Actors whose popularity you find mystifying

[Himu]

I'll say it again.

The fact that Benedict Cumberbatch is considered handsome is a testament of white supremacy's existence.

I don't get him.

Yeah Cumberbatch looks weird and more importantly, he has hardly any range. Fuck that Sherlock show for making him an international star.

His Sherlock-co star Martin Freeman is the better actor, but that guy is still mostly constricted to tv shows and lesser known movies. But that's what you get for being born a short dude I guess.

My bad, I completely forgot about The Hobbit

But his role in the MCU wasn't that big, unless Black Panther is gonna change that (not familiar with the Ross character). And the only other movie I remember with him in an important role was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But I might be mistaken here, I don't know.

Most action stars. Like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, etc. I mean they star in a lot of fun movies but they usually lack charm, wit, or range. They're pretty much just hired to show the movie has a big enough budget to have a satisfactory amount of explosions for $12+unsmuggled snacks.

Vin Diesel, Statham, and Terry Crews obviously have heaps of charm so that's different. I don't think I've seen Statham in a movie without explosions yet though. Except for Guy Ritchie movies but they view guns like we view explosions.

I used to think Mark Wahlberg was Matt Damon.

I nearly gave Dark Shake (PBUH) an aneurysm when I argued that Mark Wahlberg's corrupt cop character in The Departed was too boring and predictable.

This thread is bringing up all my awesome, contrarian mid-2000s opinions like that the Nolan Batmans<Burton Batmans or that Jessica Alba looks like a boy.

Oh you poor dear souls, being charming isn't hours of writer workshops. Stallone and Schwarz can definitely be entertaining, but I can't recall any time they rose to the level of showing chemistry with another human being.

I see we've reached the decades old hot take segment of the thread

Watch this and tell me Stallone has no charm. You can feel his energy bursting from the screen.

You must have never seen Rocky.

Possibly the most overrated movie ever
