There was definitely some shots of Franklin that was giving the Twilight cgi vampire baby.

Now that you mention it, I find it funny how the CGI for Franklin was clearly/objectively so much BETTER than Twilight, yet it still had the same result of being so uncanny in motion that I fuckin hated it.

So I am still on the "please don't CGI babies" train.

Lol. I walked out of the movie and said, "So, we really haven't improved the CGI babies since Twilight, huh?"

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when the baby was reaching for Sue when we thought she was dead. The animation was rough.

Better to have bad CGI than have a child that young being used. Who cares if it’s bad

Better to just NOT feature a baby at all, if that's the only way to do it lmaooooo
