10 More Awful Times Movie Actors Were Combined With CGI

The country of Wakanda is one of the most stunning creations in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a perfect blend of nature and technology that feels as wildly fantastical as it does real and lived-in: Black Panther's world-building is one of its strongest elements.

But its character models? Eh, not so much.

The final fight sequence between T'Challa and Killmonger is an underwhelming end to a solid film, and the special effects are largely to blame. The characters seem to lack weight and gravity, and their floaty movements don't pack the punch needed to make the confrontation feel visceral and frantic.

It's also quite hard to follow at times: the dark suits blend in with the dark background and the dark train tracks, and after a while, the whole thing starts to look like one dim, incoherent splodge.

It's a shame, because Marvel delivered us some amazing fight scenes between CGI characters literally two months later in Infinity War, and although Boseman and Jordan act their hearts out trying to sell this fight, the effects make it impossible to buy.
