I thought he was terrible in Atlantis -- his performance was a monotone mumble with dreadful enunciation. He's gotten far better in the years since.
Now, THIS is an opinion some of us will agree with, and many of us can at least respect as a "legitimate" opinion.
Oh, there was screaming to the pit of Hell about Momoa getting the Aquaman role, with the typical charges of "replacing" a white character with the "wrong" actor (an ideological spin-off of "The Great Replacement Theory" argued by White Supremacists from every corridor of social and professional life). I'm sure there's "Never Momoa" types still crawling around the world, wanting the big screen Aquaman to be blonde and as White as possible.
Out of 6 billion people, i am sure SOMEONE is hperracist about it... but i meant to ask if the level of racism was anywhere near that we saw with the Live Action Little Mermaid? I sure don't recall it here on TrekBBS
But SINCE Momoa has played Aquaman, those racist criticisms are largely gone.
And wouldn't you say Patrick Wilson as Orm looked EXACTLY like what a live action Aquaman "should" look like? (They really should have had himin the orange costume for a bit).
Uh-huh. That's what I thought. Perfectly on-brand.
You weren't having a real discussion, which I expected because for some people any criticism is sacrilege so you just ignore and be condescending whenever someone disagrees with you. If you think I need to eat every ounce of shit to decide it tastes bad, thats a you problem, not a me problem
I bet you love Heroes in Crisis and Batman: The Gift, too.
I remmeber your rants of the then upcoming SHazam movie.... it sure felt like you were waaaaay off on your assessment (i think you even mellowed out yourself, after it actually came out). THIS is what i interpret as "on-brand"
I tried to read it. I got a few pages into the TPB (I checked it out through, I'd never pay money for anything Tom King wrote on general principle) and hated every second of it. I hated the art, the writing, and the story. Its been a bit since I tried it so I can't give you specifics, I read a few pages, glanced over the rest of it, read the last few pages and realized it was just another case of "Tom King writes a garbage story with his OCs and pretends its a DC story because no one would buy his garbage wqithout him stealing popular characters", and returned it. I obviously didn't end up catching comet in the bits I looked at.
Even ignoring all that I know that Tom King is an incompetent jerk who disrespects other writers work constantly, because only his story matters to him and screw everyone else, he should never be allowed to write main continuity stuff. I didn't have to read the book all the way to get that. Literally everything King has ever done is terrible, even if I hadn't seen a panel of his Supergirl story I'd still know it was bad, having tried to read it and have read some plot stuff online just shows what kind of bad it is.
Also, you seem to worship the guy, so you don't really have room to talk about prejudices. I hate Tom King because everything I've seen and read of his, partially or completely, has been absolute garbage. I don't need to read every panel of everything he does to judge it.
A lot of extreme accusations... can you be more specific? Like King being a jerk, or disrespecting others? I don't have time to research, so just give a couple of examples. I know a few people here are fans, and that's why they are excited about SUpergirl.
I doubt if Gary Oldman finds his role as the foul-mouthed (and foul smelling!) slovenly, flatulent Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses to be as challenging as the ones where he’s gone method to imitate real people, has been under loads of latex, has gained weight, shaved his head, etc. However, he is clearly having a ball and it is one of the most entertaining performances of his career and of the last few years in any genre.
Excellent example -- that's the type of thing i expect to see with Lobo.
Unfortunately, irony, sarcasm, and deadpan humor don't come across well through text alone.
That must be why we often have to remind you they our previous post was a joke, and have to explain why. But for a writer, that should NOT be a problem to understand, as depending on the book, those might be tools you employ.
I don't understand what you're trying to say. You can't possibly be right [/sarcasm]
So is Batman already cast in the DCU or nah?
My theory is that since Joker 2 bombed so bad, Zaslav is NOT willing to risk another Elseworld movie. He wants momentum to make lots of money. He hopefully saw and understood the failure of The Flash and Aquaman 2.
I personally think they are trying to hold off of anything until they see the results of Superman. If it does poorly, they will go ahead and continue its independent theme, of just Batman within his universe. If SUperman does well, i think they will restructure it to be inserted into the new DCOU.
With Supergirl, so does it seem like they will have the casting all done by the time Superman comes out? And maybe the script? If so, i can see them announcing Supergirl to be the next big production after Superman, with an announcement of Batman 2 relatively soon after.
