BvS Jesse Eisenberg IS Lex Luthor - Part 9

[Micromind]

Some wanted middle-aged, bald, experienced, evil businessman.

This is become a stereotypical for Lex, I'm glad that we are not going there.

He literally used the same words that you do in your sig. Are you saying that you are also childish?

Phantasm,Naked shia I will be ignoring your posts for now.

You raise very important pionts But the bolded is where we disagree.
You can change a CBMs character apperance as long as it doesnt contradict the character essence.
Tatoos on the joker dont contradict his essence.Hes a criminal,criminal.tatoos make sense.
Tatoos on Lex.on the other hand is unacceptable.He is too classy for that.
Lex isnt a young,hipster nerd so giving him that
look is contradictory to his character.Thats why the suave business look is best for Lex not this .
Lexs manner of speech is also important.It should not be this snobby,gleeful nerdy voice but a Cold,domineering one as that better fits his character.

Thanks to the changes,BVS lex comes across as . Young arrogant hipster cackling nerd villain to me.And thats not Lex.

I hope you can undeerstand

Phantasm, we made it!

Everything that doesn't mesh with the traditional or classic version of Lex is purely aesthetic. The arrogance, self importance and skills of subterfuge, coercion and machiavellian chicanery are all very much intact, from what's we've seen in the trailers. The fact that he doesn't talk like Barry White or dress like a typical businessman are totally unimportant - He presents himself and his business as being modern and likable, but that only runs skin deep. The argument that this 'changes the characters essence' is a pretty laughable one since this is more in line with the comics than Hackman and Spacey mugging for the camera and blathering about real estate.

Also, the notion that there should be a status quo that no medium can deviate from is a ridiculous one. Yes, the line has to be drawn somewhere - look at the suggestions that Joker is Robin - but this is as valid a take on the character as any other.

Excellent post. Also, this is why people saying that this Lex reminds them of Hackman and Spacey are full of s*** and just looking for reasons to be negative.

This is far more interesting than Donald Trump without the wig.

In my opinion, in case someone feels the need to point that out.

 

[Naked Shia]

but is your opinion humble?

while the interior of Lex's house was shot in a Detroit museum, but we never get to see his bedroom. Why is that significant? "Everything is a facade. You have no access to what is inside Lex."

Love that quote. As we see with the B/W photo of bald Jesse... There is lots under the surface of his Lex.

May I bother you for a link?

I loved that pic we got with Lex at the bball court. Looking good. Oh, and I just recently watched the trailer for Jesse's new film, American Ultra. That looks like a pretty awesome time.

I am surprised you approve of the look Moose.

How so? I haven't really been negative of Eisenberg's iteration of Lex.

 

[SuperAl]

The only thing i wonder is does Lex consider himself an evil person or is he doing what hes doing because he thinks its right. Hes just doing it behind the scenes because he knows it'll be considered unethical.

I imagine he is experimenting on Zod's body (might i add that is awesome that Shannon came back to BvS for this)

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

More I read and see from Jesse's Lex, the more excited I am for him.

It's just surprising is all. I can understand someone being turned off by it.

Someone who thinks they're right is always a much better and scarier villain than one who is just 2 dimensional "Evil" person.

So now we know the truth. EisenLex is based on...

Christian Grey.

Ah, I see... that explains why I haven't been able to find it.

Well at least we now know why he's making Supes kneel.

Damn!

It also explains why Wonder Woman is in this movie, with her lasso. Marston would be so proud.

Nah, boss. Lex looks pretty awesome for what they're going for. Just in general, I've been impressed with Jesse.
