* There are ''very'' few pictures of the late Japanese emperor Hirohito where he has a smile on his face. You'd have an easier time finding pictures of a smiling Adolf Hitler.

* There are ''very'' few pictures of the late Japanese emperor Hirohito where he has a smile on his face. You'd have an easier time finding pictures of a smiling Adolf Hitler. Part of this is due to cultural reasons, as it was (and to some extent still is) considered deeply taboo to depict or capture images of the Imperial family going about their business like normal people.

* One of the biggest criticisms of Superman's portrayal in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' is that Clark doesn’t wipe his gloomy frown off his face except when he's with Lois or his mother Martha. Yes it's part of Creator/ZackSnyder DarkerAndGrittier aesthetic but seeing the AllLovingHero Superman have a grim look on his face while saving people was too much for fans. ''Film/JusticeLeague2017'' corrects this as Supes readily smiles and chuckles just like in the comics.
* ''Film/TheBourneSeries'' Jason Bourne is like this, due to constantly being on the run and on his guard. The only time he smiles in the original film is at the very end, when he reunites with Marie. In the sequels, [[spoiler:Marie is killed in the first action sequence and]] he never smiles again.

** Strangely enough Captain America tends to have a frown as his default expression. True his stoicism is somewhat justified given he was bullied frequently as a kid, has been through many wars and has almost everyone he knew from the forties die, but it is a contrast to his idealistic nature.
*** It's even noted out of universe as Cap's actor Creator/ChrisEvans is a huge goofball on set, yet when the director calls action his costars notice that he immediately stops smiling and becomes deadly serious.
** Nick Fury has this expression 24/7 in later movies, considering the violence, conspiracies, betrayals and corruption he’s seen it’s to be expected. Though it's strange since Fury frequently smiled and laughed in ''Film/IronMan2'' though this was before his characterization came in.
** The Hulk's default expression just like comics is an angry scowl and only smiles once when Cap gives him the “Smash” command. Averted in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' as Hulk smiles and laughs like a big overgrown toddler, [[spoiler: also [[GeniusBrusier Professor Hulk]] is rarely seen frowning]].
** Bucky much like Cap rarely feels any indication to curl his lips up and would rather bury his emotion in brooding stoicism. It's a strong contrast to when Bucky was introduced where he had an easy going smile on his face though ColdbloodedTorture and being BrainwashedAndCrazy for years probably does that to you. Averted in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'' where Bucky has managed to somewhat go back to how he was before Hydra captured him, even if he still glares and scowls a fair bit.
** Initially played straight with Drax and Gamora who had near permanent frowns on their faces just like the comics, but thanks to Star-Lord they both brighten up immensely. Drax in particular despite his DarkAndTroubledPast is capable of fits of laughter.
** Thanos is a mixed bag as just like like comic he's capable of a PsychoticSmirk and SlasherSmile, but most other times he has somber frown on his face or a scowl. At the end of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' he has peaceful smile [[spoiler: after killing half the universe]].
** Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}} almost never smiles and has near permanent stoic frown on her face. It's even noted InUniverse as a sleazy biker asks Carol to give him a smile and gives him a scowl in return. It’s semi-[[JustifiedTrope justified]] given her part with her difficult childhood and a hard time at the airforce so Carol is probably acting aloof [[HiddenHeartOfGold as a defense]].
** Nebula is the queen of this trope as unlike the previous listed she has distinction of never smiling once, at the most she'll soften her scowl. [[spoiler: She finally smiles albeit briefly in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' while playing games with Tony]].
