Hulka (or She-Hulk, depending on whether you have read comics in Spanish or not) was born in 1980 from the hands of Stan Lee and John Buscema. Its origin is not epic: Marvel was afraid that after the success of ‘The Incredible Hulk’ the producers of his television series would loop the loop and make a female version without the need to give them royalties. and so was born the last great marvel character created by Stan Lee. A character who, seen the first trailer for his series on Disney +, the CGI has treated, according to the entire Internet, pulling regular.

To be true to the truth, the version of She-Hulk that we can see in ‘She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulk’ is quite faithful to much of the comics on which it is based. Of course she has had periods of lack of control and cartoonists that have made her much more muscular, especially as Red She-Hulk and Gray She-Hulk, but if that is the main complaint, it is not so different from the one she devised, for example, John Byrne.
But the fans did not complain exclusively about his little musculature, but the fact that the CGI, at times, seemed half done in the trailer. And apparently, part of the blame lies with… Marvel itself. As Sean Ruecroft, an ILM artist who has literally disappeared from Twitter after dropping the bombshell and subsequently deleting the tweets, put it, Marvel He kept asking for She-Hulk to be smaller. of what they were doing.
I was in a company that did the special effects for this. Apparently she was bigger at first, but the notes kept saying “make her smaller”. We always roll our eyes (like we did on ‘Sonic’) but at the end of the day the artists have to follow orders.
Although it is true that the special effects left a lot to be desired, maybe there is no blame to blame anyone (or throw it at everyone): Marvel wanted a very specific She-Hulk based on the classic comics, the special effects team complied, but perhaps because they met the notes that passed from Marvel, they did not arrive in time at a CGI to match. .and, in the end, much of the public what I wanted to see was another type of more muscular She-Hulk and modern.
I know what you are thinking: “No! It’s just really bad CGI!”, but things are not usually so radical and there are always nuances. We will see if there is time until August 17 to improve visual effects after the first trailer for ‘She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulk’ set off all the alarms in the Marvel offices. Honestly, if they get a good grasp of the complex sense of humor in the comics, I’d be in for a treat.
