  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Dr. Doom has a mask that he never removes so maybe that's how this will work?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

He's totally going to remove the mask.

I don't think you cast someone like Robert Downey Jr unless you're planning on having them out of mask at some point. Even just as a flashback/backstory kind of thing.

If I hadn't looked I wouldn't have known he was in Oppenheimer, you can do miracles with makeup... Also Dr Doom's face is fucked

I'm more impressed they didn't use Tropic Thunder as an example.

Sorry if my life doesn't revolve around Hollywood I guess?

Not really no... Not when your point of reference is Marvel movies seen years ago

[–] njm1314 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Man I don't think it's anything to do with you not living in Hollywood I think you're just bad at recognizing faces.

Or I don't care about actors enough to use memory space for them? Hell, it's a miracle that I know his name in the first place because I couldn't give two shits about the showbusiness, having the same actors play different roles is just a necessary evil of the medium and the industry, otherwise it could be new actors in every movie, I couldn't care less.

Frankly, it did take me a while.

He did an awesome work, though, enough to convince me he could actually pull off Doom, who's a very complex character.

Might as well throw in Ed Norton's performance in Kingdom of Heaven.
