10 More Terrible CGI Moments In Big Budget Movies
2. Marvel Studios Is Forced To "Fix" A Dreadful Floating Head - Thor: Love And Thunder
Joining the likes of No Way Home and a bunch of other recent MCU releases that have underwhelmed in terms of the quality of CGI on show, folks were quick to call out Thor: Love and Thunder's various dodgy-looking computer-generated helmets, and one particularly lousy floating head.
Hilariously, though, Marvel Studios actually took note of that latter offence and went out of their way to "fix" it. And in the process they remarkably managed to take an already awful moment of shoddy CGI and make it worse!
As Thor and the gang chat about their new adversary Gorr the God Butcher, none other than Heimdall's son Axl shows up via his ability to project himself across the galaxy.
And it was during this moment that what felt like a lacklustre effect created in about ten minutes flashed onto the screen, with Axl's cheap-looking FaceTime being heavily criticised both before and after it was apparently "improved" for its Disney+ release.

With a budget of $250 million, it's pretty alarming that a film of this size was still having to clean up its VFX a few months after its release. And even then, the end result resembled a poor man's Teletubbies sun.
