8 Reasons Not To Get Excited For Avengers: Infinity War

2. Thanos Also Looks Pretty Rubbish

Entirely CGI villains are a worry because the human brain is annoyingly good at spotting fakery. Ultron escaped this to some degree (although the human way his lips moved was really distracting) because he was a robot, and our brains understood that he's supposed to look weird. So far, we've had a peek at Thanos three times (Avengers, Avengers 2, Guardians of the Galaxy) and he's looked pretty shonky in all of them. Guardian of the Galaxy is when the alarm bells started properly going off. Thanos looked terrible, rubbery and inhuman, sat on his silly-looking throne. He's a godling, and so doesn't have to look human-human, but he can't look fake. Or like a rotten plum. Because he really looked like a rotten plum. One that's been left out in the sun too long. Like the cross between a plum and raisin. A plaisin. Basically he looks naff. If Marvel are expecting the audience to look at that hot mess for two films, it's going to need bigger computers.
