10 God-Awful Scenes In Otherwise Perfect Movies

3. The Dodgy CGI Final Battle - Black Panther

Black Panther quite rightly sits as one of the most important films the MCU has ever brought into existence, with the late Chadwick Boseman-led epic absolutely smashing it at the box office and having a simply monumental cultural impact.

However, while much of Ryan Coogler's first Marvel project unquestionably contains some of the strongest character development, gripping antagonists, and spectacular set-pieces to have tumbled out of the superhero genre, there's still no getting around the fact that Black Panther's climactic duel is about as cartoonish as they come.

The drama pumped into T'Challa and Killmonger's pulsating final battle is palpable. And the visual of the King of Wakanda driving a dagger into his cousin's chest before Erik ultimately claims he'd rather be free than healed and imprisoned remains as powerful today as it did in 2018.

So, it's just a shame that the CGI used to bring the warring rivals' showdown to life in Wakanda's vibranium mine wasn't quite as on point, with the digital effects that looked dated and inauthentic five years ago only becoming more so with each passing year.

Thankfully, most people remember this particular MCU fight more for the emotionally-charged beat that followed it. But that doesn't change the fact that this poorly crafted digital bout of fisticuffs remains one of the only real lowlights in one of the genre as a whole's highlights.
