It's like the Amazons all speaking in an Israeli accent to match Gal. "Death to the Kree Empire, mate! "

 

[Infinity9999x]

I do think the Skrulls would have benefited more from being motion capture like Corvus Glaive. You can get the unnatural face shape without worrying about prosthetics conforming to the human face

The Skrulls don’t look inhuman enough to warrant mo-cap. Prosthetics were definitely the smart way to go. As good as mo Cap has been getting, none of the black order looked as real as the orcs in the original LOTR.

In an EW interview Ben Mendelsohn said the Skrulls have an Australian accent (Ben's an Aussie) but he speaks 'Murican when impersonating a SHIELD officer.

Why do they have Australian accents? That sounds a bit too specific. They should've found something as neutral as possible. They might end up sounding a bit spoofish with Aussie accents.

Aussie Skrulls? Well that explains that shot of them coming out the surf.

Specific isn't bad.

The concept art from SDCC definitely looked too inhuman for convincing makeup:

That wouldn't work on a human face and still be able to convey emotion. And not all practical makeup is going to look as good as the Orcs. Some characters need to be Mocap in order to be brought to life properly. Skrulls being one of them.

And I'd argue Ebony Maw looked just as real as any of the Orcs

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I refuse to believe those faces cant be done without mocap

Obviously, the Skrulls have Aussie accents because as cosmopolitan spacefarers they wanted to sound sexy af. "Neutral" just wasn't gonna cut it.

None of that looks too inhuman for makeup. Not even a bit. It's barely different from the orcs in LOTR. And it wasn't like LOTR unlocked some secret makeup formula, there is no reason why you can't have practical makeup just as good 17 years later.

And the black order was solid, Maw was pretty darn good, but I never believed he was there like the orcs in LOTR. Because he wasn't.

Marvel definitely made the right call on this one.

Mo-Cap Super Skrull if they need him to be the size or Hulk/Korg/Thanos

 

[Lip]

I hope the MCU Green Goblin looks similar to that one.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

That Green Goblin is scary as hell. I like it.

 

[Dark Raven]

Mo-Cap Super Skrull if they need him to be the size or Hulk/Korg/Thanos

Why the heck didn't they go with that mask for the Raimi Spider-Man flick? What made them go for that completely static helmet?

 

[Gamma Goliath]

If we ever get the mcu green goblin, I hope for something in that vein. Not the same but but not dissimilar.

too scary for test audience kids

Well what hope is there of having that in the MCU then, since there will be even more kids?

only posted it, since one guy thought it'd be impossible to do the Skrull concept art in practical make-up and sfx

 

[wobbly]

Iirc the animatronic Goblin mask was never tested with any audience. Raimi just decided against it before they even cast the role.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

They don't really show the Green Goblin animatronic talking. I have a feeling seeing him actually speak might not quite sync up and give an "uncanny valley" effect.

For the Skrulls, their features aren't as extreme as the Goblin's, and I'd think they can be done with reasonably traditional make up.

Just look at how far they went with Michael Chiklis:

I think the Skrull design could have been more extreme with traditional make-up if they had wanted to, but the design is probably what the director wanted as opposed to being limited by make-up techniques.

I think he said it was too expensive.

I’m kind of excited by it to be honest. If the kronan are kiwi and the skrulls are Aussie then it’s canon the kronan and skrulls have a sporting rivalry which works when you think about it

Yeah sexy like this
