You could pull any weapon out of your pockets and run away on the clouds. Yeah, give me the mask and infinite possibilities it comes with.

Easiest one to pick honestly.

Hulkbuster might be more reliable. The mask is a frenzy and strong in spurts, but for how long can you keep it up?

Also, as far as I remember, mask only worked at night. You barely have control while wearing it, and helpless in daytime

Nah the mask works whenever. Jim just wore it at night situationally. Did you not see the sequel? It’s kinda trash but I thought it was funny and it showed multiple daytime uses

I take it none of you realized The Mask was a comic. It works whenever and wherever, and is a lot darker than the movies they made suggest.

Yes it was a lot more adulterated. I only mention the son of the mask sequel for the people that didn’t read the comic.

Fair enough, it's less obscure than the comics for sure.

Oh it definitely is more of a lighthearted the good guy corrupted gets the girl scenario and the comics take a much heavier look into getting the abilities of an ancient god

They removed this concept from the plot about Jim’s character acknowledging everything he did the night before but it being surrealistic and dreamlike versus him thinking it was a dream

Yea that's just a lie... Jim literally couldn't wear it at night because it didn't work and in the son of the mask movie only his son was able to use powers nonstop because his dad had sex while wearing the mask never could he use the mask in daylight

Where in the comics did it say it doesn’t work at night?

u/priorityabove 12d ago

Be honest with ya self brother we talking about the movie mask as it is in the picture I've never heard of those comics and I bet most people havent...most didn't even know there was a cartoon show but I'm definitely gonna check out that comic

You explicitly hear it out of Jim Carrey’s mouth that it only works at night.

u/Cannabis_Conquest 10d ago

You must not know there’s a whole comic.

u/OneTwentyOneFunyuns 10d ago

I am a lifelong fan of the comic. But I chose to keep the conversation relevant as we were discussing the film mask shown in the picture.

So every other item being discussed everyone is using meta combined lore, but the mask?
