Tom Welling as Superman

[JackMercy]

Hopefully one day you will get past the fact he WASN'T casted

Are people still this uneducated...?




...And I think you've already been rebuffed on your other generalizations...



(hey Pat, should we form a tag team...?)

 

[Kane]

Psst.... he already does.

Ooo Pat got it wrong...again. Classic stuff.

That's Metropolis Clark Kent (the disguise) [The Daily Star/Planet reporter]....Tom Welling doesnt play that 'Metropolis Clark Kent' at all.

That kinda nullifies everything.

Remember there are 3 sides to Kal-El (practically every comicbook writer/movie producer confirms this).

Chistopher Reeve was right on the money when he said Welling was simply playing a modern version of Jeff East's character from the first film.

LOL. People people people... stop acting like english teachers. IT was a deliberate error !

Geez...

Oh and AgentPat i dont hate SV. It's just got lower lately in quality. I just dont like TW's acting and the overacting of some other people. In case your interested, my favorites and the good actors IMO on that show are, Rosenbaum, clark's mother (cant remember her name), John Glover is most excellent, Jonathan Kent was a good fatherly figure and last but not least, the professor.

That said, my only REAL problem is the childishness of this war going on between SR and SV. SV i find are closed minded and stuck up to give a chance to the new movie, while the SR on other hand it ticks them off and they go on a SV blasting round.

You also said that SV is the only emotional live action interpretation that you have seen of Clark. You haven't seen SR so i would suggest you wait before addressing that. Unless you meant to this date. SR im very shure will have alot of character drama and emotions.

You guys should really rethink your ways. If your a Superman fan, then you would be open to any interpretation of the man of steel. I know i am. Not all have been good but its bettter than no DC or Superman material at all.

Thats my 2 cents!

PS: when i said he never will be casted i knew someone would jump the gun. I only spoke what truly happened. He also never showed interest in playing the movie, so that his fault. People should remember that.

Clark on the farm, more than anything else is closest to who he actually is, so Welling certainly IS playing Kal-El, and maybe the truest "personality" thereof...

...He isn't Metropolis Clark Kent (disguise) he isn't Superman (the pubilic hero persona)

I think you are exactly right.

Nicely put!

This works for moi. Nice breakdown.



Y'know, it never ceases to amaze me how SV fans can state till they're blue in the face how much they're beyond ecstatic that Welling wasn't cast in the film, but still be completely ignored. Make a statement like "he's Superman" however, and self professed fans of the character and the mythos are all over us like white on rice. LOL Eh, whatcha gonna do?

Hey Millennium, just so you know, I'm not a fanboy, and there's no such word as "casted." Oh yeah, and I'm glad Welling wasn't cast in SR. If he eventually goes on to portray the character in a feature film or DTV, I'd want it to be *after* SV concludes its run on the small screen, and I'd want it to be based on SV's modern continuity and character history, not one that's nearly 30 years old. I don't *want* to see him change his style or approach. He's made the character real and relatable through his own personal interpretation, and THAT's the one that actually MEANS something to me right now.

It's rather funny how audiences are apparently being expected to accept the other guy as the new Superman simply because he shares the same name and a "vague" history with one that we DO care about. Uh, no. Doesn't work that way. Sowee. As far as I'm concerned, new dude is just playing a character in an oddly familiar, but disturbingly wrong costume.

There's more depth to this Kal-El and this Clark than I've ever seen in any live action portrayal before. Your mileage of course, may vary...

Ahhh Pat..... your words never fail to amaze me and touch me. Nice job!

You too Watchman. I think you summed it up very precisely.

 

[Serene]

^*sniff*
It's posts like Pat's and Watchman's that keep me coming back here.

(and my buds.. speaking of which, when is BaK coming back? Wasn't he only on a probationary ban? I miss him.)

I noticed Bak was on yesterday and I was going to PM him and welcome him back (haa, haa) Bak, Back.... get it... anyway, it said he was still on probationary ban.

Have I told you how much I like you ?

 

[Whiteflag]

I like you too, AgentPat. Very much!

 

[JackMercy]

Ehh... may I ask how deliberately making the error makes you any more intelligent? Why are you here, again?

Your second sentence? ...hmmm... touche!

Your third sentence? Well, I could go there, but it's just not worth it...

I'll just say... you preach a lot for someone who claims to know what "truly happened"...but is really only repeating what lots of other people believe...

 

[millennium movies]

Mr. JackMercy...

Can't have a normal and civilised person join this forum and have a respectful normal conversation? You call yourself intelligent, you and some can't even deal with other people. Quite an example of a person. What a self centered forum this is! Based on selfish , ego filled , closed minded people. Seems like TW and SV has you brainwashed. That's the only thing that comes to my mind when i read some of these posts. Then you dare call me a "rehash"? Perhaps you should think deeper. When someone usually tells you more than once you do something bad, you should note. Unless you want to call them all a rehash...
Only person preaching here is you and your fanclub!

Your doing exactly the same thing btw

PS: Assuming is a horrible thing to do! Only fools assume! Never do that again, i except more from someone trying to pretend having a higher intelligence...

 

[The Kid]

What episode does tom sound most like superman in to you lot? I remember one ep when lana or someone was in the hospital and I swear he said "lois" with the perfectly pitched superman voice. Are there others where tom's not still trying to sound like a teen?

Honestly, best moment was that one episode at the end where he was telling Chloe to go see her mother. For the first time, he was speaking with authority and moral fortitude, rather than the usual doe-eyed innocence. It was a great transition from the boy to the man, and I hope they do it more often.

The bit where he was threatening Lionel was decent, but it came across a bit forced.

 

[TrailerMusic]

Him telling Lionel to stay the **** away from his Mother is one

 

[AgentPat]

Hugs to my buds.

(hey Pat, should we form a tag team...?)

Jeeze. After this morning's shenanigans, I'm spent. LOL

Hey, so where have ya been? The party's just getting started![/John McClane]

IT was a deliberate error

Whatever you say. May I suggest a winky if you wish to continue to make such deliberate "errors" in the future though? Do whatever you want of course, but as it stands now, it just looks foolish.

Oh and AgentPat i dont hate SV. It's just got lower lately in quality. I just dont like TW's acting and the overacting of some other people. In case your interested, my favorites and the good actors IMO on that show are, Rosenbaum, clark's mother (cant remember her name), John Glover is most excellent, Jonathan Kent was a good fatherly figure and last but not least, the professor.

Well, that's just ducky, though it has little to do with our exchange. It's one thing to post an opinion of what you *think* will happen, but making definitive statements like that one from last night WILL come back and bite you in the butt. Trust me; I've got the scars to prove it.

That said, my only REAL problem is the childishness of this war going on between SR and SV. SV i find are closed minded and stuck up to give a chance to the new movie, while the SR on other hand it ticks them off and they go on a SV blasting round.

This is WHY the mods have asked for a moratorium on discussion of "opposing" properties in opposite forums; it limits stupid arguments (this being one of 'em.)

You also said that SV is the only emotional live action interpretation that you have seen of Clark.

No, I didn't say that. Go back and read the post.

I said, "There's more depth to this Kal-El and this Clark than I've ever seen in any live action portrayal before."

You haven't seen SR so i would suggest you wait before addressing that. Unless you meant to this date.

I bolded the appropriate parts for clarification.

SR im very shure will have alot of character drama and emotions.

And your point is?

You guys should really rethink your ways.

You should rethink adhering to forum rules.

If your a Superman fan, then you would be open to any interpretation of the man of steel.

Who said we weren't? I've already said I'd see the film. So have many others. Thunder Emperor (sorry dude - you're the first person that came to mind) is going to see it on opening night, and he's been pretty outspoken about how he feels in regards to the film.

Not all have been good...

AH! Interesting. So they aren't all equal in your eyes, huh? Tell me, do you like certain ones because they're good, or are they good because you like them?

There may be an epiphany to this conversation after all.

I only spoke what truly happened. He also never showed interest in playing the movie, so that his fault. People should remember that.

See, THIS is the kind of stuff that drives me batty. You have no CLUE what "truly happened." Nobody does. It's all rumor an innuendo, and you will get diametrically opposed opinions about what people *think* happened, depending upon whom you ask.

As to Welling's interest in SR, the most you will get out of him is that it's a massive production, it looks wonderful, and it would have ended SV if he were cast.

That's IT. And THAT is what "people should remember."

...assuming is a horrible thing to do!

Oh, the irony. LMAO!!

Um, Millennium?

Eh. Forget it. It's more fun this way.

 

[millennium movies]

Wow you went through alot of trouble. For what? Show off? For foocks sake, mind your own business. Quoting parts that i was talking to Jack about... again, mind your own business! Some ego you got to pull this crap...

Comment i made last night? Can't sleep at night Pat? I simply spoke the truth, Welling will never be Superman. It's too late now. He's got SV and the films already has their guy. The only way is the end of the SV show but i doubt it, knowing the producer's way. Whats so shocking about it, open your eyes man! It's not my problem you cant deal with that factor.

PS: Your picture does not help your case. But hey, if it amusses you, have fun!

 

[AgentPat]

Your picture does not help your case.

More, MORE! Don't stop. LOL This gets better and better.

Glad you enjoyed my post.

 

[millennium movies]

^ That was a pointless post! You could of done without it. Who said i enjoyed your post? Learn to read , please! No wonder so many people consider this place such a sh1thole. Great job proving them wrong!

 

[jas01724]

There's always a Queen song to fit any situation. In this case I was almost tempted to say I'm Going Slightly Mad. But perhaps Innuendo is more apt ...

 

[millennium movies]

^ LOL! Thanks jas! (made me literaly LOL)

 

[triplet]

LOL!

Too funny...

I love ya, James!

*triplet affectionately ruffles James mop of hair*

 

[millennium movies]

Anyway, sorry for the rest of the folks to have kept this thread active. My appologies. Im calling it a night so i will talk to you folks soon!

 

[Kaboom]

isnt this thread supposed to be of manips of TW?

how come everytime a mod shuts a thread down about SR, the topic shows up in another thread. that makes me go slightly mad.

 

[millennium movies]

I dont know, i wasn't talking about SR.
