RDJ did such a good job in Tropic Thunder playing Kirk Lazarus. So I can’t wait to see this series. I’m a so happy he reclaimed his life from SUD, and then some.

Someone give this man an Emmy, Golden Globe and a BAFTA for this show….

Downey is great in this. The claw hand reminded me of Kansas conservative Congressman Robert Dole who had a similar war injury to his right arm.

I'm sad this show is not getting the recognition it deserves. I truly hope it gets it's recognition at the Golden Globes and Emmys.

All his roles (CIA, Professor, Congressman, Actor) like symbolize POV of the captain: those american involve in his mission are the same (have theirs own interest, some twisted mind....).

Robert Downey Jr. doesn't drop character 'till he has done the youtube commentary.

I never thought that I’d hate RDJ’s face so much before this episode. He played his role so well. 😆

Its rare to see Robert Downey Jr playing 4 main antagonists in the same movie series

I like the job that he did in u.S marshall When Robert downey junior went up against wesley' Snipe Before they were iron man and blade

Some people say that he plays the 4 characters because they all share similar characteristics etc. I thought it was as simple as how "ignorant" Americans think people of Asian ethnicity all look the same whereas we get the Captain's point of view and "ignorantly" to him, all white Americans look the same. I can understand the "similar characteristics" viewpoint but i think simpler would have been just as good. Or maybe I'm the ignorant one 🤷🏾‍♂️ either way, I'm really enjoying the show and I can't wait for episode 7.

I like Downey but this made me cringe, I don't think it works. It may be because I can't help thinking about the stellar performances given by Peter Sellers playing 3 roles in Dr Strangelove. Three completely distinct characters. I know people who have watched that and didn't realize it was the same guy playing those different roles. Or maybe I am missing something as it relates to the translation of the story as written down by the main character to reality.

Susan dropping that little hint about episode 7 makes me think it's building to some sort of payoff all this

@alyanadhirahr 28 күн бұрын

RDJ playing 4 characters is on purpose. They want to show some similarities. Park Chan-wook said "They were sharing one body with many faces" basically representing America as a whole.

@@alyanadhirahr its quite interesting how from the narrator's POV, every major white man looked the same. Yes the series finale gives more of an explanation rather than a payoff.

Yeah downey was major cringe throughout.
