Hasbr-uh-oh - Business and Tariffs Discussion

the problem is that comics last for decades; but comic book movies typically get a trilogy and they're out. Unless you do the same villain each time, you typically don't have time for them to be recurring.

Think of James Bond; the villains in those films are typically gone by the end of the movie, aside from Blofeld and a handful of others.

And that's like 30+ movies!!!

Superhero films always had a tendency off their villains in one go, but the villains still used to have much meatier roles.

Nicholson and Ledger each only had one go as the Joker, but each of them did far more than most one-off MCU villain actors got

If we want to stick with Marvel for comparison, there's Tobey's villains.

Okay they're not one-offs anymore. But they were for long enough that I think they still count.

... I actually feel Christian Bale gave a really good and compelling performance in Thor 4.

Would you swear on it?

Would you swear on it?

I mean, judging from the other responses I got from that post in this thread, I'm clearly not the only one here who felt Bale's performance was the only good thing in that movie.

...good enough, I'll take it.

It's just such a shame that Bale nailed the Batman voice from jump in Batman Begins only to dial it up to 11 and the point of parody in TDK.

By contrast, I thought that Terminator: Salvation acquired a certain Narm Charm by having Bale use a similar voice for John Connor. (It really comes across in the teaser trailer.)
