I feel they should dispense with the "plates and panels" look though; it's becoming a bad MCU cliché at this point. But other than that, I think it is a very nice interpretation of her latest comic book look. Yeah, female superheroes should be required to wiggle into spandex like the comic book artists always intended. "Original intent" should be the law of the land!

zslane Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 One comment I heard was that those skrulls look like they stepped off the set of a Star Trek: Next Generation episode, rather than out of the prosthetic make-up department of a major motion picture studio. IOW, they look like low-budget aliens. Maybe the cost of buying Fox is making Disney tighten their belts more than we realized... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I don't remember STTNG as having bad prosthetics. Quite the opposite actually. These Skrulls look fine. Armory and RDU Neil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those comments may be motivated by a public who's gotten used to elaborate CGI animations rather than practical makeup. As makeup and prosthetics go, those look nicely detailed, and look like they move well with an actor's face. Actors tend to like to work with something we can actually see and feel rather than have to imagine. It helps us get in the mind set of the character.

The commentary I was referring to was not saying that the prosthetics looked bad, only that they looked cheap and simplistic (by today's movie standards), like what you'd get for a weekly tv show budget rather than a Marvel blockbuster movie budget. I'm not saying I agree with that commentary, I'm just pointing out that not everyone is impressed by the look of those skrulls. I myself choose to reserve judgment until I see them in the actual film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'd kind of like for at least some oddly-colored characters or races to be vividly that color rather than pale pastel versions of that color. Yondu the Centauri was much the same pale blue as a Kree. If you didn't know the character's race in advance of the movie, you'd have trouble telling which race the character was supposed to be. Now we have movie Skrulls who look about the same shade of green as movie Drax or the movie Hulk and not far from the movie Gamora in some lighting. Nature actually does occasionally come up with vivid and distinctive coloration for its creatures.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trencher Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Some people always say the same old "cheap looking star trek stuff" whenever they see an humanoid alien. I would not worry too much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 That could work, if we get something similar to the flashbacks in The Incredible Hulk -- just enough for us to understand how Carol got to where she starts from in the movie.

archer Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I'd rather have had the original Captain Mar-Vell complete with Nega-Bands but I suppose that'd be too much set-up work to reintroduce him into the comics and promote the brand.

Trencher Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Or maybe they wanted a superheroine to make the Marvel less of a sausage fest. Black Widow does not really have any powers and The Red Witch's powers are more support and plot related. They probably want a woman up there with Thor, Iron Man, Hulk and Captain America fighting right up in the villains face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Neilson Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 He did not seem in any way different from the Kree, even needing tech to control the Yaka arrow. Having multiple species who all look and act the same seems like a waste. Having Centaurians exist in MCU (Sif's comment) seems great, but why make them "just the same as a Kree".\ And I see nothing in that link that has Yondu identified as a Centaurian (or a "not-Kree) on screen.
