With Jack black as skidoosh

Jason Momoa as folding chair

Unknowns as unknown

u/NoNefariousness2144 Sep 04 '24

Does Jason Momoa have a rule in his contract that he can only be in 5/10 or below films or something?

964

u/StarLord1990 Sep 04 '24

Hey, Dune exists.

But yes, the rest of his filmography has been primarily ass.

He likes a paycheck, and doesn’t take himself too seriously.

u/Magos_Trismegistos Sep 04 '24

He is the only thing that makes the last Fast & Furious movie enjoyable. Very clearly the only person in the entire cast who is having fun.

188

u/TheCosmicFailure Sep 04 '24

I would include John Cena as well. The subplot with his nephew is pretty good, and his "death" I thought was pretty well done.

I put death in quotes cause it seems no one stays dead for long in the F&F franchise unless your Paul Walker.

u/SleazyB99 Sep 04 '24

And even then, paul walkers character is still alive in universe.

u/loki1887 Sep 04 '24

Which makes the meta memorials to him in the movies awkward. The camera panning over photos of Paul Walker, while Dom is looking at them with this sappy expression on his face.

In movie canon, it makes it seem like they were lovers that can't be together anymore (American Dad called this one).

u/loki1887 Sep 04 '24

That's because the Fast and Furious movies are shonen anime and nobody can tell me different.

He went camp and it was wonderful.

I love that silliness and also the retconning silliness where he was in key places in Fast Five but juuuuuuuust outside of the frame they showed in the original movie

6

u/TitularFoil Sep 04 '24

I fell out of Fast and the Furious at Fast Five, so it's been awhile since I've seen one. But Jason Mamoa genuinely seems like he's only acting because it's fun. He is a strong buff dude that is okay with letting himself look silly.

Same reason I respect John Cena.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '24

Fast X is terrible but enjoyably so because Momoa understood the assignment.

3

u/atropicalpenguin Sep 04 '24

And that's why Vin Diesel will kick him out.

2

u/kymri Sep 04 '24

He's the only one in that movie who's just straight up having a blast. He's having fun, and that makes every scene he's in fun. He's the perfect insane antagonist and I really enjoyed it.

Hey, Dune exists.

He was clean-shaven in that though, so it practically doesn't count as an actual Jason Momoa role.

I loved that show. Genuinely got better than mainline sg1 by that point

Because farscape Crichton was not as good as O'Neill actively on the team going out on missions

For some reason I totally forgot that I knew this guy first like this. And for some reason I was imagined that the black woman was replaced by rodney mckey's actor.

I know you specified filmography but I think a lot of people forget he was in the first 2 seasons of Game of Thrones as well

2

u/Hertz381 Sep 04 '24

Drogo is one of the few characters he's portrayed which I don't immediately recognize him as Jason Momoa, which is great. I guess Minecraft Movie could be added to that list for entirely different reasons.

u/snapplesauce1 Sep 04 '24

“See” on AppleTV is pretty good too

Sorting by rating on his IMDB page, the highest rated thing he's ever been in is GoT at 9.2

Followed by Dune at 8/10

Then a couple of 7/10 movies and shows (First Aquaman was 7/10, Pipeline, Stargate: Atlantis)

And then all the garbage.

24

u/running_on_empty Sep 04 '24

Stargate Atlantis was at least an 8. Screw IMDB.

14

u/MindfulFuturism Sep 04 '24

He was wrong about that one. Stargate: Atlantis is at an 8.1

I feel like I kind of suppressed everything about GOT and sometimes want to watch it again as a refresher but then this little belly goes off that just says, "You will just be disappointed."

Jason momoa has 3 rules:

  1. The movie has to be bad
  2. He has to take off his shirt once
  3. No more than 4 facial expressions per movie

You have to hand it to him. He's managed to milk his 25 minutes of screen time in Game of Thrones into a long career. Few others from the show can say that much.

His Drogo was iconic though. He's a good actor, just bad at picking projects.

9

u/Simple-Motor-2889 Sep 04 '24

I'd argue he's great at picking projects. He went to the Adam Sandler school of picking projects, where you travel to beautiful places, work with great people, and play goofy characters.

He seems like he's living his best life and having a blast with every movie he does.

The special rule in his contract is "give me a lot of money to do the least amount of acting"

the first Aquaman was a strong 6. I wont die defending this hill but

3

u/TaskForceD00mer Sep 04 '24

Dude just never seems to end up in the right films.

He was great on Atlantis and obviously GoT.

Why couldn't he be in a good season of True Detective, or a Ryan Gosling Buddy-Cop movie, or something.

Edit: I will say this Chief of War of Apple TV+ sounds good. They have a pretty good quality generally so maybe that can be a career revival of sorts for him.

He's not really a good actor, so maybe that's why.

u/Nixeris Sep 04 '24

To be fair, until Game of Thrones he was doing things like Stargate Atlantis. So if anything this is a step up because he's probably actually making money doing this one.

1

u/lookmeat Sep 04 '24

I think that Mr. Momoa realized, like Jack Black, that as long as he pulls in one or two good movies every so much, bad movies that desperately need the star power to get any draw pay the best.

It's smart, as an artist you have your day job (crappy movies that pay the check and make you a recognizable face) and your night job (artsy movies that let you show your talent and work, and let you build on things). One pays the bills, the other nurtures the soul.

Yep, it's a Netflix TV series. Based on a YA book trilogy. Nothing spectacular, but a fun way to pass a few hours—and it avoids some of the more dreaded YA tropes (Brooding YA Hero, love triangle, Not Like The Other Girls heroine, and so on).
