Well I know where I'm not watching it 🦜🏴‍☠️

For real, why not in a movie theater near me?

Another beloved franchise sure to be destroyed by a big streaming service

Michelle Yeoh is up there with Pedro Pascal for great actors that are over exposed.

One of the things I loved about The Expanse,The Boys, Tales from the Loop and other Prime shows was there wasn't a single A list actor.

The Boys had Karl Urban, and I think that show has made Jack Quaid a star. They’re definitely A-listers now if they weren’t already.

Michelle Yeoh and Pedro Pascal are what I would call superstars. And I agree, they’re either overplayed or taking too many bad gigs. The former applying more to Pascal and the latter applying more to Yeoh.

More like B+ sters.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

agreed about Pascal. he’s great but he’s in fucking everything.

The Expanse had Shohreh. The Boys had Karl Urban.

I would consider both of them to be A list even before those two shows.

Shohreh didn't have a single lead role in a movie or TV show beforehand. She wasn't even B list at the time of Expanse despite a long successful career. Karl Urban is B. He had Dread 15 years earlier where his face was covered. Trek was supporting. Thor was a minor role.

The A, B, unknown tiers have nothing to do with the actors ability but their current popularity to get viewers to watch what they are in.

How'd they manage to get it 73 years early?

Hopefully Michelle Yeoh is not going to take over character traits from her Star Trek acting.

[–] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

Her character is specifically from the evil alternate reality lol, she's supposed to be cheesy 🧀

Instead of watching this I would recommend the 90s show Total Recall 2070:

It's not that well know and it's a great cyberpunk show.
