For a cute white guy it's amazing how shitty his career has been.

I have an earnest/overthinking response to this, which is basically that I think he and a few other similar actors (like James Marsden) came up at a time when they were being asked to step into more anti-hero roles and leave the "leading man" parts for shlubby/nerdy guys because everyone was trying to be "different".

Obviously Chris Evans made a f*ckton of money as an Avenger, but he would've booked more (and more interesting) work if he'd been born a decade earlier.

I feel bad you said that about James lol he’s not an amaaaaaaaazing actor but he’s helluva better then Chris

[lipstickbitches]

No seriously. James as a Himbo in Sugar and Spice is my favorite performance of his

I'm not convinced this is true. A decade earlier saw the rise of a similarly handsome, generic white man by the name of Chris O'Donnell (who probably has more talent) and that career didn't really go anywhere. Avengers made Evans's career--he's just not talented enough to book more interesting work regardless of the decade.

If it wasn’t for the MCU he’d be absolutely nowhere and tbh it’s fitting for his talent.
Look at Christopher Abbott - talented and white but you’ll only catch him in an occasional indie. There are so many replaceable white guys it’s tough out there for all of them to get a chance u kno
