Remember in the James Bond movie Die Another Day and how the main villain changed his DNA to look like someone else?
I think that is why Ross looks like Harrison Ford now and why Cassie looks different than in Endgame. They changed their DNA for unknown reasons.
This can also be used to explain other recastings in the future.
Also, why was my post about Daredevil removed? Thank you!
I mean the casting change from the adult version in Endgame.
Nah
The villain of DAD had a reason for changing his appearance: to infiltrate the society he wanted to destroy. It's just part of the story. There is no in-universe explanation for multiple actual recasts for characters (including Bond himself) in the pre-reboot Bond movies.
Why take a plot from a villain from another movie and apply it to any MCU character that was recast? It would be bizarre so many characters doing that.
What's the difference? Any actor change is unrealistic, even with timeskip. Child actors don't resemble the adult versions of their characters at all.
In real life, Abby Ryder Fortson (Cassie 1) will obviously not look like Emma Fuhrmann (Cassie 2) or Kathryn Newton (Cassie 3) when she is older. Different people.
The literal physical appearance of the characters isn't really relevant to canon. What we, the audience, are seeing is just a representation. In universe or canon, things can be different. That's why a recast or redesign doesn't matter.
Sometimes I have thought the same.
In a perfect world the same actor would play one character all the way.
Of course, this isn’t realistic, so I made it “one actor plays one character so unless the new actor is so similar to the old one (think Dumbledore), an explanation is needed”.
To me casting changes are plotholes (unless explained) and require solving. I understand some people do not feel the same way, but this is one idea to give me closure.
@Superbattleshipyamato Dumbledore? Except for the character's beard, the two actors are different. Different acting too. A recast is a recast, and if you think an explanation is needed, it's just inconsistent for you to be selective. Your theories could apply to everyone.
If I followed your logic, I would have to question about younger versions of MCU characters. Why doesn't Young Wanda Maximoff look like Young Elizabeth Olsen? It's just boring.
Even Christopher Nolan, "realism into superhero movies", didn't bother to explain why Rachel was played by another actress in TDK. Says a lot about the unimportant it is.
Casting changes are not plot holes because they are not part of the script, they are not on paper. We, the audience, see that it's being portrayed by a different person, but in the ficional reality nothing changed; they look the same to the characters. It is not difficult to use your imagination and understand that there was no in-universe change of face. To me it makes more sense than "characters randomly changing their DNA or something for unknown reasons". In some MCU tie-in comics, Tony Stark doesn't even look like RDJ and it doesn't matter; it's just a representation.
I specifically said it is a problem for me, not for you.
I don’t care about Dumbledore because I didn’t realise. That analysis is very subjective and exactly why I said these thoughts apply to me.
Forgot about the Dark Knight. Annoying, and that should be fixed.
I also said to me they are plotholes. They’re probably not.
Tony Stark doesn’t look like RDJ in the comics because it is a different universe.
And your solution (pretending there was no change) doesn’t work for me but probably for most.
This is also why I called my idea stupid.
As for younger characters, I would like the younger characters to look like how the actors actually looked when they were younger. To me, it is not as important, so I focus more on casting changes during the same age.
I hope you understand this is merely my point of view.
Yeah, it's cool for all of us to have different opinions.
@Superbattleshipyamato I don't think there's anything to be "fixed", but sorry for reminding you about TDK.
I think you misunderstood the Stark/RDJ thing. I was referring to comics tied to the MCU. Yep, those are in the same universe as the movies. Anyway, comics in general add something to this discussion. When a comic book changes the artist, the characters look different. Different styles and interpretations of characters. It is similar to ''recast'' and both do not affect continuity or story.
I understand it’s your point of view. Just because I disagree with you (and expressed my point of view with details) doesn't mean I don't understand it. That's okay. Maybe I overdid it with such long replies.
What do you think?
