My point is just that it looks like trash. Last few Hulk looks have been quite good and looked like Ruffalo without actually just being Ruffalo's face. This is just Will Smith's face slapped onto a blue bodybuilder like a stand-in cardboard cutout. The ears don't change his face. They're ears.
There is a difference between a CGI creation looking like an actor, and using the actor's actual face and weirdly integrating it. That is the fundamental difference you are ignoring here. They crafted the Hulk's face. While it looks like Ruffalo quite a bit, it isn't actually Ruffalo's face. Genie's is just Will Smith's face.
What do you base this on? Because if we look at the last ten years, franchise have built stars. Not the other way around.
Because it could never be just Ruffalo's face. The Hulk, as a character, needs to have features(jawline)that Ruffalo doesn't possess. The Genie, as a character, needs to have features(ears) that Smith doesn't possess. Little difference in my eyes. Yeah, it looks like trash, but I was never arguing that.
A fully CGI creation, that captured the spirit of the original Genie, instead of trying to mash the original with Will Smith. Honestly, if they wanted to do something different, that would have been better as well imo. Because at least then you tailor it to Will Smith. Here they are trying to have the original Genie and Will Smith at the same time. And that does not work imo.
What about Genie's jawline and chin? They don't matter anymore?
The Hulk and Genie both seem like they're mo-cap creations which borrow heavily from the facial features of the actor portraying them. As far as I'm concerned, there is no difference.
What about Genie's jawline and chin? They don't matter anymore?
It doesn't really matter how concerned you are. You are fundamentally wrong. And you feeling differently about it doesn't change that fact. You are saying two fundamentally different things are the same. They aren't.
Lost in Translation.
Did they ever?What about Genie's jawline and chin? They don't matter anymore?
Yes. The look of a universally beloved character usually matters. Especially one who so many kids grew up adoring.
These characters were seemingly created the same way with the same idea. There is no difference. Keep your opinion, and I'll keep mine.
If that's the case, then his jawline and chin match the animated Genie's pretty well. As well as you can get when using Will's face.
You know how you said seemingly? Because you don't know how they were created. You are making an assumption. This is not a question of opinion. The Hulk's face is a fully CGI creation. You can tell. Just like how you can tell how different the technique is for Aladdin. Scanning faces in, does not make the same technique when it comes to actually crafting the face.
You do realize how much this ruins your Hulk argument right?
I said seemingly because I'm not going to make declarations about something I'm not certain of like you are. This pic would suggest that the Hulk's face is made using Mark's. Looks like what's going on with Will's Genie to me.
I think using Hulk for this argument is tricky seeing as PowerCosmic really thinks Hulk looks 99% like Ruffalo. I think a better example would be Thanos.
If you meant created the same way in that their CGI faces were created using CGI and were mocapped to their live performances, then sure, that's definitely plausible, and probably the most likely scenario. But you can clearly see that Hulk's CGI facial features were designed to look similar to Ruffalo, while Genie's facial features were designed to look exactly like Will Smith.
