How do you visualize characters differently from their movie portrayals?

[(Anonymous)]

I just mean their physical appearance, not the actor or writers' interpretation/adaptation of the character.

If I'm reading Avengers fic, Clint is ALWAYS in my mind his comic form. Everyone else is the movie adaptation of their characters, but Clint is a lot more like the comics and not Jeremy Renner.

I have only one big quibble with the awesome granada Sherlock Holmes series, and that is that Holmes and Watson, as portrayed there, were only the age they were portrayed as being for a handful of the stories. For over half the published stories, they were in their late 20s to mid 30s. So I always have a problem visualizing them as Granada-age except in stories where Watson actually gives a date from, like, after 1900.

I never imagined Remus and Sirius even the tiniest bit like they look in the movies - which is why I never watched the movies they appear in. It just... no.

This. It didn't stop me from watching the movies, I just imagine they are different characters made for them whose roles happen to have absorbed what the book characters did.

Almost all the adult cast of the HP movies is completely fucked up when it comes to their ages :/ But Remus and Sirius were so damn different of how I had imagined them...

I try not to imagine any of the characters in HP in their movie forms (except for Hagrid). But I think Lupin is one of the only ones where I'm actually successful because the image is just so different.

I picture Faramir and Boromir with dark hair like in the book. And Elrond is supposed to be a male version of Arwen, so I always picture him as really beautiful.

Are you saying Hugo Weaving is not beautiful? D:

DA. Well, Elrond is supposed to be not-too-distantly related to Luthien, right?

Handsome Hugo Weaving may be, but even subjectively you can't say he's obviously descended from the most beautiful woman to ever exist.

Says you. I can say whatever I want.

(also I was half-joking)

Of course! :)

(As was I)

I never managed to catch the first season of Teen Wolf so I always imagined Laura Hale as having blonde hair. I have no idea why. When I finally started finding fic where she was an active character, not just mentioned off-hand in the past tense, and they all said she was a brunette I was very confused.

Even now that I know shes actually brunette I still picture her blonde.

Re: How do you visualize characters differently from their movie portrayals?

[(Anonymous)]

SA. Shoot, you meant books to movies not characters in general.

I always visualized Legolas hair as more of a richer wheat/golden blonde than the pale blonde he was in the movies, and Thranduil as having wavy, nearly curly hair of the same color.

The actor that played Pi Patel in the Life of Pi movie looked too tall and teenage gangly to me - I imagined him as shorter and with a certain deliberate gracefulness in his limbs and movement to avoid more teasing.
