I don't know Boseman or his family would feel or if Boseman ever discussed it with Ryan Coogler. This isn't the deciding factor obviously but it would be somewhat odd if cancer took two heroes in two consecutive MCU movies.

It would probably serve the public, and respect the memory of the actor, to just name cancer in the movie too. Maybe even have Hobbit Ross be naive that Wakanda, as advanced as they are can’t cure it, and have Angela Bassett be like “yeah, we have technology, but we aren’t gods.”

Would definitely come off better than that one Black Panther story where they said they did have the cure for cancer but weren't sharing it.

Is the second one mostly original as well? The No Woman No Cry remix is really atmospheric and well done, but not necessarily something I would jam to like Kendrick Lamar.

I dunno, at this point I’m so bored and done with The Rock’s schtick that I honestly think it would prevent me from seeing the movie. He only plays one kind of character and his “gotta hit every marketable quadrant” brand is exhausting. Plus you could never have Groot and Namor share a scene because Vin Diesel would post some weird insecure photoshopped rant about it on instagram.

All of a sudden Namor needs to have a sweet nine year old girl to rescue and an ex-wife character who exists only to grudgingly acknowledge how great he is.

Seriously though, watch The Scorpion King. Movie's loving tops, you'll know if you love it or not after about five minutes when a guy gets shot with an arrow and goes sailing through a wall and then just... keeps going.

There’s a garbage quality phone-cam leak of the Guardians 3 trailer from SDCC floating around. Nothing major, but you do get to see Adam Warlock. It’s also profoundly weird to hear a Flaming Lips song used in a big Marvel trailer. If only they were still worth a drat and not just a Wayne Coyne vanity project

The Rock is a good actor and he has range. He's just never asked to be anything but The Rock because he's also the highest paid actor in Hollywood and if you're paying Rock rates, you want The Rock. Edit: His size also limits options too, obviously. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Jul 26, 2022 |

I mean he's on god knows how many growth hormones right now. Most of these actors take those things for these roles where they're huge and ripped like that. It's their body so it's whatever, but it's clearly not natural. They still do a lot of hard work to get that way but they're absolutely using chemicals as well.

Yeah, he was still with WWE when he did The Rundown so he couldn't hit those PEDs. WWE guys (mostly) have to do it legit back then, and still today, because of the steroid trial in the 90s. The Rock does something absurd like 5 hours of gym time a day, but he's also 50 years old now. He has help.

I'm sure there's a post on this very forum from ages ago of me saying the Rock should play Namor but I'm a different man now. The man I've become just saw the Black Adam trailer and thought "You know, the Rock might not be good at serious dramatic acting"

“the Rock should play Namor” feels like some kind of artifact from that time period when every fan casting of a super hero was some wrestler or actor who just looked like the comic character. I get it but I’m glad we’re pretty much beyond that and to the “a good actor should play X with even if they don’t look exactly like a 50 year old drawing” stage. Of course that’s when the Rock was cast as Black Adam so it gets grandfathered in.

Lobok posted:Why are WWE performers not allowed to be roided up? They absolutely are. About 15 years ago there were a rash of wrestler deaths related to drug use and there was some scrutiny in the atmosphere and workload in WWE and wrestling that encouraged and aided use. So WWE instituted a drug testing policy. But the policy was pretty clearly a joke that was easy enough to cycle around and even the big names who got busted generally got passes. It was largely just a pr tool to wash their hands of substance abusers they thought might end badly or just fire some low level workers to prove they’re doing something. But everyone is still on roids. There is a general change in wrestling that wrestlers are smaller and less set to that hulking body builder type. But that’s just a societal shift. There’s less failed football players and bouncers in wrestling and more random people.

Endless Mike posted:Lmao no they don't. They just cycle it so it's out of their system by TV time which is the only place they get tested. Of course, but anyone making regular appearances can't do that. Like The Rock. It's always noticeable when someone comes back from an injury looking incredible, which then falls off over the next couple of months. Lobok posted:Why are WWE performers not allowed to be roided up? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._McMahon Vince got away with distributing steroids in the early 90s so they made a big deal of WWE being drug free and using independent testing, which remains today. Some guys like Brock Lesnar and HHH have/had non-standard performer contracts which don't get them tested. They can also use them with a prescription. Common for injury recovery, and there's at least one guy who I can't remember off-hand who has a medical condition that requires steroids to manage.

Vince McMahon's really into huge oily muscled guys like Brock Lessner. He pushes them up in the company while more technical wrestlers or smaller guys usually languish unless they've got amazing crowd chops (Eddie Guerrero). Since Vince consolidated a bunch of local leagues and went big, he was able to push his vision of wrestling due to being the creative control and having the most eyeballs on his shows. That's why you had huge dude's in the 80s like Ultimate Warrior, Hogan, Macho Man, etc. and why American Wrestling is just big slabs of beef.

I've been known to enjoy Dwayne occasionally, but even at his most hostile he's never had the kind of disgust-mixed-with-rage that I feel would be necessary from a Namor Honestly, considering the synergy between superheroes and professional wrestling, it's kind of bizarre there are so few Samoan characters.

Eh, I'd argue Macho Man wasn't really in that league, he was a much smaller, more agile and skilled dude than any of the lumbering oafs.
