Disney+ Punisher special's CGI draws PS3 comparisons

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A scene from Disney+'s new Punisher special, "The Punisher: One Last Kill," is circulating online due to its perceived low-quality CGI, with some comparing it to PlayStation 3-era graphics. The shot in question features Frank Castle, portrayed by Jon Bernthal, falling onto a rooftop structure. While initially speculated to be an unfinished visual effects shot or a result of recent layoffs impacting Marvel's visual development team, a source later indicated it was primarily an in-camera shot with CGI used to map Bernthal's face onto a stunt double. Despite this particular visual criticism, the special itself has generally received positive reception from fans and critics. AI
