honestly ... yeah i agree with this. i think of actors like mark ruffalo for example, who is capable of truly incredible things, and it kinda hurts my heart that in 50 years or so he'll be better remembered for his turn as bruce banner than for anything like spotlight or zodiac or shutter island.
i also think about tom holland, who is by far the most charming spiderman and seems to enjoy doing it — will this be more of a jumping off point for him? i hope so; baby can act. he more than held his own against robert pattinson in the devil all the time, which is saying a lot. i would hate to see him mostly cast in goofy shoot shoot bang bang bullshit after this.
i've seen quite a few "pedro pascal in marvel when?" type posts lately. i'm not inserting myself into the marvel vs ✨cinema✨ debate right now even though i have some thoughts about it, but i will say this: i can't imagine wishing for this poor man to get stuck in marvel hell for the next 10 years or so
i enjoy marvel properties on the whole — they're fun and sometimes genuinely emotionally resonant, but they do have a tendency to swallow up good actors and not spit out their withered husks until character death occurs
