| Topic | Can Disney cut all their big namr actors and still succeed at Marvel films? |
| bigblu89 08/11/21 3:46:43 PM #31 | Raikuro posted... Chris Evans was relatively famous before MCU, had leading roles in several movies, though his career was definitely helped by it. And Brie Larson was rising fast before being announced as Captain Marvel.Was he though? A quick look at his IMDB, the only "Big" movies he was in prior to being Capt. America was Scott Pilgrim and, oddly enough, playing Johnny Storm/Human Torch in the two Fantastic Four movies. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |

Mostly everyone I know including myself has gotten into jobs and opportunities from knowing the right person.Every job I've ever had, all five of them, were because someone I know "got" me the job interview/offer. (High School) Worked at the same amusement park my older sister was working at. (High School) Worked at the Deli my sister's boyfriend was working at. (College) Worked at the bank branch my mom was the VP of the department. (Post College) Worked at the Publishing Company my best friend was working at. (Post College) Currently working at the Battery Sales and Distribution company that my Mother-In-Law was working at (she has since retired). Only job I was "given" was the one where my Mom worked there, but I wasn't just handed the job, I had the required qualifications for the job opening. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |

Don Cheadle, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard, and Gwyneth Paltrow?I was more talking about the actor/actress that was the "starring role" in the film. None of the movies they were in were movies where them being in it is what sold the movie. Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Brie Larson, etc. Those were established actors, but not necessarily the cream of the crop as far as box office appeal goes until they were a part of the MCU. Every single one of those roles could've been played by a virtual "no name" or fringe level star, and the movies would've been just as successful. I see it similar to Star Wars. Most of the actors in The Force awakens were fringe level stars or virtual unknowns. The Star Wars name is what sold the movie, just like the MCU umbrella is what sells those movies. People are going to see the story continue, not going because Chris Evans (for example) is in the movie. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |

Depending on where you live, you can sit it out by the curb and it will be gone within hours lolThat's basically what I do with stuff I don't feel like putting in the effort it takes to put it on OfferUp or FB Marketplace.

| bigblu89 08/11/21 1:47:04 PM #21 | lolife67 posted... I love the revisionist thinking that these actors didn't become "big namr" due to Marvel. If they did it several times before then they can do it again with new actors.Definitely this as well. Looking back, who was really a big star prior to being in the MCU other than ScarJo? Maybe you can say Robert Downey Jr? And even him, Iron Man resurrected his career, not kept his already bright star shining. It wasn't until they knew the MCU movies were guaranteed big box office that they started using big names in prominent roles like Cumberbatch in Dr. Strange. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |

WandaVison wasn't really filled with "big name" actors, at least not on the level that the other MCU movies are. If anything, their involvement in the MCU is what turned Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany in "big name actors". No one really says "Elizabeth Olsen? The lady from Wind River?". Those movies are so huge, they turn actors into "big name" actors, not the other way around. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |

You're literally ordering two different products. It's like taking a porterhouse, cutting it into strips, lathering them in BBQ sauce, and calling them "boneless beef spare ribs". --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |

Like someone said, some of that bacon can be used as fish bait, and if you're lucky you can supplement your diet with some seafood. Otherwise, the salt content of the bacon and the lack of fresh water (better hope this island is tropical and you get you fair share of rain), you're not going to last very long.

| Topic | Why do people say fast food workers dont _deserve_ a living wage? |
| bigblu89 08/09/21 9:16:18 AM #25 | It basically stems from "old think" that fast food is a job that teenagers have to make some pocket money while they're still in high school. The flaw in that is that it isn't the 1960's anymore, and many more adults are working in the fast food industry. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |
