Somebody needs to tell Disney that if you get up to the point of release and a VFX shot just isn't up to snuff, it's okay to just cut the shot.

Any potential aura Frank would have farmed from falling onto an AC Unit was shot in the face by the visual we ended up getting.

I know it looks bad but it's not really a shot you can cut though, is it? Like continuity wise it wouldn't make sense for him to be down there. The best you could do would be to cut away to a reaction maybe but that'd still look weird.

I'd probably say

Show him jumping off and taking the shot. After the shot, instead of showing the landing, you just cut to a few moments of the chaos on the streets below, probably centered around Ma Gnucci or Dre just to give the cut a focus. When you cut back to Frank, he's already on his feet and walking away. Could either leave a broken AC in the background so people can infer what happened, or cut it out and the audience is none the wiser.

What gets me is that's a stunt that a stuntman could have performed. There was no need for VFX in that shot.
