Kids get bullied because of their facial disfigurements. Should studios stop with the trope?

Safin's face is covered with scars, continuing a long-time trend of Bond's greatest on-screen adversaries having facial differences. https://www.npr.org/2021/10/20/1047591067/from-scar-to-james-bond-enemy-safin-movie-villains-have-long-shared-a-harmful-tr --- Sig User Logic https://imgur.com/lA5fm7w ...

Yeah it's probably not good that deformity is used as a visual tell for villainy

Its a really lazy and outdated trope of figuring physical deformity as a representation of moral deformity

It would be more interesting if more heroes were facially disfigured too, but studios should be able to choose for themselves what they want for their movie.

Honestly if someone became ugly and nobody wanted to interact with them and couldn't find love they probably would want to fuck over society.

They try this all the time... then the villains lose & get battle damaged & come back all over again & the heroes get the Lazarus pit & are restored to perfect health & were all the way back at square one again. Oh man what really stood out was the end where he was all blown half to pieces and they make a whole movie about it.

I highly doubt doing that will magically stop the weird looks, whispers and name calling. You wouldn't have specifics like Two Face or Scarface or whatever, but I don't see it going past that.

Every villain should be a cis gender white male, or else the story is promoting dangerous homophobic/sexist/racist tropes about whatever victim class their villain belongs to. It is the only way for us to be safe.

Sure, it can have a place in a story, but it's often just a lazy trope that should die. --- Many Bothans died to bring you this post. ... Copied to Clipboard!
