That's where the rest of the acting abilities come in. Plus the director knowing where to put the camera, where to move it, the other actors responding accordingly so as to cue you into the emotion you're supposed to be feeling, the music...
It's not like it's an insurmountable knock, is all I'm saying. Obviously we disagree on this aesthetic choice, but for me - we're talking about superheroes. This is a genre we're all REALLY used to. And I don't just mean nerds on a gaming forum. I mean PEOPLE. IN GENERAL.
The people most worried about the eyes being taken away are the actors. Not the audience. The audience will roll with it just fine. Audiences can project emotions onto ANYTHING so long as the story makes it a point to allow for that.
Basically, I'm arguing for basic credit to be given to any given audience (as well as the other storytellers and even the actors inhabiting the suits) whereas it feels to me like you're arguing that audiences will be too dumb to get it, and actors are too lame to incorporate these elements into their performance effectively.
We just disagree on how important seeing an actor's eyeballs are when it comes to movies about psychotic leather daddies beating up criminals.
Thanks!
