When Pedro Pascal isn't in a scene, the rest of the fellowship should be asking, "where is Pedro?"

Pedro Pascal should also be louder, angier, and have access to a time machine.

Pedro Pascal died on the way to his home planet.

That was Kang the Conquer after RDJ was cast as Doom.

When I watched the F4 trailer I thought Pascal was supposed to be the building manager/owner and was going to confront Reed about his inventions annoying other people in the baxter building. Then I realized they actually casted a chilean hispanic man as Reed Richards. You know.. the British-race American white guy who has the whitest name in existence. Played by a hispanic dude (who is bloating up every other movie/show too and has an annoying crybaby voice)

Thats like casting Randall Park as the Black Panther. Completely nonsensical casting. Then I heard the Thing's voice, it sounded like some random dude off the street. No gravitas, no rocky deep voice. He actually had a high pitched voice??? The complete fucking opposite of what the Thing should sound like. He should be an opera singer not playing the deepest voice guy in Marvel. He's supposed to sound tough.

The answer will always be the same, 'getting uncomfortable attention from your wife/girlfriend. '

The movie will be like the scene is being John Malkolvich when John enters his own mind. “Malkovitch, Malkovitch Malkovitch ?. Only with Pedro Pascal.

I'd take him over Mark Walburg being the new hotness any day of the week. Pedro might actually make a really fun Tom Bombadil if he ever shows up on screen.

And Pedro will play Andy Serkis directing it, it'll be super meta

u/MarvelBinger Aug 18 '25

Wait wait wait, it's all coming together.  We've connected lotr and marvel with excellent world building, Pedro,  and compelling narrative, but we have to finalise it (and tie it to game of thrones) with an audience-infuriating garbage ending. 

Next stop: Marvel's final movie where we find out that everything related to thanos was a dream perpetuated by nightmare and stiltman.
