    I understand it completely which is why I gave such a range of different characters and examples that normal people very much expect to have different mannerisms. People play different roles, Peter Dinklage plays nothing.

    Also I disagree that people in real life are dread and monotone. Each person still is unique when I talk to them.

    I’ll give an example more of what I’m talking about. Kristen Stewart, also often talked about for her more dialed back almost monotonous acting (although that seems to be changing more recently). Her role in Twilight still feels incredibly different from in Snow White and the Huntsman despite being on paper near identical characters personality wise.

    Liam-neeson, also often called monotone, but still manages to make Ras al-ghuul (spelling?) feel different from his character in Taken despite very similar performances.

    It’s also weird you used Hitler as an example, a man who is known for his charisma and exuding life and was able to give great passionate speeches. Kind of really weakened your point about monotone life.

      That’s a lot of words to say you don’t understand a role someone’s playing.

      All those different examples could have a dread monotone person in that position. This isn’t a hard concept to wrap your head around.

      Kristen Stewart gets plenty of shit for her acting, it’s almost like people (like you) want a particular type of character only being shown for every role, instead of realism. Not everyone is cheery, what a shocker, they need to show this sometimes.

      Kind of really weakened your point about monotone

      That wasn’t an example of monotone with Hitler… I was quite clear about what example that was lmfao. If you just ignore the context I provided, it just shows you’re not here to discuss in good faith, you just want people to listen to you bitch.

        You started your comment

        people in real life are dread and monotone

        That is the context under which the rest of your comment is viewed and quite relevant when we’ve been talking about monotone acting and people not being able to change their role for several comments.

        Kristen Stewart getting shit for her monotone acting and still being able to present different characters was literally the point there. Kristen Stewart with her bad monotone acting is still able to present two different characters. If you dropped Peter Dinklage in you wouldn’t get two different characters, you’d get Peter Dinklage twice. Like that was the entirety of my point and you’re just completely glossing over it.

        I’m beginning to think you’re just intentionally trolling and won’t be responding again. Ciao and have a nice day.
