    Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, although after seeing clips of her performing in non-MCU stuff I will die on the hill that those performances were bad mostly due to poor directing

    Jim Carrey in “The Number 23”. It was a rare serious role for him where he was supposed to be this sort of noir edgy tough guy. The more serious he got the more comical the whole thing seemed lol

      I thought the story itself was great but Jim Carrey might have been the wrong actor for the role.

      He’s honestly a really good actor but his freak out is always more cartoonish and this movie called for a non cartoonish series of freak outs.

    Vanilla ice in Cool as Ice…Am I suppose to like this guy? He seems like a complete jerk. Sly Stallone in Cobra is hilariously over the top trying to be cool. Joe Piscopo in Dead Heat. Diceman in The adventures of Ford fairlane. Love some Chuck Norris/ Steven Segal movies but they often make the characters less cool. Hallie Berry in a lot of movies: X-men as Storm (who is a f.ing goddess and awesome character!) Catwoman, John wick 3, die another day, etc. George Clooney in From Dusk till dawn. Cage in Drive Angry. Too many Video game / comic book movies to mention.

    I can’t think of a specific example. But this is gonna be something from a lame action movie where the protagonist is a ‘total badass’ but the script is so shit it simply doesn’t land.

    Most of the Taylor Sheridan shows and movies. I don’t know if he writes the dialogs, but there is a lot of cringe lines and scenes.
