Ahh, tv shows where I can't tell apart the male leads, my beloathed.

Seriously either we need to go back to lighting our sets more, or long hair on men needs to come back into vogue, because I can't keep living like this.

I can't keep taking two seconds to try to determine who is who every shot because I miss what's going on in the scene!

Controversial opinion, but you need to follow the silhouette rule in live-action projects too, at least in regard to characters in the same show or movie! If you absolutely *can't* hire actors with different heights, hair, or builds, you need to work something out with the costuming department to get a distinct shape!

#fan wank #ignore morg #It doesn't even necessarily have to be that long smh just pick a man to not have the sides short?#I mean I'd like it longer because it looks better imo but for functional reasons changing the shape of their head would work!!!#Also the better your lighting is the more effective smaller changes to hair or costumes (or the actors faces lol) are likely to be.#Sometimes it's not even a lighting issue that creates an issue with the costuming.#Like I respect the use of a color filter for setting mood but if you use one you NEED different silhouettes!#Like this one appears to have *tried* with the guy with the earring but it's not enough.#There are few enough of that kind of fun-spooky type of romp that I feel left out by not being able to watch Ghostbusters.#(not that OG ghostbusters doesn't have other annoying elements but this one actively interferes with comprehension for me)#It's really disappointing running into another one.#I guess I should be grateful I don't watch a lot of a certain kind of anime because a few studios have a very similar problem.#Though in that case they're more likely to use the hair to fix the comprehension-affecting part of the problem.#Yeah I'm not making a particular effort to *hide* what show I'm vagueing. Just like I'm not doing much to hide my disappointment.#god fuck these unnecessary accessibility issues in live action seriously it's so goddamn frustrating.
