“Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?” the “Everybody Loves Raymond” actress wrote.
“Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?” Patricia Heaton wrote on Twitter.However, others pointed out that casting Tim Allen wouldn’t have made sense canonically as “Lightyear” isn’t about Buzz Lightyear the toy, but rather the action hero that it was based on.. “Tim Allen’s Buzz is the toy based off of a person. Chris Evan’s Buzz is the the real person that inspired the toy. The movie is about Buzz Lightyear the Person, not Andy’s toy.
Chris Evans poses with a Buzz Lightyear character during the Lightyear UK Premiere at Cineworld Leicester Square on June 13, 2022, in London., “Lightyear” director Angus MacLane claimed that Allen wouldn’t be a good fit as his version of Buzz, who “is a little goofier and is a little dumber, and so he is the comic relief.”
