AgreedIt’s that hard line in a biopic to portray their demons until the audience isn’t on their side anymore, especially if they’re the “heroes”.
It’s on one end to do a Wolf of Wall Street kind of film where the lead protagonist isn’t necessarily the “hero” and all their demons are out there no apologies.
Then it’s another with a biopic where you’re specifically seeing it because the person became famous for having an extraordinary talent that you admire.
Get On Up skates the issue of James Brown beating his wife by having him look directly into the camera afterwards, ashamed. Whether that’s a cop out or not is up for debate.
Different strokes for different folks...but I 100 percent agree. Just watching him as Thor from the first movie to Avengers 1, to Ragnarok to Infinity War to Endgame shows a whole lot of range. It's not as easy as he may make it look.To say that Hemsworth just plays a variation of Thor in every other role insinuates that Thor is a one note character in the MCU, which simply isn't true.
But why would someone think that. Extraction was a balls to the wall action movie reminiscent of some of the stuff in the 80s. Most of those never featured deep characters so I don't see why anyone would expect that from Hemsworth thereHis character in Extraction was his best opportunity to play a character with some depth in my opinion and he was mostly boring. Dude who played Rav was more compelling than him. *shrugs*
They’ll probably use a body double with cgi face if they even include that sceneWho will cameo as Sylvester Stallone?
There's plenty of 80's action characters written to have some depth. The groundwork was there. The character wasn't written as a Dutch or John Matrix. He was much more in the vein of Riggs and Rambo. I found myself rooting for Rav much more than Hemsworth in it. Don't get me wrong, he's okay, but he really only stands out when he leans more towards a comedic performance. When he isn't doing that, he's pretty dull.But why would someone think that. Extraction was a balls to the wall action movie reminiscent of some of the stuff in the 80s.

I still think it was a good performance, but yeah it's not a deep one and wasn't even written to be honestly.
Oh for sure. I'm not saying there wasn't, but there were a lot who weren't and Extraction seemed to lean more into that to me. Very surface level "Oh my (insert family member) is dead." Now I'm self-loathing and have a death wish seemed to lean way more into the shallow characters who kick a lot of ass thing to me.There's plenty of 80's action characters written to have some depth.

My bigger worry is Todd Phillips. While I did enjoy Joker, it really wore it's influences on it's sleeve and I haven't seen anything from Phillips that proved to me that he could make something like this work
???Really?! You didn't absolutely enjoy the part near the end where Arthur is on Murray's couch and suddenly and completely out of character talks about society and mental illness, thereby verbally explaining the film's underlying thematic point of view directly to the audience in case they didn't get it?
That's definitely that movie's purpose, but I'm not sure he's been given much of a chance to flex his chops yet. Bad Times, Rush (his best, almost 10 years ago) and Extraction are his only films where I think he was given a character to kind of flesh out and elevate them beyond what's on the page. He plays Thor well, but I don't give as much legitmacy to the non-villain roles in the MCU. In fact, I think all the other leads in the MCU have proven themselves as quality actors, and Hemsworth is still trying to get there.Oh for sure.

But to each their own
Who will cameo as Sylvester Stallone?
The movie will end with Hulk Hogan winning every wrestling title ever, and does so by traveling back in time, forever changing the history of pro wrestling. He will then use his daughter, Brooke to win all Women's Titles ever made.
I mean, do you actually think Hemsworth got fat for Endgame and wasn’t still muscular in real life?They could've hired the Rock to play Hulk Hogan instead.
Now how will they also explain how Thor is now so muscular in the next movie, Love and Thunder? Has that started filming yet? Or does this film after that? Last we saw, Thor was fat.
