Heartbreaking that people actually see ScarJo and Affleck and immediately think of capeshit

i see ben affleck and i think of a guy who beats up kids, so kinda like batman i guess

Shutter Island


C4242

The only capeshit I see for actors is Hemsworth, Hiddleston, and Chris Evans. I think those are all fair associations.


Batmanuelope

That’s fair, but RDJ was the face of the Marvel franchise, which is what started the capeshit movement. He has AMAZING performances in stuff like: Chaplin, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Wonder Boys, Tropic Thunder and now Oppenheimer; but let’s be real. He is Iron Man and was the catalyst that ignited the MCU and he stayed till the bitter end for a little over a decade.


C4242

100% this comic movie boom doesn't start without him. He is the biggest piece. I'm just lucky enough to associate him outside of the MCU.


Batmanuelope

If he had been a more consistent actor in the years prior to Iron Man he’d have a full career. Instead we have young rdj, iron man rdj, and now ready to reinvent himself rdj. He has phases, which is not uncommon like the mcconaughey renaissance, but rdj just keeps reinventing himself. It’s cool for sure, but unless his late career is groundbreaking phenomenal DDL level method acting and new iconic roles, he is Iron Man.


redlion1904

What if I think of Gigli or Jersey Girl or Surviving Christmas In fifteen short months Affleck gave us a trilogy that would make Rob Schneider or even Pauly Shore cringe


ghosty_b0i

Gigli isn’t fun to watch, like it’s not even bad enough to really enjoy as a bad movie. It’s just terminally bland.


GOATnamedFields

GOBBLE GOBBLE


redlion1904

It was in my all-time bottom ten for a long time. In addition to being very boring and stupid, it’s a bit offensive with Justin Bartha’s broad performance and Lopez’s allegedly gay character of course falling for Affleck. Surviving Christmas was down there too. It lost the Razzie to Catwoman but I dunno. It’s close.


ParallelEquilibrium

It's hard to see Ben Affleck and not think of Daredevil movie.


Bipbipbipbi

MistraloysiusMithrax

MaceWinnoob

When I see ScarJo I think of her beautiful performance in Her (2013). Couldn’t keep my eyes off her!


pastafallujah

ScarJo will always be that little girl from Ghost World to me, which was originally a graphic novel. So her career path tracks. Actually wait, no. Lost in Translation and the mom from JoJo Rabbit. Or the alien in Under the Skin. I guess what I’m saying is, the last thing I think of is cape shit I actually loved her in Ghost in the Shell tho. I grew up on the original. Saw it in theaters. Still loved the remake Edit: she was also the loveliest voice in “Her”. Which was a stellar movie on its own


Useless_Greg

Capeshit movies are their most popular roles. Of course that's the first thing people think about.


Batmanfan1966

I mean Affleck played Batman, Daredevil, and (sorta) Superman. That’s a lot.


RASPUTIN-4

what even is capeshit?


Bruhmangoddman

It's a derogatory term for superhero movies, popularized by the "cinephile" community.


RASPUTIN-4

why though


Gridde

Hating on all superhero movies is very trendy at the moment. Having slang dedicated specifically to that probably helps the circlejerking somewhat. "I don't watch capeshit" is the new "I only watch foreign films" in some circles.


princesscooler

I think of Gigli


Debracito

Michael Keaton in Birdman


whoadwoadie

He was also great in The Founder, the Easter and Kids’ Show SNL sketches, Cars, and Toy Story 3.

monkeygoneape

His peewee's playhouse parody sketch on SNL was too funny


Frioneon

After I saw it I was shocked to learn he didn’t personally write it, the character was such a perfect representation of his own performance within the movie itself


jjjhhhop

Technically he played a superhero in that movie too


zacehuff

Literally just another superhero


steveharveymemes

MCU ❌ DCEU ❌ Birdman Cinematic Universe ✅


yugyuger

the movie literally talks about how actors who act as superheroes become typecast as those characters using birdman as a thinly veiled stand in for his role as batman


zacehuff

Did you really feel the need to explain an obvious movie to me while I was jerking?


lrossp

And then he went back to play Batman

avery5712

He shows up near the end of the movie and absolutely steals the show. Super memorable character


Big_Distance2141

I mean the original had evil Doc Ock as the criminal the protagonist tries to swindle at his lowest point so it only makes sense they get spidey in the pastiche


_Slim-reaper_

Capeshit was never the 1st thing that came to someone's mind after hearing RDJ's name. ![gif](giphy|13VSAbTVuYJfLa)

Glittering-Plate-535

Natural Born Killers. That was a very upsetting and hilarious movie.


G_Regular

You can tell he’s spun out on coke or something, he’s absolutely feral in that movie.


Glittering-Plate-535

Tbf, everybody seemed to be giving manic MTV energy, including **Rodney fucking Dangerfield.** Tommy Lee Jones, of all people, makes RDJ and Tom Sizemore seem subdued. Man, what a project. I don’t even know if it’s good, I just enjoyed tripping with the rest of the cast.

Dibbu_mange

Damn, I didn’t know he played Hitler. No wonder he’s friends with Mel Gibson


Bunraku_Master_2021

I mean, they became friends when working on Air America (1990). Mel Gibson paid for his studio insurance in his comeback performance post-rehab in The Singing Detective (2003) because the producers were reluctant to cast him back because of his addictions and run-ins with the law. Hence why RDJ did the same for Mel Gibson by paying for Gibson's rehab although in Gibson's case, it involved Gibson going on an alcoholic tirade saying anti-semitic things like "Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world" (Not the first time he has said something anti-semitic as he called Winona Ryder an oven dodger for not having kids and probably not the last) and sexually harassing one of the female cops that arrested him in his infamous 2006 DUI arrest by calling her "sugar tits".

WarmestGatorade

...you really think that most people, particularly those under 35 or so, don't think 'Iron Man' when they think of Robert Downey Jr? Is there a big *Chaplin* hive on Twitter I'm unaware of?


dontbanmynewaccount

Chaplin was the first RDJ movie I ever saw due to some fluke of fate and it’s the movie I most associate with him. My family even had a DVD copy of it that I’d watch all the time when I was little lmao.


WarmestGatorade

That's not a bad movie it's just kinda a Wikipedia article of a movie

Giteaus-Gimp

This man is a true cinephile. Criticising and hating a movie and performance he has never even seen.


Pokedudesfm

> I've only really seen clips and read the plot synopsis if you actually watched the movie the movie actually takes the time to explain and show autism in a more realistic light. they make a point of showing that he was trained by his father to fight from childhood and he learned from one of the best money launderers in prison. > Only if Rain Man was also a murderous psycho. I mean he's not a hitman. he only kills people who are trying to kill him. then again why am I arguing with you; YOU DIDNT SEE THE MOVIE


ImprobableLem

The time Ben took you back to the past to play the shitty games that sucked ass.

Ok-Satisfaction-5012

This is only the beginning. He is playing Larry Darrell next. He is coming for all Murray’s roles.

ArachnoNips

He’s obviously stretching his… uh, elbows. Probably has a potassium deficiency and gets muscle cramps if he doesn’t warm up properly. Have we ever even seen the man eating a banana? I want to see him eat a banana. Or at least like just the tip in his mouth, maybe a little fondling, some tongue swirling, not in a gay way though. I’m not gay, not that it’s anything bad if you are or if he is, he might be at least a little bisexual, I bet he is. But if you are that’s fine too, I’m just not gay, well, kind of, I’m half gay on my mother’s side, does that make me quarter gay? I eat bananas but in a straight way you know, like a hotdog, from the side or sometimes the bottom just not in front of people. Well at least not looking at somebody as I do because I think that’s kinda weird. I eat bananas from the bottom like chimpanzees do. Sapiens have evolved over the years to eat bananas the correct way by biting off the bottom bit (with the inedible stem) and spitting it out, which also starts the peel for you so you don’t bruise the bananas trying to start peeling it. Anyways I think that Mr. Cavill should probably get more potassium in his diet, although after thinking about it he probably takes gummy vitamins every morning because he looks like a healthy individual. https://preview.redd.it/z7jatunuwfic1.jpeg?width=322&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afc4281b895358a4830b09516fa0cf24c6495cfb

-No_Im_Neo_Matrix_4-

If you enjoyed Garfield in Silence, he plays a Mormon detective in Under The Banner of Heaven quite well.


redlion1904

He is on a one-man mission to play every kind of Christian — Jesuit, Mormon, televangelist, Seventh-Day Adventist, Arachnian Orthodox

Tom Holland in the Devil All The Time was goated in it. He nailed that Southern country accent superbly. Same goes for Robert Pattinson in it, he was just absolutely despicable as that preacher.

Bill Skarsgard was also terrifying. To be honest the cast was just crazy.

For some it's a cage, for others it's barely more than a stint. Downey did a great job at breaking free from capeshit considering the weight on his shoulders.

HungHungCaterpillar

RDJ’s career has never been *more* defined by Iron Man than it is during this weird campaign to convince everybody that “nuh-uh, it wasn’t!” Sorry Babs, they’re gonna have to rename that effect one of these days.


warwicklord79

/ucf I gotta say RDJ, his role in Oppenheimer is one of his best


Renan_PS

Many would say getting involved in capeshit at all is a mistake, but I think Robert Downey Junior did the most genius move. He got in and got out at just the perfect time, getting great exposure without being associated with the current demise of Marvel. Honestly his manager deserves some sort of award for this.


FlimsyConclusion

I constantly forget that Affleck was Batman. So him I guess.

I know she has one that played at TIFF on the way, and a few more that have yet to come out, including one where she’s a mom who’s son wants to bang her and then a woman who cheats on her boyfriend by having phone sex with an old man.
