Superman Returns The Official Brandon Routh IS Superman thread.

[bweurk]

Dude... I'm from Spain. Spain has NO prime minister. We call him "Presidente del Gobierno", which technically means he IS a president. And no... we didn't choose Zapatero because of that. We chose him because the former government lied about who had done the bombings of the train the 11th of March (elections were the 14th). The former government was saying it was ETA when everybody already knew it was Al-Qaeda. All the polls were giving them as the winners up until then, in fact the only doubt there was was if they would have absolute majority or not. In 8 years of government the ONLY mistake of the former government had been the Irak thing and we weren't going to kick them out for only one mistake. They screwed it in 3 days (from the 11th to the 14th of March) by trying to gain power by any means which included lieing. Since we had a dictatorship not so long ago we were quite susceptible in that matter and it hurt us in such a way that we just HAD to give them a lesson about democracy and kick them out though the oposition had NO programme... now the current socialist government is paying the consequences of this and although they were popular for certain decisions (Soldiers coming home, gay marriage...) their popularity is going down because those popular decisions don't mean crap when the economy is going to hell and the prices are shooting up like a rocket. The former government party is already ahead again in the polls (and most probably will win the next elections if this continues lik it is) and if there is (God forbid) another Al-qaeda attack in Spain (since the socialist party promised that we would never suffer islamist terrorism attacks) it'll mean the anticipated end of this government... the other day the current socialist Defense Minister was beaten up in a protest in favor of the terrorism victims for the concessions they're making to the Bask nationalists, tat's the real situation of Sapin right now. In the government change Iraq had NOTHING to do, and if you think it's a stable government you're very wrong. The international press has been feeding with a lot BS and misinformation regarding our political situation. What's more scary is that we're leaning towards a radicallity of political thinking that is too similar to the ones that lead to our Civil War... we just don't learn about our mistakes...

sorry for my mistakes, in France, on the news, they always say "prime minister of Spain"......

 

[SuperYo]

Agree with this!!!

Well... it's actually the same thing more or less... it's just the name that changes. The function is the same as a Prime Minister. No problem with what you said. I just wanted to play a joke on how bad our politicians are...

 

[Bad Superman]

So. . . Brandon Routh is Superman. . . .any news of him?

 

[Crazymaverick]

How can anyone honestly say Welling looks more like Superman than this guy?

 

[King Krypton]

Agree with this!!!

No thanks. I'd rather have this:

I think, politicians are always bad..... may be people expect too much from them...

 

[Lobo]

When does "Deadly" come out? And are you going to see it to see Routh's acting ability or do you want the first time you see Routh on screen to be \S/ ?

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Welling looks more like Superman than this guy.... and his head is proportional to his body too

But it is, as they say, a moot point at this juncture...

 

[SHAZAM!]

Now that is MY Superman! If they really tried, they could have gotten Welling, but they didn't even bother because Singer wanted an unknown, an unknown who looks NOTHING like Superman obviously. But there's nothing we can do now.

How could they do this to Superman fans? What a disgrace...

And I'm actually suprised there are Welling fans still out there. It seems to me everyone dumped on him when Routh got the role.

They didn't do it too Superman Fans they did it too Welling Fans.....Big Difference...Welling isn't Superman! ROUTH IS!

 

[StarvingArtist]

You know, I hate to perpetuate another Welling rant, but how the hell can anyone go so far as to say Routh looks NOTHING like Superman and say Welling does? Welling doesn't have a square jaw, his nose is wide with constantly flaring nostrils, and his lips are ginormous. Superman.....doesn't.....look.....like....that. Period. He has in general hardly ever been drawn with any of those features let alone all of those features together. Sure an artist here and there may have put their personal stamp on their rendering of Superman by giving him whatever feature; but all around, Superman has thinner lips, a big square jaw, and a smallish nose sans raging bull nostrils. They chose Welling because he has a boyish face and would attract female fans because Smallville is Dawson's Creek but with Superman. Not because he was the spitting image of Superman per se. Routh's Jaw is huge, his nostrils aren't gaping, and his lips aren't nearly as Jolie as Wellings. Welling could very well be "an interpretation" of superman (he's not even superman, if anything he's the equivalent of superboy) but that's it. Routh fits that generic Superman look so much more, not to mention his voice is a hell of a lot deeper then Wellings.

That is like one of the worst TW manips, ever. He face looks round, plus he looks like a babyface in that picture. Not to mention a bit feminine.

You could've picked a better one than that.

Yes it is, indeed.

Don't you mean, "How could they do this to Smallville fans?"

Look, I think Tom Welling is certainly attractive. But come on. Saying that Brandon Routh looks "nothing like Superman" at this point is just fanboy bitterness on parade (especially if Batgirl's description of his ripped body is anywhere close to accurate). At least wait until the movie comes out before you talk about Singer's casting of the role being a "disgrace."

And am I the only person who's tired of the Welling vs. Routh nonsense?

Uh...I hate to break it to you, but WELLING DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY THE ADULT SUPERMAN. He had his chance and turned it down repeatedly.

If you're going to be a "Superman fan," the least you could do is respect Welling's decision. If he didn't want it, Singer was well within his rights to cast someone else. (And as for this Superman fan, I would have avoided this film like the plague if it had been a Smallville spinoff, so color me pleads that Wellign turned it down.)

 

[superfever]

feel sad for welling as his fans can only see him as clark kent. afraid that his acting career will come to an end after smallville.

I wouldn't be surprised, if it doesn't he'll just get typecasted into playing a young farm boy in tv movies.

Speak for yourself, but you're not helping things but bringing this **** up again.

It'll just keep goin' round and round, with no end in site.

Believe me, been there. Done that.

The posts between this one and yours is probably all the proof you need to see for yourself the level of victriol that most around are more than eager to jump into should anyone speak even the remotest like they don't like Singer's choice.

And the rest of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Come on, he's obviously just a noobie trying to stir things up and you all fell for it.

I guess I'm going to be taking another little break from here until the Welling bash fest dies down...

What Ruthmarks said: enough is enough and I'm sick of the arguing.

You should all stop it right now before it degenerate further.

Nope.

Happy now??

Also gonna tell Dan El from S-V that you ragged on his manip skills

 

[The Sage]

Happy now??

Better.

 

[The Watchman]

Man, I thought all this Welling stuff would've died out by now...

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

If only people would stop bringing him up in every thread it would...
