Firing Henry is going to hurt their bottom line even more. Should have done All Star Superman as his last hurrah or hell do the Kingdom Come storyline with him being the older supes. Either would be better than just wholesale getting rid of the guy that made people get excited about their shitty movies again

Cavill actually mentioned wanting to do Kingdom Come. He actually knows the source material. I swear if this was the 90s he’d be the top star but we live in a time where “representation” is more important than good storytelling
They're trying to do everything in their power to stifle him, but he's still immensely popular. There was a funny video floating around the other day of some twink interviewing him about some movie or other and he mentions that there's a question about Warhammer, and instantly his eyes brighten up and he's trying to engage the journalist about the factions only to be met with a "Actually someone else asked that question". Cavil asked to meet that guy instead lmao.
It’s so refreshing to see someone who is actually into that stuff or doesn’t crap on the fans
The moment it looks like they learn something...
They show they've really learned nothing. Spider-Man and Superman are my two favorite heroes and for a while they avoided fucking them up too. Can't have shit
Those are my favorite too. With Spider-Man they will most likely move away from Peter Parker.
They are trying to replace Peter Parker with Miles Morales in any recent Spiderman media.
Yep. I actually read his comics before marvel was bought out. They honestly should’ve given him a different name because even when I read the comics I didn’t see him as Spider-Man. Now the usual “fans” on Twitter will talk about how he is so much better than the original as well as the usual shill sites.
I have his first app so will sell that when the buzz gets high for his movie. Or may wait til they do a live action.
The comic intro of Miles was pretty lame. All of his storylines were pretty lame too. I felt like Bendis really phoned it in with that title. I liked the movie though, it was really good.
Eh maybe. I’ve read a lot of his stuff over the years including his image stuff. He’s done some good work I think. I was a lot younger then too so it’s entirely possible it was bad, but I enjoyed it at the time. His later writing is lazy in my opinion. I avoid anything with his name on it and that used to be the opposite.
Yea they weren’t anything like the amazing or spectacular run. I enjoyed Web of as well.
You're saying Bendis wrote bad material. Never!
There is some level of interest in making Miles Morales similar to Spider-Man. Part of Peter's journey is that he is an "Everyman". That anyone can be like Peter Parker and work to do right. In competent hands, it would be a really interesting topic to explore.
Except that's not at all what it's about, rather the executive in charge of it has mutt kids and replacing the biggest hero with a black character is his way of trying to connect to the kids he damned by bringing into the world that no one will ever truly accept into their fold.
The Spiderverse movie, ironically enough, is everything right about animation. It doesn't try to be some crappy live action but slightly more colorful adaption, every element of it is tailor made to creating the story and world of a cartoon character and bring it to life.
Everything else about the character and the modern landscape of western comics and the western canon is a fucking joke, however.
People like Peter Parker so much that the last movie had three of them. It broke records.
You would think the industry would’ve taken notes. But they will keep pushing Ms Marvel, Ironheart, or America Chavez. Because soooo many girls are flooding comic book stores buying those issues
Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
Miles Morales is Miles Morales.
Exactly. Which is why it makes no sense that they didn’t give him a different name.
Spider Nogger
Well I’ve always been a rebel. I have this weird talent of being to enjoy stories and heroes that don’t “represent”. Lol
The guy was practically born to play Superman and they're definitely going to replace him with some edgy tranny twink instead.
Marvel should hire him to play Hyperion just for shits and giggles.
Hyperion with a moustache just for extra shitlord points.
I don't know why they bother with the little post credit scenes if they aren't going to follow them up
Because they have to copy the MCU verbatim, without any idea of how or why it succeeded.
That's been every decision Warner/DC has made, just copy the MCU as fast as possible and wait for the billions to roll in. And when it fails (it keeps doing so) burn it all down and start over again and again.
"When I first started writing Dawn of Justice, Marvel was already starting Phase 2. Everyone said I was daft to start a cinematic universe with an ensemble movie, but I wrote one all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I wrote Suicide Squad. That sank into the swamp. So I wrote Justice League. That changed directors, got reshot, then sank into the swamp. But this fourth reboot..."
"But mother..."
"Fxthir!"
They're just gonna replace him with an adaptation of that gay comic version that just came out recently.
So, apparently even though they gave up on Henry Cavill as Superman, supposedly they have other roles in mind for him? Seems shitty regardless.
Being an attractive, white actor is hard nowadays.
I’ll be honest, when you say DC is retarded, I immediately thought Washington DC.
