The Scorpion King’s CGI became a textbook example of how poor effects can ruin a climactic moment. The character’s design was overly simplistic, with stiff animations and a glossy finish that made him look more like a video game boss than a fearsome demigod. His sudden transformation into a scorpion-hybrid lacked fluidity, leaving the audience distracted by how fake it looked. Practical effects or better rendering would have helped make the character intimidating instead of laughable.
