Tom Welling as Superman Manips

[FEAR THE KNIGHT]

This picture is just amazing! I love it..
Welling, and Durance look perfect together...

 

[JcDc]

The casting is unoriginal when he is an unknown? HA HA HA HA HA sit down shorty

Strictly in the face I don't think George Reeves looks like Superman either. As much as I liked Dean Cain from Lois and Clark, he doesn't have the face of Superman from the comics either. Everyone knows I'm a supporter of him but I'll be the first to admit he doesn't have that comic book resemblance face wise. Tom has a good look for an actor, but just not the right look for an actor to play Superman. His nose is too wide and he doesn't have a strong chin either. That's why Chris worked, he had a more narrow nose, a strong chin, and I think Brandon has those features as well (though I honestly wasn't thinking of him in terms of this discussion).

If you look at all comic book adaptions of Superman/ cartoon (TAS), those are the features in the face we think of when looking at Superman.

Hey Tom is probably better looking than both Chris and Brandon, but that doesn't mean his look works as well for Superman.

No matter what representation these features are that of Superman's face.

Hello my name is "Fear The Knight"

I want to make an informed post and offer the following

Thankyou my points are proven with that smiley. The discussion can end

Like it or not

Reeve had those features

and so does Brandon

Welling does not with wider nose, nostrils, and weaker chin

Those features don't make Tom ugly, infact as one article said it's the weaker chin that gives him the somewhat feminine quality that attracts women to him. His looks are good for an actor, very GQ, but not for Superman.

 

[AgentPat]

Y'know, not fer nuthin' folks...

But this is a MANIP thread!

For TOM FREAKIN' WELLING!!

In the BLOODY SMALLVILLE FORUM!!!

What the

IS it about the thread header that people don't understand?

Hey I didn't bring this talk in here, but since the subject formed I am giving my opinion.

No, he's Superman, just a more modern and younger one.

Dude do you understand that your making my point for me by showing us pictures of Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, and Chris Reeve?
Tom doesn't look like he's made to be a Reeve Clone so he is allowed to bring his own take on the character, and so far he has won
a lot of fans over because of this.. He is the most popular choice for the role by the majority of the fans..

It is very un-original to take a guy who looks like a water down version of Tom Welling mixed with George Reeves, and make him up to look like
Chris Reeve in the Clark outfit but only from certain angles...
He actually only resembles Reeve in a few photos, and doesn't look anything like him otherwise.
Especially in real life.

Also remember that Reeve was a Julliard trained actor who knew how to act... Brandon Routh is an actor who was FIRED from a soap for bad acting..
MAJOR difference there.
Also I have a major issue with the new Superman coming straight from MTV!
I'm sorry but I have a major problem with casting someone who's 15minutes of fame consist of MTV UNDRESSED & a CHRISTINA GAGuilera video.
Maybe it's just me but I wanted a REAL actor in the role, and not some MTV pretty boy.
The whole cast looks like something out of a bad nightmare!
I mean Kate Bosworth as Lois huh? Has anyone ever seen Blue Crush? Probably the worst movie ever made!! She was in that.. We all can see how bad of an
actress she is in her other roles.
Hamm he's a bad actor.... She's a bad actress... No wonder they had such good chemistry! lol
If you want MTV actors in your Superman movie then you need your head checked...
Brandon & Singer are messing this whole movie up.

It's also unoriginal to go the sequel route, and not re-start this thing from scratch...
With this being a sequel we are tied down by the first two movie's, and what the characters were like then..
Which means "funny comic Lex" "goofy Clark", and stupid ideas like "Superman changing history by flying counter clock wise over the earth"...
I've never ever liked that idea.. The original movie's shined because of Chris, and nothing else, the story was to campy for my taste,
and the new one will be just as campy. Also Spacey is a Gene Hackman wannabe in my honest opinion...

I work in a company which does Anime, and Comic cons, and we have over 1,000 employees, and not one single person has said
"hey Brandon looks great in that great looking suit!" everyone says the same thing... "he doesn't look like superman.. more like super boy if that, and the
suit sucks!" So I'm going by what I think of the casting, and the suit, and by the word of mouth of all the employees which we work with.
I'm not giving my company's name out because we don't need the hate mail but let's say that the new suit & Brandon Routh has become a laughing stock at our
company.

To end this i'll quote AgentPat... "Y'know, not fer nuthin' folks..."
"But this is a MANIP thread!"
"For TOM FREAKIN' WELLING!!"
"In the BLOODY SMALLVILLE FORUM!!!"

Get it? It's a TOM WELLING forum, and if you hate Tom Welling so darn much then stay out of here... Thank you very much...
Your not going to win this argument.

anyway peace dude.. Take care.

You know, all this strife over something that no one's mind is going to get changed about is just dumb.

Sometimes, Jc, you gotta know when it's time to pick up the marbles and go play elsewhere.

WOW FEAR THE KNIGHT
you sure handly yourself very well congrats , And finally somebody has shut the mouth of JcDc about Tom welling as Sups. Thank you.

 

[Serene]

You know, all this strife over something that no one's mind is going to get changed about is just dumb.

Agreed. Can we get back to Tom manips?

Sometimes, Jc, you gotta know when it's time to pick up the marbles and go play elsewhere.

The only bad thing about having people on Ignore is that when other's quote him, I'm still subjected to the blather. Ah well.. it's still better than the alternative.

Too bad your comments aren't original You just reused every comment made by Serene or triplet in the last month Other than that, the pics show how Routh and Reeve both have the more narrow nose and strong jaw like that of Superman from the comics. It doesn't make Routh a Reeve clone by looking like the comics, it just means he looks like Superman and Welling doesn't. Which is why ROUTH IS Superman in the new movie and was chosen by Singer over Welling.

I got your back, babe.

Hey you are supposed to have my back too!

 

[triplet]

You never replied to my PM. I was wondering why that was and curious what that meant...

You seemed sincere, so I just wanted to be honest.

Ah, haven't checked pm. Shall do it now

Check your pm when you get a chance

 

[Thunder Emperor]

Check your pm when you get a chance

always casuing trouble whereever you go.

 

[Thunder Emperor]

Who brought up Routh in this conversation? See, this proves to me that no matter what, no matter how good SR might be, you'll NEVER give the people behind the movie any credit. You'll continue to bash the movie at every opportunity, you're no different than what you think JcDc is to the Smallville fans. (Except he actually likes elements of the show and admits it)

There is a problem with you statement. there is no concrete fact that SR will be that good. and i didn't start any thing ask JcDc doing his usal job here on the smallville forums. if i see something in SR that i like i will mention. liek the FX consider the flight scene will be on point. I just don't like the story of him goign to krypton, i don't feel it si apporiate when a whole new generation of kids have no idea about the true origins of the character. i see no brillanc ein script writing when losi is in a love qudrangle with richard, clark and superman. I don't see the point of an Mtv style suit with a turtle nike ubderamour and plastic \s/ and maroon leather cape, **** doesn't look homemade. also i don't like the idea of superman in the hospital for an extra corny scne with people yell and holding flyers save our superman. singer i though was capbale of better but he isn't showing that at the moment. YOu can argue that the movei is not out yet, but you and I knwo this movie is seriously lacking in hype and fanbase recongnition.

[Bad Superman]

It's the same situation all over again. This kind of attitude is what has brought wars to the Superman forums. There are Superman supporters and Singer supporters. The Singer supporters have this habit of trying to "gloat" or "rub off" how "good" Singer is doing in all aspects. When they get bored they go to other threads or forums of people that DON'T like either the film as a whole or some aspects and they try to antagonize others by their "blah blah blah, Singer is the best, he is god, etc." crap. It's amazing what blind fanatism can do. This could be two things: either they are really, really bored or they're still trying to convince themselves how "perfect" SR is.

This thread is for Tom Welling manips as Superman. Let's leave it that way.

I would change the \S/ on this one.
