A fight scene from Marvel’s The Punisher has gone viral online after being described as the ‘worst CGI of all time’.
Co-written by and starring Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, The Punisher: One Last Kill was released as a one-off final special episode by Disney Plus on Tuesday.
Following the gun-toting vigilante Frank, who is known as The Punisher, the episode sees the antihero find himself in the crosshairs of Ma Gnucci (Judith Light), who is eager for revenge against him for the death of her family.
Taking place shortly after the events of Daredevil: Born Again’s first season, the episode has, however, received a high level of attraction for all the wrong reasons.
During one moment when Frank is thrown off a building and lands on a large metal air vent, eagle-eyed observers spotted a ‘ ‘ CGI blunder that shows Jon’s face heavily pixilated.
Reacting to the jarring moment, some viewers speculated that the show’s editors forgot to tidy up the graphics.
Writing on X, Ahmed commented: ‘Can’t believe this is a real scene from The Punisher: One Last Kill.’
Responding beneath, Rob likened the graphics to being like ‘PlayStation 3’, as Steven said he thought it ‘was surely AI’.
Another user called Rob also wrote: ‘The Punisher: One Last Kill has one of the worst CGI animations I have seen in years. Omg. Like…
What did Metro think of The Punisher?
Read the four star review that Metro’s Joel Harley gave it below…
‘How is it possible that Jon Bernthal turns into a PS4 graphics replica of Joel Miller from The Last Of Us?! Wtf is Disney doing?’
Buck, a fellow user, then claimed: ‘Marvel accidentally uploaded a scene from The Punisher: One Last Kill with unfinished VFX.’
Jon recently returned to our screens as the Punisher after the series originally aired on Netflix from 2017 until 2019.
The new special sees Frank become Punisher once again after being targeted by Gnucci.
Originally, the series was about the former marine seeking revenge for the deaths of his family.
After being cancelled by Netflix in 201, Disney then regained the licence for Marvel titles.
He is now also set to play the Marvel character once again in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya.
This special also comes after Bernthal released another special episode of The Bear, which he co-wrote and starred in as Mikey alongside Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they headed on a work trip to Gary, Indiana.
Metro has contacted Disney for comment.
The Punisher: One Last Kill is available to stream on Disney Plus.
