@theflexfandom: This is the Iron Man animated series (1994) from the Marvel Action Hour era — and that suit-up is legendary for all the wrong reasons. It starts in normal 2D animation, then halfway through the transformation it abruptly cuts to this janky early-90s CGI for absolutely no reason. So bad it's iconic. We grew up thinking this was peak superhero animation… and honestly? We kinda loved it anyway. 90s CGI was truly an experience. 🤖 👉 Be honest — did this look cool to you as a kid, or did you always think it was weird? Drop your take below and tag someone who grew up on the Marvel Action Hour. #IronMan #Marvel #90sCartoons #MarvelAnimation #Nostalgia

I remember the 90’s Iron Man cartoon, and don’t remember when they switched it over to those god awful CGI animation 😭

Shawn p :

you can hardly tell when it switched

Sybyr.exe :

because its "futuristic" and they wanted to try the new technology

Brett Burroughs :

They were, “flexing”, I believe is the term.

mario_teclados1608 :

Apparently during that time, 3d animation was starting to become really popular and the studio wanted to start incorporating 3d animation more to appeal to audiences watching 3d

𝄞Jared Goldinger, Organist𝄢 :

Someone had a few extra dollars in the budget

Dalstrus :

it's amazing how it instantly looked terrible and multiple people still signed off on it

cam.rrrron :

there's a fully hand animated version of this scene and it looks great. No idea why they chose to do that

El vampiro :

Original MCU

WiTcHy :

that suit gotta be mad uncomfortable

david.king :

how did it become red and yellow from plain gray?

Large Allen :

I can almost guarantee you the entire tansformation was supposed to be cgi but they ran out of budget (and maybe time) and that bit was all they had rendered.

Ramiro :

They had a little extra left over in the budget

MeatToilet :

New = cool

marfbarf :

they literally just did it for the love of the game lmao

Benny Nator :

what are you talking about? I don't see any transition

Rat King :

And the director loved it so much he kept it in.

Because Steve, who was the producer’s nephew, had a cgi background and nothing to do over the summer.

SaimonTheMonk :

It’s provocative, gets the people going
