nyarlathotep:
How is the comparison not the same.

The Rock is in more ''big'' movies, which is the entire basis of your argument.

You just don't like me pointing out your flawed logic. Otherwise, you'd be able to come back with more than ''it's not the same!'' Well, explain your position then?

Since you're not, then I assume you can't. Therefore, I'd exit this argument. You are starting to look foolish.

Unless you are blind or you just pretending to be you would have seen where I said that using big movies isn't 100% reliable as a metric for measuring acting talent before I also brought up range.. you on the other hand have just been trying hard to correlate things that doesn't even make sense talmbout "a flaw in your logic"...I'm not making any other explanations on this matter cos as far as I'm concerned there was no arguement there in the first place

It's easy to join the crowd and throw jabs but when I throw back I'm being condescending..y'all are just hypocritical lots with delusions of intelligence..y'all are actually the ones that look and sound foolish especially you thinking that the Rock Vs DDL is the same comparison as Cavill Vs Cox

Tell that to all the women who refused to sleep with Harvey Weinstein and got blacklisted from Hollywood.

Oh wow,really? So who does Cox gotta sleep with to get those roles?

TV/Movies › Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe by pu7pl3(m): 8:32pm On May 16, 2020

I can't even..with you guys anymore... someone that claims to know how Hollywood works is saying that Cavill gets more roles just because he is good looking

There is nothing else to add here...run from it all you want, deny it all you want Cavill is the better actor and he will continue to be more prominent and relevant than Cox..

Cox can stick to his usual music videos and short films..it's what he is really good at...

nyarlathotep:
This I can answer for me.

Cavill has never in anything he was in shown the dynamic level of acting Cox did in Daredevil alone.

Cavill is a guy I have always seen as ''fine'' in the movies and shows he was in, but he has never stood out or wowed me. Cox has shown me that. Therefore, better actor.

Better quality work = better actor.

I just saw this...

I agree the Daredevil performance was good...nothing otherworldly but it was definitely above average and the role suited him well cos the man looks naturally helpless...

Cavill maybe wouldn't be able to play that role like he did but check out their work over the years, acting has to do with range...Cox plays almost the same type of character (charmingly helpless but mostly intelligent character) in everything he has been in, even in music videos and short films then check out Cavill who has largely played different roles with different character traits

Better range = better actor

Smackdown recap reviews and reactions

Mr. Money in the Bank Otis started the show on Miz TV. Otis came out happier than a kid in a candy store, and then the chair he was supposed to sit in broke. He said even though MITB was a big win, the biggest win of his career was winning the heart of Mandy Rose, and Morrison implied that Otis must be packing meat, and not just in the Money in the Bank briefcase. That or he must be great in bed .
I… I just don’t need that image, guys.
The Miz had a little slideshow ready of Otis family photos and we saw baby Otis at 12 pounds and 4 ounces. Another picture was shown of Otis wearing very little clothing. Miz got fed up that Otis got the briefcase and the girl and told Otis to get Tucker for a match. That can’t happen though according to Otis, because Tucker got dysentery on the Oregon Trail. But he’ll find a partner.
Otis came off super relatable, even though he’s the fool of SmackDown right now.I loved this segment. My boy Miz killed it in his role as the antagoniser. Otis also talked about his learning disability and man, who didn’t pose almost naked when they were a kid? Some people still do! And that’s okay!
What was even better was Otis deflecting the fat jokes with humor of his own. That is how it should be done. Typically the babyfaces get no mic time while the heels dress them down. Otis makes fun of himself, while so many others have just stood there dejected.
Otis asked Sheamus at first, which I liked because it wasn’t your typical babyface going to a babyface spot, and Sheamus was a jerk, naturally. Then Otis went to Braun, who had his guard up thinking it would really be for Otis to catch him off guard and cash in. Later on, we find out Braun accepted.
Braun attempted to do a caterpillar in the match but, yeah no that was terrible dude. The chemistry between Braun and Otis was surprisingly good for two dudes who have never teamed up before. Strowman did a couple of really odd looking throws to Morrison and Miz. Both men were out of the ring and Braun went to do his run around the ring spot and Morrison dove out of the way and was able to powerslam Miz for the win.
After, Mandy came out and Otis teased cashing in behind Braun’s back, but Braun whipped around and Otis said he was just kidding and they all celebrated in the ring. I really liked that spot because I know this won’t happen, but a total shock and swerve at some point could be that exact moment. Hell, I thought it was actually going to happen! Very interesting casually throwing Tucker out there without any real mention of why he hasn’t been around lately. I’ll be eyeing him like a hawk when he returns. Still think that heel turn is coming. For now at least.

Stirring the pot
Whew boy did Charlotte put herself over or what? FOX wanted Charlotte because of the “numbers.” As to what numbers she was referring to, well, your guess is as good as mine. She said she won five of her 12 titles on SmackDown and is surprised they don’t have a giant poster of her declaring her the greatest, as an inspiration to others.
And out came the role models. Bayley told Charlotte to go back to NXT or Raw, because SmackDown is Bayley and Sasha’s show. Bayley is the most dominant champion in SmackDown history. But Charlotte decided to focus on Sasha and wanted to know if Sasha was content with being an afterthought. Sasha went to answer but Bayley interjected and said Charlotte will never know true friendship. Bayley wanted to fight tonight but Charlotte decided to pick next week. Sasha and the looks again!
I very much enjoyed this segment. Using her to start driving a wedge between Sasha and Bayley this way was great, and even greater that Charlotte is currently NXT women’s champion so she could use their time on that brand to goad Sasha. She used her and Sasha’s history to try and break up the role models.
Bayley did an excellent job cutting Sasha off and making sure she was the one doing all the talking. She is playing a perfect delusional heel. There’s weight on this because of their history. Everyone played their part perfectly, and I’m wondering when that trigger is going to be pulled.

Elias def. King Corbin - Corbin started the match so angry at Elias that he didn’t do his usual King shtick. Elias is forever a babyface for that .. Corbin worked Elias’ left shoulder, which would normally bore me but it looked rougher than usual. I appreciated the added rage on Elias’ part after Corbin grabbed his guitar. Corbin does not use a Spinebuster often, but I believe it should be in his arsenal more.
I did not see Elias winning here, mainly because Corbin is going to be on Raw!

Daniel Bryan def. Drew Gulak - The wrestling purists not named Cesaro got a lot of time to apply their craft. Kicked my feet back and took this all in. Watch this one. Bryan’s heel hook *chef’s kiss*. Gulak’s strength was on full display. Go watch. Go!
The former co-host of Talking Smack, Renee Young, interviewed Bryan and Bryan said that he would be a fighting champion with the IC title. He wants that title to represent the absolute best wrestler on SmackDown. Yes, please!

So many plans for Mandy - She asked what Mandy is actually good at, since she hasn’t won or been a great friend. She’s just blond and pretty. When that’s over Mandy will be in a double wide trailer with a bunch of screaming kids and Otis asking for a beer. “And Mandy, I have so many plans for you still!” She said she was going to ruin Mandy’s life and she and Dolph will humiliate her and Otis next week.
Goodness gracious. Sonya Deville killed it once again. Got a little Fatal Attraction vibe from her. Her face when she said that quoted line looked stalker-ish. Sonya is just below Bayley for top female heel.

The following announcement has been paid for by TFS - The Forgotten Sons had an nWo style intro to their backstage promo. Jaxson Ryker told us that they chose to serve their country to fight for something they believed in. But they weren’t welcomed back as heroes. So they will welcome us with closed fists.
This was fine. I hoped they wouldn’t be HEAVILY leaning into Forgotten Sons being vets, but oh well. Just give me a good story and I’ll like something. As long as they are booked well and don’t start coming to the ring waving American flags and saluting it, this shouldn’t be too bad.

Dana Brooke def. Naomi - Naomi lost to a woman who was clapping and playing to an invisible crowd. The same woman who thought she had won Money in the Bank by grabbing a briefcase in a conference room after being told the rules. I like Dana, don’t get me wrong, but why put Naomi in this spot? Not happy about that at all.

Next week we’ll see Styles vs. Nakamura and Hardy vs. Sheamus and I’m excited for those matches because one group is just starting a feud, while the other has a lot of history with each other. I didn’t think WWE was going to strip Sami Zayn of the title, but they needed to get it back on TV. SmackDown has been mainly the tag team show since WrestleMania and it was strange to just see Miz and Morrison this week, while Forgotten Sons had a quick promo. New Day’s absence was felt tonight.
The Intercontinental title matches will certainly be taking over as the main focus until Backlash. That’s fine with me because for a company with so many titles, there are so little tournaments. Give me more of these! Tournaments to determine #1 contenders are the best way to get fun matches on any show.

AfricaGalactic:
your argument is nonsensical. You’re essentially saying that quantity is greater than quality when it comes to measuring or evaluating talent and that is a ridiculous argument. You can believe Cavill is a better actor than Cox until you’re blue in the face; that’s your right. But measuring talent the way you are (“They’re the same age and one guy was in a bunch of blockbusters that were met with a lukewarm reception at best and the other was the headliner of a Netflix series!”) is one of the most ludicrous things I’ve seen on this forum all year.

dragonflyy:

another useless post

so now if I see an actor on the screen I have to go look up how many films he's made before i can estimate the quality of his performance?

your points are exhausted
Next!

Cottonmouth:

The numbers say otherwise? Hahahahahaha wetin this guy dey talk?

That if you are in a movie with a huge budget then you're a better actor than someone who is in a movie with a medium budget?

You are a clown . I suppose you think that Avengers: Endgame, Avatar and Titanic are the best movies in the world? 'Cause numbers don't lie. How about looking at critical acclaim for a change? Cavill has never been the lead in a project that got as much critical acclaim as Daredevil.

It's funny, one of Cavill's best reviewed movies is Stardust ...

which Cox is the lead in

Wow...imagine having this kind of reasoning or train of thought

3 of you will be alright....I hope..

nyarlathotep:
I am showing the flaw in your logic.

Popularity and number of blockbusters you're in means nothing in regards to talent or quality. It's a measure of popularity. That's not the same.

If your logic were true, The Rock would be a better actor than DDL.

Actually, your talent speaks for you..if you are talented enough and show it you would always be called on for these kind of projects..

If Cox is as talented as y'all claim he would have been a bigger deal than he is now..it's simple

All of you here backing Cox as a better actor are just talking about his role in Daredevil..that's his highest point/level, that's where his range stops..Cavill on the other hand has alot of range Comedy, Action, thrillers and almost all prominent roles...we have seen him helpless, we have seen him as a spy, we have seen him handle swords etc and he looks to just be getting started

Again this comparison isn't the same as comparing Daniel Day to the Rock in any way, they are totally different comparisons

Alright my bad, I've always taken blockbusters to be movies that make huge money, thanks to google, I have now been re-educated. Still, having said that, I still think that's not a good metric to judge an actors acting ability.

What other metric do you want to use? I agree this metric isn't really authentic

TV/Movies › Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe by pu7pl3(m): 2:51pm On May 15, 2020

losprince:
Dude to be fair, your comment invites ridicule. You are judging two actors based on their box office returns, that's bullocks.

B.O money isn't a reasonable metric to judge an actors acting ability.

This goes a long way to show you didn't even understand the comment...there was no place where I mentioned box office money..

I was talking about being in more "blockbusters" aka being in more high caliber movies... obviously those movies would make commercial success but that's another discussion..I was talking about being in them in the first place

you won't say he (Cox) never auditioned for them or that he wasn't interested in any of them at all

Exactly. To me neither is better. There's no way you can objectively decide one is better than the other. Personally, I find Charlie Cox more entertaining. But that's my preference.

Tmach137:
I ave seen a gud amount of both Cox and Cavill and lyk both as actors.
Cox is clearly more talented tho.

How?

I think his best acting performances has been in few TV shows but that's about it, apart from his good mainstream movie roles in Downton abbey,theory of everything (to an extent) and a few low-key music videos..that's his range and where his capabilities end so I don't see how he is more talented than Cavill

TV/Movies › Re: Marvel Cinematic Universe by pu7pl3(m): 1:55pm On May 15, 2020

To be honest with you Cavill is a decent actor but Cox is clearly the stronger actor of the two.

I would like to see what a stronger actor could do with Superman. I'd like to see Supes find his "Robert Pattinson"

Cavill is sort of in the realm of Affleck. He's a "good enough" type deal

What the hell is this? Affleck is like Cavill just "good enough" but Cox is superior? Can you even hear yourself

Cox was decent in just one series and all of a sudden he is a better actor than Cavill, even when the numbers clearly state otherwise..?

Okay, you are refuting numbers but what other parameters have you brought as measuring tools to back up your claim? Nothing..instead you resort to canceling my comments, throwing Jabs and making side comments like little kids deprived of thrills

He said Cavill is a better actor cause he gets more work in popular blockbusters.

So, by this popularity = best logic he presents, Mr Biggs is one of, if not the, best restaurant in Nigeria. Cause they get more business than most other restaurants.

So if I am not making any point, that shows a flaw in his argument.

Will he also want to try telling me The Rock is a better actor than Daniel Day-Lewis?

Lol.. Good luck with that argument

Can you listen to yourself at all? Daniel Day Lewis is an older and more accomplished actor with numerous awards and movies under his belt, why would I compare him to the Rock?

You have no point me man, it's obvious you just came here to twist logic

so finally it was Damien priest that attacked Balor...na wa o, I hope it turns out to be a good feud tho

Still no sign of Ciampa

Aliyah is still trying too hard to join the Robert stone brand

I didn't know Kyle o Reily was a movie star, that's nice...and it looks like Roderick will be the first to take care of the Dexter Lumis problem

Riddle lost the tag team straps to Imperium and now he is feuding with his interim partner Thatcher who walked out on him and then attacked him after the match..

Loved seeing the suicide squad. They made the film m0re entertaining for me than say the titans or jl dark guys. I'm sure the titans series has made me hate titans for real.

if not for the titans and JL dark they wouldn't have stood any chance against Darkseid
