mind the walrus posted:I don't get the hate for the movie outfit anyway. It's not as bad as "DC why the gently caress are you still putting the Japanese flag on her head?" Katana outfit they ran with. They wanted Harley and the Joker to look trashy, and they succeeded. Nothing really mystical about it. Probably because the other characters are so uninteresting by comparison that they don't provoke a lot of comment. Katana looks terrible, yeah, but there's not a lot else to say beyond that. Harley Quinn/Robbie are more "OMG look at those hotpants SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE rear end FOR THAT" and "Those jailhouse tattoos are SO BADLY DONE" vs. "Oh hey that guy sure is wearing a baggy overcoat, huh, how about that"

I would actually like to see some of the comic costumes given a blockbuster treatment, just out of curiosity as to what they would really look like. I mean that cosplayer picture obviously doesn't fit with the tone of suicide squad, but it doesn't look horrendous and that's probably just a bunch of semiprofessionals throwing in. What would it look like with real production behind it? The answer might well be 'like poo poo' which I guess was the case for Green Lantern, but I'd like to know.

Cosplayers frequently are able to pull off comic-accurate really good looking stuff because they are designed to look good in still pictures and not while doing kung-fu or backflips or even from angles other than the ideal. Movies can make up for some of this with post-production, but I don't think most movies want to spend the time and money to like, CG out the wrinkle that Harley's shirt makes every time she tunrs or Gambit's trenchcoat flare or whatever little real-life cloth physics they want to get rid of in every single shot.

That's a really cool effect for the switch. I'm looking forward to this movie now.

Keeshhound posted:So why don't they cast more pro wrestlers for comic movies? There's a pretty huge overlap in the kind of stories both genres tell (people who use ultraviolence to solve their problems, both socially and otherwise), and most of them have the proper physiques already. Because the hard part isn't being swole, it's selling all the non-fighting character scenes. Wrestlers can't act, but some guy called Chris can bulk up with a few months of personal training.

A handul of them can act. The main reason most don't go into acting is that they can't do that and wrestle at the same time due to the ridiculous schedules wrestlers have to keep. Oh and most of the ones not hired by Vince McMahon directly are too ugly for Hollywood.

I'm pretty sure if you're already a pro wrestler with a steady gig you'd have to be out of your mind to walk away from that and try to get into acting unless you are super, super charismatic like The Rock is, because getting paid a steady check is pretty great.

Pro wrestlers are pretty well universally not employees of whoever they wrestle for; they're independent contractors. There is no "steady gig." Even a top guy in the company, if they get injured, often isn't getting paid while they rehab. Piss off one of the bookers? No one in the writing room has a story for you this week? Welp, no check for you. While you're right that you'd have to be crazy to walk away from a steady gig in order to start acting, wrestling isn't a steady gig, is my point.

WWE actually does pay their workers for rehab and such since everyone there has a downside guarantee. That's not really true elsewhere other than maybe NJPW and technically TNA (they have contracts but don't get paid regardless). At one point, Paul Heyman told Mikey Whipwreck to go work for WCW since he was injured and they had healthcare. That's actually one thing actors have access to: group healthcare. Terry Funk would go shoot a commercial or a low-rent movie every couple years to maintain his SAG card specifically for the healthcare plan.

I don't think Perlman is the right actor, but he's one of the only men in Hollywood who could play Darkseid with minimal prosthetics.
