For me it's The Rock and Chris Pratt.

Guardians of the Galaxy was great but I just wish he would stop playing starlord in every other role he's in!

I mean there's a list of actors that have ruined their shows for me:

  • Danny Masterson
  • Bill Cosby
  • Kevin Spacey
  • James Franco
  • Kevin Sorbo
  • Tom Cruise

So it's not really what you asked because these are ones that I used to love and no longer do.

For the dumbest reasons, I can't enjoy Gal Gadot. Her acting is repellent to me for some reason. Yes, she's absolutely gorgeous but the acting ain't great. I also didn't enjoy Heather Graham's acting but then I watched her in Scrubs and the role was just perfect. I hated The Rock's acting as well, but my ex had a crush on him so we watched so many of his movies. Almost all of them shite.

Kevin Spacey has been great or straight up magnificent consistently, lol, is it the moral aspect that disturbs you? I firmly believe (and evidence keeps piling up!) that most Hollywood actresses were couch casted, many boys were touched and the cycle repeats. The entire entertainment industry is compromised and has been for years (check out who taught Diddy his tricks). Nvm the "Hollywood accounting" too, money laundering and all of that.

Basically, if you're enjoying American media, odds are it was made by someone who's gonna go straight to Hell, no "Go" no 200 bucks, and bigger odds than whoever is making money out of your purchase/rental is going to an even lower circle, lol. Just pirate it and you take away your contribution to amorality, right?

A lot of actors are terrible people but Kevin Spacey specifically seems to play it up irl for some reason?

After he got booted for the whole thing he started making videos on his YouTube channel telling the world that he would come for them and that they would regret hurting him while in character as a villain from projects he's worked in in the past.

He's the only actor I know of that knows exactly why people don't want to see him and continues to play into that specifically for some reason...

Gadot being pro genocide is a good reason not to support her

I had an internal laugh to myself in the Wonder Woman movie when the Amazons had an Israeli accent. I guess it was easier to train everyone else to mimic her accent than it was for her to not let it slip.

Which Rock movies aren't shite? I recall enjoying the Rundown, but that was also well before reaching the current saturation point

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 4 points 21 hours ago

lol dude, I watched Baywatch, San Andreas, Rampage, SkyScraper, Jumanji and Central Intelligence from what I remember with my ex. I swear to God those movies get blurred in my mind due to his "samey" character/acting.

I think some of the movies you could argue that aren't shite of the Rock's are Rundown, Jumanji, Moana, and maybe some of the Fast and Furious movies. Although, I never really watched those (I've only see the first) but other people seem to enjoy them.
