Also no helmets. Can't cover the face even when wildly impractical.

You probably meant motorcycle helmets My mind immediately went to Avengers Endgame. Everyone removing their helmet everytime they had anything to say... Was an awful direction

And when they have sci-fi helmets they have bright lights shining at their face. Surely that would be annoying.

I honestly don't get it. Recently read a manga and they ACTUALLY WORE THEIR BLOODY HELMETS DURING BATTLE! It was glorious! Occasional a stray bullet destroys the helmet sadly...but for a large chunk of it all, they actually fucking wear them! You could still tell who is who by body proportions, dialog and context so that wasn't really an issue. Also it's hella dramatic to take off the helmet after battle or when trying to negotiate with someone. It just makes soo much more sense!

Feels like the issue is to not cover the actor's face because that's where the perceived value are. Drawn media doesn't have that issue, so they can do it in a creative way.

Honestly, I despise the feeling of recognizing an actor. All I can think about in that moment is the other movie's character and it just breaks immersion while confusing my little ape brain.

Also they do the same in drawn media too. The anime adaptation for example features 0 helmets.

Yeah, seeing RDJ on other role is so weird after being so recognisable as Ironman. It's no wonder he wanna end the role to break off from typecasted, ironically at the time where MCU is at its peak.

Also what's that manga? Seems interesting 👀

Youjo Senki. And the anime adaptation does not do it justice. It feels like a completely different story xD
