His character and The Wasp character are lovers.. Weird Al was probably the least Alabama option.

[–] unreachable 50 points 1 year ago

he should dress up as Spiderman instead

with the headmask on, he'll be unrecognisable

[–] MargotRobbie 162 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Actors are people who exists outside of their work with their own hobbies and interests. Paul Rudd is getting paid to dress up and play Ant-Man only at his job, so he can dress up and play whomever he wants on his own time. (especially Weird Al)

Besides, if he actually dressed up as Ant-Man, everyone is just going to think he is a Paul Rudd impersonator anyways.

Thanks for the insight, Margot Robbie

[–] MargotRobbie 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You're welcome, bingbong.

Also, that's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, my sincere apologies, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie

[–] MargotRobbie 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really don't know why people here always insists on addressing me with both my first and last name for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because there's another esteemed character actress named Margo, we have to avoid confusion

[–] MargotRobbie 5 points 1 year ago

... But Margo Martindale isn't Academy Award nominated though.

Why do you think I'm always so insistent on mentioning that?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also, he's probably contractually bound to not appear as Ant Man without permission from the studio.

[–] angrymouse 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Holy shit this can possibly be the case. A little sad

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That and I doubt he wants to be shooting ready in an antman costume to walk around the neighborhood with his daughter.

His costume, other than the wig, is comfy as fuck. He can transition into whatever the night reasonably holds without have to have costumers remove the stuff and strip him of makeup, etc.

Besides, its probably in his contract to NOT portray his marvel character OUTSIDE of the movies, simply to retain proper branding. If he tried to put on his own antman getup, it would pale in comparison to a pound of makeup backed up by CGI artists.

[–] papalonian 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, I don't think anyone was expecting him to get fully decked out in his movie gear, if his daughter wanted him to be ant man I'm sure she'd love it if he put on a cheap Amazon "Insect Guy" costume. That actually would've been hilarious, and with a mask on he may not have even been recognized

[–] creditCrazy 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funny yes but he works for the same company that sued a dead kid for having a spider man grave stone

[–] uis 1 points 1 year ago

As I understand in american legal system dead always win

[–] MargotRobbie 1 points 1 year ago

Pretending to be a goofy impersonation of himself would be hilarious and would help him stay under the radar, huh.

Now, where have I heard that one before?

Some of you haven't read the Wasp v Weird Al comic event and it shows 😤

[–] Darth_Vader__ 5 points 1 year ago

It's cannon

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What a nice dad trying to keep the attention on his kid!

[–] FlyingSquid 88 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I certainly wouldn't have recognized him. I just would have thought, "that guy has got Weird Al down."

[–] MargotRobbie 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hiding in plain sight in a pretty funny way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

TRANSFORMERS!

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Such a Paul Rudd thing to do.

"What's Thor's Hammer's name?"

"Jonathan."

I really like Paul Rudd as a person and I've hardly seen any movies with him.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alot of them are excellent. You should try some.

SLAPPA DAT BAASSS.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Seems more /wholesome than /shitpost

[–] ScruffyDucky 22 points 1 year ago

She went as an imaginary character, he went as a legend :)

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

People really need to stop this celebrity obsession. He's a dad trick or treating with his daughter a few years ago. It is beyond ridiculous that people not only tolerate this, but cheer it on.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You know, this is what dads do. Every good dad or mom is worth cheering on, since in this shit world it's not granted.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ha, I completely didn't pick up how my post could be read that way. And you're right! I meant more about people being creepy and not letting a dad and daughter go unbothered for Halloween.

I think they're implying that we shouldn't pay attention to it so these people can go back to having a private life. Maybe we can hope that might keep so many of them from dying by their own hands in one way or another.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, in in that case I agree. I might have misunderstood the msg

[–] theragu40 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seriously, this.

All I could think of was wow, this poor little girl can't even have a normal childhood experience trick or treating with her dad because some fuck head paparazzo is chasing them around snapping pictures of them. That's so sleazy and shitty. She didn't ask for this. She just wants to be with her dad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Firstly, it's not necessarily a paparazzi - it could've just been someone in their neighbourhood who posted it to facebook.

Secondly, here we are generating "engagement" with the product of their work.

[–] theragu40 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

First, sure. It could be that. My opinion is that it's awfully likely that a photo in this format was a paparazzo. And if it was a random neighbor it's pretty rude of them, too.

Second, the title of the post had zero indication that this would be a photo taken from the bushes of a celebrity and his child. Comments here in the form of "engagement" are doing absolutely nothing for the person who took the picture. I'm certain the person who made the meme didn't pay for the shot. We don't need to feel guilty because we accidentally viewed it for free on a website that generates no revenue. The people taking the picture are the ones who are wrong.

There are lots of groups out there who could use random people on the internet defending them. Paparazzi are absolutely not in that category. They are terrible people.

Best Howard Stern cosplay i've seen in a while.

[–] partial_accumen 5 points 1 year ago

Only if he goes around saying "Dubayu-EEEEENNnnnn-bee-see" while someone dressed up as Paul Giamatti constantly correcting him "no no, is Dubayu-EEeennnn-bee-see"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He could have totally pull off Celery Man though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Could I see the hat wobble?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Awesome guy

[–] RememberTheApollo_ 3 points 1 year ago

We all have our heroes.

[–] uis 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] uis 3 points 1 year ago

No, really. He is voiced by Wierd Al, he looks like Wierd Al. So he IS Wierd Al.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
