A closer look

Ah, the miracle of cinematic youth, where studio executives throw endless buckets of wealth at aging stars rather than casting someone younger. De-aging actors is a spectacularly expensive endeavor that drains unbelievable amounts of capital. Entire studios dedicate months of pixel-by-pixel manipulation just to pretend an action star is still in their thirties. The economic drain is absolutely hilarious when you realize nostalgia commands a much higher premium than logic.
