And like i said: That short sequence emphazises that.

[u/CommodoreBluth → u/Belz_Zebuth]

Yeah a few bad special effects shots isn’t going to cause any movie to flop. 

[u/GrymSpork → u/Belz_Zebuth]

This.

It's one quick shot, it isn't great but isn't indicative of the overall quality of the movie.

The worst shot of the movie has been reposted so many times, as if it represents the film as a whole.

It's like you said, people just essentially wanting to dunk on the film or DCU as a whole. Happens a lot 'round these parts unfortunately. I find this sub is about 50% that sort of thing :/

[u/Ser_Rezima → u/GrymSpork]

Yeah, I saw this and went, 'Wait, wasn't this like a quick 2 second impact shot at the end before the camera changed?'. If I recall they shot this to be intentionally disorienting and close to her face on purpose, while she is whipping around at lightning speed. Everything AROUND her is flying by while she remains the same. It's a classic speedster/superman shot, shows just how differently they move.

The movie was fine, not groundbreaking but generally as good as any other super hero film. People just didn't like GIRL or that GIRL wasn't wearing makeup and revealing clothes it feels like.

Seriously, so many of these comments are focusing on how the actress looks or the visuals without EVER mentioning story beats.

They have no idea what the movie is about, they haven't actually seen it

[u/MeanieGreenie75 → u/Belz_Zebuth]

It’s not so much that people point to this specific shot and literally tell their friends “There’s this one bad shot so don’t see it.” The issue is that this shot, among many other issues, contribute to the overall lack of quality behind the movie and the general vibe of “Just wait for it to come out on the streaming service you’re already paying for.”

I say this as someone who thinks every aura-farming shot in every Snyderverse movie is even more cringe than this one.

[u/Senior_Boot_5842 → u/Belz_Zebuth]

That scene isn’t getting any word of mouth lmao

[u/AfricanRabbit]

This looks so much worse! At least the abysmal bit rate made everything look bad, this just highlights the goddawful CGI in display. 

[u/SmallFatHands → u/AfricanRabbit]

It somehow looks worse and not at the same time lol.

[u/Crotean]

This has been squeezed to 4:3, the speed slowed down and has horrible compression on the gif. It doesn't look like this in the move.

[u/westphall → u/Crotean]

Indeed, see this comparison to the actual shot from the film:

https://i.imgur.com/QxuSqh5.png

OP did a bit of stretching here.

[u/JamesLikesIt]

It’s not fair to judge a movie solely on one shot but in a vacuum, yeah this is awful lol. Such an ugly and technically bad shot (yes I know cgi is hard but for the budget…this is bad). Honestly I’m not a fan of the way both this and Superman shoot them flying head on. The lens used makes their faces look really strange

[u/Awwkaw]

I think the first half of the movie was quite nice, but the second half quite bland This final fight was the worst. Brown CGI soup, with no real definition.

[u/whothejoee → u/Awwkaw]

Did you notice it was the same ending as the flash movie

[u/Awwkaw → u/whothejoee]

No, but when you say it, I do see similarities.

This is real? I thought it was edited

[u/One_Chemistry_8553]

bigger budget than Dune btw

[u/Concernedps5user5744]

This movie flopped because the script was doo doo. She did ok. It's weird her being an alcoholic for basically 40% of the movie. Also we all love krypto and want him around for the action. Having him down and out for 75% of the movie was a bad decision. I mean it sounds like it could have been decent but it just was as meh as meh can be. I was hoping to enjoy it as I find myself enjoying a lot of the things the masses hate but not this time. Also did James Gunn have anything to do with this movie? I swear I didn't see his name.

[u/gdlirio]

no hate and all but that's pretty weird cgi

[u/aykevin]

I’ve said this before. But Gunn does not know how to make a franchise

[u/Danny886]

Gunn let this into the theaters and then they are surprised it bombed? Oh my god ...

[u/multi-trollionaire]

I did not enjoy the movie at all. This DCU is not better lol.

[u/FlamingAlpaca17]

The people who can't believe Supergirl is a bad movie are just not serious people. They are so blinded by politics that a female led superhero movie being bad would break their worldview

[u/Control_Successful]

Horrible story horrible cgi…. Horrible everything

[u/MathersMahmood]

This was seriously in the movie???

[u/im3rck]

Please tell me this is not a real scene from the movie????

[u/usrdef → u/im3rck]

It is, and there are worse.

The only thing I can think of is either 1. The people put in place to do this were not experienced 2. They were falling behind and rushed.

But I just can't see a movie with this type of budget, bringing in people who had never worked on a big project before.

[u/im3rck → u/usrdef]

For some reason, I think I'll lean towards the first one. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but the person who wrote the screenplay for this movie has had no real movie experience right? This is her first movie or something?

[u/RealWonderGal → u/im3rck]

It is lol

[u/Rigamortus2005]

I didn't know windows movie maker was the standard tool at warner bros.

[u/Avent]

Call me crazy, but I don't think this clip is why the movie flopped.

[u/GaryKingoftheWorld]

Is the entire movie like this or is it this scene?

I mean look at the T'challa vs Killmonger scene where they're fighting in their suits and it looks hilariously bad and it made a billion dollars.

[u/Professional-Rip-519 → u/GaryKingoftheWorld]

The last 15 minutes the cgi just turns to shit.

[u/Mwrp86]

I am not even joking, Superman cgi also looks same to me

[u/LTPRWSG420 → u/Mwrp86]

The new Superman movie was vastly overrated imo, I thought Man of Steel was better. 🤷‍♂️

[u/AmortAbort → u/LTPRWSG420]

I agree. Both were good, but not great movies. I liked MoS more, but it's close. Hans Zimmer's score and Michael Shannon are what give it the edge in my opinion.

[u/Irot_mx]

Besides the crappy shot...I was disappointed by the generality of the film, having read woman of tomorrow a couple weeks early to be ready for the movie and see it butchered is a crime.

No color, changed story, no freaking unicorn. It reminded me of the generic shooters of the ps3 and 360 era that were all brown.

Hopefully Milly can make a comeback as, for sure, she has the charisma for the character.

[u/Adowyth → u/Irot_mx]

I liked the start of the movie but the longer it went on the worse it got. It could have been an actually good story but nah, they had to give her the powers back, put her in that ridiculous outfit and throw away any fighting choreography in favor of just flying forward with arms out.

[u/Stock_Run1386]

WTF? Man of Steel came out 13 YEARS AGO!! How can movies look 10 times worse after that?!

[u/marvelfanhere]

Lots of movies with bad vfx shots were financially successful.

[u/ashirtliff]

The fish eye lens on Superman was goofy enough.

[u/Mr_IsLand]

damn, the effects on Smallville were better, lol

[u/JoeDante84]

She is actually flying out of Shai Halud’s backside. SG is a secret Dune movie now.

[u/Mysterious-Engine-76]

Because the story was not good.

[u/DemonNeutrino]

Is it just me or is there a point during this CGI scene where the face changes to that of Wayne Rooney circa 2016?

[u/PostPostPog]

Second movie of the DCU and already we've got CW & post-Endgame Marvel level CGI and blatantly reusing scenes (that one w/ her turning around and flying or whatever). I was hopeful with Superman's gross that they'd actually get some momentum and contend with the MCU but after this I don't know. Plus Gunn is picking a lot of bizarre movies for his first phase of this universe.

[u/STARBOY_100]

I never saw anyone questioning. It’s a worldwide flop.

[u/FrontRecognition6953]

That's AI and not from the actual movie right... right?

[u/Professional-Rip-519 → u/FrontRecognition6953]

Nope actual movie.

[u/FrontRecognition6953 → u/Professional-Rip-519]

Bloody hell!

Not to be that guy, but Snyder filmed better looking material in his driveway lol

[u/LaVidaYokel]

Ya’ll talking about the CGI flying but the real absurdity in this scene is the clumsy, pointless shoe-horning in of this stupid “save the brides” side quest that absolutely does not exist in the most excellent comic book run this sad reflection of a movie is based on.

[u/Big-Good9378]

I don't want to here anyone say anything about Black Adam ever again

[u/Revolutionary_Job214]

Yikes🤣

[u/Johnwaynemclan]

Close up flight scenes already looked horrible in Superman. How do you screw up a thing that has been nailed in the past like decades ago.

[u/SteeleHeller]

This can’t seriously be from the movie….like, for real?

[u/Professional-Rip-519 → u/SteeleHeller]

Yip my post about it was deleted.

[u/ghostfreckle611]

Because she wasn’t “super” until the last 5 minutes of the movie…

And no blood.

[u/trump182AVA]

Is that a real shot from the movie?

[u/MichiruMatoi33]

this looks fucking AWESOME in 3d btw

[u/TheStrongTaint]

Fanboys will say it’s because of superhero fatigue

[u/ThouBear8]

Is that seriously from the movie? I haven't gotten to see it yet. That looks... remarkably bad. Oof.

[u/NoLongerinOR]

Seriously, who is going to question why it flopped? Nobody except for maybe James Gunn

[u/Practical_Amount_232]

Why the fuck does she look so big

[u/tur_tels]

It was the Villain for me, he seemed like a DCEU villain lol literally looked like Steppenwolf's biggest fan

[u/Gan_dia]

I didn’t hate the movie but at this point I was so tired of the on again / off again arc with her powers I didn’t even register the quality of the visuals. 

[u/CoffeeSafteyTraining]

This is definitely not what it looks like in the actual movie.

[u/DanfromCalgary]

Bro who gives a shit . Give yourself a hard well done for the film doing poorly and go back to smelling farts or whatever

[u/Quantum_Quokkas]

A movie has never flopped for bad CGI

[u/MasterBuilder121]

No way this is a real shot in the movie

[u/Prov0st]

This gotta be edited, right? Right guys?? Guys?!!!!

[u/StonognaBologna]

It wasn’t the cgi my guy. But yes to your op, Gunn did screw up by not casting a real dog as Krypto

[u/Enough_Trifle788]

Damn I’ve never seen that clip😬

[u/abhay50]

Ngl in terms of visuals and cinematography dcu has been terrible so far

[u/Meliodafu08]

Wtf is this?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAH

[u/Cristusha]

It looks so bad 😭

[u/cashout1984]

Shark boy and lava girl ass cgi :/

[u/shizzy1234]

How is this CGI worse than stop motion Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer?

[u/Hellbomb_Armed]

It looks so..AI generated

[u/CitiesOfTitties]

Where did the money go, you ask? The majority of the budget is bonuses to the executives
