Am i the only one that thinks hed make the most entertaining Namor the Submariner ever? Namor is exactly the Arrogant Dick that everyone loves becuase hes so charismatic that Dwayne Johnson was born to play. Shazam needs to be played as a shy boyscoutish child in a mans body who is uncertain...

I was mainly talking in hypertheticals just to say. I guess my point was that there is or was no reason not to mix things up for casting the reboot films, yes in the other shows there was just as much diversity including a female lead in voyager and black lead in DS9, but new people...

Yeah thats a fair point, i can talk about non marvel characters it was only because i was thinking about capt America before you mentioed 1890s avengers. That was my Bad, i know they were never actually a part of the Soviet Union but assumed that they had ties at cetain points as territories...

Oh god yes my bad, did i say USSR? i thought it just had ties with the Soviet Union at points. You have a point there, someone could write that!

Of cource yeah, becuase Kirk is the protagonist who gets the most screen time and development. This is part of the problem i think, when you have a smaller supporting character of an certain ethnicity representing a whole nation it can sometimes descend into tokenism, fortunately the original...

Haha yes of course, I probably should have mentioned ive been talking in Ideals this entire time. Its funny when these discussions come around people tend to call racist casting, Personally ive always found it hard to beleive that Hollywood producers, or at least the intelligent ones, cast or...

I agree with most of what you say, and of course when its alternate universe there are no rules. I would only say when making a straight adaption some of those characters would have to stay as they are and others wouldnt if you wanted it to not break suspension of disbelief. Capt.America...

Just to say that my point is that The purpose of Star Trek was to have a diverse cast with each one being representative of a nation or laegue of nations, so having Sulu be Caucasian would not be whitewashing him in a cast of white actors becuase ideally the rest of a cast would be diverse as...

I pretty much agree with you, the Nazi's of course didnt just put Jewish people in the camps, so it could be interesting if there was an x-men adaptation where Magneto was for example a black french or german national. Also i listed Storm as someone whos actor should probably be African or...

Hi there all, im sorry if this has been a Topic before on the forums,( which it undoubtably has), but with the recent rumours going about that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is being considered for the role of Cpt.Marvel/ Shazam in an upcoming Movie ive seen in a few places people questioning this...

So only cable companies can show smoking? i thought AMC was a major channel in America, and Mad Men is basically 'SMOKING the series'

Robocop 3. Go back and watch both Robocop 1 and 2 together. Robocop 2 ends with the set up for a great conclusion to the overarching plot of Omnicorp trying to privatise the entire of Detroit and the fact that Murphy and Lewis are going to have to eventually go rogue from the Omnicorp owned...

. well it wasnt that your meant to worship the writing it was just meant to be holy and a rule of the muslim faith is that this writing (its in a particular style cant rember wnat it looked like), can never bee looked at from a geographically lower position. i mean, when i was in the...

yep, i was in a mosque in turkey with a picture with similar writing, and it was placed high on a wall, this girl had similar writing on her art work and no one could be 'geographically positioned below her work' thanks for the welcome btw, ive been on this site many times but this is the...
