MCU: 10 Sneaky CGI Moments You Probably Didn't Notice

6. Loki's Crotch (Thor)

This is a bit of a weird one, because, well, it just is, but it appears as though the MCU's special effects guys had to apply some additional CGI touch-ups to Tom Hiddleston's... area, during his appearance in the first Thor film.

Loki's costume in Thor is different to the one he wore in later appearances, and its crotch area is much more visible. It looks like Hiddleston was given a codpiece to combat this, but unfortunately, that resulted in an unusually massive bulge that would've been impossible to miss on a cinema screen. Or any screen, for that matter,

Comparing behind-the-scenes shots with images from the finished film, eagle-eyed fans have noticed that this bulge was dealt with in post-production, with the filmmakers forced to make it smaller, lest they be bombarded with complaints about Loki's massive wanger just floating around. Probably a wise move.
