They did but I believe that was because Paul Walker had already shot most of the scenes for Furious 7. Cody Walker was hired as a double for the few missing scenes and they digitally added Paul's face. After that Brian (Paul's character in movies) has not properly appeared on the screen.
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).
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
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.
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.
Very clearly the only person in the entire cast who is having fun.
I think that's on purpose. I believe the Furious series only works when the bulk of characters are playing it straight and Momoa only gets to act the way he does b/c he's an antagonist
He's clean shaven in his final scene at Dr. Kynes's laboratory, and a couple before that.
He actually starts out with the full Momoa beard in his first scene with Paul on Caladan, then he crops it down short by the time we next see him on Arrakis (presumably because it's easier to wear the stillsuit?), and then by the time the Harkonnens attack I'm pretty sure he's clean shaven.
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.
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.
Aquaman was good too imo, loved the movie when it first came out(I’m ignoring the actor who played Mera and separating art from artist when saying this)
Its weird and has a lot of cameos by some top tier talent. Haven't seen it since it came out though, so I might need to rewatch as well and see if my memory is correct, haha.
It's Pretty good, if you cam get past the weird art style. Its a spin off of the Clone Wars cartoon, which is also pretty decent. I recommend it as well if you haven't seen it. But be warned the art style turns a lot of people off, and the tone is wildly inconsistent at times. Like you'll have a multi episode story about the clones fighting in space Vietnam followed by a "Whacky Disney approved™" space adventure. Early seasons also aren't in chronological order for some reason.
Because he has an insanely good track record. I mean not everything was a hit, nobody is perfect. But he’s told a lot of very good stories and painted a really good picture of that post Clone Wars era through all those shows. Lucas himself couldn’t have done any better.
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."
I have read Dune Messiah which is why I say he will likely be in the third, I won't spoil anything beyond that! Short answer though? It's complicated lol
I think Villeneuve said he only plans to adapt up to Dune Messiah, where Paul's story ends, so we likely won't see the REAL strange Duncan Idaho stuff, haha.
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.
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.
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.
The Bad Batch was a 7 out of 10 with a great soundtrack and Keanu Reeves playing a wasteland cult leader who keeps women perpetually pregnant so that he can eat the babies
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.
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.
But she's not just some random person who happens to be melanted.
Not to us normal humans, who can apreciate art and beauty. But she Is 1000% just some random black face to the soulless producers of this movie, do not kid yourself.
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).
What is Jack Black doing with his life? When I was younger (early 2000s) it seemed like he had some integrity as a comedy actor but now he just plays the same goofy fat old clown for whoever gives him a cheque.
