1. This is a network tv show, they do not have the time nor the budget to acheive the level of CGI you see in a major motion picture.

2. If you think Once looks bad, I suggest you go watch some fantasy and sci fi movies from the 1980's and earlier, and then come back and tell me how bad Once looks. Sorry, going as back as the 80's to find special effects worse than those of a 2015/2016 series kind of defeats the purpose.

Personally, I can generally gloss over that, but Hades' hair was a) totally unnecessary, and b) badly done. It's the combo that bothers me here. I agree. If there are comparisons, it should be with today's standards.

Regarding Hades' hair I agree as well, it was unnecessary and took away all seriousness the scene before had. They didn't need the hair to let us know he's Hades, saying his name is enough.

Regarding CGI on the show overall, I think that OUAT gets criticized about it because it relies on it too heavily (distractions), while other shows use the CGI for enhancment. I won't use GoT for comparison, but look at Galavant, which some people would agree that it looked much better than OUAT.
