‘He looks… tragic’: X users poke fun as James Gunn insists new Superman shot is “zero CG”

Fans got their first glimpse of David Corenswet flying through the Arctic as the legendary hero in the most current Superman TV commercial, which was just posted online. Some viewers, however, took issue with the moment, claiming that his face was unrealistically depicted by the computer-generated imagery. James Gunn, who is known for responding to fan comments promptly, took care of the issue.

Corenswet's eyes appear strangely larger and broader than normal in the scenario, leading one Thread user to joke, "There's something with his face that looks a little off. I know there's plenty of time to refine the CG."

To which James Gunn replied:

"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 [Norway] is 100% real as is David."

During what should have been a stunning scene of Superman flying through the frozen tundra, audiences were instead distracted by something unexpected: David Corenswet's strangely big, oddly spaced eyes. It was as though the CGI crew had taken the phrase "heroic vision" a little too literally.

Something about his visage seems a touch strange, one Thread user couldn't help but remark. There's still plenty of time to work out those digital growing pains, though! Since even Superman needs a computer-generated image update, it's obvious that the VFX team still has some late hours ahead of them.

"He looks... tragic."

"He looks tragic!" is what people are saying about Superman's new appearance. He seems to be asking himself, "Did I save the world today or forget to floss?" He has a serious "I just saw my Kryptonite in the fridge" expression on his face. Hopefully, the next time, the CGI crew will return his cape and add a little more heroic sparkle!

Superman's new appearance has become the subject of an intense meme frenzy. He looks like he just stepped out of a superhero emotional support group, with those big eyes and the "I'm just here to find my lost keys" face. We get tragic hero vibes from the CGI as if he just learnt that his favorite cereal was canceled.

If things continue this way, Superman will soon be the face of every meme that says, "I'm not crying, you're crying." Give him a tissue and a cape, please! Let me walk you through how fans have reacted regarding this news!

"We can tell lmao"

For those who create memes, Superman's new appearance has become a goldmine. His wide-eyed look and expression that shouts, "I forgot my lunch at home," have caused the internet to go crazy. He suddenly stops being the caped hero we all know and starts acting more like the person who always arrives late to parties and spends the entire time apologizing.

He has been the focus of a whole new genre of memes because of his new, rather melancholy mood. Fans have reimagined him as a superhero who is just as likely to get lost in a grocery store as he is to save the day.
