10 CGI Moments In The MCU We All Missed
10. Thena’s Costume - Eternals
If you cast your mind back to the Eternals expose at 2019's D23 event, you may have noticed Thena looks quite different to how she appeared in the movie. Originally draped in armour akin to a medieval knight, Angelina Jolie's finalised outfit was sleek, and accompanied with a billowing, white skirt. After making this observation, one would naturally assume the film crew revised her costume shortly after this expose.
However, the alteration in Thena's outfit occurred after Angelina Jolie shot all of her scenes! Wanting to show off Jolie's dance-like grace, visual effects supervisor, Matt Aitken, decided to to tweak Thena's outfit frame-by-frame with the power of digital effects. So, when you are looking at all the Eternals lined up, everything on Thena from the neck down is computer-generated.
In the hands of an inferior visual company, this feat would've been impossible to pull off seamlessly. But since this CGI was executed by the Gollum-creating studio, Weta, it was a piece of cake.
The fact that most viewers couldn't pick up on this visual, despite Thena appearing throughout the 157 minute film makes this feat all the more impressive.
