better yet, you can play with it if you wish

He is really handsome, even with this haircut

I am disappointed in you.
You should have said:
“I can hear Asston’s hole…”

He started feeling himself after his role in Shallow Hal. The ensuing fame hunger was to be expected.

That’s exactly what I meant. Logan is the first X film I missed. I know I need to catch that soon. I did also see the Ed Norton Hulk.

These movies are just too numerous now. I don’t even consider myself a Marvel guy. I grew up on DC.

It was a Tony Robbins seminar.

I’m hard on him because I love him. Anyway, you don’t hear me complaining about his wet shirtless pajama scene in Amityville, do you?

Lol. A question needed to be answered. No apologies.

I kept thinking there was a character in the MCU who had been recast, but I couldn’t remember who it was until you made this list. I was thinking of Bruce Banner being played by Ruffalo and Norton. I think the failures of the Norton and Bana Hulks are why Marvel/Disney is so scared to do another solo Hulk film. They’re probably testing the waters with Hulk’s inclusion in Thor: Ragnarok.

I doubt Ryan read that script and envisioned the final product would be a cartoony CGI mess. I can’t fault him for going after a big budget movie based on a hugely popular character. Green Lantern was less of a risk than RIPD. And if we’re going to say Ryan sold out, then his big name costars (Peter Sarsgaard, Tim Robbins, Michael Clarke Duncan, Angela Bassett and Geoffrey Rush) are sellouts too. All talented, accomplished actors and they all agreed to be in this movie. That’s saying something about what their expectations were.

The cutout is a horrible choice for anyone, and it does Will (and the viewers!) no favors.

What are you trying to convince me of? That he read that script and said, “I believe in this?” A comic book role with garbage writing and a 200 million dollar budget is the opposite of taking a risk. It’s selling out.

Sometimes you have to take risks. Like Chris Pratt with GotG. Few people expected that movie to be the massive hit it was. Even fans of the Guardians comics.

My point is that these actors need to be more discerning. Green Lantern had no shot at becoming a franchise because it was a steaming pile of shit. And I WAS ROOTING FOR HIM, TIFFANY!! HOW DARE HE!!

That Green Lantern had no chance of becoming a franchise, especially now with the JL and a new GL on the horizon. But ignoring that aspect, I don’t think most people have trouble with cross-pollination. Harrison Ford can be Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Hugo Weaving can be Agent Smith and Elrond and Megatron. If you’re looking at a film and thinking about some other character an actor played, then that actor isn’t doing his or her job. Deadpool was a huge gamble for many reasons other than Ryan’s comic book movie past. But it paid off and reignited his career. If an actor is perfect for a part, that usually carries more weight than that person having played a fan favorite.

Well, you raise another concern which is that even though it’s not completely fucked up for Ryan Reynolds to be in both Marvel and DC, that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for either his career or their franchises. Imagine William Shatner trying to be Hans Solo or Ricardo Montelban as General Zod?

I guess since those FF movies and the MCU aren’t in the same continuity it doesn’t really bother me. Same goes for Blade. Or Ryan also playing Green Lantern. The Quicksilver issue is stickier, because they had two actors playing the same character in different continuities released at the same time.

Then it’s a yes. I don’t grant business exemptions. Somebody better get started writing some Earth 1, Earth 2 shit so this casting can make sense.

If it’s two actors playing the same character, I’m fine. I don’t think Garfield is an aging Peter Parker in Tom’s world. But if it’s the same actor playing two characters, nossir. God only knows whether Stan Lee was supposed to be the same person each time!
