Damn you, Teppy. So far nothing about the Avengers world has made the ficspaces in my head twitch, but your typo made the plot bunny ears perk up.

And I'm being very good about avoiding *most* spoilers.

Still, I can't help but think that with a better actress in the lead role, the script could have lost at least half of the "She lights up the room! She's so lovely! She breathes life into everything she touches!" exclamations by the other actors.

I just couldn't suspend disbelief enough to imagine Charlize Theron being intimidated by Kristen Stewart's beauty.

If only Kristen would close her damn mouth! When she's not talking, that is.

She could go ahead and close it then too.

I think K-Stew's acting could be greatly improved if she stuck a post-it to her forehead with the word SUBTEXT written on it.

Seriously. And, while I think Charlize was way overacting in this role, I like to think that in part she was hamming it up that much to try and show K-Stew what acting is.

See, Kristin? Emoting! Pretend like you have emotions, and show them on your face. like this! No, MORE!

Like trying to smash through a brick wall with a sledgehammer.

I thought that Chris Hemsworth had a STRONG Heath Ledger vibe.

He doesn't look like him (to me), but he really feels like him here. Almost like Heath was in the movie, wearing a Hemsworth suit. I could easily see Ledger in the role.

And I liked the dwarves. (Edit: Of course, I'd watch Ian McShane do almost anything)

Part of it was Hemsworth's darker-than-Thor hair (having seen Avengers at least 3 times before Snow White really made that difference stand out), and IIRC, Hemsworth used a different accent (his real accent?) in Snow White, which sounded very Ledger to my ear. And yeah, it was just...a vibe. Strong enough to creep me out.

Yeah, the accent was kind of part of it. I don't know what Hemsworth's real accent is (I was very surprised to discover that Damien Lewis' real accent is super-upper-crusty-Brit), but he's doing a sort of pseudo-Scottish accent. Heath's real accent was Aussie, but most of his best known movies he's trying to do a generic USian accent with moderate success (his accent in 10 Things I Hate About You was seriously WTF all over the place). I would really like to have seen how much his accent improved after TDK. He'd steadily improved over his career, and seemed to have some kind of breakthrough around his Brokeback/TDK period. I loved the Joker voice.

Serial: Which is all to say that I don't think the accents were *too* similar, but there was something about the accent that's kind of part of it. It probably adds to the creep factor that it's so hard to put your finger on.

And I think Snow White and the Huntsman would be a better movie if they replaced K-Stew with a stick with her cue cards taped to it.
