      And your argument for that is?

      He was so bad in Destiny 2 they replaced him with North for the main voice (Ghost). Fact. Members of the little people community lambasted him for ladder pulling with Snow White when he claimed to represent all little people and turned Disney away from hiring little people for the film. Fact. You can search for comments by the likes of Cara Reedy, Terra Jolé, and more.

      For the more subjective parts of he’s a bad actor, yeah that’s subjective, but I’m also by no means the first and it’s subjective so 🤷🏻‍♂️

        Man I do feel he got the shit end of the stick with destiny though. He played what they wanted, an emotionless monotone sidekick. Turns out people didn’t want that.

            Yes, and sometimes that’s the role that needs to be played.

            You realize that not everyone in real life is dramatic and life exuding yeah?

              Sure. But if talking about politics, abandonment, and hookers in a medieval fantasy (Game of thrones) is supposed to sound exactly like a grieving lover in a modern comedy (Death at a Funeral) is supposed to sound exactly like a robot guiding you through epic space adventures killing the king of chaos (Destiny 2) is supposed to sound exactly like Optimus Prime’s biggest enemy (Rise of Beasts) and that not one of them is supposed to be dramatic or life exuding then I think we fundamentally understand movies and acting differently and I would generally love a longer take from you.

                Not EVERY role needs to be life exuding, people in real life are dread and monotone, and that’s how they would be. They’re playing a role lmfao. If you don’t realize and comprehend that some people wouldn’t be affected by a death and grieve differently, you should really get out and talk to some people in real life.

                Just like someone portraying Hitler isn’t a murdering fascist. It’s not a weird take or anything, lmfao, people play different roles, if you can’t comprehend this, you really shouldn’t be watching shows and movies.

                  I understand it completely which is why I gave such a range of different characters and examples that normal people very much expect to have different mannerisms. People play different roles, Peter Dinklage plays nothing.

                  Also I disagree that people in real life are dread and monotone. Each person still is unique when I talk to them.

                  I’ll give an example more of what I’m talking about. Kristen Stewart, also often talked about for her more dialed back almost monotonous acting (although that seems to be changing more recently). Her role in Twilight still feels incredibly different from in Snow White and the Huntsman despite being on paper near identical characters personality wise.

                  Liam-neeson, also often called monotone, but still manages to make Ras al-ghuul (spelling?) feel different from his character in Taken despite very similar performances.

                  It’s also weird you used Hitler as an example, a man who is known for his charisma and exuding life and was able to give great passionate speeches. Kind of really weakened your point about monotone life.

                    That’s a lot of words to say you don’t understand a role someone’s playing.

                    All those different examples could have a dread monotone person in that position. This isn’t a hard concept to wrap your head around.

                    Kristen Stewart gets plenty of shit for her acting, it’s almost like people (like you) want a particular type of character only being shown for every role, instead of realism. Not everyone is cheery, what a shocker, they need to show this sometimes.

                    Kind of really weakened your point about monotone

                    That wasn’t an example of monotone with Hitler… I was quite clear about what example that was lmfao. If you just ignore the context I provided, it just shows you’re not here to discuss in good faith, you just want people to listen to you bitch.

          Because I’m passionate about movies and tired of seeing shitty people praised. One could probably point out your defending him is also a waste of energy?

            But I’m not being angry about it, just curious why you are. I probably wont reply again. Have a great day!

            Can you name the thing(s) he did wrong with a why attached? That’s usually how you present subjective critique. Your preconceptions about a shared frame of reference with everyone else start fraying when you assume everyone sees the problem as clearly as you do, and I speak from practical experience.
