This dude is one of the worst actors ever permitted to be in a motion picture. Why not give the role to Mads Mikkelsen? Or, like, anyone else?

Nah, he's good. I mean yea, he's no Mads but he's pretty good. I want a Man From U.N.C.L.E. sequel.

It's reasonable to know an actor only from his starring roles in billion dollar blockbusters, imo. If Cavill is a great actor outside of those movies that's a fun bit of trivia and not something you should get mad at somebody for not knowing

But surely you understand that the Snyder DC movies are quite divisive. And your opinion of Cavill's performance in them is probably going to be the same as your opinion of the movies overall.

Most people are going to know of Cavill from the Snyder Superman movies, and the Snyder Superman movies elicit strong reactions in both directions. So "Henry Cavill is a bad actor" is a reasonable take from a general person. It might be an ill-informed take, but it's not a take that deserves getting angry about, imo.

To be fair, the take was "one of the worst actors ever permitted to be in a motion picture" not just "is a bad actor". I think it's fine to have a strong counter to a strong declaration like that.

Why didn't they give this 35 year old man's stunt-filled heavy-action role to a 55 year old. What were they thinking.

When Mads Mikkelson was 35 he was just playing gangsters in track suits in Danish crime movies, the entire image of him as some impeccably-dressed dreamboat is only some weird internet meme that took off over the past few years.

HANNIBAL was an adored television show and most people's introduction to Mads. Him being pictured as such is not weird, to do with the internet, or a meme.

It's a great show but most people tend to be able to tell actors apart from the fictional characters they play whereas Fannibals seem to think that Mikkelsen is actually like that IRL when instead he's actually

Yeah, I don't get the appeal of Robert DeNiro either. I thought he was terrible in Meet the Fockers.
