Aurora and Cinderella are ingénues and were never meant to have an "arc" or be developed characters.

This is due to the way the film is made. They are all reacting to a green screen. Their takes were all short and fragmented to accommodate the effects.
Matthew Williams

Are you trying to imply we don't also think these are lame characters? The difference is nobody are saying these protagonists are inspiring or are "role models." Who the fuck would ever try and make the protag to the second Independence Day movie a memorable role model, these characters are factory produced and they're meant to be.
Carter Flores
Ryan Johnson
Also their characters are vastly different. You can't put Leo from Inception into the setting of Immortals for example.
Cameron Anderson
Aiden Nelson
We get it, tranny.

Blame The Matrix. Keanu was smart enough to understand that such an outlandish premise required a very subdued performance to ground the tone and in effect audiences were able to identify with him and project onto the character better. Don’t think studios didn’t take note
Jackson Bell
Sebastian Thomas
Logan Butler
Hive mind. But for real, he’s the progenitor of this. Action stars in his heyday (Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme) would typically act very over the top. Will Smith was the first choice for Neo and even he’s since admitted he would’ve have played it completely differently (think Wild Wild West era Smith) and ruined the movie
Jack Gonzalez
Caleb Kelly
I wonder if Neo was the inspiration for many later blockbuster protagonists, some of which have already been posted ITT. Jason Bourne, New Mad Max etc.
It's like Matrix set off a decade of strong and silent heroes before the MCU came along and ushered in the Age of the Quips
Hudson Roberts
The list of male characters just serves as a perfect example that the greek system was the best, and that men should play even the female roles, because actresses nowadays bring absolutely fuck all to the screen.
Samuel Parker
Finally we have gender equality of shitty protagonists.
Noah Wood
Unironically fucking based.
>inb4 dilate
No, you dilate. And have sex virgin, you ain't getting any younger.
David Wood
Shut it, incel.
Jeremiah Sanders
Bottom right. When did Jasmine become an arrogant smug bitch?
Daniel Moore
Me an incel? Ahahaahahahaahah oof
Tyler Bennett
All the roasties posting male characters don't understand it works for men being serious and showing minimum emotions. This dumb roasties men and women are equal and should act the same. Just grow a penis and I'll treat you equal otherwise you better smile and be pretty.
Ayden Diaz
They're shitty, and it shouldn't be a goal to aim for mediocrity, but I'll take stoic Keanu over bitchy white girl #5500 any day, the chief reason being I think males are naturally more appealing for those roles than women. I can just suspend my disbelief more with a character like John Wick than I can with Brie Larson, and I think most people can, otherwise you'd be getting video after video essay on why the character never smiles.

that jasmine casting offends me more than it should.
Joseph Roberts
punctuation, bro
Adrian Gonzalez
if you think comparing John Wick with Rey is actually a good argument you are retarded

Didn't see Captain Marvel but did see her in Endgame and she was very obnoxious. Every single scene she was in would be improved if she wasn't there.
Wyatt Rogers
Jon Wick is a non-character
Dominic Stewart
I'll take him over daisy any day because Keanu knows how to play a non character
Asher Harris
what's wrong with cinderella face? i remember she was gorgeous in the movie
Charles Miller
wrong
Justin Taylor
unironically what is fanning doing there
Michael Sanders
