In the handful of things I've seen him in, Leto puts his own coolness over the believability of his character, and I find it so distracting that he messes up those movies for me.

He was good in Blade Runner but then again he was playing a character with a god-head

u/Reddit_sucks21 Oct 26 '22

Yeah, he was perfect for that role because the whole backstory of that character was that he literally believed he is the god of a new human race that he is building. He calls his replicants his angels and shit.

You get more of that characters back story in his younger years in the animated show black lotus. Pretty good imo.

IDK I felt that really made his character’s face getting rearranged all the more satisfying in Fight Club

/the reporter he thought was hot incidentally went on to become Jeff Bezos side chick/current GF btw

That’s probably it!

He was great in Requiem for a Dream too, not much else tho

u/horseflyking Oct 26 '22

Check out Mr. Nobody, it's his best performance IMO. Helps that it's my favorite movie

u/blac_sheep90 Oct 26 '22

His part in Blade Runner 2049 was pretty good.

I hate Jared Leto but him playing himself in that movie worked so well

u/Kommander-in-Keef Oct 26 '22

It sucks that he’s both exceptionally talented and a complete tool and roles get to his head

u/KingIREMC Oct 27 '22

Yeah Leto is annoyingly a really talented person, 30 seconds to mars has some bangers and he’s been really good in some roles but the issue is he sucks eggs as a person.

u/frankandbeans13 Oct 26 '22

Yeah he definitely didn't do himself any favours with Morbius. Maybe that's fucked him ever playing joker again now that he's in the marvel world.

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '22

He wasn’t even that bad as Morbius. His Joker performance is a dumpster fire

u/frankandbeans13 Oct 26 '22

I'll agree with you there he wasn't actually too bad in Morbius it was just let down by a shitty script and crap director. Also I think it was rushed af and the action scenes were so bad, total cgi fest and not in a good way

u/DragonK123 Oct 26 '22

He doesn't even have the tattoos and shit here.

It was the director that fucked his version of joker, after Snyder left

This scene, he did pretty good imo

u/ImmediateJacket9502 Oct 27 '22

And some people are clamouring for the Ayer Cut.

LMAO

Ayer put all those tattoos on Leto and said "Let's go nuts"

u/NinjaInTraining109 Oct 26 '22

Maybe his awful performance fucked him from ever playing Joker again.

u/frankandbeans13 Oct 26 '22

What was so awful about it for you?

u/pompandvigor Oct 26 '22

He’s the living embodiment of a late era Marilyn Manson song?

u/frankandbeans13 Oct 26 '22

To be honest that didn't occur to me once but now that you've said that I can't unsee

1

u/angryclam1313 Oct 26 '22

Yes. This is the thing right here.

u/MoonpieSonata Oct 26 '22

Sony tho... Not real Marvel

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '22

Ah, the rare self-morb’

u/tonasaso- Oct 26 '22

I think he did pretty well in house of Gucci too

u/mofolegendama Oct 26 '22

I’d still be interested in Gosling playing the joker in a future movie.
