'Walking Dead' Fans Lose It Over 'Absolutely Embarrassing' Fake CGI Deer
"The Walking Dead" might want to dip into its makeup budget to put toward CGI effects.
During Sunday night's episode, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) found themselves overrun by zombies in a carnival. Rick climbs onto a Ferrish wheel to shoot walkers from up high, when he spots a deer that Michonne had seen earlier.
But the deer was laughably fake-looking. This isn't the first time fans have griped about poor production quality this season (there was a blatant green screen behind Rick last week at the trash heap), but the fake deer made everyone go nuts on Twitter.
The Walking Dead has always had cheesy CGI. But they just tried to pass this off as a live deer in tonight's episode: pic.twitter.com/c6bXZjZkAD

The glowing deer was sure to attract walkers. Those effects weren't very special @WalkingDead_AMC
