Its due to actor contracts/star appeal most of tiem apparently. Can’t have faces covered too long apparently
…okay now I want a film where most of the action is in space suits colored like power rangers outfits to tell them apart.
This is the perfect idea for use of unknown actors - first roles, people who can body-act well. If they need dialogue, dub voice actors over them. Unknown physical actors combined with well-known, celebrated animation voice actors.
Like, “Okay, the purple astronaut is voiced by Tress McNeil! I think the green one is Mark Hammil? Is the white-suit Jonny Yong Bosch? Oh, dude, duuuude, is that Keston John voicing Blue?”
And it’s all done in-story with sci-fi com-systems so we can hear the dialogue, but nobody’s taking off their helment in a potentially toxic or oxygen-thin or potentially space-pathogen-laden atmosphere.
maybe it could have twist where the astronauts are not human at all.
