> You don’t feel any real emotional connection to Bailon compared to say Baldwin or Sybilla. Things just happen to him and he’s just there.

So you either didn’t watch the Director’s Cut or didn’t pay attention to it because they explain all of your “complaints.”

The Theatrical Cut is problematic because it does feel like “things just happen” to Bailon in that version but the Director’s Cut addresses all of these things.

His performance works in the films benefit due to how reserved it is.

I've watched the director's cut multiple times. You've completely misunderstood what I've said.

Balion is there for events but Bloom as an actor isn't capable of any emotional resonance when things happen. He delivers a stilted and wooden performance regardless of the impact of the scene.
