Naggers. I meant naggers!
Or worse... Richers.
For people unfamiliar with the source who don’t see the layers to this… that is Robert Downey Jr in blackface for Tropic Thunder.
honestly one of his best roles
It really was one of his greatest. Probably one of the only times blackface was acceptable, even with all the controversy around it.
It received generally positive reviews for its characters, story, faux trailers, and cast performances, with Downey Jr. being the most positively praised for his performance.
Downey was nominated for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, while both he and Cruise received nominations for a Golden Globe Award.
Up next, interviews with henchmen who were reportedly uncomfortable with their team and nicknames assigned by Thanos. "We did complain to Supergiant one time, but then... Well, she wasn't in the movies, was she?" said Proxima Midnight, who's given name is Natumbundra.
Dr Strange: ... time stone? ... ain't nobody got time for dat
Don't forget that they whitewashed Black Dwarf.
