More than Aaaaalllrighty then!
or Ilike it a lot!
that line fromThe Maskcaptured 1994: the year whereJim Carreydominated the box office with three blockbuster comedies.
And like the Jim Carrey movie,The Maskcomics see Stanley applying cartoon logic to the real world.
TheLooney Tunesquality of the chaos makes the violence feel more upsetting, not less.
But I didnt want this to be the next Freddy Krueger.
I wanted the main character to be more like Tex Avery.
The characters began to evolve, and Stanley Ipkiss became more of a repressed romantic.
The main bit of evolution: Jim Carrey.
To be clear, the movies changes in tone happened before Carrey had his big breakout withAce Ventura.
These revisions stripped away any remains of Big-Heads menace that might have lingered from the comics.
Big-Head was gone.The Maskis all that remained.
