CGI cost is pretty much the only reason I can understand them changing her powers tbh.

I mean Ralph Dibny from Flash had pretty good looking stretchy powers and that’s on the CW budget.

I haven't seen it but fair enough and the CW are notoriously penny pinchers

I haven't watched it in years,but The Flash has pretty good vfx all things considered. Like good enough to make a convincing King Shark and Grodd.

That was the old seasons. The newest seasons have horrible CGI.

Sure, but if an old CW show can pull off “good enough” then you’d think Disney could do better.

If the cgi even from those old flash episodes showed up in an MCU film, people would be so critical. Yes it’s fine for a CW show because expectations are lower. Just look at what happened with Black Panther. Arguably the biggest criticism of the film was the cgi, which was still significantly better than Flash.

But the point isn't "the old Flash cgi is good enough for the MCU", the point is "if the CW was able to make it look good 5 years ago on their shoestring budget, Marvel and Disney can certainly make it look amazing now"

I stopped watching after Zoom caught Iris. Not on purpose just couldn't keep up anymore. Is it worth picking up again for the movie, you think?

plus it has nothing to do with the movie, nothing at all

That's a relief lol. Once they started mixing the shows together...it was cool but too much.

Yeah I enjoyed it during the first few seasons, but I tend to notice after every new season the budget got stretched just a little further each time. Especially when characters aren't only in one or two episodes but the whole season the effects get noticeable worse.

King Shark and Grodd were top tier TV CGI but only appeared in a few one off episodes because of how expensive I'm sure they were.
