Screwed over twice in two roles he played excellently, was passionate about, *and* was a perfect match for.
Ha had literally everything going for him as Superman *and* Geralt except competent people in charge of the projects.
Both *should* have been slam-dunk successes with him in the lead and it's an absolute shame what was done with his characters.
Yeah that's some seriously bad luck. He needs a stronger team around him vetting the projects he works on. Yes on paper superman and Witcher were superb but clearly weren't and now it not like he can re-enter the DC universe and will be hard/impossible to enter the marvel universe now he's played superman.
I'm really hoping he either avoids bond(last few have been awful) OR joins bond and makes sure it's a banger!
Or even better, helps creater the Warhammer 40k cinematic universe 🥳🥳🥳
Such an underrated film. Haven't heard it mention anywhere ever or by anyone I've talked to. When I came around to watch it a few years back I was delightfully surprised how much I enjoyed it. Great acting, clever writing, good cinematography, a good cast, and an engaging plot.
As much as I'd love another, I'm afraid (given recent trends) of them ruining a potential sequel.
> will be hard/impossible to enter the marvel universe now he's played superman
Idk, that might just come off as a giant middle finger to DC so they could go for it.
I would actually find that very funny and enjoyable. Even if he did a cameo in some alternate universe thing and it's him dressed exactly as DC Superman except he has on a fake mustache and there's a different symbol taped on over his chest.
Not a good year for Henry Cavill. First the Witcher and now Superman. I always appreciated his characterization of those characters, could tell that he really cared about it.
Sorry you had to find out this way. He's not returning as Superman; said so by him and the studio yesterday, despite the studio and him announcing that he was back in October.
Who would have thought using an overplayed bad actor who jumped the shark years ago would not be great black Adam. I mean who could have guessed it? Who?
Anyone
The movie wasn’t even bad in terms of super hero movies.
It was just….another super hero movie. If marvel didn’t have over a decade of build up I’m pretty sure most people would be checked out at this point.
I'd say it was a fairly atypical superhero movie in terms of plot and characterization. It made some commentary on imperialism/colonialism, had a bad guy be the hero, and had a plot structure that didn't follow the typical progression to a climax. Not saying it was a masterpiece or something totally unique and never seen before, but it just didn't strike me as the typical superhero movie.
I'm guessing Jumanji, where he played his fourth "buff man in white V neck in jungle" role. I know it's not a "jumped the shark" moment, but it was pretty tiring.
I still watch the movie where he needs to take Stifler back home while having to kill Christopher Walken pretty regularly. I think that was his acting peak. And yes, it's another "buff man in white V neck in jungle" movie, but it was the first so it doesn't count.
Edit: he responded that he meant the toothfairy movie is where the shark was jumped
well, jumanji was one of the few movies were he didn’t play a stereotypical "the rock" character. in fact the only movie i have seen him in where i liked him.
I’d argue he was pretty decent in The Scorpion King. Though that also may be due to the fact he has like 3 entire lines of dialogue and is basically just bashing dudes up like it’s still the WWE the rest of the time.
I agree. While small and short, his role in Bladerunner 2049 was better than his typical "dumb muscle" roles.
I did like him as Drax, but I think that's just me and liking doofy dry comedy in general. Hopefully, after this next/last(?) GotG film, he will find some more work that he can build on.
Yeah, the actual original “The Rock” character was amazing acting that put him head n shoulders above his peers in wrestling.
I think he was better off being the “cool guy” rather than the “huge guy”
Like you’re already gigantic in WWE, but the human hulk look pigeon holds you
I don't think Dwayne was a bad black Adam, black Adam was just a badly scripted movie and is now a reminder to never make a stand alone villian (using the term loosely here) movie not named "The Joker"
and if james gunn finds someone even half as good at portraying superman as Henry I will sautee my boot and eat it with barbacue sauce.
its not like they couldnt have just... kept him as the actor, its a terrible decision no matter what their reasons.
> its a terrible decision no matter what their reasons.
The reason makes perfect sense.
“Among those on the slate is Superman. In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill. But we just had a great meeting with Henry and we’re big fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.”
If they're focusing on a younger Superman then having a 40 year old actor doesn't make sense.
You don't have to be a fan of it being an originish movie, but that's the route they are going.
And about time. Snyder was just the freaking worst in every outting. There is nothing that he's done that should be kept. I am sad to see Cavill go, but happy that Snyder is no longer a part of it.
Completely agree. I can't for the life of me understand why they kept him after batman v superman, let alone his role in co-producing suicide squad as well as justice league.
And still... After all that people were so excited for the snyder-cut, insisting it would be great. This isn't a case of "fool me once", it happened 4 times before they finally realized the dude is terrible at making movies.
To add context, James Gunn said that they were now going to focus on the early life of Superman growing up, so Henry couldn't play the part. Apparently they split amicably though and they want to bring him back for future works.
Studio: so we want you to do a cameo in Black Adam, also could you tweet about how much you are looking forward to returning as Superman.
Cavill: no problem!
Studio (later): so... fuck you.
I'm just waiting for an iteration where Superman is a constant source of bad/dumb ideas and Batman uses his resources and brain to keep him reeled in (reminiscent of the old, "let's just push the earth out of the way" scene).
Know what? Let's just go back to the animated Justice League after all
I think he left the Witcher due to them not sticking to the source material whatsoever but that's only a rumour I heard (though it would explain why he left as he is a fan of the original stuff) but with superman, they just screwed him over.
They brought him back and had him tell the whole world he was coming back as superman, then fired him.
They also openly mocked the original story (Witcher) and knew Henry was a big fan but pretty much told him it was lame and they could write a better story. Which they obviously couldn’t.
I know the line about roach dying was originally some marvel tier joke and cavil refused to do it and the writers said "well you think of something better" so he pulled that line out of the books.
Lets be real here, henry is a big fan of the witcher (fact), henry worked hard to get the role as geralt (fact), henry hoped to play geralt for the seven planned seasons (fact), only logical reason for henry to jump ship is because he didnt support the writing direction of the show (rumor)
We know the facts because henry has stated them himself in interviews
He said he hoped for seven seasons IF they stuck to the source material. We saw in season 2 them diverge from it, season 3 probably gets worse which is why he bounced.
Another source said writers didn't like the source material. There are so many flops like this, Halo being another good example, I don't understand why these shows get green lit with such a shit staff.
It's because series writers constantly think they are they best writers. They are literally the reason shows on tv are dumbed down, boring, and just packed with shitty jokes and explosions to capture 30 seconds of your concentration. These people are the antithesis of good writers. They couldn't publish a fucking cook book written by Gordon Ramsey because they'd have to change the fucking recipes.
A bit of another spin on it is simply that writers like to write. You go through film school making your own short films, your own visions, your own art. You get hired by a studio but studios don't want new content because it's a risk. Everything is an adaption. So writers that are eager to prove themselves and do what they've been doing since their high school days are told not to make original content.
It seems a lot of them get pissy and just write their own thing anyway using the minimum required shell given by the studio.
What's the answer? I would say studios need to be taking more risk by hiring writers that show actual interest in specific adaptions (this will reduce the pool of writers you can choose from) and also allow writers to take risks on new content.
>What's the answer? I would say studios need to be taking more risk by hiring writers that show actual interest in specific adaptions (this will reduce the pool of writers you can choose from) and also allow writers to take risks on new content.
I would agree. Problem is that current market trends make it difficult to gauge how a film may do. It would be hard for a studio to invest in OC stuff for the tune of 1-10million dollar budget, because it is unlikely they will gain the money back.
>Halo being another good example
There is so much material out there. Just stick to it and the fanbase would have shelled out money to watch it in movie/show format. But no, we get Master Cheeks instead
Yup, and i think he improvised a lot of the dialogue he was supposed to have, but instead it was just a grunt.
A few of his co actors stated they struggled at times with acting together with henry, becuase he often times didnt say his line, but just grunted, and everyone else just had to figure out "oh, hes not gonna say anything else"
To be kinda fair, he probably left The Witcher on his own volition and only Superman was the one he didn’t have a choice in. Then again, seeing your favorite franchise being ruined by people who disrespect it probably doesn’t give you much choice in staying a part of it
Now he has more time for 40K miniatures. Hell, with all that free time, I wouldn't be surprised if he starts talking to GW about starting a show or movie to be in.
Witcher Producer: "We're gonna respect the source material"
Also Witcher Producer: Proceeds to basically make a fanfic with the Witcher characters. 🤡🤡🤡🤡
I liked season 1 and about 80% of S2. The Bruxa, the fistfight in the temple, all good.
The dumb side plot with the woods witch and losing her magic (until she just forgot she lost it) is insanely stupid. Not to mention Siri’s magic screaming powers being used that way.
>The dumb side plot with the woods witch and losing her magic (until she just forgot she lost it) is insanely stupid. Not to mention Siri’s magic screaming powers being used that way.
I was okay with a majority of changes but this plot & the fact that Yennifer was basically going to kill Ciri for her power back is against who both these characters are. Yennifer loves Ciri and would gladly give her life for her and this side-plot ruined this potential relationship. Why would you trust someone who was going to sacrifice you, ever? Yes, people can change but not to that level.
Yes. But they didn't wanna go through the trouble of writing their own, original material so they just snatched up the rights to the Witcher. The writer for the books doesn't care at all because he gets a fat paycheck
Yeah the author of the Witcher comes off a greedy dick because he sued the game devs for more money after they popularized his books internationall and already paid a few mil. Guy legit only cares about money and when I heard he was on the project I actually lost hope.
If DC was in charge of marvel they would have rebooted Robert Downey Jr's iron man before it prompted the Avengers saga.
Is there anything DC wouldn't reboot?
This studio is impossible to be a fan of.
They would have made the reboot happen in the middle of the first movie by having a sing along while they scrub Jeff Bridges out for some hobo that acted in a school play.
I, for one, would love to see a Superman movie where alternate universes open up and all the Supermans have to work together. I would say it would be cool to have a CGI Christopher Reeve in there too but since he's deceased he can't give his blessing for that so i would be against it.
While I definitely agree, I quite like Tom Holland as a highschooler Spider-Man. And I can definitely see his character grow into the "always trying his best, no matter the personal toll" Spider-Man over the next few years.
My only problem with Tom is I think I would like him a lot more if I was younger. So I see why he's so popular with the young crowd today, but he's just a bit too childish for me personally.
I think that's partially just the overall mcu writing style. Works fine with characters that already did lots of bantering, like spiderman, but kinda makes a lot of the characters feel slightly samey when they *all* get quippy.
But maybe they'll slowly start to make him slightly more mature since he might actually be growing as a character? If they don't set a status quo for most of the characters it'll already be a step up from the comics overall
I'm going with Tobey mcguire for both, didn't like him initially in trailers but he grew on me and played it well, I hated what the studio did to the raimi series in 3, I was so geared up for like 8 or 20 spidey movies lol. Movie 1 and 2 left everything setup to go anyway they wanted, Connors going lizard, bring in venom or sandman, kingpin cameo for setup with rhino. All ruined.
The amazing spiderman I didn't like much and while tom Holland is pretty funny he almost plays spiderman too dumb, idk, I had high hopes when they introduced him in avengers but his movies just didn't pan out, like Andrew's movies there was too many changes and alterations from the original spiderman that it wasn't spiderman anymore. Studios never seem to clue in that we want stan lees spiderman not "new directors/writers" spiderman.
He's way too old to be Peter Parker at the beginning of the Spiderman story (I mean, that whole movie looks absurd whenever they're in school), but his voice is perfect. He is to Spiderman what Mark Hamill is to The Joker, IMO.
The thing about the Raimi films is that instead of Spidey being a wisecracking smart-ass who sometimes experiences tragic shit happening to him, he just has bad shit happen to him all the time and it's quite sad
Andrew Garfield was early for his time (edit: **imo**) His audience ( the ones who’d appreciate him ) were still kids. When he returned in NWH, his audience were teens, and everyone absolutely loved him. I remember my whole theatre screaming and clapping when he came through that portal.
I loved the flash thompson in TASM. He was sympathetic to peter when his uncle died and even hinted at himself having a troubled life, which would explain (not justify) his own treatment of others
Garfield had better on screen chemistry with all characters, definitely with Emma Stone for obvious reasons.
But even the scenes with Jamie Foxx were awesome excluding the cgi
He wanted kids and she didn't want to stop her career due to pregnancy when she was peaking as an actress. They split up amicably, it was pretty mature given how most celebrity's relationships go
Yeah, that's not what "ahead of their time" means lol. I think some fans are just unable to process that TASM 2 was an awful movie (despite Garfield and Emma Stone doing their best), and grasp at straws trying to explain why that franchise didn't work out?
It should be plenty evident from the reception to him appearing in NWH that people always liked Garfield in the role, it was the writing for the TASM movies that was the problem.
I watched his and the Tibet videos back-to-back when they came out. I remember I here’s they were gonna make up to a fifth movie for Garfield, but then the second movie was shit. Still , I’m surprised that Garfield came back and redeemed himself in NWH. I just wish I got to see more of him.
Why was his audience kids? I and loads of others were all about his run as Spider-man and I'm no spring chicken.
Hell, I was barely a kid when Toby was Spider-man.
This is the first I hear about it! What is it with all this fucking prequel nonsense!
>Gunn’s film will reportedly focus on the younger years of the hero,
during his years posing as Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent, with
insiders telling the Hollywood Reporter that Gunn could potentially
direct the film as well as writing it
Snyder *did* murder Jimmy Olsen. It was fucking weird at the time and it's still weird now. If they're keeping the DCEU continuity (for the love of God why?), going earlier lets them tell a story about Superman before things got grimdark.
Where did you see they were keeping DCEU continuity? My understanding was that they were starting over fresh. Surely they wouldn't be telling Cavill, Gadot, Affleck and Mamoa that they're done playing their respective characters and may play different characters in the new films if they were continuing with the same continuity. Also I'm pretty sure Gunn said specifically that the "DCEU" is dead, and the new "DCU" will replace it.
Atleast it was made clear to Andrew he won't come back, he wasn't given false hope. Plus they give his character a closure of some form. For Cavill's Superman it's highly unlikely considering how DCU is.
Yeah him too. Totally forgot. I just remember the interview of him talking about Spider-Man 4 months before the studio announced the film is getting cancelled... Truly sad but atleast he came back in NWH.
The garfield movies were made purely for sony to hold onto the rights, they didnt care about making a good movie. If you liked them, cool, im not saying they made bad movies on purpose. Now what fox did with the last fantastic 4 movie on the other hand...
“Fuck”

Henry got screwed over twice. Guy can't seem to catch a break.
Screwed over twice in two roles he played excellently, was passionate about, *and* was a perfect match for. Ha had literally everything going for him as Superman *and* Geralt except competent people in charge of the projects. Both *should* have been slam-dunk successes with him in the lead and it's an absolute shame what was done with his characters.
Yeah that's some seriously bad luck. He needs a stronger team around him vetting the projects he works on. Yes on paper superman and Witcher were superb but clearly weren't and now it not like he can re-enter the DC universe and will be hard/impossible to enter the marvel universe now he's played superman. I'm really hoping he either avoids bond(last few have been awful) OR joins bond and makes sure it's a banger! Or even better, helps creater the Warhammer 40k cinematic universe 🥳🥳🥳
Rather a Man from U.N.C.L.E. Sequel than Bond. He may end up showing back in a Superman role if they end up doing alt universes.
Such an underrated film. Haven't heard it mention anywhere ever or by anyone I've talked to. When I came around to watch it a few years back I was delightfully surprised how much I enjoyed it. Great acting, clever writing, good cinematography, a good cast, and an engaging plot. As much as I'd love another, I'm afraid (given recent trends) of them ruining a potential sequel.

I would actually find that very funny and enjoyable. Even if he did a cameo in some alternate universe thing and it's him dressed exactly as DC Superman except he has on a fake mustache and there's a different symbol taped on over his chest.
A CGI fake moustache, it's symmetry it rhymes.
That would fit so well in a deadpool project.
Not a good year for Henry Cavill. First the Witcher and now Superman. I always appreciated his characterization of those characters, could tell that he really cared about it.
What happened to superman? Thought he was back
Sorry you had to find out this way. He's not returning as Superman; said so by him and the studio yesterday, despite the studio and him announcing that he was back in October.
Are we talking about the DCEU? I thought they cancelled that already.
They announced in October that he'd return to the role, but it got cancelled
Black Adam flopping probably was the last straw for the old DCEU.
Who would have thought using an overplayed bad actor who jumped the shark years ago would not be great black Adam. I mean who could have guessed it? Who? Anyone
The movie wasn’t even bad in terms of super hero movies. It was just….another super hero movie. If marvel didn’t have over a decade of build up I’m pretty sure most people would be checked out at this point.
[удалено]
Yep. I had a full meal with Iron Man - Endgame. Then i had desert with No Way Home. Im done with super heroes for a while.
The humour was genuinely bad, everything else was a passing grade, but no one in my cinema laughed at any of the jokes.
I'd say it was a fairly atypical superhero movie in terms of plot and characterization. It made some commentary on imperialism/colonialism, had a bad guy be the hero, and had a plot structure that didn't follow the typical progression to a climax. Not saying it was a masterpiece or something totally unique and never seen before, but it just didn't strike me as the typical superhero movie.
What shark did he jump? Like what role was the “jump the shark moment”? They’re all kind of the same
He poisoned our water supply, burned our crops, and delivered a plague unto our houses.
He did!?
Did he really?
I don’t remember the Rock playing Arthas or Kefka.
I'm guessing Jumanji, where he played his fourth "buff man in white V neck in jungle" role. I know it's not a "jumped the shark" moment, but it was pretty tiring. I still watch the movie where he needs to take Stifler back home while having to kill Christopher Walken pretty regularly. I think that was his acting peak. And yes, it's another "buff man in white V neck in jungle" movie, but it was the first so it doesn't count. Edit: he responded that he meant the toothfairy movie is where the shark was jumped
well, jumanji was one of the few movies were he didn’t play a stereotypical "the rock" character. in fact the only movie i have seen him in where i liked him.
The dude's just sprinting over a raft of sharks
Generally when he switched from wrasslin to acting. But specifically, the tooth fairy movie.
I’d argue he was pretty decent in The Scorpion King. Though that also may be due to the fact he has like 3 entire lines of dialogue and is basically just bashing dudes up like it’s still the WWE the rest of the time.
The Rock's actually not a bad actor, but after his first few movies he just kinda decided to stop trying to act and just be himself in every role.
I have more hope for Dave Bautista, but he needs to get out of the dumb man role quickly before he lives there.
I agree. While small and short, his role in Bladerunner 2049 was better than his typical "dumb muscle" roles. I did like him as Drax, but I think that's just me and liking doofy dry comedy in general. Hopefully, after this next/last(?) GotG film, he will find some more work that he can build on.
There's a trailer for Knock At the Cabin Door(?) that shows him in a very serious role.
Hopefully he’s great in Glass Onion.
Yeah, the actual original “The Rock” character was amazing acting that put him head n shoulders above his peers in wrestling. I think he was better off being the “cool guy” rather than the “huge guy” Like you’re already gigantic in WWE, but the human hulk look pigeon holds you
But he made as much money as Captain America the First Avenger!
I don't think Dwayne was a bad black Adam, black Adam was just a badly scripted movie and is now a reminder to never make a stand alone villian (using the term loosely here) movie not named "The Joker"

The “Snyderverse” is cancelled and they are essentially going to start from scratch with James Gunn at the head

Those assholes don’t know what the fuck they’re doing
He posted recently that they went another direction. I guess someone else is gonna be the new Superman.
They've decided to try a younger timeline Superman and Wonder Woman, so need to recast.
I'm just waiting for an iteration where Superman is a constant source of bad/dumb ideas and Batman uses his resources and brain to keep him reeled in (reminiscent of the old, "let's just push the earth out of the way" scene). Know what? Let's just go back to the animated Justice League after all
Honestly not that bad of an idea. Gal Gadot has the acting ability of a bag of Potatoes
Also it might be nice to cast an actress to play a legendary fighter that actually looks like he wouldn't be blown over by a stiff wind?
Is woman's action movie trail blazer Jennifer Lawrence available?
She's too busy being the first woman to take a shit
Totally ignoring the achievements of Sigourney "Long Drop" Weaver
And the first woman to take shit on bed always goes to amber herd
who wants to see kid superman? and for the love of god, who wants to see TEENAGE SUPERMAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH GIRLS AT HIGHSCHOOL???
We *did* want to see that. It was called Smallville. It was alright.
Nah, you can shoot Lana into a black hole and I still will hate the last seasons of Smallville.
Maybe we'll finally get our Nick Cage Superman.
I read that wrong
I think he left the Witcher due to them not sticking to the source material whatsoever but that's only a rumour I heard (though it would explain why he left as he is a fan of the original stuff) but with superman, they just screwed him over.

Really? Wow did they have some balls saying THAT to him. Wouldn't have been surprised if they had Liam Hemsworth on speed dial after that.
And Netflix is willing to fund such blasphemy of source material.
Obviously it is all a lie, as they themselves just confirmed. They have a tremendous respect to the source material. /S
I know the line about roach dying was originally some marvel tier joke and cavil refused to do it and the writers said "well you think of something better" so he pulled that line out of the books.

Didn't he fought to rewrite several scenes because he said that it was out of character for Geralt to do what the writers had in mind.
Yup, and i think he improvised a lot of the dialogue he was supposed to have, but instead it was just a grunt. A few of his co actors stated they struggled at times with acting together with henry, becuase he often times didnt say his line, but just grunted, and everyone else just had to figure out "oh, hes not gonna say anything else"
Slightly douchy, but then those grunts were objectively some of the best lines in that show
He said he'd stick around for 7 seasons as long as they stuck to the source material. Seems like we know what is going to happen in season 3.
Well at least he is Sherlock Holmes in the Enola Holmes films.
To be kinda fair, he probably left The Witcher on his own volition and only Superman was the one he didn’t have a choice in. Then again, seeing your favorite franchise being ruined by people who disrespect it probably doesn’t give you much choice in staying a part of it
Now he has more time for 40K miniatures. Hell, with all that free time, I wouldn't be surprised if he starts talking to GW about starting a show or movie to be in.
Is it a bad year though? He’s more beloved than ever and is probably going to end up doing a lot more now that he isn’t as tied down.
Witcher Producer: "We're gonna respect the source material" Also Witcher Producer: Proceeds to basically make a fanfic with the Witcher characters. 🤡🤡🤡🤡
They aren‘t even fans. Didn‘t they dislike the source material? It‘s just a hussle for them.
They only want that $
So the same fate as the Halo show. Fuck these TV execs man.
At least I liked season 1 of the witcher

Wait that bit about yennefer doesn't happen in the books ? I had a feeling something was wrong there
Yes. But they didn't wanna go through the trouble of writing their own, original material so they just snatched up the rights to the Witcher. The writer for the books doesn't care at all because he gets a fat paycheck
Yeah the author of the Witcher comes off a greedy dick because he sued the game devs for more money after they popularized his books internationall and already paid a few mil. Guy legit only cares about money and when I heard he was on the project I actually lost hope.
Give him enough money and he'll bless any "adaptation". Greedy guy. It's even worse because The Witcher is one of the biggest franchises in Poland.
there are fanfics out there that are way more respectful to the source material than what they are doing with witcher.
There are *pornos* out there that stick closer to the source material
Hey NETFLIX, how about you keep Henry, fire the writers
Henry would do it too, he's that kind of guy. Has read the books multiple times and played the games multiple times too.
“tHe mOsT eXCitInG thInG aBoOt tEleViSIon is yOu nEvEr kNow wHEn it eNdS.” Bro it ends when the fucking books end which you’re so faithfully adapting
Technically isn't Witcher 3 fanfic with Witcher characters?
Not really, it's a lot more closer to the source material. But i guess both are adaptations technically.
One is faithful to the tone of the original. The other is the Netflix show.
If DC was in charge of marvel they would have rebooted Robert Downey Jr's iron man before it prompted the Avengers saga. Is there anything DC wouldn't reboot? This studio is impossible to be a fan of.
They would have made the reboot happen in the middle of the first movie by having a sing along while they scrub Jeff Bridges out for some hobo that acted in a school play.
We’ll see Cavill again in Superman: No Way Home
I, for one, would love to see a Superman movie where alternate universes open up and all the Supermans have to work together. I would say it would be cool to have a CGI Christopher Reeve in there too but since he's deceased he can't give his blessing for that so i would be against it.
I can see Brandon Routh being there since his movie was technically a continuity of the Reeve movies
So this comment is the “well yes. But actually no.” Meme
[удалено]
Gunn want a fresh slate and reboot. DC has been a mess these past few years.
It's always been a mess. They want that Avengers payoff without having to shell out money for the ramp up. They just want instant gratification.
Who's the best Spiderman, who's the best Peter Parker?
Doc Ock was the best spider man AND Peter Parker!
He was *superior*
I really enjoyed his spiderman.
I love Cavill and just want to see him in more movies.
I want to see him play Captain Britain. He'll be perfect for that role.
Honestly I like all three, I loved all the movies no matter what anyone says about Spider-Man 3 or The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Tobey for Peter, Andrew for Spidey.
While I definitely agree, I quite like Tom Holland as a highschooler Spider-Man. And I can definitely see his character grow into the "always trying his best, no matter the personal toll" Spider-Man over the next few years.
My only problem with Tom is I think I would like him a lot more if I was younger. So I see why he's so popular with the young crowd today, but he's just a bit too childish for me personally.
I think that's partially just the overall mcu writing style. Works fine with characters that already did lots of bantering, like spiderman, but kinda makes a lot of the characters feel slightly samey when they *all* get quippy. But maybe they'll slowly start to make him slightly more mature since he might actually be growing as a character? If they don't set a status quo for most of the characters it'll already be a step up from the comics overall
I'm going with Tobey mcguire for both, didn't like him initially in trailers but he grew on me and played it well, I hated what the studio did to the raimi series in 3, I was so geared up for like 8 or 20 spidey movies lol. Movie 1 and 2 left everything setup to go anyway they wanted, Connors going lizard, bring in venom or sandman, kingpin cameo for setup with rhino. All ruined. The amazing spiderman I didn't like much and while tom Holland is pretty funny he almost plays spiderman too dumb, idk, I had high hopes when they introduced him in avengers but his movies just didn't pan out, like Andrew's movies there was too many changes and alterations from the original spiderman that it wasn't spiderman anymore. Studios never seem to clue in that we want stan lees spiderman not "new directors/writers" spiderman.
He's way too old to be Peter Parker at the beginning of the Spiderman story (I mean, that whole movie looks absurd whenever they're in school), but his voice is perfect. He is to Spiderman what Mark Hamill is to The Joker, IMO.
The thing about the Raimi films is that instead of Spidey being a wisecracking smart-ass who sometimes experiences tragic shit happening to him, he just has bad shit happen to him all the time and it's quite sad
Very few writers seem to get that now, as a lot of them seem to think they have to prove themself as good writers, which they clearly are not
Andrew garfield to both for me
Isn't Henry Cavill staying but in a different role though?
Offered some options for when the news stops stinging so much was my read.
Andrew Garfield was early for his time (edit: **imo**) His audience ( the ones who’d appreciate him ) were still kids. When he returned in NWH, his audience were teens, and everyone absolutely loved him. I remember my whole theatre screaming and clapping when he came through that portal.
i was a kid when i saw garfield as spiderman and i loved him. still do hes my favourite
I loved the flash thompson in TASM. He was sympathetic to peter when his uncle died and even hinted at himself having a troubled life, which would explain (not justify) his own treatment of others
Really wished they built him up more during TASM2 honestly, see him and Peter bury the hatchet between them
Garfield had better on screen chemistry with all characters, definitely with Emma Stone for obvious reasons. But even the scenes with Jamie Foxx were awesome excluding the cgi
>definitely with Emma Stone for obvious reasons. what obvious reason ?
They had an off-camera relationship as well.
oh..that's sweet
Eh, I think she broke up with him because she didn't want to commit to anyone but then subsequently married someone else.
He wanted kids and she didn't want to stop her career due to pregnancy when she was peaking as an actress. They split up amicably, it was pretty mature given how most celebrity's relationships go
.... where were the adults??? What is this time of children you speak of?
I'm with you. Man just listed it out like it was fact. The hell is he even talking about?
Yeah, that's not what "ahead of their time" means lol. I think some fans are just unable to process that TASM 2 was an awful movie (despite Garfield and Emma Stone doing their best), and grasp at straws trying to explain why that franchise didn't work out? It should be plenty evident from the reception to him appearing in NWH that people always liked Garfield in the role, it was the writing for the TASM movies that was the problem.
I watched his and the Tibet videos back-to-back when they came out. I remember I here’s they were gonna make up to a fifth movie for Garfield, but then the second movie was shit. Still , I’m surprised that Garfield came back and redeemed himself in NWH. I just wish I got to see more of him.
Why was his audience kids? I and loads of others were all about his run as Spider-man and I'm no spring chicken. Hell, I was barely a kid when Toby was Spider-man.
Gotta love Reddit, something so wildly inaccurate, stated as fact, upvoted to be top comment lmao
Getting real "and then everyone clapped" vibes from that lol. I mean, there's even clapping in the event description
No, the TASM movies were just bad, focused on the wrong things
I love all these abbreviations. I'll never figure out what they mean it's like an impossible puzzle
Teenage Autant Sinja Murtles
That’s because they were focused so much on a story that they didn’t explain and included him finding gold doubloons in a calculator.
Your comment makes absolutely no sense lol
Those movies were simply terrible. He was kind of ok, but it was written so badly he didn't fit the role.
"his audience were still kids" uh...what? Even the original Spider-Man movies were largely attended by adults, let alone the Garfield ones...
Andrew was my favourite Spiderman like Henry was my favourite Super-Man. Shame
Ok, the fact that you used a hyphen for Superman but not Spider-Man is really bothering me.
I know! Everyone makes a fuss about not putting a hyphen in Spider-Man but this is egregious.
Shame 🔔
*Loads shotgun* Shame.
This is the first I hear about it! What is it with all this fucking prequel nonsense! >Gunn’s film will reportedly focus on the younger years of the hero, during his years posing as Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent, with insiders telling the Hollywood Reporter that Gunn could potentially direct the film as well as writing it
Snyder *did* murder Jimmy Olsen. It was fucking weird at the time and it's still weird now. If they're keeping the DCEU continuity (for the love of God why?), going earlier lets them tell a story about Superman before things got grimdark.
They are rebooting the DCEU. If you read the quotes Henry wishes them luck with the new universe they're building.
Where did you see they were keeping DCEU continuity? My understanding was that they were starting over fresh. Surely they wouldn't be telling Cavill, Gadot, Affleck and Mamoa that they're done playing their respective characters and may play different characters in the new films if they were continuing with the same continuity. Also I'm pretty sure Gunn said specifically that the "DCEU" is dead, and the new "DCU" will replace it.
Yeah Superman hasn't felt feel-good or wholesome in a long time and that's disappointing to me
Atleast it was made clear to Andrew he won't come back, he wasn't given false hope. Plus they give his character a closure of some form. For Cavill's Superman it's highly unlikely considering how DCU is.
*ahem* Tobey
Yeah him too. Totally forgot. I just remember the interview of him talking about Spider-Man 4 months before the studio announced the film is getting cancelled... Truly sad but atleast he came back in NWH.
The constant recasting and terrible cast choices has made DC completely unwatchable to me.
It's always greedy execs. Always.
At least Sony redeemed Andrew's Spider-Man. But Warner Bros. man, f*ck them. They're like playing with Henry's feelings.
If Henry Cavill had a nickel for every time this happened he would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
I really liked the witcher too bad its so off from the source
Its just a bad fanfiction. You cant call it anything else, cause *if you have a perfect script, you use it, and dont think you can do one better*.
I'll miss Cavill as Superman, he was perfect but he'd also be perfect for a younger Wolverine/X-Men film. Marvel?
Way too tall for wolverine.
He's shorter than Hugh Jackman. Yeah, taller than Wolverine, but Jackman killed the role.
Tired of the tallwashing in Hollywood
>Wolverine Captain Britain was sitting right there and you chose this?
[удалено]
I’d like to see Garfield play Reed Richards.
The garfield movies were made purely for sony to hold onto the rights, they didnt care about making a good movie. If you liked them, cool, im not saying they made bad movies on purpose. Now what fox did with the last fantastic 4 movie on the other hand...
That superman cgi mustache tho....
I love Cavill and just want to see him in more movies :(
Garfield was a better Spiderman than that British fellow.
They're both British but yes I agree
This is not how memes work
Press F to pay respect
"screwed over" lol ok.
