Oh neat. I never knew. Not super into superhero movies.
Just average into average hero movies then?

Even in 2000, I feel like they should have been able to compromise, e.g. by doing his sclera and covering up breathing holes on the computer, but still having the rest be makeup, prosthetics and a costume.

The Tin Man and Wicked Witch would like a word
Smoking more cigarettes should sort that out.

Dorn had been begging for his own show for decades
Like the Sulu series, that ship has unfortunately sailed.
So many good ideas left behind because of the cheap bastards controlling the brand.

Michael Dorn said "nope, no way, not doing that again, wait, how much?" (Wrt DS9)
To be fair, in the near 40 years between the beginning of TNG and Picard S3, makeup tech has improved vastly.
In the 80s we were talking about heavy, hot prosthetics under very bright, hot lights.
Today, those prosthetics are slim, silicone moulded to the person's face, with skin-friendlier glues, much less makeup required to hide it, and better CGI that helps eliminate makeup mistakes.

Honestly yeah. Like SkyHigh, ClockStoppers, Futureman

Acting in makeup does not seem as easy as one’s ability to act without makeup. There have been stories of people on Star Trek for example, whom had terrible experiences. Some wanted to quit, others had bad skin reactions.
And they still end up looking like stiff puppets

ClockStoppers
Goddamn...

Da ba dee da ba di
What about her house and car?

Not only will this now accelerate, any fresh IP will get the dreaded production interference with MAGA themes

The name "Enterprise" was from the start a right wing capitulation to avoid a moral panic over space communism and a diverse crew.

It takes hours and hours to put it on, and take it off. And then theres 10 hours of acting in between.
I would have panic attacks too
As an aside. The guy who played Pinhead was in so many things as Pinhead he learned how to do the makeup himself.

This was a very interesting read. This was my favorite tidbit.
“There was a popular movie website at the time, Ain’t It Cool News, and the guy who ran it was a fan of my work, and I contacted him,” Baker continued. “I said, ‘Listen, Universal wants to paint Jim Carrey green. I feel it’s a major mistake. I did a test on myself of what I think it should look like. Can you somehow say that you saw this test and that Universal is making a major mistake and they don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about?’ And he did. And it was outrageous responses from everybody. ‘What the hell is wrong with these people at Universal? I don’t want to see green Jim Carrey. I want to see a Grinch!’ Blah, blah, blah. So they finally caved in.”
Wow, I had completely forgotten about Ain't It Cool News. It's still running.

Ah, so you only like movies and shows with penis fight scenes

There's makeup, and then there's having carpet laid on your face.

Jennifer Lawrence gets a lot of shit for not being blue much after the first movie she was in but she also had a really bad reaction to the makeup
That's why they killed off Z'an on Farscape, the blue makeup was apparently harming Virginia Hey's kidneys so she had to quit the role.
-
What about her house and car?
It was all yellow

The dude who created SEAL Team 6 helped Carrey endure the Grinch make-up is a wild tidbit to bury way so deep in an article like this

The article says they offered to color Carrey's eyes green with CGI but he opted for the painful contact lenses anyway.
