Avengers Doomsday Trailer Trolled For VFX As Indian Fans Say Ramayana Looks Better

Marvel Studios finally unveiled the much-awaited trailer for Avengers: Doomsday on Monday. While the trailer generated massive buzz, thanks to the star-studded cast, it also sparked an unexpected wave of criticism online.

Many viewers pointed out that Avengers: Doomsday's visual effects fell short of expectations. Several Indian fans compared the trailer's CGI to the upcoming Ramayana, claiming the homegrown epic looked more visually impressive.

Soon after the trailer dropped, social media was flooded with reactions dissecting the film's visual effects. One user wrote, "The VFX and visual quality of #AvengersDoomsday feels a bit odd and quite unpolished. Some close-up shots seem to be a bad green screen cutout with no work on refining the edges and the lighting! The teaser doesn't have that good quality as we had in Infinity War and Endgame. They are just hurrying things up and maximising the nostalgia factor. I hope that they seriously work on their Vfx issues,coz this looks bad”

Another added, "Looks like a pre-rendered CG trailer for a video game from 2012. You know you're watching a Russo brothers Avengers movie when the characters fight in the ugliest environments possible. Genuinely embarrassing that these are “adaptations” of a medium as colorful as comics."

Directed by the legendary filmmaking duo of Anthony and Joe Russo, Avengers: Doomsday marks the MCU return of Robert Downey Jr as villainous Doctor Doom. The film also features Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards. The film releases worldwide on December 18. 

Ramayana, on the other hand, is headlined by Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The film is divided into two parts. Part 1 will focus primarily on Rama's early life, marriage and the events leading up to his exile. The film is officially slated for a worldwide theatrical release on Diwali 2026.
