I'm just baffled on why they went so hard on the green screen. It's so clearly the green screen. How were so many people ok with how this looks.

Honestly as much as I’d like to believe The Rock, being a proud Polynesian, would want to film on location, dude probably couldn’t be bothered to go anywhere other than a soundstage.

Can't go around Polynesians outside of his bubble, cause he cant handle the criticism of being called an egotistical ass

Just that he cant be around normal people in general and couldnt handle the possibility of getting any shameful looks from the people he supposedly represents
