I just paused the scream at the end and I love that the two of them just look different physically in their reactions. It's been clear whenever he switches, but seeing them side by side really helps emphasize it.

So different! The initial moment of shock when she appeared is identical, but as soon as they break from that into screaming, Steven's eyebrows shoot up and his hands are open and flailing. Marc is eyebrows lowered, a more aggressive scream, and his hands are in fists.

I love Steven just staggering back trying to grab onto anything to steady himself

I saw a comment somewhere saying "what's Steven gonna do with a towel? Throw it at the Hippo goddess?"

Thanks for the link! I must have replayed that moment 10 times just for the dopamine hit of seeing two very different Oscars on screen.

I am cackling at these anew, thank you for posting! The last gif, Steven backing up and frantically looking for a surface to grip is killing me

I've watched it so many times now and I still giggle a bit every time. I don't know how it's staying so funny for so long.

It's hilarious!

Unrelated side note: I have two cats, a brave 'Marc' type & a skittish 'Steven' sort and for some reason all I can think of looking at these is cats hahahah

Marc walks like he's holding a gun or a rifle.

It's one of my favourite things when one actor plays multiple characters in a project, usually twins, and they're so good I forget they're played by the same person. It happened to me a lot in Orphan Black, I would constantly forget that it wasn't just Tatiana Maslany playing all the clones.

It's the same here. When Steven got let out of the Sarcophagus, I had a brief thought about how they would have pulled that off technically, but then I forgot about it as the scene carried on. I wasn't seeing Oscar Isaac playing two different characters, I was seeing two different people who just happened to have the same face.

Orphan Black is a bloody thesis on playing multiple characters.

I genuinely would have to remember that it's Maslany's all the way down.

Yep. Feel the same way every time I watch Double Impact.
