No kidding! So why did you start trolling here with the "big movie" nonsense? Nobody in this forum was suggesting that afaik. I think you just came here to argue, and I am so freakin' tired of arguing entertainment preferences.
I certainly wasn't the one that brought up "no availability means he's going to be in a big movie" nonsense - I was simply stating how incredibly flawed that very logic is.
Actually, neither did I, but you however have gone on for multiple posts about him.
And I do so in RESPONSE to others. If someone says "Brandon Routh sucks" in a thread dedicated to fine cheese, I am likely to respond with "I disagree and Routh entirely" along with "I love a fine slice of guda"
For the record, my comment was in response to your "big movie star" opinion. You posted a clip from an episode of SV as proof that Welling isn't a big movie star. So does that mean the actor cast as Superman would have to be for you, because I'm quite sure many were not. I'm also quite sure some if not all turned in a few performances during their careers that weren't earth shattering. Heck, one was even fired from a role before being cast as the Man of Steel.
I posted that clip not to show that he is not a big movie star, but to show he is not a good actor and doesn't have the talent to star in a big league Superman.
What makes a big movie star? (Rhetorical question.) I dunno, but I do know it aint always acting prowess. And it most certainly is not simply being cast in a "big movie."
The acting prowess tends to help, but it actually can be pretty much simplified to being cast in "big movies". The more success an actor has with big films, the more the audience knows them (and hopefully likes them) and thus the more the studio wants them.
This is where your facade of impartiality completely disintegrates. SR was directed by Brian ef'n Singer. Did it not occur to you that the scene you chose as "proof" of Welling's inappropriateness for a major motion picture had just a tad to do with the inept direction? Because I'm quite sure the producers wanted to homage Superman: The Movie and failed. That said, the scene in question wasn't that bad. Certainly not as bad as you suggest. This of course is my opinion.
Welling has worked with a long list of directors on Smallville and he continues to have very real, very large limits on his abilities. Again, the Bride episode is a perfect example - he was perfect during the action scene, but his dance with Lois was so utterly underwhelming...
Could have fooled me? You did go on for multiple posts.
Because others bring it up. Again - I am not starting any Routh comparison talk. You brought Routh up as a way to justify Tom Welling or something, its completely silly and irrelevant.
S:TM is (for me) a cult classic. It's one of those films that we (I) saw as a kid and it hit home. With no disrespect for Reeve however, I've moved on.
Ignoring Superman:The Movie would be great for any WB project from here on out.
Keep up the trolling. It suits you well.
I don't troll - I simply disagree with you and a few of the other "elite" posters here (that tends to not go over well).
Peachy. There are however more appropriate threads to discuss your Superman casting desires.
I brought up HC not to advocate him, but to merely state I was not a huge Routh guy and thus bringing him to defend Tom isn't effective.
Jeeze. See-saw much? Can't you pick a side and stick with it?
You apparently don't know about the cameo in the Green Lantern movie. The cameo doesn't require an actor, Clark Kent in the script says no lines and simply is seen for a few seconds as the Green Lantern ring flies by. Thus you could get an underwear model in Clark gear and have it work fine - thus Tom Welling (who I have never doubted his PHYSICAL qualifications) would work fine. He doesn't have to act.
I don't give a flying crap about SR. Take your own advice about off-topic conversation in this thread.
Again, but YOU brought up Routh
Y'know, I'm pretty sure the writers and producers of SV take the show very seriously and try to do the character justice. I also believe Welling approaches the role with respect and a desire to please his audience, and he'd take that philosophy to a major motion picture, should he be cast in one. If the results of his labors doesn't please you, so be it. Stop watching him and the projects he leads. You're not being forced to watch SV or the next Superman film for that matter, regardless of who is cast.
Yes, the writers and producers take SV VERY seriously...like having fake babies, exploding babies and Lana turning into a witch.
Having a desire to please your audience and having the ability to please your audience is very different. I doubt Hayden Christenson wanted to piss off Star Wars fans, that doesn't mean he didn't.
I know I am not forced to watch SV or the next Superman film, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't debate and discuss casting rumors or complain about stupidity within those projects. As a fan who has spend time and money on the series, I have that right.
Again, stop telling people what they can and can't post here. That is up to the mods to decide.
I was doing a public service, but also a service for the poster himself.
we are too mature and level headed for that
They've been compared constantly on several sites and forums ever since Routh was cast, where have you been? lol
Tom Welling has been compared to Brandon Routh about their fitfulness for the role, but I haven't seen anyone saying that Routh's Superman seemed like Tom Welling's Clark Kent or vice versa which was the point I was making.
LOL
shock 
Why can't the old posters come back in here and have fun like we use to without the trolls chasing us off? Come back! Let's make this forum how it was in season 2-4 of Smallville! Let's party like its 2004 all over again!
I don't get your logic. Actually, your post makes no sense to me. Also, ALL OF US who bother to post on internet message boards about Superman related stuff are fanatical/fans of his, IMO. The vast mayority of people DON'T DO IT, but US fans do cuz we really care. 
Anyway, with this being the last season, it could be like a reunion of some kind.
