Any of the 20 main english anime actors? Idk anime actors like that, someone else probably does, but i HAVE skimmed their IMDB's and god damn. Some of these people have 200+ roles in the last decade. There's gotta be some protag typecast whose team could just wipe out entire solar systems with minimal effort.

Gonna toss in Doug Jones. If the character is in a full body suit there is a very good chance it’s him. He is an entire legion of monsters.

When you're built like a stickbug, you're gonna get cast to play eldritch creatures 🤷

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 38 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Christopher Lee.

Saruman, Count Dooku, Sherlock, Rasputin and a whole army of Draculas.

Don't forget DEATH from the Discworld series

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

When the hell was Christopher Lee Pratchetts death because I NEED that in my life.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I think in Going Postal, which is also the best Pratchett adaptation IMO. It also has the perfect Vetinari in Charles Dance.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

he also shed the blood of saxon men. To be more precise 4000 saxon men.

And a guy with an (oddly accurate little) golden gun who also has his own theme song.

Four pictures of characters that David Tennant has played: The Doctor, Crowley, Scrooge McDuck, Kilgrave.

Goes back in time to mess with you, stops time to mess with you, buys your house and your car and your grandma and her dog, tells you to step on a lego.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I... I think one of those would be a lot less nice than that.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 12 points 3 days ago (3 children)

My sibling in Nyarlathotep, have you ever had the misfortune to step on a lego?

I swear this man is a gift from god herself

[–] invertedspear@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago

Sean Connery:

James Bond

Alan Quartermain (league of extraordinary gentlemen)

Draco (the dragon in Dragonheart)

King Richard

I’m pretty sure King Arthur at some point

An immortal Highlander

Macbeth

That’s a hell of a D&D party.

[–] Drekaridill@feddit.is 86 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Morgan Freeman has been God

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Could we say that Jim Carrey has also? Along with The Mask, Robotnik, and maybe The Riddler for good measure, he could be pretty formidable.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

So many times, that's a lot of gods

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Liam Neeson would be a force to contend with.

Qui-Gon Jinn

Zeus

Aslan

R'al al Ghul

A-Team

His character in Taken

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] RQG@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Having God almighty on his list is pretty good.

Conan
T-800

Dee Bradley Baker - Every single Clone Trooper in Star Wars. Good luck, everyone.

[–] Enzyoo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 days ago

Clankas got no chance

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 64 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Arguably Keanu Reeves, between the time machine and being able to manipulate reality it'd be hard to stop him

[–] Snailpope@lemmy.world 44 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Don't forget the insane hit man skills of John Wick

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 47 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Honestly John Wick is pretty tame compared to Neo. When you don't have to be concerned with physics you can make guns do a lot

He was also Constantine

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The time travel bit would be nerfed because he would be Ted...

[–] XM34@feddit.org 47 points 3 days ago

I'd have to go with Morgan Freeman here. That man has literally been god. And he builds some pretty nice gadgets for Batman

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

And a regular-looking Cumberbatch in the back that keeps saying “pingwings.”

[–] 5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.org 52 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Ian McKellen:

-Death himself (Last Action Hero)

  • Gandalf
  • Magneto
  • Iorek Byrnison

Henry Cavill:
Superman, Sherlock Holmes, Geralt of Rivia, Wolverine.

[–] Mist101@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

~~Wolverine~~ Cavillrine

[–] No_Money_Just_Change@feddit.org 22 points 3 days ago

Makoto Furukawa

He voiced a hundred anime guys I don't know shit about and saitama from one punch man

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

Peter Cushing.

Has a Death Star, a TARDIS, and played both Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, so he could give himself whatever bullshit superpowers he wanted.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Famke Janssen

Jean Grey

Xenia Onatopp

Murie

Lenore Mills

Ava Moore

Olivia Godfrey

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Tilda Swinton. The Ancient One, The White Witch, the angel Gabriel, and... maybe Alithea from Three Thousand Years of Longing if she has her Djinn wishes.

[–] Contentedness@lemmy.nz 31 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Thanos, Cable, Gurney Halleck, Lt. Det. Christian "Bigfoot" Bjornsen.

My man Josh Brolin, of course!

[–] Contentedness@lemmy.nz 22 points 3 days ago

Honourable mention to Cate Blanchette with the unlikely team up of Hela, Galadrial, Bob Dylan and Blanche DuBois.

It's actually Christian Bale.

Best Detective (Batman movies)
Gunslinger (Equilibrium)
Wizard (Howl's Moving Castle) Dragonslayer (Reign of Fire)
Godkiller (Thor Love and Thunder)

Hmmm I seem to recall a lil dragon-slaying mishap that would serve to discredit the skills on that one lol

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

J. k Simmons: Omniman, Ketheric Thorm, Cave Johnson, and one day he’ll be rid of that menace Spider-Man! Maybe Santa will make that his Christmas present?

Odin, Van Helsing, Zorro, Richard Nixon, and Hannibal Lecter? - Anthony Hopkins

A pretty outrageous team IMO.

Edit: Or all the hectors from the HCU - Noel Albert Gugliemi is pretty entertaining

I'll take Tim Curry (minus the rapist, thx) or Alan Rickman, hands down.
