Its kinda exaggerated though arguably true to an extent. I kinda wish I read the books to see this "evil" Count Olaf, but I don't have time for that. If anything, Jim Carrey was more sinister to me, if only because of his facial structure and such.
Like.Harris is probably just as comedic as Carrey was. But I don't understand when people say they like him more than Jim Carrey because Carrey was too comedic. I do like Harris as Count Olaf to an extent, though. I have no problem with how the Baudelaire actors act - they seem pretty accurate to how somebody would behave after having their parents burnt and then having a maniac stalk them from one foster home to another, with a myriad of deaths left in their wake. Kinda hard to take that man seriously when he is not trying to murder or abuse children or not holding a large knife.
All on the justification that he has a theory on orphans having stronger bones or whatever. I mean the dude is a painfully bad actor(who fools everyone anyways because everyone is stupid as fuck) wears the bizzarest of disguises, with obviouslyįake accents and comes up with rather convoluted plans like making the baudelaires run laps late at night into the morning so they are super tired so the manchild narcissist principal will flunk them out of boarding school and he can try to adopt them and than murder them for the fortune.
I really hope they take some creative liberties with the ending because it legit blueballed everyoneĮh I feel Olaf kinda became Goofier as the series went on and he always kinda was goofy when he wasnt being terrifying. Count Olaf needs to be played humorously because if he was as accurate as he was in the books I'd have nightmares
