Tom Welling as Superman Manips

[triplet]

No, it's not funny.

Not at all, but you haven't been around long enough to know what went on here 'bout a year or so ago.

Tempers still flare over the casting...

Some people can't believe that others don't like who was cast. (And despite what some people may think, it's not so much as who WASN'T cast as who WAS....)

Tempers still flare over the casting...

And they really shouldn't. What's done is done. I wish everyone would just freakin' move on. I truly think that most sane, mature people have.. but the trolling keeps rearing it's really ugly head.

By all accounts the movie is looking to be awesome.. That's great news for all the people who are dying to see this film, casting and all. I'm not personally that excited, but I'm happy for those who are.

We've also still got a full season of SV to come, and it's sounding like it's going to be amazing one - possibly the best ever. Now THIS I'm excited for.

Really.. just put the trolls on Ignore, life is so much easier. A little joking around is one thing, hell, we all joke around.. but trolling (i.e. only posting here to to take passive/aggresive shots at TW and SV) shouldn't be tolerated or acknowleged.

DITTO! I watched Commencement again this morning and thought about some of the potential story lines for S5. S4 was fun and interesting, but S5 is going to be the ballz! And not fer nuthin, but I'll take another YEAR's worth of a Superman that touches my heart over two hours of summer movie popcorn fare ANY day of the week.

Suffice it to say, my anticipation for September is almost agonizing!

I think that says it all right there. I think alot of fans think that Superman (the real one as they see it) is about the suit, the special effects, the fights, the great blockbuster ride, the Godlike aproach. And because Smallville is too human, they label it like Dawson's Creek etc etc.
Superman is so much more than that. Tom Welling, Gough, Millar, Loeb (why would even possibly the greatest Superman writer and DC Comics - by the way SV is the only live action production in tv or movie who is ACTUALLY supervised by DC - even associate with the show if it wasn't true to the essence of the character ?) and company have all shown us that.
And the fact that it got so popular and Welling (the star from the little tv show as they say) got so popular but for the first time got acepted as a Superman ppl believe in (and he doesn't even wear the suit !) and was by far the people's (the vast majority of it as no one is an uninamity, sadly not even Chris) choice and even got Chris's aproval, is one tough pill for so many people to swallow.
And they can't acept the fact that even now with more pictures/footage, so free minded people are not willing to eat up what Singer (I guess we were supposed to just because he did X-2) and Warner are trying to shove down our throats.
That's not to say it won't be a good summer ride, a well directed special effects product.

Overall, Im happy that we have both. It does sadden me to see people not excited for both. Its really a great time to be a Superman fan. Im going to give Routh a chance because he deserves that. He did beat out alot of people for the role. Even though Welling will always be Superman to me, just like Reeve, Routh should be given the opportunity to at least prove himself IMO. He could suck, or he could essentially be a lesser Reeve only. I would have liked a new take on Superman, but at least its being based on a previous version with tons of merit.

Anyhow, back on topic...

Nice statment, but we all know Routh Beat no one for the role. SInger had his mind set on who he wanted and no named actor was going to get the role. its that simple.

Of course, because Routh was the only option since last July.....Hey, if Routh turns out half as good as most people/fans/reporters were saying the reports, Routh will be a hit. And Singer will look like a genius for finding this guy.

I agree with most the statements above, Serene and Dark...it's a good time to be a Superman fan right now. There's no rule that says you can't enjoy Smallville and SR. (I personally do) However, as I've said before, to me Smallville is pre-dinner salad to the huge course to follow. After the reports, I'm more excited than ever.....and Sept. can't come soon enough either.

sweet that is just great, just looking at the costume i can clearly see what crap singer made. if you look at that neck line it low, it shows his collar bone very manily indeed.

It looks like a poster for "Saw"

Ok ok, it looks more like a poster for Se7en. Is that better?

Look I know you don't like Welling as Superman, (And that's your opinion), But enough of this making fun of him in a thread that for fans who would like to see Welling in the super suit.

GROW UP JCDC, and stop acting like a two year old.

No, not really since it doesn't look like that either.

BTW: You can't hotlink to that site where you found that image, all I'm seeing is a little graphic saying go to their site for movie posters...

 

[TheStrider]

JcDc, can you say "troll" ?

 

[JcDc]

JcDc, can you say "troll" ?

It's not an official pic I was making fun of. It's just a manip The background has Welling look like he's being tortured.

 

[triplet]

That's an official promo image from the third season. It's from Exile, and yeah. CLARK was being tortured.... What a lovely dad Jor-El is.



I think people are just having issues with you making fun of anything right now, to be honest.

 

[TheStrider]

I don't have a problem with his comments actually, its the way you all respond, you all need to calm down, I like Tom Welling alot, but it does look like something from Saw or Se7en. Everyone just needs to take a chill pill is all.

 

[triplet]

I think where Jc is concerned, people don't have much of a sense of humor...

HOLY NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT

thats nice. I used to have one in a similar vein of Welling up on the scarecrow thing from Season 1 with Reeve superimposed over him and the text "You are what I once was. I am what you will one day become"

Hah!

It's gonna take more than that I think, but it's a nice start LOL.
