Jim Carrey as the Riddler. Which reminds me that the man was in his prime, fresh off Ace Ventura and The Mask. It also reminded me that the villain reveal in Ace Ventura would create an absolute shitstorm nowadays
apparently Tommy Lee Jones despised him
Tommy Lee Jones is a great actor but he takes it all way too fuckin serious. He also really didn't like being two face. He pretty much hated the entire movie production.
Yes, but what so considered trams phobia now could be seen as progressive back then. The first half. Of the movie shows a complex if flawed character. The reveal is played for laughs and is awful in modern context. It was a bit of a play on the crying game.
Similarly there is lots of homophobia and trans jokes in something like friends, and Ross wife leaving him for a woman is played for laughs. At the same tine, there were lesbian characters who weren't overly cliché.
We see racism in Disney movies and lots of villains are gay coded. Disney has done what it can to erase song of the south from their history. Ignoring our flawed history dooms us to repeat it, as we see with a resurgence of fascism and nationalism.
