Kro the Deviant is (one of) the villains in the upcoming MCU “Eternals” movie. He looks as if he was created entirely in the computer - CGI.
I wonder how producers/directors decide when to create a character via CGI versus practical makeup. For instance, the Fawn in “Pan's Labyrinth” and the Gill Man in “The Shape of Water” were largely makeup effects and looked pretty good. Paul Bettany as the Vision looked like makeup (I think augmented by CGI) and he looked good. Where as Thanos’ henchmen (Ebony Maw) were CGI and didn’t look remotely real.
I recently saw parts of “Green Lantern” and the villain Parallax looked like shit. Kro falls more in the “looks like shit” category than the others.
