Dangit…Armie Hammer WOULD make a pretty good Captain Marvel.

I've always found the idea of Shazam fascinating: An abused child suddenly given access to the world of adults, and given the power and agency to effect change in that world, but getting it all via shortcut—which means he's in there taking action without the maturity or healing that comes with growing up. His heart is…

I didn't take it as any kind of personal affront, I've just never found The Rock convincing as an antagonist (for the aforementioned reasons of his chronic excesses of charisma and likability). I think he's too charming to play a straight-up villain and that even the most sympathetic of interpretations of Black Adam…

It doesn't matter WHO they cast as Marvel—I've never envisioned Black Adam as charming. Forceful? Yes. Intimidating? Absolutely. Driven? One hundred percent. But adding "absurdly charismatic" to that mix seems out of line with what I've always gotten from the character.

Is this the one who took a photo at a Chick-Fil-A where he clearly had lemonade in a free water cup?

He absolutely can play the interior life of a child or adolescent.

So much confuses me about your comments:

What makes you think it was a good choice?

Hard disagree. Either they are going to have to re-interpret Black Adam as winsome and charming, or they are going to have to waste some of The Rock's greatest strengths as an actor. Now, given the general state of these DC movies, I wouldn't be shocked if they made Black Adam the only charming, sympathetic character…

Nope. I like The Rock just fine (though who the heck would cast him as Black Adam when he'd be a PERFECT Shazam/Captain Marvel???). but these jokes just aren't funny anymore.

Unliked so I could like it again.

Lynch has such distaste for talking about his work with interviewers who are capable of holding a penetrating conversation about it. I'm perversely interested in seeing what he'd be like at a Comic-Con Q&A. Seems more like Mark Frost's thing.

Well this is going to be interesting…

Reportedly, one of the main reasons Tolkein wrote Lord of the Rings was as an outlet for the mythical languages he had developed. Similarly, my theory is that George R. R. Martin wrote A Song of Ice and Fire as an outlet for the recipes he had collected and menus he had devised.

Technology is cyclical.

No you're not.

What, you're not going to leave the door open for future one-off multi-reviewer storylines in the future?

In all seriousness, absent any word on the broader casting and general concept behind the production, I'm initially uncomfortable at casting Montag's wife as a "lazy black woman." If someone says that they know Jordan's Montag is a fireman, but he's "one of the good ones," I'm out.

Yeah, but to be fair, Allison Brie's COMMUNITY and MAD MEN characters weren't really that far apart in age…
