Guardians of the Galaxy Drax The Man on the Sax: a Thread for the Destroyer

[ThePowerCosmic]

Watch Momoa go over to WB and is eventually Lobo or some s**t like that.

He messed up with Marvel.

So I attempted my first manip: Manu Bennett as Drax

Wouldn't be a bad rendering if you darkened the colors considerably. The red and green are too bright right now --- looks way too cartoonish.

The first thing I thought when I saw that was: "Green Curly Howard?!?" t:

If Momoa has turned this down, he is a fool plain and simple, he would have been in a number of movies, and would have been one of the main characters as well. Cant understand why anyone would turn this role down, let alone someone who is barely known.

 

[CastlesInTheAir]

Thats why I think its BS. Either he and his agents are mentally challenged, or El Maybe is pulling things out of his ass.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Well its why I put if at the start of my post, until we hear something official, I'll keep an open mind to what has gone on.

 

[CastlesInTheAir]

I'm not a big fan of Momoa, but honestly, now that I've seen his picture and Drax side to side, I can't really see anyone else in the role at the moment. Visually, he looks like the comic book character come to life, physique, face, snarl and all. And I've seen him in enough things to know he could pull it off. If he doesn't get cast I'll get over it, but I just can't get over how cool Momoa would look with the green make up and all.

 

[Brian Braddock]

If Momoa has turned this down then it's pretty myopic thinking. The fella [and/or his agent] need to look long-term at what being in a Marvel movie could do for his career.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

or El Maybe is pulling things out of his ass.

I find this vastly more likely that a presumably smart and ambitious actor and his agent turning down a huge career opportunity. But we shall see. Hopefully soon.

In light of saw how el maybe trolled DC fans yesterday, his week-long pimping of the Planet Hulk nonsense and other antics, that's probable.

 

[TheVileOne]

El Mayimbe is an unprofessional troll.

It's one thing to say, "Ok we have a big announcement coming up." Or post on your own Twitter feed and Facebook, but don't come here and troll us and dangle the carrot and tell us OK HERE IT IS . . . SIGN UP FOR OUR MAILING LIST!

 

[metaphysician]

I don't know, I would argue he's a *professional* troll, given he seems to make money off of it.

 

[TheVileOne]

Eh, however you want to say it I suppose.

Did anyone believe any of that Planet Hulk stuff for even a millisecond? I laughed when I read about it. No way Marvel is going Planet Hulk.

 

[TheVileOne]

Also how did he troll DC fans?

I didn't. I'm glad to see AICN call El Maybe out on it. And I'm glad to hear they're not going to waste Mark Ruffalo's talent on a Banner-less Hulk film.

 

[TheVileOne]

Not surprised. Wish people would call El Mayimbe out for his reporting fails.

his multiple fails. As I have said, he's credible posts are things that have already been confirmed. and looking at his video about the scoop, the guy is a tool

 

[T"Challa]

Also how did he troll DC fans?

He told them the week before the Oscars that he had this big scoop concerning Justice League movie and that he would release the scoop on Oscar Sunday. Sunday came and went, and so did Monday, and then he said he was just making sure everything was right legally etc.

The 'scoop" turned out to be a fan made Wonder woman trailer.

lmao

 

[Mr. Dent]

TheVileOne, it seems like every post I read from you is an indictment of El Mayimbe. You sure do like to give him free publicity to hate him so much. >.>

The poster who said he was a professional troll was right.

No one even reports that people within Marvel said his garbage about Planet Hulk and World War Hulk was fake.

Also to Mr. Dent, it annoys me that so many people online March to El Mayimbe's beat. It also annoys me that people report a lot of his lies as the truth and it never really gets pointed out when its wrong.

Also when he trolled the forums with his mailing list garbage.

Same as Alexei's boorish behavior here also annoyed me. Especially when I would actually point out how his arguments were factually wrong and he ignored them. He acted like was some insider and expert that knew how the industry and the film-making process worked when he didn't.

I understand that but it seems like every post you make these days is about how much he sucks. I'm just saying if you don't want people to pay attention to him don't talk about him all the time.

Also, I wouldn't necessarily call his scoops lies so much as reaches. He probably does have a source telling him 'x' will happen but in all likelihood it's probably more of a concept being kicked around than a real thing. Now, it is dastardly how he takes what might be pretty much a concept and hypes it up as this big absolute scoop to build up viewership and his stupid mailing list and twitter followers, but you talking about him so much isn't really hurting his cause.

 

[TheVileOne]

People will pay attention to him no matter what. He seems to have a devoted fanbase of followers. I think here is as good a place as any to discuss.

I understand what you are saying. But I am trying to draw attention in a way to mainly how he gets things wrong.
