This is why I like Darth Vader in Star Wars (1977) way more than I do in any other project. In this movie, he's portrayed way closer to the Emporer's weird Rasputin Monk friend than anyone with an actual role in the government, so everyone barely puts up with the fact he's there

I'm excited to see what Watiti does from the ground up. I like a lot of the texture of Ragnarok, but all of its weakest elements come from being tied down to an existing draft/structure

It is so funny that this was the original intent until the Dream Warriors director came on and said "There's only one person who can possibly play this role, but if we cast him, we have to make a comedy instead."

Been reading the comic, wonder if they'll ever do an adaptation of The Mask that's more like the dark source material, make it more of a horror movie
