The way the moment was reacted to, you'd think Will Smith decked Chris Rock, who then did a full 360 and collapsed off the stage in agony. It was a slap from a 54 year old man.

Hard pass on Will loving Smith as my Marvel big bad. The gently caress are they even doing? Smith's a good actor and all and can be physical (Ali) but who wants this?

Weirdest part is it’s like why is the guy who made Good Hair, a movie entirely about how black people get hosed up by having their hair commented on in a white dominated culture like America, making a crack about a black woman’s hair or lack thereof? Especially when you made the movie because your own daughter came up to you and asked why she had “bad” hair?! How loving myopic do you have to be to not go “maybe this will fly about as well as a dumbbell strapped to a chicken”

Will Smith is a loser, a pathetic shell of a human, and possibly the biggest beta cuck on the planet. Still a million times better than Majors. But Marvel should just stop making movies for a couple years.

A part of Will Smith's rebranding to stay relevant has been going very TMI on his personal life, and he kind of comes across as a doormat who really wants to please people who really do not care for him. It's kind of wild when you consider that he's an insanely successful and beloved music & film star.

Many actors and entertainers have an intense, near pathological need to be loved and appreciated, and society’s tendency to switch between that love and appreciation to hatred and criticism can only intensify that need, or sometimes drive them into the sort of nervous/emotional breakdowns that scatter the landscape of tabloids found in every checkout aisle and newsstand across the first world. Some fill the void between those moments with drugs, sex, or romances that never last, and only dull the need somewhat; some figure out they’re in a spiral and climb out of it. Some find faith, some find therapy, some find nothing and it ends in darkness, pain, and obituaries. So it goes.

I feel like there has to be an actor besides Majors or Smith out there. I know that is a controversial statement but I'm pretty sure you don't have to pick between the two and can instead find someone who isn't a garbage fire in different ways. Smith is a step up from Majors but still.

Crackbone posted:I'm not hip to the mainstream, but replacing the guy convicted of assault with the dude who committed unprovoked assault on live TV, seems like a bad look? Public sentiment has come out pretty strongly on Smith's side about the Oscar thing, especially after people pointed out that Jada Pinkett Smith has been the butt of some of Rock's jokes for years, way before the Oscars even. The Cameo posted:Weirdest part is it’s like why is the guy who made Good Hair, a movie entirely about how black people get hosed up by having their hair commented on in a white dominated culture like America, making a crack about a black woman’s hair or lack thereof?

How loving myopic do you have to be to not go “maybe this will fly about as well as a dumbbell strapped to a chicken” Chris Rock has always been a comic who relied on a lot of misogynoir-ish tropes in his routines and he's not really evolved much, despite his support for movies like Good Hair (which is not quite as good as it gets credit for, IMO). I think he attempted to launder some of his reputation when he did that big press tour like a decade ago for Top Five but it didn't really stick because his personal opinions are clearly borderline reprehensible.

It's kind of wild when you consider that he's an insanely successful and beloved music & film star. This is probably the biggest risk with Smith, he has just not transitioned well to the current era of celebrity where part of the formula for success is sharing a bunch of personal stuff so as to create the sense of a parasocial relationship with the audience. All the stuff about the open relationship with JPS, his stage dad tendencies with his kids, the stuff with Margot Robbie, etc - there's no small chance something really weird comes out and throws off the marketing for a big tentpole MCU thing but honestly Smith has been Teflon to any lasting reputation hits. Little reason to think that won't continue. Mat Cauthon fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Dec 27, 2023 |

the next marvel movie isn't all the way till May with Captain America.. and I guess Thunderbolts? which I feel is gonna be weak. Looking forward to some hopefully more grounded marvels after the past few loaded mystical/other world stuff. Some nice little earth espionage stuff might be okay again. Don't think the new Cap can carry it though.

Smith is a step up from Majors but still. There's a fair few youngish Black actors out there who haven't already been cast in an MCU flick and I'm sure would be happy to get a big check from Disney for a few years. Lakeith Stanfield, Trevante Rhodes, Donald Glover, JDW, Kofi Siriboe, Boyega (if the threw enough money at him), Andre Holland, Regé-Jean Page, etc. Michael K Williams also would've been great too, RIP. Holland or Page would be my pick but any of those guys would do a solid job. Glover would be the most predictable (and boring) re-cast but given his agitation around Spider-man stuff for years it might energize the MCU fanbase.

will smith does seem like the safe choice that makes sense both for disney and for him at this weird chapter of his career where his old image is sort of faded and he needs to reinvent himself if he plans on continuing to act. but he's still will smith so his "risky villain turn role" would definitely just be playing the heavy in some Marvel movies

He was Aaron Davis in Homecoming (more of an easter egg than any sort of commitment to a live action Miles Morales storyline in the future) and then an alternate universe Prowler in ATSV. Recasting worked out great with Chris Evans and with no real issues when they swapped out Terrence Howard for Don Cheadle, so no reason they couldn't do it here. And tbh they hopefully have learned the right lessons from BP2 where they should've just recast T'Challa, make the correct noises about honoring Boseman's legacy, and then moved on.

Will Smith can pass and then it'll go to Keanu Reeves. Worked for the Matrix! Also I feel like Godzilla is already draggin a wagon, normally the enormous tail just gets in the way. This is just Godzilla after ditching his tail to escape an even larger Kaiju toddler.
