Madkal posted:It's a bit of a sad state of affairs that people would skip movies because "they don't matter". As a goon mentioned higher up that Marvel built a brand that, even if the movie sucks, people will go see it because of how it might tie in to the next movie. It shouldn't matter if a movie counts as in universe or not but rather if the movie is good. DC was actually pretty good at this with movies like The Batman, Joker, Superpets etc not counting towards some big universe shared world continent so could be enjoyed or disliked on their own.

Brosnahan’s only three years older, so it’s not that big a gap. She’s gonna be a great Lois, absolutely no clue about the guy though. He’s got the jawline, but Clark is such a tough character to nail right.

fatherboxx posted:I don't think so explicitly but every origin positions Lois as accomplished journalist opposed to just-moved-from-smallville Clark What counts as "right" for modern Jimmy anyway? He's certainly not kid photographer anymore, right? The last Jimmy Olsen I followed at all was the one from the CW Supergirl show, and the current Superman show doesn't have a Jimmy at all. I think it's fine to have him, but I don't think he should be a major character, and that doesn't mean blow his brains out either. Maybe he gets the iconic first real photos of Superman in action (though I don't want another origin story). Give me a hook. Give me a reason to like Jimmy.

It was also reported that Alexander and Bill (but not Gustaf I guess) Skarsgard are up for Luthor. I think Alexander would be great. I'm ready for a menacing Lex (not that Bill's not also menacing).

It would be refreshing if Jimmy was just Clark’s new best friend in Metropolis and an equal at the paper instead of some nerdy dweeb or a social media guy. But then again anything’s an improvement over getting shot in the face for no reason.

I'm ready for a menacing Lex (not that Bill's not also menacing). And everything about it is just right. He's small-minded and arrogant about it. He's convinced of his rightness about everything, because he's smart in one small area, therefore he's always a super-genius about everything and don't you dare tell him different. He's cruel, both actively if you incur his wrath, and passively if you just have the temerity to exist in ways he does not find pleasing. And there are so many interesting new takes on his classic plots you could do with it! He's not invading Metropolis with killer robots, he's soft-launching a paradigm shift in AI-driven private policing while moving fast and breaking things.That's not an army of brainwashed cyborg slaves, they're Gold X members of leX, the everything app, participating in an experimental hardware initiative -- and what is Superman going to do about it when it turns out that they are in fact volunteers, because Lex has millions of baying fans online begging to lick his boots just for the merest chance of getting to be involved in one of his schemes?

"Elon Musk" fits him so much better than his post-Man of Steel (the comic book) "80s corporate raider" persona, which never quite gelled with Lex's evil inventor side. (Vulture capitalists do not create.) Luthor should be a contemporary of Superman, about the same age, which means he needs to start being younger, and what do young evil billionaires look like these days? They went too on-the-nose casting Eisenberg. Bill Skarsgard sending Holly Hunter piss could be scary but it felt like a prank coming from the guy who actually played Zuckerberg.

I was wondering if Corenswet was going to be the tallest Superman at 6'4 but apparently that's the same as Christopher Reeve.

I don't want Luthor to be a send up of Musk because I get enough irritating bullshit Musk news already. Maybe he doesn't need to be based on any specific famous transphobe rear end in a top hat.

Superman & Lois recently introduced their Lex (played by Michael Cudlitz) and he's kind of a darker take on the character as he spent the last 17 years in prison because Bruno Manheim and Onomatopoeia framed him for the murder of a rival crime lord.

I saw Corenswet in a Ryan Murphy show. He was pretty good in it, despite it being a Ryan Murphy show. It's the new Lois I dunno anything about. Hope they've signed a clause against being turned into ghoulish waxed pixels post-mortem. Alternatively, maybe that's a badge of honor now?

Lex wasn't Elon, he was Zuckerberg. And I think updating it works well, he started as a regular gangster/thug, has his mad scientist phase, then the tycoon/real estate guy. Tech CEO is a logical choice, unless they want to go Trump with it

I'm in the same camp as other goons that said we don't need Lex to be some kind of commentary or burn on our doofus real-life billionaires. In the same vein as "you can't make an anti-war movie" I feel like when making Lex a satire of Zuckerberg or Musk or Bezos you're actually giving them more credit than they deserve. Faced against someone like Superman those guys would fold faster than... well, Superman on laundry day.
