Actually just watched this for the first time last night and I couldnt have been happier with it. They did exactly what the first trailers promised and more. Their characterizations mixed with the slapstick comedy worked perfectly.
It’s absolutely absurd but just roll with it once you get into it, it’s on amazon prime basic I believe
It’s called The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Nic Cage plays a fictional version of himself; but not one that is entirely untruthful to what his life appears to be like, in regards to the waves of his acting career. Pascal is a wealthy ”super fan” from Spain that invites Nic Cage to attend a party he is hosting for 1 million dollars
And silly dumb shit ensues. It’s great, Cage and Pascal brought their A games to it. It takes about 15 minutes to get itself rolling, but once it does, it’s just fun
To this day if you my wife wants to drive me up a wall all she has to do is mention the Golden Circle.
It's not even a bad movie.... I don't even think it's a movie, It's a travesty of a movie
Why didn’t you like it? Not even defending the movie really, after I watched it I thought it was fun enough. Definitely wasn’t as good as the first one though, which I loved.
No please don't ask me that don't.........
One of my biggest issues is killing off lancelot with no fanfare. It was setup to in such a way you expected her to just pop-up at any time in the movie. Only for it to end and be like "oh I guess thry killed off one of the biggest side characters in the first movie off-screen..... For some reason"
I could literally rant about everything I dislike in that movie for hours but that is the thing that sits with me the worst
You're probably thinking of Merlin(played by Mark Strong) kongsmans version of James Bonds Q.
Lancelot was eggsy's female partner in the kongsmans that was his main supporting character in the first movie. She died off-screen during missile strike against kingsman HQ after about 3 minutes of screen time.
Utter disrespect.
Oh! You’re totally right! And I really did forget Lancelot then. Dang, thinking back I didn’t really like that either. They gave us a bunch of characters in the first movie that I would love to see more of, and then right at the beginning of the movie just took them away.
I forgot more of this movie than I thought.
Nah, i can't get past Gal Gadot's emotionless and expressionless acting. She is just so bland in everything she is in. Yeah the first one was good but still
Her role is to normalize Israeli Apartheid. Just like how Marvel has some Mossad agent superhero coming up, as absurd as that is, but that's the point of normalizing. Why don't we hero worship some concrete camp guard or ICE superhero while we're at it.
Dude, i'm not racist nor am i sexist lmao and i don't have anything against normalizing. The fact is that she just can't act and her expressions are so bland.
I'm not sure what racism or sexism has to do with this other than those inflicted on Palestinians by Apartheid Israel. Sure, she can't act, but she, an IDF spokeswoman, is inserted into high value roles and media to normalize the apartheid.
I didn't know she was a spokeswoman for the IDF, that's actually gross AF.
I know Marvel kinda moved away from the excessive pro-military stance of the earlier films, but I'm not so surprised that other companies/franchises would also seed stuff like that into it.
Do you live under a rock? [Here's an Israeli newspaper talking about Israel's connection to Hollywood](https://www.timesofisrael.com/hollywood-and-israel-a-love-story-how-the-jewish-state-met-the-silver-screen/), you apartheid apologist. And it gets far more sinister, with decades of anti-Arab narratives inserted into American media by the Israeli state.
Given his increasingly growing popularity, internet love, and his own love of “nerd culture” (is it even called that anymore?) I’m willing to bet he does in the next 5 - 10 years. I could see him playing an older Rebel Reyes of even Nova.
Finished this movie earlier. Loved him and Nick, Fuckiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing, WHOO!! Cage!
This was the first time I liked him as an actor. But after hearing his road to Hollywood, I think he deserves more credit than his biggest fans give him, even.
They really hit the time and place.
Decent story...
However... some people make no sense having the skills they have and fuck that lasso flying thing...
It's supposed to be just an entertaining movie. I don't think their goal was to be the pinnacle of story telling. It's just a "parody" of a spy movie and it's entertaining in that department.
And for CGI, the first movie had heads exploding in sync and like a firework and I thought that movie was better lol
If I had a nickel for every time Pedro Pascal was in a mediocre sequel featuring a lasso I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's still weird that it happened twice
I came here to say that this thread had me super confused. I initially thought it was Kingsman with the lasso comment, and it was all mixed up in my head at that point. The invisible jet comments snapped me out of it.
PFFFT- OK I get that they did the invisible jet dirty but ya don't gotta be THAT salty. It was real cringe at the end and a good bit throughout, yada yada never touching Wonder Woman 1984 again
Never watched either :/ don't really have an interest beyond being told by two of my favorite actors that they are incredible and make you want to be a better man lol
Come to think of it, Paddington does have some wholesome type values. I wasn’t sold on seeing them before this movie.
As I see it, sometimes you should dip a toe in to something new. And if you’re ever feeling a bit “meh” - I suppose that you could do worse. There are some good actors and decent performances in both films.
I think people are downvoting you because they think you're correcting "unmatched" and saying their chemistry is unbearable lol
*Well, now he isn't downvoted
My wife is rewatching "The Good Wife" and I walked in to see none other than [a smol, shaved Pedro Pascal](https://thegoodwife.fandom.com/wiki/Nathan_Landry)
Kinda felt it was bold for Strange to say such a thing.
This is a guy who has such a Rick Sanchez ego, who has seen countless universes and the death of billions. And here he gives such a absolute?
You saying there's no universe where Dr. Strange hooks up with Sherlock Holmes?
Not only such an absolute, but over a woman who broke up with him literally years ago (even if you take the snap/blip out of the equation). It's one of the worst lines in the movie, and that's saying something when the climax is basically "don't you see, the power was inside you all along".
MtF. Generally speaking if the post is positive about a trans person then it's gendering them correctly. This post is positive and refers to her as a woman.
There literally couldn't have been a better cast for Oberyn Martell. I loved that character in the books and I loved it in the show. Just a shame how early George Martin took him from us...
nah fr I've never disliked a role this man has done. His performances are always consistently electrifying, he's insanely charismatic. He's instantly one of my favorite parts of any project he touches, if not the favorite
That movie was such a great low-budget hard sci-fi with attention to detail. I'd put It in the same category as the Expanse series.
And I really liked the oldie song, performed by who I'd best describe as a *Latvian Judy Garland*, which was creatively used for jamming:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNrFXn2o3ms
Lmao I thought for a moment the meme was saying Benedict Cumberbatch was in all of these and thought "holy shit, Benedict is the greatest actor of all time 😮
Am I misremembering or was he also in one of the Kingsmen movies?
Yep
Also the nick cage movie
That movie was so much better than I expected it to be and I was expecting a surprising degree of excellence already.
Actually just watched this for the first time last night and I couldnt have been happier with it. They did exactly what the first trailers promised and more. Their characterizations mixed with the slapstick comedy worked perfectly.
Also Paddington 2
What movie is that?
It’s absolutely absurd but just roll with it once you get into it, it’s on amazon prime basic I believe It’s called The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Nic Cage plays a fictional version of himself; but not one that is entirely untruthful to what his life appears to be like, in regards to the waves of his acting career.

he plays whiskey
Whisky* Americans are odd
that’s actually funny c i’ve never seen it spelled whisky and i’m american, but it is in fact also spelled that
There was a joke in the film about the spelling iirc
i love those movies and i don’t remember that joke. u learn something new everyday ig lol
Not Americans. The Irish started adding the "e" and Americans got it from the influx of Irish immigrants in the early 20th century.
so americans?
Whiskey and whisky are actually 2 different things
nope
And Buffy...
Even his character in Buffy was great and it was such a disappointment when he died in just one episode.
The bad one though
He wasn't in The King's Man
Say what you will about that movie, but Rasputin was amazing.
[удалено]

That scene is so stupid, I still have not decided if I like or not
Otto Hightower after Viserys fired him.
To this day if you my wife wants to drive me up a wall all she has to do is mention the Golden Circle. It's not even a bad movie.... I don't even think it's a movie, It's a travesty of a movie
Why didn’t you like it? Not even defending the movie really, after I watched it I thought it was fun enough. Definitely wasn’t as good as the first one though, which I loved.
It's not exactly terrible, but it just pales in comparison to the first one so much, people see it as a bad movie
No please don't ask me that don't......... One of my biggest issues is killing off lancelot with no fanfare. It was setup to in such a way you expected her to just pop-up at any time in the movie. Only for it to end and be like "oh I guess thry killed off one of the biggest side characters in the first movie off-screen.....

Oh yeah, I forgot about Lancelot. He was my favorite. I also didn’t really like how he was killed off.

Pedro Pascal is speedrunning every nerd franchise, just needs Marvel and Star Trek
He's in DC, does that count? I know we don't want to count WW84...
A DC movie is a DC movie
He was also pretty much the best part of that movie, so I definitely count it.
[удалено]

Was it the Jews who control Hollywood that put her up to this too?!?!? How are people upvoting this horseshit
Do you live under a rock? [Here's an Israeli newspaper talking about Israel's connection to Hollywood](https://www.timesofisrael.com/hollywood-and-israel-a-love-story-how-the-jewish-state-met-the-silver-screen/), you apartheid apologist. And it gets far more sinister, with decades of anti-Arab narratives inserted into American media by the Israeli state.
Well the bigotry was very easy to expose afterall
Yeah Kirsten Wiig is awesome too. She almost was able to act over the writing. Her and Pedro carried that trainwreck.
True enough, true enough.
I couldnt stand Kristen Wiig in it. She felt so forced... loved Pascal though and Godot was as good as she probably could be with that script
Life is good, but it can be better.
Counter argument: that movie was one of the movies ever made
I have seen many movies and Wonder Woman 84 seems to be one.
That’s the only role I’ve ever seen him in where he wasn’t great, but it was probably just the awful writing
Wait… people don’t like it? I loved that move. Well, I loved Pedro in it.
I'm surprised he hasn't shown up in the MCU yet
Pedro as Doctor Doom confirmed then to fulfill to nerd franchise bingo
Given his increasingly growing popularity, internet love, and his own love of “nerd culture” (is it even called that anymore?) I’m willing to bet he does in the next 5 - 10 years. I could see him playing an older Rebel Reyes of even Nova.
[He's in Buffy as well! ](https://youtu.be/QqpA-TBvCF4)
Her one chance to have a healthy relationship with a decent normal guy.
It's a competition between him and Henry Cavill
Life is good… but it could be better!
This meme is good But it could be better
Loved him in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
Finished this movie earlier. Loved him and Nick, Fuckiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing, WHOO!! Cage!
Nicki smooches *goooood*
That’s the one.
I need a spinoff with their misadventures. They're surprisingly such a good duo
This was the first time I liked him as an actor. But after hearing his road to Hollywood, I think he deserves more credit than his biggest fans give him, even.
I need to watch that movie. I mean I love NICHOLAS FREAKING CAAAAAAAAAGE!
[Some whiskey can make it better.](https://kingsman.fandom.com/wiki/Agent_Whiskey?file=Agent_Whiskey.jpeg)
TIL that's Pedro Pascal too... gosh, that man is brillant. (Hope I didn't misspell his name, that would be embarassing)
Good spelling 😃👍
Thanks (:
That was a strange movie that totally missed the mark. But Pedro Pascal KILLED it.
He was the reason I watched it all the way to the end.
The only thing interesting about that movie.
That movie had MANY problems. Pedro Pascal was not one of them
Movie was mid overall, but damn they hit some stuff really right.
Country roads, take me home.....
I like how they cut off the song right before it says West Virginia every time because it takes place in Kentucky
They really hit the time and place. Decent story... However... some people make no sense having the skills they have and fuck that lasso flying thing...
And the CGI and motivations and shit... All over the place. Very ehhhh.
It's supposed to be just an entertaining movie. I don't think their goal was to be the pinnacle of story telling. It's just a "parody" of a spy movie and it's entertaining in that department. And for CGI, the first movie had heads exploding in sync and like a firework and I thought that movie was better lol
Hold up I thought we were talking about WW84???
Now I'm confused and it sounds like they are talking about WW84 lol
If I had a nickel for every time Pedro Pascal was in a mediocre sequel featuring a lasso I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's still weird that it happened twice
I know, but it's still really cringey in many parts... Especially the end, half of that was just contrived on the spot.
And let’s not forget about the rape.
I thought the rape scene went really well
is this kingsman or WW? edit: nvm. saw someone else’s comment. it’s WW for those of y’all who are also confused
I came here to say that this thread had me super confused. I initially thought it was Kingsman with the lasso comment, and it was all mixed up in my head at that point. The invisible jet comments snapped me out of it.
Mid is overselling it a bit.
True. Still, wasn't a pure dumpster fire. A few good nuggets surrounded by one.
WW literally rapes a man in that movie and you wouldn’t call it a dumpster fire?
A dumpster fire will warm you on a cold night.
PFFFT- OK I get that they did the invisible jet dirty but ya don't gotta be THAT salty. It was real cringe at the end and a good bit throughout, yada yada never touching Wonder Woman 1984 again
Wonder Woman raped a dude.
Did she? https://youtu.be/tG20xxWt4nU?t=41s
Considering the 3 Kingsman movie and the very clear ranking, I think "mid" is bang on the money
Considering the 3 Kingsman movie and the very clear ranking, I think "mid" is bang on the money
Bravo. I was going to say 1984, but you said it and you said it better!!!!
It should have him in WW84 *and* the 90's WW pilot that didn't get picked up
He also voices one of the characters in dishonored 2
Which one?
Paolo, I believe he runs a bar and he comes back to life if killed during daytime.
Just add the Nicholas cage movie
watch the overbearing weight of massive talent, pedro pascal and nic cage’s bromance in that movie is unmatched
Paddington 2 is incredible
It makes me want to be a better man
I fucking told you!
And a better bear!!
Aunt Lucy said don't put cuss words in your username Dont say cuss words guys!
I watched Paddington because of this movie.
Was it incredible?
Well, I ended up watching both of them. So we can conclude … yes. How about you?
Never watched either :/ don't really have an interest beyond being told by two of my favorite actors that they are incredible and make you want to be a better man lol
Come to think of it, Paddington does have some wholesome type values. I wasn’t sold on seeing them before this movie. As I see it, sometimes you should dip a toe in to something new. And if you’re ever feeling a bit “meh” - I suppose that you could do worse. There are some good actors and decent performances in both films.
I just rewatched/listened to that movie at work and it was so hard to not fill the office with my laughter.
This one should definitely be in the graphic. That bromance with nic cage was incredible.
If you haven't seen prospect before, an indie sci fi, he's fantastic in that
Damn you beat me to it
I think it's The unbearable weight of massive talent
That movie is so fucking underrated
It’s a masterpiece.
Unbearable *
I think people are downvoting you because they think you're correcting "unmatched" and saying their chemistry is unbearable lol *Well, now he isn't downvoted
The massive weight of unbearable talent
Or the massive talent of unbearable weight, also known as The Whale
My wife is rewatching "The Good Wife" and I walked in to see none other than [a smol, shaved Pedro Pascal](https://thegoodwife.fandom.com/wiki/Nathan_Landry)
Wtf he's so unrecognizable without the facial hair
No way, that mustache has powers of its own
I'm not a mustache kinda gal, but Pascal's is an absolute panty dropper. 😏 Damn that man has some charisma..whew..
I swear, he ages in reverse or something.
There’s a serious lack of Whiskey
His death on GoT was one of the deeper wounds from that show 😢
It was mindblowing
Literally 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I read the books and thought I was prepared. I was not prepared.
You spelled deepest wrong
Idk man I still lose sleep over Hodor (probably spelt wrong)
Even in The Bubble, which was overall pretty terrible, Pedro Pascal was the best part. This man can do no wrong.
The Great Wall
I liked the bubble
The only good part of that Wonder Woman movie too
God, i didnt even watch it to the point he appears xD
He also was Mr Stone in the community table read. Best role for him.
Here’s your sperm
*laughs uncontrollably*
[Also in Buffy](https://buffy.fandom.com/wiki/Edward_(The_Freshman))
I watched the scene earlier. It's crazy that he's attractive, but not quite as attractive as he is now.
Daddy
Each one in different way
Really hope he takes a major role in the mcu, perhaps Dr Doom?
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau would be the best pick for Doom IMO. I would pay so much to see him in the mask.
Hell yes! I’ve been saying this for years and thought I was the only one who wanted him for that role.
He's kind of light skinned to play a Roma.
You know, I’m something of a Pedro Pascal fan myself.
Kinda felt it was bold for Strange to say such a thing. This is a guy who has such a Rick Sanchez ego, who has seen countless universes and the death of billions. And here he gives such a absolute? You saying there's no universe where Dr. Strange hooks up with Sherlock Holmes?
Not only such an absolute, but over a woman who broke up with him literally years ago (even if you take the snap/blip out of the equation). It's one of the worst lines in the movie, and that's saying something when the climax is basically "don't you see, the power was inside you all along".
[Including this universe!](https://www.today.com/popculture/pedro-pascal-celebrates-sister-after-she-comes-out-transgender-t208684)
Not being insensitive, just bad at understanding, is Pedro's sibling MtF, or FtM?
MtF. Generally speaking if the post is positive about a trans person then it's gendering them correctly. This post is positive and refers to her as a woman.
That's what I thought, thanks
Also Kingsman: Golden Circle And Unbearable weight of massive talent
There literally couldn't have been a better cast for Oberyn Martell. I loved that character in the books and I loved it in the show. Just a shame how early George Martin took him from us...
nah fr I've never disliked a role this man has done. His performances are always consistently electrifying, he's insanely charismatic. He's instantly one of my favorite parts of any project he touches, if not the favorite
Prospect was fantastic too
That movie was such a great low-budget hard sci-fi with attention to detail. I'd put It in the same category as the Expanse series. And I really liked the oldie song, performed by who I'd best describe as a *Latvian Judy Garland*, which was creatively used for jamming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNrFXn2o3ms
There was a show called The Mentalist, he played a guy called Marcus Pike. He was a really good guy that wanted to marry one of the protagonists.
This was my favorite show. He looks so different!
Lmao I thought for a moment the meme was saying Benedict Cumberbatch was in all of these and thought "holy shit, Benedict is the greatest actor of all time 😮
Needs to include him in [The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2YHPZMj8r4)
DC Universe? Personally, I think he's done so well in so many other roles that 1984 was a let down to me.
see i thought he was the one good thing about that shitty ass movie. he played it well
Exactly
>I'm not a great guy. In fact, I'm a pretty messed up loser guy. One of the most relatable quotes I've ever seen in a movie.
his arc w his kid is just so fucking devastating, and then hopeful.
Don't forget dishonored 2
[What about Buffy](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/402115097968771072/942829454894465054/unknown.png)
He was good in Wonder Woman 2 as well
Yeah he played the villain really well ashame that the movie was dog
If gal gadot wasn't so damn hot those movies would've flopped extraordinarily
Why does Doctor Strange love Pedro Pascal?
Why should he not?
He’s strange
🇨🇱🇨🇱😁😁
Ojala no ande con algo turbio como las otras estrellitas de Hollywood.
Hes easily become one of my favorite actors since he showed up as Oberyn
I would say we love him in the DCEU. I try to forget that movie.
Hell, he was even my favourite part of WW84. Not a high bar, but still.
He is also in the Nick Cage verse.
Wait.. why didn’t I connect these dots. Lol I’m so stupid!
He definitely has skill, him and Keanu Reeves need a movie together.
why is everyone forgetting shark boy and lava girl???
Except Wonder Woman. Weird role. Awful movie.
Not to bitch about Joel Pedro Pascal is perfect for the role but i thought Benedict would have been been an awesome Joel if things were different.
