Even without his importance in regards to how Hollywood treated non-white leads, the dude sounds like he had an interesting life. He became a zen master, and got married at 1914 but had a kid with an actress that wasn't his wife in 1929, which he and is wife adopted. I'd like to see his proposal of that dramatized

I looked her up… dammit, she's Chinese, was hoping she was another nationality not tied into fireworks/gunpowder.

Well maybe more that he actually WAS the chosen one, and his story eventually superseded Potter's.

I don't see how this isn't a biopic yet. Then again, I fucking love the early Hollywood/silent era and maybe I'm too small an audience today.

You're right in that it's not using the exact same characters as LOEG, but disparate Victorian-era literary figures teaming up and/or fighting each other? Come on. Alan Moore gets pissed at a lot of stupid shit these days, but he would have every reason to be pissed at this.

To have Willem DaFoe play me in a movie, crucifixion might be worth it.

Batman's very law and order. Have you ever read the comics, or are you just familiar with Adam West punching Cesar Romero?

The numerous anonymous muggers, robbers and kidnappers he faces. Not everything is a Batman MOVIE, he does, on occasion, just fight your everyday "bad" guys.

There was an article I read somewhere about how in the Rudy Valentino days there was another romantic male lead in the silents who happened to be of Asian descent. Apparently he was good at his job, and the ladies loved him, but it made certain people uncomfortable so he was shuttered off and you didn't really see

John Cho suffers from Ryan Reynolds Disease, which is being the best thing, and in many cases the only good thing, in his projects. And being criminally overlooked by casting, or audiences, etc.

I'd just like to have a separate comment to point out… THIS is how you do a For Your Consideration! Other FYC writers, take note. THIS is well-written, with examples, and a POV, everything gels.

Jubilee? (crappy superhero, sure, but…)

I tried getting into this series, and might try again, but… on the one hand, my shallowness sees all non-HBO pay cable series as subpar, the Pepsi to HBO's Coke. That, and I couldn't help my slow dawning realization over the two episodes I watched… holy crap, this is the EXACT same premise as League of Extraordinary

Probably. Definitely would've lost good will had he showed up to Ferguson or Baltimore in a souped up tank-car and started mowing down people with rubber bullets though.

He had some weird defense of using rape as a plot device by saying something like "that's how you tell they're really BAD bad guys" that I thought was pretty dumb.

Die Hard being based on a book is something that I know, but will continue to forget and be surprised by until the end of days.

I love puns, have an upvote.

What's strange is Millar is a pretty big Scot lefty, and Miller is an American libertarian, yet they're both problematic for many of the same reasons…

I liked the fan theory that Neville was/could have been the Chosen One.

Turned 33 this year, kept thinking "I hope my 33rd year ends a lot differently."
