10 Terrible CGI Moments That Almost Ruined The Walking Dead
5. Close-Range RPG
By adapting the All Out War comic storyline for season 8, The Walking Dead dropped pretty much all pretences of being a serious show and properly embraced its B-Movie influences. While you can trace this shift across the past few seasons, nothing exemplified how much the series' believability had been stretched than Rosita blowing up a Saviour with a rocket launcher at point-blank range.
Even though the shot only lasts a few seconds, there's a lot to unpack in regards to just how daft it is. The CGI rocket that's fired already looks like it could have been taken from a straight-to-DVD Steven Seagal flick, but it's the jaw-dropping way the Saviour's body is pulled upwards by the blast that makes it look so cheesy.
The ridiculous CG sort of sold the cartoony violence in a humorous way, but by resorting to Wile E. Cayote tactics The Walking Dead shed every lingering tie to reality it had left.
