Skimping on bodypaint

[Dasher10]

One thing I've noticed is that Beast now reverts to human at points, Grandmaster only has a few blue spots on his face instead of full-on blue skin, Domino has vitiligo instead of albinism and Korath looked like a normal human instead of having blue skin. Hela's unhelmeted form also didn't appear half-skeletal.

Anybody else worried that Adam Warlock in Guardians 3 won't be gold?

So, I think with the Grandmaster it was a way to differentiate him from other blue characters. You may be right, the cost to do it may be a factor, but we have a lot of body painted characters, even small ones like the Collectors pink slave girls and every member of the sovereign. For that last reason alone i believe it's obvious Warlock is safe.

Now will he look good in that same gold skin the sovereign have? Time will tell.

I also kind of hope that we get a blue Mar-Vell and Phyla Vell and that Fox also don't forget to make Mister Sinister pasty.

No

The whole race of the Sovereign was gold, why would he be any different?

Which is accurate to the comics because she usually doesn't appear half-skeletal there either. Comics Hela wears an enchanted cape that makes her appear fully alive at all times, the only time we've ever seen her in her 'true' form (a.k.a. half alive, half dead) is in the rare occasion that someone has managed to tear her magical cape away from her. Hela's unhelmeted look in Ragnarok is bang on to her recent unhelmeted look in the comics, a beautiful woman with very pale skin and long black hair.

So, I think with the Grandmaster it was a way to differentiate him from other blue characters.

Taika Waititi commented that they didn't make the Grandmaster blue because they didn't want to un-Goldblum him in any way which I think was the right decision, I personally love that the Grandmaster was basically just evil Jeff Goldblum in space in blue eyeliner. t: Also, the Grandmaster and the Collector are brothers in the MCU so they have to look at least somewhat like they could be siblings.

Is this seriously a worry? Did you not see Ayesha and the rest of the people on her planet in full gold paint? Also that the Guardians films have all had body paint used properly: Gamora, Nebula, Drax, Yondu, Ayesha and many other characters in full paint jobs. I don't think this is something you need to worry about. Especially when the films you are referencing, minus Grandmaster, are all non-MCU films.

Also Hela doesn't look like a skeleton in the comics often so...

I guess we shall see. I don't want actors to get sick or hurt from wearing all that body paint makeup.

The answer to the question is almost always some combination of not wanting to obscure the actor's face too much (especially when they're well known and marketable; see the same reason characters often don't wear masks for very long in the movies and almost never on the posters) and the actual makeup process itself being very long and time consuming. We had this whole discussion last year when people kept asking why Zemo doesn't wear a purple mask in the MCU.

Re: Hela. . .

Spoiler

I think its possible we may get the half-dead look if she returns. After all, she was last seen being stabbed with an apocalypse fire sword. Its the kind of thing that would give even a goddess a bad case of third degree burns.

Grandmaster should have been blue.

Hela also has a tendency to appear as a "sexy" woman in, umm, "revealing" attire in the comics as well.
