Zora's CGI Power is soooo bad

I mean.. I know the show has a low budget. Most of the CGI isn't very good but oh god. Zora's power is the worst CGI I've ever seen. It's laughably bad. Anyone agree?

Agreed.

Although, to be fair, I don't think they could make her power look realistic even with a Pixar-sized budget. I was actually surprised they even tried to do it. They should have just given her a different set of powers, though that would have pissed off the comic purists.

Curious:

Why do you think it's impossible to display her powers well?

because it's a bunch of purple cubes of light...sure it could have looked better but it's not like it isn't going to look silly regardless.

The CGI on the show is just ridiculous. They can't even make people fly convincingly so anything else was going to get pretty much slaughtered.
Low budget is one thing but it doesn't make a great excuse for just a lack of creativity. The "effect" when Royale disappears with the Iphone bloop sound just makes me want to kill someone.

I'm not even sure what her powers are? pixelated light saber cubed pops? Ok but what does it do? I cringe every time I see it.

It's a take on Invisible Woman's superpower, I think.

"Need" is just a fiction. As is "should", "must", "value" and "importance".

Her effects are nothing compared to how terrible Wolfe's blood spray is. That would have been better done ON a PS2. There's 4.7 litres of blood in a human and I swear he sprays 20 litres out in a cartoon wall of red.

I'm still watching the episodes and that has been the worst thing about it. Sure, Zora's CGI is iffy but Wolfe's is downright terrible.

But that's what makes Wolfe's killing sprees fun rather than horrifying.

I don't mind much because the actress is cute.

The budget's low and the CGI effect are weak. The show is what it is. If you think her FX are that bad you obviously haven't lived long enough to see really bad special effects. Besides I think her effect are some of the better ones on the show.

If you want to see what really bad FXs look like try watching The Amazing Spider-man from 1977.
