Blonde short hair, Glen Powell type looking dude.

Why TF would anyone cast Powell as Aquaman? πŸ™„ Lame @ss casting if you ask me and hardly really gels with his acting persona.

I'd much prefer someone in the shape of Alexander Ludwig. Has the looks and profile for Arthur Curry.

It's almost always the ones who have succeeded previously at marvel, this DCU might actually work out. The MCU is still setting the standard though.

Yeah I'd prefer Ludwig too, didn't even think of him before. Although Powell's physique is close to his.

Glenn Powell appears to have transitioned into an industry plant simply because I suggested casting a similar-looking individual for the role of Aquaman? I distinctly recall few months ago, you and your follower Abdul were fervently seeking a role for him in the DCU; another individual even called y'all out on the hype. We are currently in 2025. Are you sure you don't want to drop this unfounded propaganda?

Lol, calm your titties bruh.

I still want him in the DCU but not as Aquaman dude. Casting someone these days isn't all about the looks but if the actor has the talent or range profile to convincingly portray such character to a significant extent...not just casting for the sake of it even if it's just simple fan casting.

I cast who I feel I will be comfortable or happy watching as a character. Not someone who's totally miscast.
Glen Powell would work as a Booster Gold (but seems Kumail Nanjiani got the role), I can see him as Wally West also. Any playful character with guile. He'd have been perfect for Hal Jordan if not for the requirements being older.

After listing the prerequisites for casting, you conclude by expressing a preference for selecting actors based on personal comfort or satisfaction in viewing them. This raises the question: do you adhere to a strict set of criteria that an actor must meet to qualify, or do you rely on your subjective feelings, because facts don't often go hand in hand with feelings? Casting entails all those things you outlined, particularly in scenarios where you possess a certain level of decision-making authority and a board of directors eagerly awaits your input, to regular fans, these factors are unnecessary.

I don't think you truly believe that individuals take their time to deliberate over such nonsense before picking who they like from the convenience of their homes. As you previously characterized it, this process is just "simple fan casting." Moreover, envisioning him portraying Wally West, a character as young as 19-21 in most iterations, while Glenn himself is nearing 40, appears to be a big miscast in my view.

All these ones are just mental gymnastics.

Hal Jordan in the DCU is an older man in his 40s-50s unlike what we have in the comics, despite the fans fury, the producers gave no shΓ―t. What makes you think such changes can't be made in the DCU? And I'm sure I've heard rumors of James Gunn pivoting towards Wally West as the Flash since we've always had Barry in live action. Just as Hal was aged for John Stewart to shine. Wally West could be older if they want him as a main character because in James Gunn new universe, the superhero world is in existence already not just newly formed.

We're fan casting just for fun. Wally wasn't even the only character I listed as who Glen Powell can play. Glen might be in his mid 30s but can easily look and play someone in his mid 20s.

And I'm solely fan casting actors and directors based on their previous projects I've watched and how they performed....seems somehow you missed the context I'm trying to say with someone "I'm comfortable or satisfied viewing". Why would I cast someone in a role I haven't seen a glimmer of competency he/she can perform considerably convincing?? Or you think it's cos someone is a fave actor I just want to cast them in any role?


I don't know why you are seemingly offended just cos someone told you you're miscasting an actor.
You're talking as if anything we say here is seriously considered by the powers that be.
Stop taking things too serious bruh and unclench your @sshole a bit and enjoy the ride.
It ain't that serious.

Mental gymnastics? Excuse me? Believe me, the reasons behind your casting choices and the thought process guiding your decisions are of no concern to me. I stopped to expose the flawed logic you presented only because I was mentioned. Telling me about how fan casting entails this and that but you cast who you've watched before yada yada. I'm very sure I've seen tons of your casting choices I gave no shits about. I don't even know why you'd feel that important on here.

Ironically, the latter segment of your post is even funny to me. Because whilst I'm well aware of my right to cast anybody in any role I want, I didn't even expressly go for Glenn in that post. Since you know how to quote let me remind you that I said "Blonde short hair, Glenn Powell type looking dude." and by that I was implying someone akin to Glenn not Glenn himself. This clarification was further elaborated upon in a subsequent post. Whether you intentionally misconstrued this or you lack basic understanding is also entirely your business. Okay? Hope this sheds light on the root of our ongoing exchange?

Clearly, it seems there's a stick tightly lodged up your @ss with all these histrionics. Ease up. grin

You stated your Glen Powell looking dude and I disagreed because I don't see a Powell look or profile for the character. Going with another actor which you later agreed works better.

Me giving my explanation of my fancasting choices was because you quoted me while responding to purple saying I was hyping up Powell some months back.
So I don't know how it came to that with you yapping about shΓ―t and strawman arguments.

Anyways you do you, cos I don't know where all these ive aggression is coming from. Next time I'll do well to avoid disagreeing with your 'incontestable choices' your Lordship.
Peace. ✌🏽

You disagree because you don't see a Glenn Powell type look or profile, but you chose Alexander Ludwig who shares similar hair length, the same facial structure, hair colour, eye colour and physique type. Both individuals exude a similar attractive, all-American aesthetic, hit the 6-foot mark, and the negligible 4-year age disparity hardly s. Honestly at this point it has come clear to me that you just love getting high off the smell of your own fart. And yes, minding your business when next you have nothing meaningful to contribute to a conversation will be very much appreciated.

Horror film=Nosferatu:the vampyre_1979

When i dey watch the film,the way the 2 characters wey i post their photo dey behave whenever they meet themselves dey always make me

the 2 monickers for this thread grin

Na so horror film take turn into comedy for me cheesy

Lol!
I believe what you are trying to say with this post is,the actors in the film especially those two in the photo were very theatrical in their roles (they were probably theatre actors)that must be why I also found their acting amusing but the film had great sets and cinematography.
If you want to watch a truly horror and disturbing Nosferatu adjacent film,try 2001 Shadow of the Vampire .It focuses on the making of the original 1922 Nosferatu film and its cast and crew especially the director (played by John Malkovich) and Count Orlock (played by Willem Dafoe).The film showcases how the original Count Orlock actor was so intense with his method acting,he behaved and lived like a real vampire throughout the entirety of the film's shoot,the eccentricities of the director and the rampant paranoia and drug use amongst the cast and crew.

Dunno what Snow White is doing there tho. The IP is very popular but I reckon the lead must have damaged some goodwill as well Disney's initial shitty adaptation of the dwarves.

I don't know how these guys churn out this rad numbers for film watch in a year but it's outrageous. Makes me feel grossly underperforming. I watched a meagre 62 movies in 2024. 😭😭

There's a probability tho that they solely or only watch movies instead of mixing it with TV shows.

If I combine my TV series watch hours with films I watched last year then I should at least be around 180 films watched since I watched about 43+ TV shows last year.

I will drop my box office predictions for some of the major movies of 2025 in a few days. I just want to focus on wrapping up many of the 2024 films I haven't watched yet within this first two weeks of January, especially the Awards buzz films.

I've been consuming far too much film and TV news and personal film release schedule analysis I've given little time to actually watching the film and TV shows themselves. I want to reduce that habit this year and improve my film count and reviews significantly.

But for SUPERMAN, I see around a $750mn+ global haul based on the hype and excitement I've seen so far. Before the trailer came out, I pegged it around $650mn. These are conservative numbers tho.
US domestic numbers would be high tho, around $400mn but could go as high as $500mn+ if people really turned up and bought the hype or the new iteration. This domestic number would closely bring the movie to a billion dollar range tho as only the biggest hitters make such haul.

Overseas would make up for the rest. But I see US & Canada being the overwhelming biggest contributor.

Russian market is sorely missed in all these overseas permutations tho.

I'm hoping WB brings their A game in marketing which I'm somewhat seeing. The key to a huge haul and awareness for this movie is I pray and hope WB just this once break tradition and release a trailer at the Superbowl 2025. That already exposes the film to over 120mn US viewers just as Deadpool and Wolverine benefited from. If WB prefers to be WB, at least they should bring back the marketing team behind their biggest hit in years β€” BARBIE.

Anyways, fingers crossed.
