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

[MatureDJ]

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.

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.

 

[Millard Fillmore]

only 5'8"!

Just above average worldwide male height. You are obsessed.

 

[Gamisch]

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 )

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

 

[BackInTheGame78]

I'm 5'8" and it's never been an issue for me.

So, what movie are you in?

So, what movie are you in?

Depends how many women kept the videos. Not sure they have titles. Some of them were far longer than Oppenheimer tho.

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

 

[Stuffnu]

I’ve dated girls taller than me...

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.

 

[EyeBRollin]

Top Gun Maverick was one of the best action movies released in a long time. No one watching the movie gives a shvt about Tom Cruise’s height.

 

[Murk]

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

Evidently, he did this stunt.

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.

I believe height matters quite much. I have friends IRL that are great at game (bed count 60-300) and they all are tall. In the rare case I close it's with a girl who is shorter, or, there's a strong hypergamy in play. For instance, last two chicks were fatties.

So, sure, you can close as short, but it is harder and you'll have to compensate with something else. And you have less options. If you haven't figured it out yet: it means you'll not have the romantic life you want to have. Have a fun life.
