Design for movies only have to look good for a few minutes of close-up, and there are many tricks for making them look better in those few minutes.
Few minutes? Some have entire movies, but still look better than commercial bots like "Pepper", for example.
A few minutes of close-up. Otherwise, medium to far shots, shots where the camera is moving enough that a few blemishes in the robot won't show up, or the focus is on another character in the shot.
"Entire movies" "A few minutes of close ups" "Talking about design" "medium to far shots so blemishes won't show" If you just want to be contrarian for the sake of it, go on. I don't have time for pointless debate.
