>>86327713Practical hero suits look like shit most of the time.
You need CGI effects to make them look extraordinary and larger than life.
Pure CGI makes your scenes awkward and weightless because your actors have nothing to work with, but purely practical effects are extremely limiting in terms of scene design and need true mastery or they look like silly puppets, cause that's what they are.
If you want your shit to look good, you need all of it. Having BP's suit be an overlay onto an actual suit was the best thing they could do.
No silly rubber suit, no problems with bad lighting, no weightless CGI objects.
