Dude doesn't understand Dark Comedy.

It doesn't work the way normal comedies works. If u don't get the references in Dark comedies you get lost. That's what makes them feel kinda forced since u don't get it.

The guy na just one olodo trying to form smart.

MJBOLT:

maybe na that eagle go die sef

That'd be a waste of Eagly's survival moment in the last episode

DC hardly kill important people

Do you really wanna, do you really wanna test this?

What's Kenpachi doing in Platinum End?

VerifiedStalin:
I'm not trying to backpedal.

With WB pouring its whole marketing might behind the film, combined with the fact that it's a Batman film, plus huge expectations, it wouldn't be absurd to expect a minimum gross of $1 billion, would it?

It wouldn't be absurd. But once we cross $400m, your dragging begins.

VerifiedStalin:
I'm just being cautious. I can see how some people may misinterpret that as negativity, but history is on my side.

And, not to be facetious, I would consider it a flop if it did not gross a billion dollars at the box office. Don't make excuses about the $100 million budget; this is a Batman film. With the current state of inflation, it should easily make a billion dollars if it's a good movie.

But... I just can't shake the feeling that the film will bomb woefully.

Lol! See early onset defense strategy. Infact, I now consider NWH a flop since it did not gross 3 billion dollars at the box office, one for each Spiderman. NWH is a flop.

Nickshrapnel:
The communist strongly believes the movie will flop but I think otherwise. I’m only waiting for the movie to premiere so I can either gloat or be dragged.

Same here. Just conserving chakra for ultimate Jutsu.

Minemrys:
If you are taking the different roles and playing it the same way, how then is it a different role? Same can be said of every actor. Gadot is versatile, even though not Oscar worthy, her characters are different in how they are written and how she plays them. She is believable playing different characters which the Rock hasn't done even though he is capable of doing it.

Nope. Hard disagree with the bolded. Playing different characters differently is what makes good actors. Great actors become whatever role they take on. They immerse you fully in the character's story. You don't see Tom Hanks anymore, you see Forrest Gump and Capt. John Miller. You don't see Meryl Streep, you see Miranda Priestly and Gail Hartman.
Gal's characters may be written differently but she plays them superficially. Never delving deep to bring the characters she plays fully to life.

Xavier5:
She is. If you check up her films you will notice the difference in roles. No doubt she plays the same action role but with a difference. The Gal I saw in Wonder Woman is different from the one I saw in Fast and furious, keeping up with Jonnasses (whatever the name is), Red Notice etc. Hoping to see more of that in Death in the Nile. Unlike The Rock and Ryan Reynolds that act basically the same in all their movies, Gal does things differently, her portroyals are always unique and different even though it's in the same action role, it's just like Samuel L Jackson acting when it comes to his performance as Nick Fury and his other action films, you will notice the difference even though it's the same action genre.

That's why I said she's versatile. When I say versatility, I aren't talking about acting in a different genre but rather playing a different character or having different protrayals/ performance even if it's in the same genre.

Minemrys:
She is. Try watch Criminal, keeping up with the Joneses, wonder woman...she is different. She was totally different in Red notice.

As others have said, it's not really that Gal doesn't take different roles. It's that she plays those different roles the same way. Leaning on her exotic sex appeal factor for just about all of her roles.

Xavier5:
The Rock is a good actor, saying he isn't good is one just lying to himself. He's good but not versatile. If he wasn't good, he won't be a well sought after actor, his films won't be enjoyed by lots of people and he won't be highly successful in Hollywood. No one gets that kind of success and reception by luck, it's by how good you are, so the dude is good

But the problem there is, he isn't versatile, that is, he isn't good at playing multiple roles or personalities rather he's just good at playing only one type of role or personality, and the funny thing is it works for him, that's what made him successful.

The Rock is just like Ryan Reynolds, they both aren't versatile, they play the same character or role. Rock is an action guy while Ryan Reynolds is an action, comic and sex appeal guy, and that's the role they play in all their films respectively. The Rock just like Ryan Reynolds have mapped out a niche or role for themselves and they play it damn well. So will you say Ryan Reynolds is a bad actor, NO, that will just be you being outrageous. Ryan is good but he isn't versatile same as the Rock.

There's a huge difference between not being good and not being versatile, they're different things, not the same. Both Gal Gadot and The Rock are good but Gal is versatile unlike Rock, she play any role or personality or character very well unlike the Rock

It is good if the Rock expands his acting capacity, it's called development but it is also not bad if he chooses to focus on his strength or niche so far it's working for him, no problem although expansion is better.

At times rather than try multiple things, it's better to just find your strength or what works for you and focus on it.

Take a look at Kevin Hart, he's a comic actor and it's working for him. He doesn't bother himself trying to play other roles or character but take a look at Tryre Gibson, that guy is a comic actor but he has been trying to play a dark tone character which of course sucks.

The Rock is good but not versatile, saying otherwise is just one being funny. It's good if he expands his capacity, I personally wants that but if he chooses to focus on his strength or niche which has and is bringing in huge success for him, then no P.

Besides, let's Black Adam be released first before you start judging his acting, who knows, we might get something different from him. His accent should not be a yardstick to measure his acting, besides, the Rock has been taking about doing something different with Black Adam, lets just wait and see if he will keep to his word. Let the movie be released first before we start judging, doing otherwise is just one being irrational

Gal Gadot is versatile? Since when?

Minemrys:
My point exactly, though from a different angle. The man has potential but he doesn't try to make his character look different even though he keeps getting the tough guy role. His expressions, speech partner, mannerisms, accent are all the same, one note. Some actors even if they keep playing the same character, they change things. I don't want to see Hobbs while watching Black Adam.

Minemrys:
Am starting to think he purposely wants to be a bad actor cause he keeps getting work and has less time to research his character.

Not bad actor per say. He's just comfortable being typecast.

Carot:
sandra bullock's debut. Keanu Reeve didn't return for the sequel

Wasn't Sandra Bullock's debut, though.

Carot:
sadly, i never get to see the very first edition of SS. I started from no pain no gain

Mehn! You missed, but nothing spoil sha. No Pain, No Gain was solid too.

Achilles100:
Bruh!

Toyin Tomato solidified Super Story's place as the family TV show to watch. She most definitely deserves to be on that list.

VerifiedStalin:
Fixed.

Now we're talking

MJBOLT:

Yeah,keep grasping at straws
They should also give us Asian Hobbits,Elves,Dwarves etc the representation must go around I no dey like ojoro

You really think they're going to diversify the casting and not have other ethnicities? Are you sure you even understand what you're arguing about?

MJBOLT:

he has a point

What point does he have, exactly?

MJBOLT:

WriterNig,no be Legolas replacement be that and this character was specifically created for the series,he doesn't exist in the books.

If only he'd befriended Google, he would have known.

WriterNig:
.

See, you learnt something today

WriterNig:
No black Elf ever existed. Google is your friend.

You need Google's friendship more, actually.

hitsugaya:
damn, that's sad..but on another end, platinum end is quite underrated

If you rated Platinum End 5/10, it would still be overrated.

VerifiedStalin:
Sure, but I'd love to see dwarven women, full beards and deep voices and all, in live action. It would be glorious.

Exactly. We've already got the elves for conventional eye candy. Give us dwarven women as Tolkien intended.

AnfieldFan:
Considering she's a Princess, maybe she's all prim and proper with exotic make-up... Just saying....

Also looked like she waxed her jaw

VerifiedStalin:
Truly a shame.

A missed opportunity to accurately portray dwarven women.

I mean, it's not like we don't know what Dwarven women look like
