Why She-Hulk’s CGI is Harder to Get Right Than Hulk’s
There are a few explanations for why the CGI used on She-Hulk in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is not as effective as that used on Hulk. The upcoming MCU Disney+ show features She-Hulk for the first time ever in live-action through a combination of Tatiana Maslany’s performance and CGI.

The uncanny valley is a concept where the more a humanoid object, such as a CGI character, looks human without being human, the more off-putting it looks. Secondly, She-Hulk is an all-new character; therefore, VFX artists are having to
