What causes this phenomenon?
Name one movie
>>216488915Ready Player One
>>216488915ready player one
>>216488895Marketing you fucking moron. >>216488915Watch more movies instead
>>216488895Men are shallow and will not accept a truly ugly female protagonist in film. Books can get away with it because they don't force you to actually look.
>>216488895>Injury in the manga vs injury in the anime
>>216488915Mortal EnginesAlso Ready Player One
>>216488895People aren't allowed to be ugly in hollywood movies. Even the character actors, once a bastion of "averageness" in movies and TV, can't be too average looking anymore.
>>216488895If you pay several millions of dollars for an actor, some productions don't want to have to cover up the face that gets butts into seats>What about the heavy makeup/masks/etcEven in those cases they end to find some way to bullshit up scenes with the actors just being normal for a few scenes
In a book, everyone can imagine their own version of "horribly disfigured but beautiful anyway" character.Film has to actually show a person.
>>216489051meanwhile, in the real wold we have womanslop like this
>>216488915Game of Thrones
>>216488895only bitter lnadwhales complain about this because they can have attractive women in film at all.men aren't complaining that the character isn't hideous enough
>>216489450>Hester's face was a portrait that had been furiously crossed out. A hideous scar ran down from forehead to jaw. Her mouth was wrenched sideways in a permanent sneer, her nose a smashed stump, and her single eye stared at him out of the wreckage, as grey and chill as a winter sea.Even in a postapocalyptic world full of starvation and murder, everyone who ever sees her without her bandana freaks outThe kindhearted protagonist first considers that maybe he'd be generous enough to throw her some dick after a year knowing her and learning how cool she is (I presume they do it doggystyle or put a paper bag on her head)
>>216489139The most jarring thing is that you can have a film where the protagonist is a homeless tweaker, an alcoholic, or a prisoner of war, and every one of those characters will still be played by an actor with perfect teeth.
>>216488915Mortal EnginesGame of Thrones
>>216489492Elordi in Frankenstein is the most Safe Ugly monster I've ever seen in live actionIt's like they calibrated every detail of him to be anime hotI guess there's only so much you can do when you're starting with a 6'6" supermodel
>>216489620>as grey and chill as a winter seaFr is this what passes for writing these days? No cap uncs this is embarrassing
>>216488915Game of Thrones (Tyrion in general, but also based facial scar)Season 2 of Netflix Punisher (Jigsaw)
>>216488895I think it's a combination of assuming the audience doesn't actually want to look at a genuinely horrifying person at length as one of their main characters, and also that it's too much effort and probably cost to keep having to do complicated make up or prosthetics or whatever as opposed to a simple scar.
>>216489666Blame America. They are obsessed with having perfect teeth over there
>>216488895Literally Mortal Engines. >Wears a mask for most of the movie. >Mask comes off>She looks totally normal.
>>216488915Game of thrones is the first that comes to mind. Tyrion was supposed to have a severed pig nose.
>>216490090Actors get their jobs by sucking penis so they need clean teef
>>216490258they should give that actor body mods and reshoot it
Dumb&Dumber chickened out from shooting this. >Biter’s mouth tore free, full of blood and flesh. He spat, grinned, and sank his pointed teeth into her flesh again. This time he chewed and swallowed. He is eating me, she realized, but she had no strength left to fight him any longer. She felt as if she were floating above herself, watching the horror as if it were happening to some other woman, to some stupid girl who thought she was a knight. It will be finished soon, she told herself. Then it will not matter if he eats me. Biter threw back his head and opened his mouth again, howling, and stuck his tongue out at her. It was sharply pointed, dripping blood, longer than any tongue should be. Sliding from his mouth, out and out and out, red and wet and glistening, it made a hideous sight, obscene. His tongue is a foot long, Brienne thought, just before the darkness took her. Why, it looks almost like a sword.
>>216488895Because if they’re too ugly, and they don’t want to admit this, the audience would sympathize with the villains on some level.
>>216489051nuh uh women are more shallower u dumb cunt bitch :P
>>216490347It took me way too long to parse the nickname so I was just picturing Jim Carrey doing this and the worst part is it kinda works
>>216489746
>>216488895Because in visual media you need to look at the deformity you fucking mong.>uhhh why don't da movie show facial deformities?How many people look at victims of acid attacks for fun?
