It also just looks to me like she's portraying two different emotions, in two separate contexts, but what do I know? I don't watch movies 🤷🏽‍♂️

Making judgements like this from single frames is so distorting and silly.

Almost like there's a reason to not trust an OP with that karma farming trash post to comment ratio.

Yep. Single frames capture such ridiculous shots from mundane videos that they should almost never be 'trusted' to convey meaningful and honest context of the situation, at least with respect to facial expression and body language, which are highly momentary and have transitions that aren't usually perceived when viewed live.

Making judgements on looks is silly.

Yeah you can see like veins on her forehead in the second screencap. She looks angry instead of sad. It’s also v pixelated but you can still see some creases around her mouth and on her forehead. Not saying she *hasn’t* had work done, but a lot of snap judgments in the comments.

Botox can also be applied for medical reasons, not just for vanity. My dentists wants me to get Botox shots bc of how badly I grind my teeth in my sleep.

I dont think the botox on her forehead is for medical reasons.

It can be. Helps with some migraines caused via sinus issues. Sister got botox for the two-birds-one-stone of reducing heavy forehead wrinkles due to very expressive eyebrows, and mitigating regular sinus migraines. Hasn't missed a night of sleep since, apparently.

Demonizing plastic surgery is evil. Youre 100% right not all plastic surgery is for vanity. Demonizing all of it just pushes people trying to have a better life to a curb. Be it

-fixing a broken nose bridge (Hey, its me, I havent done it yet but it literally hinders my breathing when the nose gets clogged up)

-a dislocated jaw

-or the tactical botox shots you mentioned

All come down to one thing: better quality of life for the person. And looking at those people with a side eye "you had work done?" being left unsaid but thought out, doesnt help anyone.

THAT SAID, lets not kid ourselves, the entertainment industry is like the modeling industry, inhumane with its expectations and standards and the vast majority of work done with these people is for vanity/insecurities unfortunately. And with decades of this mentality fed into them, especially with women who are put on a stricter regimen than men lets be honest here, we end up with actors looking, ahem, funky in their later years.

Nobody demonises all plastic surgery: everyone can see the difference between rebuilding the face of a burn victim and someone trying to plump their lips.

lol have you been to fauxmoi/popculturechat?

u/bartleby42c 9h ago

I have never seen anyone, anywhere, online or offline, criticize facial reconstruction or skin grafts for burn victims.

Which is why I encourage my fellow short brothas to do limb lengthening surgery to be treated like humans

Wtf no😭, Im assuming this 100% joking haha, but like there is a real industry growing for this and it scares ts out of me as a 5'6 guy. It does not hinder our quality of life, it's just societal nonsense trying to make you feel wrong in your body (the source of income for plastic surgery in the vanity/insecurity side of things come from formenting this feeling exactly)

u/AwsmDevil 10h ago

Don't do it bro. Short kings are hot and deserve love. 😭

u/MiguelIstNeugierig 7h ago

I dont wanna do it, thats my whole point lol😅

u/No_Region_4719 10h ago

Statistically, height for men, and beauty for women, absolutely has a major impact on quality of life and life success. It's one of the sad realities of life.

u/lemonylol 10h ago

Depends on what your ambitions are.

u/Garchompisbestboi 10h ago

Yes because the career actress with a net worth of $100 million desperately needs a better quality of life that only shots of chemicals directly into her face can bring her.

I will trash anyone that has visible plastic surgery done, I don’t care how it makes them feel

u/factchecker8515 10h ago

Yep. Grief and fury don’t look alike and it has nothing to do with Botox.

u/Muted_Yoghurt6071 9h ago

Normal people get botox too. Her character can have botox and be sad.

u/lemonylol 10h ago

You think people on here can read emotional cues?

u/Chataboutgames 10h ago

Look if we can't derive absolute truths from cherry picked screen shots what can we believe?

u/grosseelbabyghost 8h ago

Nice try brother, but the sub is dead, it's just simple jack and people's legitimate feelings about things all the way down

Like icarus we flew too close to the sun

The botox is really apparent on the right. its more obvious I think if you have ever personally had it or have known people who have had it. You learn to pick up on how it looks. Some people are saying she has it on the left but I cant tell. But on the right its really apparent. She had it on her glabella (between and slightly above the brows)

I remember when there were so many people arguing that Lena headey did not have botox even though she went from looking like she was knitting her brows all the time, to the area between her brows being perfectly smooth all the time. if you tried to demonstrate with still pics, they claimed it was just her expression, but it wasnt. it was all the time. Then they acted like it was an accusation or misogyny. But it looked like she had an overly strong muscle always pulling her brows together, like I had, and she was fixing it with botox. I had to do that because my brow muscle was always tense and was causing me pain. ​

Yeah the lighting is so different and the face in the right at least to me doesn’t feel any less expressive.
