10 Worst CGI Moments In MCU History

For the most part, Eternals was simply stunning to look at. The cinematography was spectacular, the Deviants, though woefully underdeveloped for villains were hauntingly beautiful, and the detail in the titular aliens’ unique and varied powers were incredible.

The movie has had its fair share of criticism since its release, but one area that can’t be touched is the visuals. This was all before the credits rolled, however. After them, the same can’t be said.

As Makkari, Thena, and Druig flew through space on the Domo, they were joined by two MCU newcomers. Naturally, the focus went to Harry Styles’ portrayal of Starfox, and thankfully so. Pip the Troll emerged with Eros, and was stunningly painful to look at.

Marvel Studios knocked the casting out of the park, as Patton Oswald is clearly the perfect voice for such a character, but how did they and Chloé Zhao allow him to look so poor? This CGI would have looked out of date 20 years ago. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and The Fellowship of the Ring both featured trolls back in 2001, and both looked far more convincing than this one in 2021.

Should the character have a bigger role play in the future of the MCU, which he almost certainly will, Marvel Studios NEEDS to address his aesthetic.
