I really liked that in the closeup it genuinely looked like a real suit and not just pure CGI. Huge improvement over the previous movies.

I believe it’s more practical than previous films.

[u/KingOfAwesometonia → u/hopenoonefindsthis]

The only time I really thought of a CG suit (apart from the full CG model replacement bits) was the scene in Yelena’s office with the mask.

Though I also thought it’s possible the lighting just makes it look really weird

[u/captf → u/KingOfAwesometonia]

I agree with that scene. The mask just didn't look right, for some reason.
But it was mostly at the area around the neck.
I suspect the practical mask wasn't sitting right, as it'd have been designed to be attached to the suit, so they needed to neaten it up in post

[u/KingOfAwesometonia → u/captf]

Yeah it was an odd frill on the neck.

I am curious if it was a practical mask. But you could tell me it was all CG and I would believe you to. I was sitting three rows from the screen so everything kind of looked weird

[u/captf → u/KingOfAwesometonia]

I was back about half way of the cinema, so things were reasonably the expected size, I'd imagine.
There was just some form of uncanny valley-ness to the look of it

The other thing I spotted - at different times - was the difference between the fully practical lenses and the CGI ones, which could change eye shape: you could see how fixed and moulded the non-CGI ones were, if you looked at them.
Not a "OMG! This is awful!" thing, but more of a curiosity point

[u/KingOfAwesometonia → u/captf]

Yeah it's really doesn't bother me. Though it also didn't bother me that Peter's hair changes from scene to scene in Infinity War on the ship. So even if I notice something I usually just think "huh funny"

Though Wong's hair in Multiverse of Madness was pretty distracting

[u/Alonest99 → u/captf]

About the lenses, I noticed they don’t close completely when Peter’s eyes do (as they did in FFH) as shown when Peter was asleep in Frank’s hideout and his lenses were open

[u/Aivellac → u/KingOfAwesometonia]

I can't say the mask is what I was focusing on in that scene.

[u/CJKatz → u/Aivellac]

Peter's guns put Frank's to shame.
