Amy Adams is Lois Lane: - Part 6

[hopefuldreamer]

Yeah I am a big fan of Amy in concept as Lois. I mean we could always go for the amazonian hot looking actress like Olivia Wilde but, ultimately I think Lois needs to be played by someone who is a sweet tough person who has alot of gumption as well as natural innocence and optimism. Having a very optimistic actress lets it be easier to slip into the guise of a hard edged buisness woman, because it's being tougher than she really is. Then letting her natural innocence and optimism shine through when it needs to, then we know it's genuine because Amy has pretty genuine innocence.

That's something I've found with all the Lois Lane actresses. There isn't a single hard edge to them. Well perhaps not Margot Kidder. But even she is a warm, funny, hardworking woman.

There's something about Olivia Wilde that's just, yeah she's hot but she's not the natural sweetness that Amy is. I think it makes sense when it's shown on-screen because they suddenly seem so very in-character then you wonder why you ever doubted them in the first place. It's like, Olivia might fit the bill in terms of the hot, striking amazonian princess like she is drawn in the comics but she wouldn't be able to bring the personality to the screen that is needed. I suppose everyone was just expecting her because they thought Zack Synder casts on looks.

But I still wish she had darker hair. I don't see why she particulary needs light ginger hair. Especially since it takes away a huge aspect of Lois Lane's personality. She's just not that girl who was created way back in 1938 and was fantastically drawn by Joe Shuster. That particular image of Lois Lane is going to stay with me forever and I like to see when actresses try to fit that image as much as they possibly can. Not having dark hair is a major downfall for me not accepting her fully as the classic Lois Lane IMO.

Agree with everything you said

Check these out: Superman Sunday Comic Strips 1939-1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944

Joe Shuster gave Lois has red hair

If you've grown up knowing Lois as a dark haired woman you're entire life, how is discovering she was a red head in the sunday comic strips going to change how you feel?

It's still going to be difficult for you as an individual to see Lois Lane in Amy, because you've never known her as a redhead.

Sure, maybe if I'd grown up reading the Sunday comic strips, or watching the George Reeves show, I'd be like 'oh cool, they're going back to ginger like they had her when I was growing up'.

But I didn't grow up with those images of Lois. In fact, most people were barely even aware of them before Amy was cast and all of a sudden they became some sort of defence.

I've grown up knowing Lois as a dark haired woman. It's just a part of how I see her. And it's quite difficult to let go of that image, because to me it is iconic.

I mean, I died my hair from blonde to brunette because I wanted to be her

If my Catwoman costume doesn't work out, I could always go as Amy's Lois Lane.

I'm sorry, has she previously always been portrayed with a tan?

Cause in my memory, Lois is often pale. Teri Hatcher was shockingly pale. A lot of the comics images are very pale too...

I don't recall if Lois has been tan or pale. Being pale is the least of Amy's problems of why I can't fathom her as Lois Lane. I personally prefer the look of redheads with paler skin, but that is just my personal opinion. Amy being pale as a ghost seems to be a problem for Rockstar, for me its the face that is killing me. Even if they wanted a redhead they seriously couldn't find one out of the 100s of actresses who could look the part, be closer in age to her male lead, be at least a little bit attractive and still be able to act?! People keep bringing up Olivia Wilde like she is the only good looking actress out there; either her or Megan Fox, like the people who don't like Amy as Lois only care about the looks and just want Lois to have T*A and nothing else.
Also every picture of Lois someone posts with her having red hair, has the picture painted with either dark red hair, or hair that is black with red streaks. I have yet to see one where she is supposed to have hair the color of Amy's.
Also, though I love Superman Doomsday, I did not like Lois Lane, not her look and especially not her voice by Anne Heche. Probably the worst voice over I have heard in a Superman movie, not counting Darkseid in Superman/Batman Apocalypse. I recall some people wondering if Lois was supposed to be Mexican in Superman Doomsday.

Some fan pics from the set of a new movie she is filming with Clint Eastwood, "Trouble With The Curve." Looking good to me.

[Prime]

She's so HIDEOUS!!!

Yeeees! If they ever do a remake of The Elephant Man, they should cast Amy as John Merrick. They'll save on all the make up expenses and such.....

 

[Lily Adler]

That casting is OPRAH approved!

No-one is doubting Amy is ugly. Well perhaps a select few who are very wrong in the head. But people just don't want to see Lois as a pale ginger. Not just because they think she looks better with darker hair but because a whole new generation will now think Lois is a ginger and will be confused as hell when they go back and see she was always with dark hair.

 

[elgaz]

Well if people are that stupid, they're going to be even more 'confused as hell' when they go back before MOS came along and see that Superman had a different suit, Zod looked different, Perry White wasn't black, and Jonathan Kent looked to be in his 80s.

Things change in long running media like this all the time : it's called progression. Sure, they can keep Lois (and Superman and anyone else) looking and behaving exactly as they always did for the next 50 years, but that would ultimately become boring. As long as they nail the character, I don't think it really matters one bit how tanned she is or what shade her hair is exactly.

Not just because they think she looks better with darker hair but because a whole new generation will now think Lois is a ginger and will be confused as hell when they go back and see she was always with dark hair.

Oh no! Ginger Lois? Their minds will explode when they realize Perry White was white!

I promised myself not to post in this thread because obviously I think she's not the right person to play Lois Lane, AND even worse, as a red-head no less (Lois Lane is supposed to be brown/chestnut haired!). I have my back-up reasons.

I just wanted to say that dress is hideous! The bottom half is okay, but the top half... Those breasts are just horribly squeezed to mush and look like they can pop out any minute.

Sorry. I just needed to get it of my chest... You get it? Off my chest? Muwhahaha!

Okay, that was not funny, I know.

Is feeling better now?

Well, I found she beautiful, and yes, his bust was the highlight of the video.

 

[Any Carolina]

Amy is Caucasian, and I prefer her like that, than with a tanning artificial...
