I felt the same way. It’s impossible to not see him as other characters.

Not to mention he just did a Super Bowl commercial that lampoons his very characterish nature these days.

Oof. Missed that.

What was it about his portrayal that broke the immersion for you?

Didn’t take me completely out of it, but certain actors get to a point where they’re both so iconic and idiosyncratic that they become a character of themselves. Think William Shatner.

i was thinking sting wouldve been an awesome emperor, he played feyd-rautha in the 80s dune

That would have rocked. Patrick Stewart played Gurney in that version and he would have been great as well.
