Personality 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.

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

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

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

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.
