I’m assuming the technology they're cramming into this thing isn't cheap, and Sony is probably losing a bit of money even at that price, but wow that's a big hit. I'll definitely wait for a sale unless they announce something big for it 

While TV/streaming has gotten bigger, movies are probably still the A-game every actor wants to be in, and the money is better too. And Superman is a pretty iconic role that is too good to pass up, methinks.

I’m not all-in on this explanation, but it could certainly be part of the issue combined with Cavill getting more popular (and therefore probably harder to pay for and schedule around for an intensive series like this). Plus I can imagine even if he deeply loves the material and the character, being locked down to a…

I read the books and played the games. The Netflix series story adaptation does not bother me so much. But Cavill can never be replaced. Hemsworth will be a downgrade no matter how well he does. I don’t even think his brother could pull it off. 

Cavill’s rate has dramatically increased since he was first signed. And, it looks like he’s wanting to focus on movies, rather than the grind of a series.

I’m not sure you can tell from up there on your soap box, but a lot of people are certainly able to fully grasp that any adaptation that drives off the central star that made fans enjoy the show is certainly not a good adaptation, and doesn’t “slap”.

Faithful or otherwise, if you lose Cavill, you’re not going to make…

The Thing is a go to movie for me around this time of year.

It’s just mind-blowing this is where Netflix decides to cheap out. They blow hundreds of millions if not billions on shovelware crap. Then on one of their actual hits, they won’t pony up and work around the Superman filming needs.

Chris Hemsworth, probably.

The problem a lot of people seem to be unable to fully grasp is that an unfaithful adaptation isn’t necessarily a bad one. The Witcher Netflix series while not faithful to the source material is a great series. The same is true for the video game series.

John Carpenter’s The Thing is completely unfaithful to the source…

Liam Hemsworth? Liam? More expensive than Cavill? That’s unlikely.

In terms of Hemsworth salaries, he’s probably 4th.

1. Chris
2. Chris’ daughter
3. Chris’ wife
4. Liam, the “other” Hemsworth
5. The other, other Hemsworth

Stans are the worst.

This is just my personal opinion, of course, but I found the show to be more enjoyable than the books. I don’t really have a strong opinion on any of the specific changes that the writers on the show made, but I do think that the overall effect the changes had made the show much easier to follow, the characters…

I’m a writer too, and I have enjoyed The Witcher 2 and 3 from a worldbuilding perspective. However, the main story, especially in 3 does suck, including the walking plot device, Ciri. I sure as hell don’t understand the hype around her. Sure there were cute moments like Geralt becoming a better father figure to her…

Ummmm, what? “better than his Superman”? “no depiction of Superman has been good”?

Neither of those observations make any sense. Cavill’s Supes has been one of the better things that DC has cast, and honestly starting with Chris Reeve in the first big screen incarnation, there have been plenty of good versions.

I think…

Damn, it’s a real shame that this show had to end after just 3 seasons.

I’m too astonished that Netflix would let a genre show make it to a fourth season to even have an opinion on recasting the lead.

I’d rather them delay the season to work around Cavill’s schedule instead of recasting. Especially since I imagine Season 4 will largely be an adaptation of Baptism of Fire, which could be reworked to put the focus on Ciri and The Rats, and reduce the Geralt side of the story to smaller bits culminating in the Battle…

Welp, there goes any sympathy I had.
