Even if someone did get super ripped to play the role people would still complain. I recall people saying Linda Hamilton was too ripped and it was gross when T2 came out. People will always find something to complain about.

Linda Hamilton helped start a fitness fad in the 80s for women due to T2.

Thanks Linda Hamilton

Well yeah but how many good actresses are also 6ft tool Amazonian War goddesses?

Or more importantly, how many good actresses are willing to be in a Zack Snyder film?

They just got some lady from the Fast and Furious films, let's not pretend they got some great actress and thus had to compromise.

They had to make a lot of sacrifices to get a non-actress who mumbles her lines and doesn't fit the character, okay?

Sacrifices.

This $300,000,000 movie didn't have the luxury of hiring a casting director, okay?

As for Gal Gadot like I said I know there aren't many actresses out there built like the comic book Wonder Woman. I mean it's a comic book after all. She's supposed to be bigger than Batman in the comics. It's a pity Lucy Lawless was born too soon to play the part. (She still looks pretty great for turning 48 today. :kimchi: )

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think they showed the arm growing back, so one can assume the same thing would happen with his head. The better question is why didn't Superman hand her the spear since she could've wielded it even more effectively and without having to die from using it. Superman was a loving sad brains idiot in this film.

It grew back into a bunch of bony shards though. So either you cut the head off and you get a big bony shard that cannot see or hear or think for a head or the head grows a big bony shard out of the neck stump and then you play superhero soccer with it.

I literally expected him to do it or to get to Batman and collapse from the radiation, having Batman spear Doomsday; maybe they'd both do it together, fingers lightly spreading out to touch one another's...

quote:

If fanboys don’t cream to Batman’s dream sequence (“It took me to the lie, a beautiful lie” Wayne says), grown-up gay men surely will. In his dream, Batman wears a leathery mask, hiding his identity, while he is taunted by wasplike creatures and forced to acknowledge Superman’s equivalent virility. This goes beyond Guy Ritchie’s boy-boy teasing in last year’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (which co-starred Cavill). It is the most surreal dominance-submission dream in Hollywood history. But Batman v Superman is also a political allegory, using masculine sex appeal to examine America’s current political confusion. Zack Snyder’s comic book avatars are not for children.

perhaps it isn't just snyder's inability to tell a story, or godot's or cavill's shoddy acting, or the studio's lack of trust and planning in those involved that made the movie what it is. maybe the reason BvS sucks is a combination of factors that worked in tandem to drag down the movie's quality, a perfect storm if you will

regardless, this movie will do well in the box office not because americans are stupid and have no taste, but because the chinese and indians are stupid and have no taste. thanks to the global economy, studios don't have to try anymore because the eastern countries will make up the difference as long as it has explosions and beautiful white people.

The movie would have had to have been 6 hours long in order for Gal Gadot to have had enough lines to judge her acting here. The two dead men from the last movie had more screen time than she did.

The same problem every big idea comic story has. It cannot satisfy itself with a simple exploration of an idea in a tightly constrained narrative. It has to become a bloated over elaborate mythology that stuffs every possible property the company owns into it.

Like, Russian Superman is interesting. Stop there. Superman is Russian, tell that story and stick to that story.

But then we have Russian sympathizer Wonder Woman. And then Russian loving Batman. And then Lex Luthor for some goddamn reason. And then the Green Lantern corps because why not.

And the thread of the plot is lost almost immediately. It stops being about Russian Superman and becomes dictator Superman with his army of zombie slaves and time loops and everything else.

It wasn't satisfied being a story, it had to be a property.

DC gets the talent too, but Marvel's talents are almost entirely squandered by their watered down plots and bland cinematography. At th every least BvS is Zach Snyder's vision; Suicide Squad will be Ayers, and Batman Begins was Nolan's. DC properties let filmmakers make their own films with them, whereas Marvel pushes out talent like Edgar Wright because they want a homogenous image. It fills seats, but the movies all grow samey. See Avengers 1 vs Avengers 2.
