do you think actors question thier roles and the director/writer?

[Kyle Nuva]

asking the real questions here for all things on tv and the big screen

one character is set up to die and its a stupid death, well thats just infuriating
it could also be avoided

your role is minor and might get treated like trash

the plot holes and everything else in the plot and a scene thats being filmed

villains role that makes no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense

hero or villains goal going no where

the plot going nowhere

doing something stupid that might get them killed, the team killed or caught

you play the annoying brat

you play the crazy guy talking to himself

you play the gullible noob

Probably depends on the actor. Edward Norton is notorious for trying to take over productions, whereas Eric Roberts allegedly loves to work and will take on almost any paying role, to the point where Redditors have hired him.

However, I absolutely judge actors by what movies they've played in.

It always bugs me the type of people that always play the villain.

When making Armageddon Ben Affleck asked Michael Bay if it made more sense to train oil drillers to be astronauts than vice-versa and Bay told him to 'shut the ♥♥♥♥ up'.

I know that I could not be an actor, as I would not perform many of the things that a script may call for.

[volusat]

in some cases the actors are the ones making bad plot points

[AdahnGorion]

They used to.
Now most people have no clue what they act and just do themselves

[Insomniac Jack]

Marlon Brando was famous for this, going off script, etc.
Klaus Kinski was an all around unhinged psychopath.

In more recent times, Henry Cavill constantly expressed concern over the Witcher series and ended up leaving for the 3rd season due to disagreements over the show's direction.

Mark Hamill was quite sarcastic and annoyed over the Star Wars the Force Awakens in interviews, and a number of Game of Thrones actors expressed disappointment with the last season; some even mentioned questioning the directors at some points and basically getting the "we hear you, but we don't care, just do it" response.

Also, not long ago, Joaquin Phoenix walked out of a gay drama right before filming was set to begin.

Wow, that sounds just like the Borderlands movie. In the end a job is a job, and even those in Hollywood will not turn down a job no matter what the script is.

Yes we do.

But for many of us, it's not that serious. It's a paycheck while trying to have a little fun, but nonetheless doing the best work we can given the/our circumstances.

For a lot of actors, it's just a job that in the end helps folks escape reality for a while, not some all-important, world-ending project a lot of uneducated armchair critic nutjobs on the Internet personally perceive movies and television to be.

Of course, most actors won't say that sort of thing because the industry relies on nutjobs who take make-believe too seriously.

Producers, casting directors, writers -- if I had a dime for the number of times I've heard them on a set, or at lunch or dinner in my city, laughing at you guys, laughing that you take it deadly seriously and you'll create petitions and yet eat it all up and wait for more, I'd be pretty well off.

Many actors turn down roles for various reasons. Matt Damon turned down the lead role in "Avatar" which cost him 450 million dollars in earnings.

Sometimes it damages the character when they retcon.

Guyladriel would make sense continue being Guyladriel as she was a rebel in the content written about her.

It is actually the LOTR fans who have made the characters into something they weren't.

And sometimes they're too afraid to not follow the narrative that they end up repeat the narrative expectations.

That wizard in rings of power is not gandalf as many pointed out.

But they haven't anyone of them readed the content. Yes that isn't gandalf as that man had no name. And that is why he has no name in the show as he wasn't given one.

But that is all there is known. Most is made up content to fill up gaps in plot who leads nowhere and why old content is used as cement between each brick to make it hold.

When the narrative wanted more white dudes they ended up making black people in LOTR into white dudes.

That is how it works = You complain and they change it. They don't care how you think since yourself don't use any logic.
