Why Moon Knight's CG Is Much Worse Than Other MCU Shows
Warning: Contains spoilers for Moon Knight.
Why is Moon Knight’s CG so much worse than the other MCU shows on Disney+? While nothing in Moon Knight is outright terrible to look at, many of the visual effects in the show come across as being a step down from its contemporaries, which is especially bad when they also had problems in that field.

The jackals Arthur Harrow controls have been the most often cited example, with them often not blending well into the environments, but the Moon Knight and Mr. Knight costumes have also been noted to be too obviously CG to the point of distraction.

In defense of Disney+'s Moon Knight, however, this is hardly a problem unique to it, as other MCU properties have been met with similar criticisms. As previously stated, other Disney+ shows such as
