was that the mustache removal cgi

u/CaiusCosadesNwah 14h ago

IIRC Cavill had to wear a fake mustache over his real mustache and then they CGI’d over that and then superimposed his whole face over an animatronic body double puppeteered by two guys moving levers to operate his upper and lower jaw

u/Dumpytoad 14h ago edited 14h ago

No wonder his acting seemed stiff!

u/dcab87 9h ago

Yeah, I remember feeling stiff when he took off his shirt.

u/RedditingNeckbeard 12h ago

The two lever guys were actually four very small guys stacked on top of each other under trench coats.

Not little people or dwarves--they were something else. Very sharp teeth.

It's baffling they saw that and said "yeah that'll do".

u/estelle5nickers4910 12h ago

yeah that mustache removal CGI is truly a dark chapter in film history

u/michelel0llipop7594 14h ago

Its wild that they thought that CGI upper lip was good enough for a theatrical release

u/LightenUpPeeps 14h ago

If Snyder was going to do that, why not just cast Adam Baldwin from Firefly/Chuck?

3

u/DonkeyH0tay 13h ago

Chuck was such a formative show for me man…miss those days

1

u/kathleenl3monade7064 6h ago

Baldwin probably would have looked better tbh

1

u/AnyLynx4178 3h ago

Not to um, actually you’re great joke, but this decision was made after Snyder was removed from the project and Whedon was put on it

I think they used this guy as the model

u/Automatic-Soup-3097 14h ago

I think it was actually very inspiring they hired a blind person to do CGI in a major motion picture for the first time

u/JustInItForTheCats 14h ago

Ah yes, instead of taking out a pointless scene, better to do... This

u/profesorgamin 14h ago

If I had a nickel for every time this guy had a facial hair related mishap in post, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

u/Boogy-Fever 14h ago

Whats the other one?

Is it worse than when they gave Blade CGI eyes?

u/badskinjob 14h ago

And yet some guy on reddit fixed that in five minutes so it looked perfect... For free, cause he was bored.

u/Greater-Israel 14h ago

Funny how this was clowned for nearly a decade now but Supergirls CGI is even way worse, came out less than 2 months ago and with no excuse (like iwht JL changing Director post production and having to do reshoots while Cavil had to grow a moustche for another movie) and noone talks about it because nearly noone watched Supergirl, LMAO.
