She-Hulk Showrunner, Producer, And Star Address Trailer CGI Complaints
The release of Marvel’s She-Hulk trailer gained a lot of attention online, but not all of it was positive. The main criticism is around the trailer’s supposedly poor CGI. The internet can be a genuinely horrible place sometimes, but one silver lining is that the discussion has shone a light on the unreasonable working conditions and pressures on the VFX artists who work on these shows.
The main players behind the show addressed the green elephant in the room at a recent Television Critics Association panel.

Tatiana Maslany, who plays Jennifer Walters and her emerald alter ego She-Hulk, stated;
“I feel incredibly deferential to how talented these artists are and how quickly they have to work. Obviously, much quicker than should be given to them.”
“I know there’s lots of eyes on the CG and critique or whatever. I do think we have to be super conscious of how work conditions aren’t always optimal and that they’ve made these amazing strides in the industry and the tech.”
Continuing the support of the work, show creator Jessica Gao followed up by saying:
“It’s just a massive undertaking to have a show of this scale where the main character is CG, it’s a very overwhelming and ginormous thing to take on and it’s terrible that a lot of artists feel rushed and feel the workload is too massive.”
Sadly, it was inevitable that a show featuring a physically powerful, successful woman would draw criticism from some of the darker corners of the internet. Producer Kat Coiro stated:
“There’s a lot of talk about her body type. We based her a lot on Olympian athletes, not bodybuilders, but I think if we’d gone the other way, we would be facing the same critique. I think it’s very hard to win when you make women’s bodies.”
She-Hulk is due to be released on Disney+ on August 18th.
