The Official Tom Welling Thread

[AgentPat]

I didn't know that when you go to the gym to get some muscles your face gets bigger too.

Everything gets bigger. Well... maybe not everything LOL, but you know what I mean. It's part of needing to eat. And eat. And eat some more.

Look at these faces...

Not exactly sunken-in, y'know?

I can see Alex Ross nodding in approval from here.

 

[Pixiedust]

INCREDIBLE! I can only hope this is a tiny peek into one aspect of season 6!!!

Not getting my shipper hopes up but I would love to see some playful banter between Clark and Lois like that. They have incredible chemistry. I want to see their friendship flourish. There is so much potential for great stuff between those two. I hope they don't disappoint.

Good lord.. All that charm and appeal in one simple smile.
Talk about Super*******man. Dayumn, I ask again.. What the HELL is wrong with some people? I'll never get it.

(sorry.. my babbling and pottymouth are on overdrive. Hard day at work, ya know?)

I am just going to quietly agree over here.

Carry on.

I didn't think so.



Carry on.

Something funny I saw today in the mall. Saw a magazine with an article on SR and they had on the side some bits on Super-productions and curiosities. One of them was about the so-called Superman curse, they mentioned Chris's acident and George Reeves killing himself and at the end they said "Tom Welling's movie career stuck to the Cheaper By The Dozen movies and a remake of the Fog." looooool
They actually said it was part of the curse, ignoring that Tom is only now starting his movie career and that his schedule limits his choices too.

Was this done recently? Does anyone know?

Eh, Eddie was always cheeky.

Arnie not so much.

 

[AgentPat]

^ Point made with Arnie, but Welling's face appears wider than normal because his chin is so short. Like Platz, it's just the natural shape of his face...

Another thing is, how often do we see Tom's hair pulled off his face like that? Not too much, eh?

Man! But his neck is looking really beefy these days. How anybody could say he looks "fat" is beyond me. His chin may be short, but I only see ONE of 'em in each of those pics up there. LOL

 

[Whiteflag]

I think his chin is perfect!

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

There's a Tom Welling vs Brandon Routh (who's made more impact on this generation as Superman) poll at Super-world for those of you interested in voting.

Platz eh? Glad to see you're well-versed, Pat.

I got to meet Jay Cutler when I lived in Mass. Biggest dude I've ever seen and a helluva nice fella to boot, same with his wife.

Brandon Routh's got my vote .

 

[TKodami]

Brandon Routh's got my vote .

Ultimately, he got my vote too, but only by splitting hairs about Tom Welling not being Superman quite yet. TW's very Supermanly in his portrayal of young(ish) CK, and he will eventually become the man in tights...but for the time being, BR nabbed my vote.


I'm feeling a bit pathetic because I actually agonized over this vote.

Tom isn't superman yet, AOT : already said " In SMALLVILLE SUPERMAN doesn't exits yet"

Tom's Clark doesn't act like THE MAN OF STEEL. he act's like an Imature boy, who still hasn't grown up . By the end of the series Tom will be Superman . but right now he's nothing like Sups or Mild Mannered reporter Clark Kent .

 

[KalKai]

Let's start by saying that they're both playing different roles, so you can't really compare, but..

As far as I'm concerned, Routh doesn't even come close. What I saw in that movie wasn't Superman, it's just the name of the movie, and considering how that movie is doing right now, the General Audience obviously didn't like it and prefers to watch other things, and that can't be good for Routh.

The 1 who made more impact on this generation remains Welling, playing CK for 5+ years and continuing.

He doesn't play Superman, he doesn't have a suit yet, but I still see Superman when I look at him, looking at articles about him, you read "Superman".

Now that's a load of BULL, I've seen SR 8 time total already and every theater I've went to has had huge ling up's with people wearing superman \S/ shirts . The only reason SR isn't number 1 @ The BO is because Johnny Deep in POTC 2 . If POTC wasn't out yet. SR would still be in the lead. and even thought POTC 2 is making more money than SR. SR is still making money .

Yeah to woman ,

But to Superman fans both of the movies & the comics plus The other incarnations before sv . Saytheir sick of Clark not growing up and becoming SUPERMAN, like he's ment to be .

Bingo! Couldn't have said it better.

Y'see, the "problem" with that poll (especially for fence sitters), is that there's one answer for two different questions:

• Who gave the better performance?
• Who is the definitive Superman for this generation overall?

Those are two VERY unrelated questions.

In terms of performance - like uh... acting? My GAWD! Welling by a country mile. Puhleeeze.
(Ga head... wind me up; watch me go. Wheeeeeeeee! LOL)

The definitive Superman question is even harder since nobody has even seen Welling in the suit yet, so his M.O. as Superman really comes down to personal preference. As far as I'm concerned, the current flyboy with a suit doesn't hold a candle to the grounded version without one. At least the latter character has morals.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Breaking it down it's a matter of preference . {some people like welling, and other who love Smallville love welling, And other don't} plain and simple .

I for one still don't see Welling as THE MAN OF STEEl, and even if he wears the suit, I still don't think I'll see Welling as Sups. [due to 7 years of him as Teenager Clark jackass Kent]

Routh, on the other hand Amazed me, with his outstanding preformance as both Mild Mannered Reporter Clark Kent & As THE MAN OF STEEL : SUPERMAN . they picked a guy to take up and continue The LEGACY Reeve left behind .

You got some Serious Anger Management Issues (with any thing that has to do with Welling or smallville.) you need help .

Do you ever make any sense? Start accepting the cold reality, you and your blind fanboyism.

Blaming it all on PoTC now? Blame SR and everyone that had anything to do with it for it's poor success.

Yeah to woman

To women? LOL, no.

But to Superman fans both of the movies & the comics plus The other incarnations before sv . Saytheir sick of Clark not growing up and becoming SUPERMAN, like he's ment to be .

No, that's what YOU say.

As I just said to you not 5 min ago in Superworld. !@#@$!@@#!!
*I* could be outstanding as Superman/CK if all I had to deliver was 20 lines of dialogue!

God damnit.!!
