What the frick happened to Mike Myers? He used to be the funniest comedic actor in Hollywood in the late 90s and early 2000s and then he just disappeared off the face of the earth.

Apparently he's a huge obnoxious homosexual to work with/for and when his hot streak ended and started making a few bombs he had no connections to fall back on because everyone hated him.
He was asked to do more AP movies in recent years and turned them down as far as his friends say. Officially AP4 has been in development hell for years.
Myers is the holdout.
I'm sure tempers have cooled by now. I'm talking about 20 years ago when he had his box office poison Love Guru and hot off the heels of AP. He disappeared for the rest of the 2000s/most of the 2010s.
A fourth AP movie would be terrible. They had three great ones; you gotta end it while you're on top.
>They had three great ones
I only find the first one enjoyable upon revisiting.
he wrote the first one with his ex wife
probably why 2 has to reuse so many jokes
>They had three great ones
The third one was shit and fans and critics alike both shat on it. I think this is also why we haven't got AP4 is because Mike is neurotic about it not getting a good reception and his ego couldn't handle it's failure.
I liked the third one.
I disliked it when it came out but on a rewatch it's fine. I think its main problem is that it's just more of the same.
I LOVE GOOOOOOOOOOOLDmember
The black chick was hot.
Me and my best friends still fricking lose our shit when one of us starts quoting Goldmember, which happens about once a day.
The third was GOLD
It'd be a pure money play like all of these sequels 20 years after the fact. Quality be damned.
Exactly.
So AP4 would have to be as dead as mini-me by now, right?
He should do the artgay thing, and make a movie about the doomed production of an Austin Powers 4.
>holding auditions for the new Mini Me
>Peter Dinklage walks in, and stone faces everything Mike Myers suggests
Tell me that wouldn't be good
>Peter Dinklage has openly slammed the Austin Powers character 'Mini Me' as an archaic and offensive characterization of Little People, TMZ reports.
>However, after some negotiation after a series of rewrites, Mr. Dinklage has accepted the new main role in Austin Powers 4, with Myers now taking on a supporting role as new character, 'Mega Me'.
Yer hired kid
good.
The Love Guru killed his career
yeah this was supposed to be his big comeback and it went like a fart in the wind.
He was just way to full of himself and tried to use this movie for a vehicle of his own philosophical ideas.
comedic actors usually are popular no more than 10 years, after that they lose touch with what's funny
Comedic actors are writers?
Ok but nobody in Hollywood has done anything as funny as him in the last 15 years. If he really "lost touch" then shouldn't something funnier have come out since he stopped making movies?
Being funny is problematic now
You can only be post-ironically funny now, where the joke is that you were trying to be funny.
He’s doing Shrek 5 and had a Netflix show Pentaverate (which was actually funny). Dude has a family now and is mega rich he doesn’t need to try hard.
pentaverate was moronic and not in a fun way
>which was actually funny
No it wasn't, you fricking moron.
He had an anti-white series about conspiracies recently.
he was a talented writer and comic actor. so talented he could treat people like shit and still create successful movies
but that only works while you're relatively young
>but that only works while you're relatively young
It worked for Chevy Chase for like 50 years.
not really. he ended up having to do tv
>It worked for Chevy Chase for like 50 years.
No it didn't. It worked for about as long as it did for Myers and then he hung around Hollywood like an unflushable turd accepting worse and worse roles until he became a joke casting. No one wants to end up like Chevy Chase.
Straight white males are no longer allowed in pedowood.
He was targeted by Skull and Bones for failing to prevent Kanye West from revealing the truth about Bush not caring about black people to the masses, I found this out from listening to Kanye albums in a dream after taking a very spiritual edible.
>What the frick happened to Mike Myers?
A single role destroyed his career.
not cat in the hat though since that was great
How do you respond without sounding mad
>stop forcing that homosexual meme, kanye
God bless Kanye, he was right, Bush and the israelites hate black people
It's a combination of what all the other anons have said
>not a guy a lot of people want to work with in the first place
>bitter about having to make the nightmarish cat in the hat movie as a contractual obligation
>super salty about the Love Guru and feels like audiences turned on him
>has frick you money and doesn't need to work if he doesn't want to
He popped his head out to do a cameo in Inglorious Basterds so he's apparently willing to take even bit parts if he's actually interested. He's just not that interested recently
none of the austin powers movies hold up. do not rewatch them.
this is moronicly false and an ungroovy take.
some of the most kino comedies of all time.
>lol what if swinging sixties secret agent ahd to deal with how woke the mid-90s are? You cant even rape women anymore!
>You cant even rape women anymore!
meds
The first one holds up, the second one is cringe now and the third one was always bad.
watched them recently the first two are still hilarious. never liked goldmember even when it came out.
He got buttblasted that the Love Guru bombed and stopped making films while coasting off increasingly larger Shrek paychecks
Goldfinger, Cat in the Hat, Shrek sequels and Love Guru. That's what happened.
His most profitable film being pic related doesn't help. It's kinda ass.
Chuds astroturfing everything against MAGA is gay af
You dumb homosexual, he just appeared as Dr. Evil in a Super Bowl ad last year...of course he's gonna make a sequel. He's been away from Hollywood to focus on family. Hhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYoa64x59g4
>he just appeared as Dr. Evil in a Super Bowl ad last year
And he got paid enough to afford not working for 10 more years
How did they manage to get the entire cast back together for some shitty commercial but they can't make an actual movie?
>the all look way older
>frau looks the same
Yikes they need to change up his outfit. Looks alarmingly close to you know who.
How did I miss this? I can't recall ever seeing a thread of it on here last year. Also It's a shame Robert Wagner is too old for the role of Number 2 now, he was one of the best characters
Because there's nothing sadder than an old queen.
rewatched them all recently.
1 > 3 > 2
I remembered 2 being the best one but it's by far the most aimless and derivative. people shit on 3 for being a retread but 2 is far far worse in that regard.
This. At least 3 tries to be different and has some variety in the gags. But they're all kino though
He should have allowed himself to introduce himself
his latest project, the pentaverate, was embarrassing. some black woman comes in to save the day to make the illuminati diverse.
Yup, that sounds like a Netflix product.
if he went any longer he would've overstayed his welcome, he got his bag and got out
Net worth of $200M I wouldn’t work either
he made over billion dollars with the Austin Powers movies.
He's counting his money and banging his live-in 20 year old girlfriends, at least, that's what he should be doing.
>Oh, no, I'm english, actually.
He made The Pentaverate.
Literally AP formula
>he plays multiple characters
>there's poopooo jokes
>there's looong winded scenes that are just set up for a couple punchlines
>the humor is the exact same
>Nobody watched it
Imo, that kind of humor is vey stale and old and naive on this cynical times.
He's also very old so the multiple characters just don't have enough charm
he made that Netflix show that was kind of funny but idk he's just not that funny anymore he's been doing the same schtick for 30+ years now I could just watch Wayne's world or Austin powers
Why did Austins dad hate The Dutch so much?
He lost his mojo
He shit joked himself in the Austin Powers movie to the point that the public woke up and realized all he really does well is a Scottish accent as Fat Bastard and... that's about it!
