Josh Brolin has more geek film experience than almost any other actor in Hollywood. Not only does he have major comic book characters on his resume, including Cable and Thanos, but he also has movies like Dune and Men In Black 3 on his resume. Obviously, the man is no stranger to culture. . . and yet he still finds it difficult when he goes to conventions and is asked unanswered questions.
Earlier this month, Brolin was a guest on The Graham Norton Show, included on a panel that included Cher, Michael Fassbender and Kiera Knightly, and there was a moment in the episode where he and Fassbender started talking about attending conventions of comics (the latter). , of course, well known for betting on Magneto in the X-Men movies). Although Brolin can be an intimidating presence on screen, betting villains like Thanos and tough guys like Gurney Halleck, he doesn’t know what to do when passionate fans ask him questions:
Have you ever been to a Comic-Con? It’s difficult. They are fanatics. They’re genuine fans, which is great. But then the fan will come and say in all seriousness, “Have you ever learned? I’m sorry to bother you, but have you ever learned that if you had the strength to kill part of the universe, you also had the strength to create?” Double the resources? And then you say, “Next!”
To be fair to Josh Brolin here: he’s not writing the material; He just plays it in front of the camera. In fact, this specific challenge to fans can’t even be redirected to Avengers: Infinity War/Avengers: Endgame writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, as they were simply adapting Thanos’ story from the written comics. via Jim Starlin in the early 1990s (although in this case, Thanos was partly motivated to kill off part of the universe due to his love for the personification of Death).
The story reminds me of the notorious comments made through Ben Affleck to director Michael Bay on the set of the sci-fi film Armageddon. The actor (who in a few years would have the name “Oscar-winning screenwriter” on his resume) wondered aloud if it wouldn’t be less difficult to teach astronauts to drill than it would be to learn about oil drillers for astronauts. In Affleck’s words, Bay told him to “shut up the damn mouth. “
Taken literally, I suppose Thanos’ resolution to eliminate some life in the universe rather than doubling the amount of resources is more a reflection of the character’s personality and his conceptual line on how life works. Because life will continue to grow and spread throughout the cosmos, any of the moves are impermanence responses anyway, which says a lot about the Mad Titan’s mentality that it believes mass death is the incredible option. I would say that this concept can lead to an engaging episode of What If. . . ?, however, this series will come to an end after season 3, with new adventures lately streaming daily for those with a Disney subscription. .
There’s another takeaway from this story: If you see Josh Brolin at a convention, don’t make his day more stressful by asking him questions you only ask to feel smart. Just let them know we appreciate their paintings and move on!
