I would watch that over Wandavision
Wandavision was one of the last things Marvel has put out that I honestly enjoyed. It’s been much more rough since (with a couple exclusions, but yeah, downhill trend for me mostly)
I enjoyed Loki. I thought the tone for Hawkeye was a bit off. I was expecting a fun Christmas romp and they randomly drop some serious stuff on you.
Not gonna lie though. I haven’t been to the cinema to watch an MCU movie in a while. Shang Chi was the last one, I think? Dr Strange, and Thor getting a critically poor reception made me skip them. Gotg3 did well but now I feel like I gotta do homework to catch up so I couldn’t be arsed.
I agree with the downhill trend. I am looking forward to catching The Marvels though because it looks like fun.
I don’t like any Marvel stuff but Wandavision was pretty good, until they Marvelled all over it in the last few episodes.
Make it a movie or series and I’ll watch it. Only problem Henry Cavil isn’t good in comedies
He might still fit because you would think clark Kent’s humour would be very dry and mostly rely on timing. The contrast would be great having the silliness come from the CIA characters who could be extremely animated and frustrated. I can only imagine the scenes about the CIA agents trying to explain to their boss why they keep failing
Directed by Wes Anderson, with Jason Schwartzman playing Superman/Clark Kent, Saoirse Ronan as Lois Lane, Bill Murray playing Perry White, and Owen Wilson as Luthor. CIA boss played by Jeff Goldblum, vice-President of the USA played by Anjelica Huston, and President not seen on-screen but voice acted by Ira Glass.
The man from uncle was great as he just played a straight face man and the comedic stuff happened around him
Yeah comedy doesn’t need to be about acting funny. Put Jim Carey in the same role and it’s a flop (that the reviews would call being carried by Jim, eh).
Only problem is they wouldn’t be surprised their attempts failed. Nearly everything the CIA touches goes wrong.
They might be surprised when they slip 50x the lethal dose of a toxic only they know about into his food and he doesn’t even notice.
Turns out due to poor inventory management, it expired in 1967 and has degraded to a non-toxic state
This is the first pitch on Reddit or Lemmy in 12 years that is actually good and doable and interesting. Make Lex Luthor one of the assassins in his early days… Yada yada yada
Seeing Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent reminds me how good he was and how I miss him.
I love Cavill but sorry he failed his acting of CK. With or without the costume he plays as Superman.
Still better than Brandon Routhe. Sorry Brandon, I’m sure you’re a nice guy, but your Superman sucked
Nah, Brandon Routhe was fine, it’s just his Superman is written incredibly passive, and he was more or less being told "You’re Christopher Reeves Superman so…do that. We’re not going to give you any material that comes close to what Chris got to work with, but, ya know, still do it. "
It’s just such a bizarrely written movie in the first place, I have trouble blaming anyone in it for their performances. Well… except for that one guy we don’t talk about anymore.
I don’t see the issue with him playing both characters the same. That’s as valid an interpretation as any, and much more in line with modern Superman.
The idea of Clark as a bumbling mild-mannered reporter as part of his disguise is very dated.
That’s a really good point. I didn’t notice until you said it, but yeah, he plays Kent and Superman exactly the same.
but yeah, he plays Kent and Superman exactly the same.
Well it was a more serious movie, for a more serious time, than the original Superman movie, so to expect that kind of goofy Clark Kent type of acting wouldn’t be realistic.
Yeah goofy Clark Kent has not been a thing for a while in Superman media, anyone expecting that in a modern movie is showing their age a bit.
This scene always comes to mind when I think of Reeve’s performance: https://youtube.com/watch?v=tNUu6Lf9mVU
I love Cavill but sorry he failed his acting of CK.
How did he fail? Honestly asking.
Best superman line I’ve seen is from the CW version.
“Hey! Nice suit!”
“Thanks, my mom made it for me!”
Superman and Lois is so underrated. The stigma around the CW DC shows is well earned, but it really doesn’t deserve to be grouped in with them. In fact it made a point of distancing itself from them by explicitly stating it’s not part of the Arrowverse.
There’s a lot going on in that show really doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Particularly watching Clark Kent be a father is aces.
