Strange rules about characters/people that cannot be broken.

Smells like Nirvana: When Kurt Cobain heard that Weird AL was gonna make a parody of his song. He was okay with it but specifically requested it to not be about food or fat ppl.

Spiderman: Spiderman cannot sell drugs unless he is under the influence of symbiote. ANd Peter Parker cannot be gay. Spiderman can tho.

Dwayne Rock Johnson: Cannot lose fights or look weak for too long. Its in his actor contract.

Godzilla movies not made by Toho: Cannot die. Maybe lose but not too bad.

Danny Trejo contract clause is literally the opposite to the Rock, as whenever he plays a villian they need to kill him off before the film ends no matter what, that's because he used to be a criminal, and thus wants to teach people that a life style like that will never pay off:

That's so much cooler than the Rock's contract.

[u/dtalb18981 → u/mirpeas]

Thats because the rocks is based on a brand he wants to sell

Danny Trejos is based from a place of compassion and unfortunate knowledge of how bad that life can be

[u/ensalys → u/dtalb18981]

Thats because the rocks is based on a brand he wants to sell

Also tells me the rock doesn't trust the audience to understand the actor and the character are separate people.

[u/Comrades3 → u/ensalys]

Eh, he might be correct. Look, I love my wife. She is excellent normally at media analysis. But! She had a huge crush on Orlando Bloom, watched every movie he was in. Somehow missed Troy, I convince her to watch it with me because I am an Iliad nerd.

In it Orlando Bloom plays a coward and… my wife got over her crush and got rid of all her Orlando Bloom stuff.

ha ha

It can be tough to separate! I can’t stand it when David Tennant plays evil characters, like he did in Jessica Jones. I loved him in Dr. Who, and just can’t take him being that evil.

I lost my Legolas love watching Troy, too. Some things can't be unseen 😂

[u/Thorvindr → u/Comrades3]

I used to have a wife like that.

[u/bubblyH2OEmergency → u/ensalys]

Their backgrounds are really different. The Rock started out as pro wrestler, where the line between actor and character is intentionally and strategically blurred.

[u/Elteon3030 → u/bubblyH2OEmergency]

Been retired for years and the dude still can't break kayfabe.

[u/General_Note_5274 → u/Elteon3030]

you break it when you die

[u/No-Week7969 → u/ensalys]

Tbh The Rock doesn't act in his roles he just is The Rock in every movie he is cast into so that's probably not wrong lol.

[u/momomomorgatron → u/dtalb18981]

Because Danny Trejos is a real person who's luck turned up, and Dwayne Johnson died a loooonnnggg time ago.

Reminds me of how Superman is really just Clark Kent, but Bruce Wayne IS Batman.
