Obviously he’s playing Turner D. Century. 

Absolutely. Hemsworth was just recently talking about how much fun it was to get to play a villain in Furiosa, as well. I feel like playing someone diabolical would just be a lot of fun in general. 

I’m not an actor, but I can imagine it is a lot of fun to play a character that is very different from your actual personality.

The Marvels reshoots had to be to remove every reference to that steaming pile of whale vomit that was Secret Invasion 

I agree he’s not great in The Mandalorian (assuming that’s one of the roles you’re talking about) but I think that speaks to recent seasons of that show being underbaked. He was playing Gus Fring as recently as 2022 in Better Call Saul, and continued to be excellent in that role. I have confidence.

Hot take! We got a hot take over here!

It’s so exhausting to see practically every rich famous white guy who reaches a certain age adopt these same tired tropes about “wokeism” simply because they amuse themselves with it and assume that everyone will be just as amused. It’s old, it’s unoriginal, and it’s the #1 sign that someone has become out of touch…

I’m really hoping he's the new Kang.

At this point I think Giancarlo Esposito could make “undisclosed villainous role” the motto on his family crest.

That would be AMAZING. They say they aren’t still tying in the rest of the MCU to everything but also DOOM WISHES THIS TO BE!

The Megan line was particularly lame in song full on lameness. They’re not in the same generation, same social circles, or even the same subgenres. It’s just unprovoked douchery at a woman because that’s what he’s been doing for 25 years and his fanbase of incels eat it up.

The chorus was just... awful. You get the throw back to a recognizable 80's song with the change of lyrics from “I want to reach out and grab ya” to “Imma ‘bout to reach in bag, brah” — <<cringing shudder>> If I were of an appropriate age to use such a term, I might say “so cringe” but because I’m Gen-X (like Eminem…

Ha, that headline came to mind for me as well. What’s funny is that he doesn’t even really say anything outrageous in the song in the first place. Like, what’s of note here: a couple of hacky trans jokes that felt like light jabs at worst, the usual tired celebrity references, and... a participation trophy reference…

Going back to my youth, the Onion had a story that stuck with me headlined

I love rap. I even love some Eminem once in awhile.

this guy ain’t been relevant since John Kerry reported for duty at the DNC

Em is overrated and been washed. And this song is hot trash 

hey, forgetting sarah marshall is great.

Maybe there’s a lack of fanfare because her only good film is Black Swan?

I like both of these guys, but I don’t know if I could handle two solid hours of THAT much handsome winkety-wink-wink.
