A new trailer for the upcoming Superman film has divided fans over a scene featuring David Corenswet as Superman flying. Some criticize the CGI and awkward posing, while others defend the director's choices.
A recently released trailer for the upcoming Superman film has sparked debate among fans due to questions surrounding its visual effects and character portrayal. The scene in question showcases David Corenswet as Superman executing a barrel roll through the air, drawing intense scrutiny. Some critics allege the scene overrelies on computer-generated imagery (CG) augmentation, while others contend that Superman 's flying pose appears awkward and unconvincing.
Despite the inherent difficulty of satisfying every fan, the trailer's reception highlights the passionate dedication of comic book enthusiasts to their beloved characters. Whether it's the unusual positioning of Superman's arms or his slightly unnatural, stoic expression in the final shot, something about the trailer feels amiss. Superman's initial take-off sequence is often a fan favorite, so it's unsurprising that this clip has ignited controversy, prompting director James Gunn to offer his defense. Gunn initially commended the camera angle but acknowledged a perceived issue with Superman's facial expression, stating, 'Great camera angle of Superman flying!! Except there's something with his face that looks a little off. I know there's plenty of time to refine the CG.'To clarify any misconceptions, Gunn swiftly refuted claims of extensive CG manipulation, assuring viewers, 'There is absolutely zero CG in his face. People’s faces can look different when you put a wide angle lens up close. The background plate in Svalbard is 100% real as is David.' However, the director's clarification hasn't entirely quelled the debate. Some fans, after scrutinizing freeze-frame stills, persist in pointing out inconsistencies in Superman's eye direction, suggesting a potential error in post-production. Others criticize the placement of his arms, arguing that Superman should be displaying his iconic outstretched hands rather than keeping them tucked behind him. 'Superman iconically flies hands forward. Not always. But as an introduction, it’s strange to choose no hands,' one fan remarked. Another chimed in, 'Corenswet feels like he's stationary in a wind tunnel. It's the angle.' Despite the ongoing discussion, the trailer's release undoubtedly has reignited excitement and anticipation for the upcoming Superman film
