Who was the last truly memorable movie villain that was unquestionably the villain, in no way a tragic anti-hero, and why is the correct answer Immortan Joe?
Could make a case for Hans Landa, but that movie's great because it tees him up as the anti-hero only to triple down in the last two minutes 'no, fuck you you crying Nazi prick.'
Family in Get Out is a candidate. Though Allison Williams has talked about how disturbing it was that some white audiences couldn't quite see her character as irredeemable. Good thing it didn't get focus grouped or she definitely would have had an arc where she 'snaps out of it.'
Excellent candidate. And points to Ewan McGregor that he didn't have to become a weirdo method acting toxic dump of a person to pull it off, unlike S O M E Gotham City villains.
he thought he could slightly change his hair and put on glasses and no one would see him fly away like a douchebag Clark Kent lolololololol
Literally the only appropriate reaction here is to laugh your shivering ass off because he'd have been just as useless if he tried to be a public servant.
Not gonna dunk on any Texan unless they specifically filibustered Hurricane Sandy relief.
Snow, cold and ice suck. Electric outages in the winter get scary quick. I feel you fam.
My one advice is to put a premium on keeping your feet warm, especially if your floors are uncarpeted. Wear thick socks or even double socks, but don't reduce circulation by wearing shoes all the time.
And if you're shoveling out of heavy snow, start at the end of the driveway. The heaviest, coldest, iciest snow will be there and gets miserable to move if you're already winded. And square your corners like you're digging a grave. You'll make better progress.
cough the first avengers movie only has two women in the cast because whedon couldn't harass and manipulate A-listers like he could on WB shows coughcoughcough
Snyd3r & Whedon are weirdly polar opposites in another respect. Whedon cultivated a popular rep with media, critics & a wide fanbase while abusing/terrifying cast & crew. Snyd3r seemingly has great relationships with cast/crew but lashes out at critics, incites a narrow fanbase.
JJ Abrams seems to be the contemporary who has managed a meteoric rise as a creative without alienating the public, media or those* who work under him.
So maybe we should be fine with it when he's inevitably directing or producing the next Superman movie.
Hat tip to the Mandalorian Writers room for intro-ing/building up the Armorer, Fennec, Ahsoka, Bo Katan and other credible female action heroes so that, incidentally, the show wouldn't be one anti-Semitic post away from becoming dick soup.
Cara is a survivor of genocide, on the precipice of crippling isolation and unquenchable rage in a life's pursuit of vengeance and you're seriously gonna compare getting ratioed to the Holocaust?!?!?
Imagine turning an average arm bar hold and well-below average acting talent into an iconic job making those sweet sweet Mousebucks. Then throwing it all away so you can post pizza g8 memes for weird divorced dipshits.
Now hire someone whom Whedon screwed over for the role. The list is long I will admit.
Everything about that role screamed eventual spinoff series. They built her up as the Wyatt Earp of Star Wars. You threw it away to impress these assholes. Wow.
