Superman Returns Have your thoughts about the suit changed?

[Scooter]

You mean the ones reflected in the mirror that are visible? I thought you did layout

Cheap shot, I know, but those arms are pretty damned big, man.

As far as what Sebas changed, he did his typical "Morph into a Reeve Routh composite" thing. He hardened the jaw, thickened up the face and neck, widened the shoulders and the hip area, and it looks like he shrunk the ass and thighs just a tad.

of course, with a month left to go, we're still arguing Routh's build, which seems a tad obsessive at this point, but whatever

Hmm, hardened the jaw, thickened the neck, and widened the shoulders...sounds like he morphed him into Superman...

It could be He-man.

Or Conan. Yeah, I want my Superman to have Conan's body...

[MatchesMalone]

I don't get it...you want him to look like an anti-hotlink Angelfire jpg?

 

[Scooter]

Dammit.

No big deal and certainly not relevant to the forum, but as a long time fan of Conan I must reply.

Conan's physique as written by Howard, was not a body builder's either. No where near the bulky mass of Schwartzeneggar.

I know, but Ahnuld owned that role. Earl Jones was even better.

Did you know that He-man was created because Mattel made all these action figures for Conan the Movie? Mattel screened the movie, and realized that it would be rated R and definitely be not for kids. So they had all these action figures in production, and they quickly created a new character - He-Man!

Another fun fact - Ahnuld actually had to stop weight training his lats so he could weild the sword properly during filming.

Verrrrrrry interesting stuff, thanks.

We're are wandering off target here, but it's very easy to own a role when you are the only portrayer of the role so far(discounting Ralf Moeller).
Thought Sandahl Bergman owned that film.

I think you all should realize, by now, that Oldguy will be slightly disappointed by any representation of Superman in live-action that does not look like this:

I mean, is it too much to ask?

Is this planet a cube? Why am I the only one who's disappointed that Carrot-top could kick Superman's ass?

Oh and watch out for his secondary mutation...pumpkin tendrils.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Carrot-top can't lift an SUV.....Superman can. Superman is strong because he's from another planet....not because he's a body builder.

 

[Oldguy]

I thought Routh was Superman? Are you saying he isn't?

 

[Oldguy]

Hmm, hardened the jaw, thickened the neck, and widened the shoulders...sounds like he morphed him into Superman...

Oh no, only Reeve looked like that. After '78 DC liked Reeve so much they went back in time and redrew every issue so the character looked more like him.

 

[Venom71]

I thought Routh was Superman? Are you saying he isn't?

No Routh is the actor who is the just the right size to play Superman...Pumped up Carrot-Top wouldn't make a good Superman..Superman shouldn't look like he is on steroids.

 

[Oldguy]

Carrot-top looks like he's on steroids to you? They don't have gyms in trailer parks do they?

 

[Wilde]

Ok, are you actually saying that you don't think Carrot Top is on steroids?!

Wow, a new level of idiocy. Congratulations Oldguy.

 

[Showtime]

Actually, didn't CarrotTop say that he was taking steroids outright?

 

[Fatboy Roberts]

Oh no, only Reeve looked like that.

LOL, but that wasn't what I was getting at. Sebas has admitted before that when he goes to work on a Routh image, he's not trying to make it look like Superman--he's trying to clone Reeve out of Routh. Comic fidelity doesn't factor into it, Sebas just really likes Christopher Reeve.

And Wilde--Carrot Top isn't on steroids. He's hippie as hell, he's into that wheatgrass stuff or whatever. GNC supplements made out of granola and such.

Jesus, a month before release and we're all seriously discussing Carrot Top vs Brandon Routh. More than enough time to have gained some sort of ACCEPTANCE that things are the way they are by this point, c'mon...

I could have sworn he admitted he did but I can't find the article, so I can't say it's fact.

 

[Fatboy Roberts]

We interviewed the guy awhile ago. I remember saying his eyebrows looked like Spock got a Queer Eye makeover. He didn't dig that much. But we did touch on how jacked he is, and he denied any steroid use.

Lies are funny.

It's SHH man, we're having twisted fun. Relax, enjoy the ride. you spend so much time and energy trying to point out what is and isn't appropriate conversation, you can't be having any fun.

Now, back to celebrity death match, Carrot-top v.s. Routh. Predictions?

I say Routh is tough to take down, what with being built like a weeble and all, but once Carrot-top unleashes the Rabbit-patch, it's all over.

 

[Venom71]

Carrot-top looks like he's on steroids to you? They don't have gyms in trailer parks do they?

I wouldn't know...I live in a house.....and I even have cable...amazing ain't it...go take your pills and quit being such a grump

Ok then. I was dreaming.

I'm never grumpy when yer around. You always bring a smile to my face.

Admit it, you feel the same.

 

[Fatboy Roberts]

Lies are funny.

Dude, people CAN and DO get that big without any steroid use.

Jesus, I don't even really give a s**t what that asshat shoves in his body. What the hell am I doing

Relax, enjoy the ride.

I'm a ride enjoying motherf**ker, motherf**ker. You aint got to sweat that.
