This link takes you to an article about Christopher Eccleson's complaints that when he was on set for Thor the ears he had to wear left lots of uncomfortable wax in his ear. I believe this is wrong on the costume departments part as they should make safe sturdy costumes for the actors that will bring in many watchers of the film. Costume is a very important aspect of film looking from a mise en scenes perspective the costumes in Thor are vital to each individual character but I don't think it should be at the cost of an actors health or wellbeing .Do you agree could they have changed any aspects of the ears to make them more safe? The interview is interesting as it includes Christopher Eccleson's own opinion on the matter and even makes a whimsical joke about the inconvenience. A true actor will take the good with the bad In my opinion. What do you think? Without the famous ears I don't think Christopher Eccleson's character would be as scary or true to comics.Could they have been made with another material that would not have been so irritating?I think if it could have been done it would of been!
