That article has to be fishing for hate clicks.

I really thought it was just a poor attempt at repeating the Ashley Feinberg Pokemon/Digimon article, but then I saw the update, and I'm not sure what to think.

( For context: https://gawker.com/9-tips-for-mastering-pokemon-go-1783333597. The comments have been wiped away, which was where the real beauty lied. For every comment pointing out that the picture was of Digimon, Ashley simply replied "No, those are Pokemon". Over and over and over...)

Oh great, she can sleepwalking her way though the sequel then start going off on how unfortunate it is she's locked into a 5 picture deal. :cry:

I think it's probably fan casting, but her big problem with playing Mystique seemed to be having to be layered under so much make-up all the time. Sue Storm doesn't require any kind of special make-up and hell, half the time Lawrence can just add her dialogue in through ADR.

She makeup FX crew worked to reduce the amount of appliques they used on her after First Class.

It looked like poo poo and she still complained!

I mean, even the simplest of make-up applications still takes hours, means you have to be on set that much earlier than your co-stars, and makes it harder to emote through. Not everyone can be Doug Jones or Ron Perlman. Some people aren't built for that kind of acting.

The source for this rumor right now is an Australian tabloid, so I’d wait for a more reputable source to back it up first.

I mean I assume even the relatively minimal amount still felt like poo poo and I imagine she would have dropped the role if that had been given as an option.

She was good in First Class and Days of Future Past. I really can't blame her for phoning it in on Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. She'd be a perfectly fine Sue Storm.

Yeah, I gotta give her something of a pass for being locked into THOSE films. I mean sure, the others toughed it out but they didn't have to do the makeup. So I kinda get it.

Jennifer Lawrence as Sue seems like one of those "Who's a famous person in the zeitgeist who vaguely matches this character's surface level characteristics?" type of casting, like Terry Crews as Luke Cage, or Tom Cruise as Cyclops

Yeah, 8 pretty much ends with the end of the world so 9 is Raiden is sending himself a message back in time and trying to change history, so it covers 1-3 and then the timeline pretty much goes off and does it's own thing for 10/11

My favorite thing about the Mortal Kombat games is that despite being set in a franchise where literally every fight theoretically ends with death it has a shockingly small body count of actual main characters except for Sindel.

Yeah, like every regular fight (even without fatalities) is characters stabbing each other in the eyes and breaking spines and gouging eyeballs and then it ends and everyone is fine except maybe a little winded unless they die in a cutscene afterwards. I can understand why or else your cast would rapidly be reduced to nothing but still!

Edit: It's weirdest when it is for entirely mundane reasons. Like MK11 opens with Sonya and Cassie having a friendly spar except Sonya's moves include like "placing an automated drone that rapidly fires a machine gun into you" and Cassie's include "shooting you in the drat face."

Those desperation moves being super violent and then having brutal meaty hits where you, like, shatter someone's kneecap really fucks with the believability of a multiversal karate tournament populated by men and monsters.

Spoilers for MK 11 Aftermath: As far as I'm concerned the Shang Tsung wins ending should be canon because it really is the culmination of all the themes of the trilogy. Every last one of the heroes spends so much time worrying about their own poo poo, not thinking ahead, or acting with incomplete information that them putting their arch rival in charge of time and space is really how is should end. Raiden being the worst with this. Every move he makes is the wrong one.

It's schlocky b-movie, Shaw bros stuff and is very entertaining.
