And she really only works in that role in the first movie. By 84/BvS/JL she’s been in society for like a century. So the fish out of water thing is gone.

Been saying that for ages. Gal Gadot is not a good actor. She works in the Wonder Woman role as a woman out of place, who doesn’t quite fit in with the modern world. But in any other role she’s doing the exact same thing and it just doesn’t work.
Everything doesn’t have to be a trilogy.
Reboot it with a WW that doesn’t ignore the Palestinian oppression by Israel.
Do you see Leah Remini in the room with you right now?
I'm not shocked HotD isn't on the AV Club lists- the reviews/ recaps were always massively inaccurate in even summarizing the plot to the point one would question whether the reviewer actually watched the episode. It's a tough year for television in the sense that there's a ton of wonderful programming and the acting…
You’re overestimating the effort/thought I put into complaining. And hey, at least I’m not devoting that effort to putting other commenters down.
When another celebrity has an ancillary take about superhero movies nestled into an otherwise wide-ranging interview, do your dopamine centers go off as you think “goodie, another article topic!”, or is it more like Milgram just told your proctor to increase the voltage if you don’t get on that lift down into the…
Its difficult to put into words how little I’m interested in the Avatar series. Its incredible something so boring and lifeless could cost so much.
I used to think Avatar didn’t work because of its generic plot. I don’t think that anymore, though. John Wick is equally generic, but it’s got enough style and personality to pull it off.
By that logic Zack Snyder is the greatest filmmaker to have ever been born.
“Chadwick Boseman is Black Panther. You can’t refute that, and he’s a movie star.”
Kinda feels like everyone’s looking for the most outrageous interpretation of what (to me) boils down to “you go to see The Avengers because you wanna see Hulk and Thor fight, not because you want to see Ruffalo and Hemsworth.”
characters who everyone loves and will continue to love forever.
It’s not. There are reasons to cast unknowns and there are movies that benefit from this because often with stars you see the actor more than the character. But the fact is, as others have mentioned, Marvel movies aren’t generating stars for that very reason. The actors are in third place behind the IP and the CGI…
QT is one of the main reason there is a hong kong cinema scene in the americas and disney explcitly tried to get MS’s all asian cast film banned from ever being shown while communicating with the chinese government about it. These movies are for babies and you are crying that gordan ramsey doesnt like mcdonalds
To be a movie star doesn’t just mean “played the lead in a film”, though. It means being famous enough to be a household name and be able to greenlight a movie by just being attached. Tom Cruise is a movie star. Chris Evans isn’t a movie star before or after Marvel.
No he wasn’t. He was in movies, but hardly anyone was going to Sunshine or Street Kings or even Scott Pilgrim based solely on Chris Evans being in them. Maybe the Fantastic Four films, but that’s largely a ‘best of a dud’ factor.
To me, Simu Liu was effectively an unknown pre-Shang-Chi. As other people have said, he got really big as a result of Shang-Chi rather than having been cast in a big movie because of being marquee name. So, when I say he’s replaceable, I think any other ‘unknown’ might have been cast for the first movie. He just…
Chris Evans was a working actor, full stop.
