If it's CGI it won't, it CAN'T be Thunderbirds.


I've got to take issue with that. CGI isn't a result, it's a tool. It's a technique. It's not whether or not it's used, it's whether or not it's used _well._

CGI done properly would give us Thunderbirds vehicles which have the look and feel gigantic, behave as if they mass in kilotons. CGI done properly could give us characters with the same appearance and proportions as the characters in the original show -- if that's what you consider desirable, as I understand Gerry Anderson does -- but without the limitations imposed on them by their strings.

Crappy CGI looks crappy. Amazing CGI looks amazing.

Instead of making the method your litmus test, how about judging the show based on its quality?
