classic
he was supposed to act like an emotionally stunted autistic pseudo intellectual
so i'd say he portrayed you pretty well
intense pressure on him to earn his hipster cred in every role hes in now
yes a director directs an actor to act a specific way and then they film it
no way
do you think actors just step in front of a camera, do whatever they want, then walk away? a movie production is a serious enterprise everything is planned out well in advance including how the actors act.
no way
So when this came out, I went to see it with this friend of mine, who I always go to watch capeshit with. I like him but objectively you would have to describe him as an almost 40 year old, unattractive manbaby, who’s also a kissless virgin, and who has a really small dick (never saw it, but he implied as much on several occasions).
Overall he loved it, which did come as no surprise, as he is a DC fanboy with cabinets full of merchandise, who has gobbled up and praised everything DC has ever put out. (Motherfucker made me watch the Snyder Cut twice)
He even liked the casting for Catwoman, he thought she was hot, even though she’s black (quote).
However one aspect he disliked was Dano’s classic portrayal of the Riddler. (He didn‘t know the actor from anything else, because he literally only watches capeshit)
He said they should have cast a more conventionally attractive actor for the role, because Dano looks like a typical nerd people can make fun of for his looks, thus negatively representing people like my friend in media.
So that shouldn’t surprise me, but somehow it did. Even physically undesirable people don’t like to see people like them shown in media. People like my friend don’t like to be presented as ugly autists, as blacks don’t like to be presented as thugs, I guess.
So what do you think, should capeshit producers whitewash these incel roles, in order to not alienate their core audience?
Well, that character was never really known for being attractive. So i don't really know why they'd suddenly make him attractive.
After watching his "acting" in then there will be blood, i decided not to watch a movie with this cunt in it.
He’s like Joaquin phoenix. Plays the same tempo in most his of roles. Even in Fablemans he was still creepy as fuck lol.
It's supposed to be an inverse of the modern portrayal of Batman villains.
It starts out as having Riddler be "le badass anti-hero", but even then, cracks of someone else are showing.
Then this scene comes, and it shows that he's a fucking loser baby-man with a high intellect but no social skills.
In the real world, in modern times, this is probably what Riddler would be.
A terminally online autist trying to out-play everyone.
/misc/ was filtered by his performance.
He was supposed to be a Zodiac Killer knock off
In terms of costume and crimes, yes. It was a way to bring the Riddler persona into the real world.
But that isn't ALL he is.
If that's all he was, he'd have no motivation. But since he does, he's more than that.
Riddler is a perfect representation of the typical anon so it makes sense they wouldn't (or rather, don't want to) recognize this
I agree. I think it fits very well while also playing into the goofiness of the character's faults.
He's an autist who thinks he's smarter than everyone else and that his favourite celebrity would be his best friend if he met him.
So really he's the average /misc/ poster
what movie
There Will Be Blood 2: It Begins Again
2re will be blood
he acted pretty close to how I imagine lots of you guys
That’s the point. He acts the way an extremely online midwit who had never seen an incel might imagine how they act.
I literally saw two /misc/ posters get up and run out of the theater crying when Dano sang Ave Maria.
He just goes overboard in that one scene, but it's basically because he's in prison and goes a bit nuts.
The movie was cast and written by AI, don't think too much about it.
Turning a goofy villain like the Riddler into an incel mass shooter caricature is the epitome of capeshit movies taking themselves too seriously
he was literally me
You can really tell what fags on this site spend virtually no time outside and socialize when they can't recognize an emotional breakdown
just shows how successful they were at making him an autist when it actually filters the autists
