The Official Mark Strong & Sinestro Thread

[Nivek]

Strong is awesome, can't wait to see him be Sinestro.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Not only did Sherlock Holmes assure myself that Strong could make a great Sinestro, but he's also got a Dracula thing going on. Fingers crossed.

I'm sorry, but the design is ridiculous. It's almost too faithful to the material. It's silly. It looks like a fan manip.

We can see less than 50% of his face.

It's a bit early to make a decision like that.

 

[Paradoxal]

^Agreed. Also, I did a sketch of what his face will look like when we can see the whole thing. In my opinion, it looks pretty good. Faithful (as it should be), but cool enough to be acceptable in live action.

No one is ever happy. To me strong looks like he really has pinkish skin and not make-up, and that's a good thing. Besides its obvious that he would have simply pinkish skin and yellow eyes, the character in the comics doen't really look alien but like a man with non human colored skin and eyes. I think strong's performance and his eyes wil be the elements that will sale the character.

This. While makeup is important, I do think Strong's will do a good enough job to get people to look past the makeup. He's good enough to deliver a great performance under the makeup.

I said makeup a lot in the previous post. Oops. I wish I had better word choice....

The only thing I'm not big on is the scars. But outside of that, I think he looks pretty damn good so far. Now if the first good shot of him has a mullet, I won't be happy.

Wow, I never thought this was a possible argument.

 

[Brian Braddock]

It's certainly rare to see a gripe like that on these boards.

Honestly I think the scars are a nice touch. It makes him look less cartoony and like more of a bad-a**.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

The scars are very fitting and I hope the comics adapt that.

 

[dnno1]

Scars are the mark of a tough guy. Just ask John Rambo.

 

[Octoberist]

And proof that people will object no matter what.

 

[DarkKnight FTW]

I second that!

 

[Octoberist]

I'm all for different opinion but there's times in geekdom when certain people would cross the threshold of 'huh'.

 

[Brian Braddock]

How dare you - I object!

 

[The Caped Knight]

Sinestro looks amazing

 

[The Guard]

He looks phenomenal, at least in terms of his face. His arm designs kind of resemble his Sinestro Corps outfit.

 

[Cousin Itt]

Can't wait to see Sinestro kick some ass.

[Doctor Jones]

I'm really surprised they kept the bigger forehead.

 

[Cousin Itt]

I gotta say as somebody who had read most of the GL comics from the 60's to now seeing Sinestro come to life like this is freaking amazing.

He just looks great.

So am I a little bit, but it actually looks better than what I imagined a more normal sized head would be.
