10 Worst CGI Moments In The Arrowverse
3. Supergirl - The Showdown With Malefic
The scope of last season's Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover resulted in every one of the Arrowverse shows holding back throughout the year. Thus, shortcuts were taken (Killer Frost's voice echo was dropped while Black Canary's Cry was heard rather than seen) to avoid anything costly. Unfortunately, Supergirl didn't take any shortcuts with this one.
A strange scene, it features an unusually poor Martian render as Ma'alefa'ak threatened J'onn and the D.E.O. only to be outsmarted by the Girl of Steel. Then as he shoots at Alex and Brainy, Kara protects them by whooshing in front of the bullets only to slide out of view.
This one became a bit of a viral sensation, with people hating on how poor the effects are.
In all fairness, it's not that bad and is only made same that much worse by the fact that the scene's quick cuts and rushed pacing give you whiplash so it's nearly impossible to understand what's going on if you watch it without context. And because of that, the dodgy CGI stands out more... especially when Kara's CGI double freezes in mid-air and then slides off-screen.
