Glad to see more people thinking so too. For a moment it seems like we were just "being biased and picking on him cus we think no one is good enough for Matt".
Lol...even those that are vocal like me never think Boy is not good enough for Matt. Of course, if they are making it up is another story
.
Even those that are not that big of Matt's fan and watched the lakorn thinks Boy is not doing a good job. So, it's not as if, we are the only one seeing it. Those that refused to see he could do better, well they are seeing it from different angles than most of us in here.
We are not saying he's a horrible actor through out his career, he just sucks in here (up to this point). He played the character wrong IMO. He isn't the fire in the title. It seemed to go to Pear instead. But that's not how it's supposed to be.
There are some scenes that if Boy put a little effort it could be more intense and powerful. But unfortunately, he lagged that very intensity both in body language and his eyes. He doesn't make it come across as he care a whole lot about anything.
And honestly, one habit in this role I noticed and start to bother me is him clamping down his lips when he doesn't like what Leela is doing. But all it does is make him look unappealing.
He might want to be the savior to those around him, and by all means his dysfunction family needs that. Still, it boils down to when that part of his personality needs to come up. There are people that he needs to fight them with their strength and gentle for now takes a back seat...and that pertains to Leela. When it comes to her...he absolutely leave his aggressiveness in another universe.
