One of the most predictable developments that accompanies any popular film is that after it opens in cinemas, the tide begins to turn. like clockwork Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has been re-rated as one of the biggest disappointments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since it came to Disney Plus.

While there’s no harm in not enjoying every single feature or streaming series the franchise is rolling out, it’s still interesting to see how perceptions can shift in the blink of an eye. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness And Thor: Love and Thunder almost immediately saw their reputation take a hit after the dust settled on their big screen runs while eternal is only growing in popularity.

Speaking of Taika Waititi’s incredibly divisive cosmic caper, one of the biggest bludgeons the opinion-splitting blockbuster was hit over the head with was its subpar CGI. Much like its predecessor, Ryan Coogler’s sequel suffers from some underwhelming digital effects – particularly during the dramatic act three showdown – and fans are voicing their frustration.

It’s been a long time since a Marvel Studios project has been universally acclaimed for near-pristine CGI, but love and thunder‘s floating head and some shaky moments She-Hulk: Lawyer stand out more clearly than most for obvious reasons. That has been admitted before Black PantherThe seedy digital creations of were the result of a rushed time frame, but if that was the case with Wakanda foreverthen why would the MCU allow the same thing to happen twice with identical critical results?
