nfn but there's a reason "[so-and-so actor] is a great chameleon" is a compliment; it definitely doesn't make a piece of media better when, for example, it features chris pratt looking like he always does playing the same role he always does shouting like he always does

i'm not even (really) shitting on chris pratt for getting his coins in cringey ways; this applies to any actor who always looks the same and always seems to be playing the same part in the same way. after a few of those it'd probably be a better film/show if they just had someone else in the role

that has nothing to do with how they look and everything to do with how they act, this argument still falls apart on that front

nah. if i watch a tom cruise movie i'm not going to be thinking about what tom cruise's totally believable and interesting character is doing, i'm going to be thinking 'haha thetans'

tom cruise isn't a bad actor at all, but he looks the same in every single role and is kind of culturally inescapable, so it distracts from the movie

do you... actually think old is an insult, baby boo? Isn't it past your bedtime?

strange response

i'm not even sure what you're trying to defend anymore

do you need directions to wg
