He’s not wrong about “latching onto the wrong part” of the character. I honestly think the “I can be invisible” bit in Infinity War is the worst minute in the movie, because the movie thinks it’s much funnier than it is, makes the momentum of the movie stop dead, and it also just makes Drax look dumb. Like, the charact…

thank you, means a lot!

Starting to think you might be my favorite writer here, honestly. And it’s not just because of your article, but how you’re laying out all the ignorant fools in the comment thread with straight facts.

You seem to forget that WWE is at its heart, Scripted. All the drama, all the bullshit, a lot of it is scripted. Sure some is adlibbed, and it requires actual Physicallity and wrestling training. He’s been acting since 2000 as part of the WWE. Just not in a form most people watch.

he is immensely likeable, plus his name is fun to say.

Big Dave seems like a great guy too.

Yeah I’m very happy to see him constantly trying new kinds of roles. Would love to see him in more dramatic fare - I thought he was great in the small parts he had in BR2049 and Spectre. Excited to see what he can bring to Dune and Knives Out 2

Is it weird that I’m really proud of Bautista? He’s had such a fascinating career. Yeah, he does the occasional action movie worthy of his athletic prowess, but then he gets cast in stuff like Blade Runner 2049, Dune, or the new Knives Out. He’s one of the few wrestlers-turned-actors who I feel loves the craft.

I have seriously mixed feelings about places like the British Museum.

As a Brit, when friends from the US came to visit, I took them to the British Museum, and introduced it as where we keep a bunch of the shit we stole. Unfortunately, there are still many Brits who long for the days of empire. They get very upset at the idea of giving things back.

Considering how many national treasures the British Museum stole during the 19th and 20th centuries, it’s just one small step toward karmic restitution for them to have one of their national treasures nicked by someone else.

Hell, he gave himself to us freely. (And it should probably count for something that he went through the relative pain in the ass of becoming a citizen to do it, too.)

If you want to be equal parts entertained and infuriated, check out his Police Raids episode. Dude does his homework.

you aren’t joking. I’m glad we get him. 

They didn't want him anyways because no one knew who he was.

John Oliver is a national treasure.  Yes, we have stolen him from the UK and he is ours.  

Came here to say exactly this! I was at first thinking I heard him wrong, then I was like: oh. Hearing him talk about Black hair like he has some, coming out in his Brit accented uber-white and bespectacled face was GOLD.

Not anymore. He put the brains and the brawn together. The best of both worlds. He’s Mark ‘have some tacos’ Ruffalo.

But he’s always angry.
