The trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has debuted, and the, um, ‘quality’ of CGI on show has drawn a lot of mockery on social media.

The upcoming Disney+ series, set to premiere on the streaming platform on August 17th, follows Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, a mild-mannered lawyer who’s also prone to becoming an intense green monster like her cousin Bruce Banner.

She-Hulk will crucially share continuity with the other films and TV series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Tim Roth’s Emil Blonsky aka The Abomination carrying over from last year’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

The CGI in the trailer though. Oh my, the CGI. As the green-hued She-Hulk, Maslany often resembles a cruder version of Princess Fiona from Shrek. Or a character from Space Jam 2. Whenever the CGI appears, it feels so incongruous to the scene around it.

“They better fix the CGI or they better delay the show. 3 months before release and you put specific chosen shots to make people hyped and you put scenes like that? Still will watch but I feel bad for those vfx workers needing to rush everything lately,” was one Twitter user’s considered opinion. “Marvel I’m begging you to give VFX artists enough time to do their jobs,” wrote someone else.

Many others compared the level of CGI unfavourably to video games, including Resident Evil Village. Many, many more seriously latched onto the Princess Fiona vibes.

It’s not all doom and gloom: Maslany, Roth, and Ruffalo (Bruce Banner) are all extremely capable actors who could carry this so-far cartoonish-looking mess. And MCU fans may be mocking the trailer right now, but they’ll inevitably watch the series in their droves in August. In the meantime, check out some of the other best reactions to the CGI below.
