Do you think a *new* 5'8" movie hero is possible in the current era?

I was reading about how Luke Skywalker, the main hero in Star Wars Episode IV (i.e., the original movie) is only 5'8"!


Of course, the taller, bad-boyish Han Solo got the gal - and that gal turned out to be Luke's sister!

And yes, Tom Cruise can still be an (aging) hero, but he became an established hero in an earlier, less-heightist era.

Created by incels who have nothing to offer except their insufficient appearance.

Get a grip and refocus your attention on something worthwhile.

On screen it's never obvious how tall someone is.

Dababy ( rapper) is also a small dude. Yet I've heard many black women saying they want a man like him...( i geuss including status :D :D :D )

Again, a former homeboy is like 2 meters tall and yet the biggest biatch I've known. His height/appearance got him like 2 women in the last 25 years hahahaha

I often forget how many jews are actors in Hollywood. They did not lie about it being a jewish industry.

Always replace the inches on your measuring stick with confidence.

If the movie is shot first, think later type like the last fast and furious it's very unlikely that you will find a "hero" that doesnt reach a certain threeshold in terms of height and muscular frame.

If you consider instead teen movies, it's more likely given that a pretty face and clean look is more important.

Regarding tom cruise he has an amazing asset which is looking youngish despite being it clear that he is an adult man.
He wouldnt be doing all those mission impossible movies if he was bald or with a crappy hairline given his average frame.

They film the scenes to purposely not make these manlets look small. I don’t really get your point OP? Tom Cruise likely an industry plant Ashkenazi knob gobbling blood drinking eyes wide shut member. Went to new York at 18 to become an actor couple years later has a meteoric rise and the rest is history. He was discovered by a talent manager when he was in a high school musical. The manager said “he couldn’t sing, he couldn’t dance, and I decided to sign him immediately.”

Hollywood isn’t reality, reality is barely reality anymore. Stop watching TV and mainstream media immediately.

Add Tom Hardy, Ice Cube, and Kanye West to the list of not-especially-tall men who've nonetheless achieved stardom. Whatever one thinks of their work on a personal level

That scene with the strange language (Latin?) followed by the orgy was pretty good, but the movie in general was meh.

There’s a reason Stanley Kubrick died 6 days after screening the final cut and 24 minutes were then cut from the movie. It’s based on reality and I guess some parts were too close to home. Watch it again as a documentary/call back to Rothschild parties.

Apparently [average height = incel] to those that never interact with women outside of the YouTube comment section.

Put down the manosphere and refocus on something that matters.
