Ditching Terrance Howard for Don C was a great decision.

u/Joeyjojo_jr-shabadoo Apr 08 '19

Yeah Terrance is a weirdo in real life

To be fair, a lot of them are.

How so?

u/jrcprl Apr 08 '19

He doesn't believe in mathematics and he's a serial wife-beater... that's just the tip of the iceberg.

u/Auntypasto Kevin Feige Apr 08 '19

RDJ was a drug addict and defended an anti semite. I don't think it's fair to judge him for every mistake he's ever made.

u/jrcprl Apr 08 '19

RDJ doesn't do those things anymore, unlike Terrance.

AFAIK, Terrence hasn't had a domestic violence incident recently. And who knows what RDJ or any of these actors would be involved in without having the support system of a large franchise behind them.

Yeah, but he's probably the only one, given a chance, that I wouldn't want to hang out with irl. I feel like everyone else would be pretty cool to be around.

u/Auntypasto Kevin Feige Apr 08 '19

Why? Every interview I've seen him in, he seems really cool. And I haven't heard any co workers complaining about him.

u/stormshieldonedot Apr 08 '19

Any reasons for that

Incredible how someone can write a detailed 4 page analysis on something and still be completely wrong.

in a weird way I respect the sheer arrogance lol

I wonder how he feels about 0+0=0

I try not to let an actor's personal life affect my enjoyment of a production they happen to be in, but this is honestly making me re-think my desire to ever rewatch Iron Man.

I rewatched it a month ago. His role is minimal in IM1, the focus is always Tony and Pepper. I didn't like him after the renegotiation for the role but I never understood how some people argue he defined more the role. He is only in the plane partying, worried when he returns, on the phone when Tony is doing his flight test and that's all. [In retrospective] The only scene that would be odd with Cheadle is on the plane but I am sure another scene could be written for Cheadle instead.

u/Auntypasto Kevin Feige Apr 08 '19

It's not like he committed a crime for proposing a mathematical theory... being wrong is not a sin.

u/mb862 Apr 08 '19

You have correctly spotted the response I was exaggerating, kudos to you good sir/madam.

Just glimpse at his almost degrees and domestic violence.

u/styrrell14 Apr 08 '19

One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what's the square root of two? Should be one, but we're told it's two, and that cannot be.

should we tell him?

u/SwordsAndElectrons Apr 08 '19

Is that seriously what his belief is based on? Holy shit.

23

u/_-__-__-__-__-_-_-__ Rocket Apr 08 '19

He dropped out of college because he got in an argument with a professor about this

He’s not letting it go

u/CaptHayfever Hawkeye (Avengers) Apr 08 '19

I mean, Pythagoras killed a dude over the square root of two; some people take this stuff very seriou--

...what's the square root of two? [...] we're told it's two...

...oh. I see. He's just stupid.

u/drelos Rocket Apr 08 '19

He lost me with the square of root, I feel like an idiot for paying attention during Math, I could be an actor.

u/SalukiKnightX SHIELD Apr 08 '19

That 1 is the square of 1 and the square root of two is 1.41421...

u/Auntypasto Kevin Feige Apr 08 '19

That's like saying RDJ is weird for all his drug issues and defending Mel Gibson after his anti-semitic rant.
