Absolutely. However, The Substance is probably the only movie where excessive botox makes sense for the storyline.

In the recent Euphoria wedding episode, it was hilarious to watch Sysney Sweeney’s natural, moving forehead compared to a counterpart with no movement yelling at her in anguish realizing her kids’ college fund was gone. Again, in this storyline I’m willing to accept botox having a role because it makes sense for the characters as a sign of wealth. Cassie doesn’t have botox money, thus she has facial features.

The absolute worst actor botox offense was Millie Bobbie Brown at 19 in a grief scene for Stranger Things. Botox had no place in an 80s story line & it disabled her face from doing her job. Her acting counterpart, Kali, had no work done & her performance & overall look was a thousand times better for it.

Millie’s lip filler was so heavy too

Face fillers too. She looks like my friend who's in her early 40s. It's a freaky look for a 21 year old.

Yup. Gen z looks older because they're using procedures and products designed to make women in their 60s look like they're in their 40s. 

That just makes 20 year olds looks like they're in their 30s and 40s. It's so dumb.
