Who agrees that casting shouldn't affect someone's judgement on a manip?

[Nadino]

I'm just tired of the threads being flooded by pointless critiques....

Don't agree with me, just stop doing it

 

[Matt.S99]

I just hate that 'I can say whatever I want' argument.
Yes, its true, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but shouldn't it be relavent to the thread? I mean, if its a casting thread, by all means enlighten us with your comments and thoughts. But if its not, then have something more to say - maybe advice on the colors, the cuts, the textures, etc. SOMETHING!

calm down man,dont be one of those people who take things so seriously

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

Nadino's got a point though.

I don't want to pick a fight batboy, but all these posters that spend weeks doing these manips - if someone criticised their work just because they got the casting "wrong", I think they'd take it seriously, don't you?

I am very calm actually, I'm just sitting back - sipping some tea and talking to a great friend of mine. t:

nadino-whos your great friend?me??lol jk

 

[Nadino]

Batboy - No, sorry.
It's not only to you that I say this, but to everyone and anyone that judges casting over art.

 

[Matt.S99]

no no dont worry about it,i know what you mean its just,when i say something like for example
'insert name here is gambit not him!'
its usually ment as a joke,and i dont know how many times ive said this but just because it isnt my casting choice doesnt mean i dislike the manip,some manips that arent my castings are better than the ones that are

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Mmm.

I'll admit protests regarding casting don't help much.

BUT, well, if it's an ensemble cast and said voter hates 90% of said cast, I rather think he/she's allowed to not vote for it for that very reason and not feel bad about it. Like, not one microsecond.

*shrugs*

 

[TKing]

I understand, batboy. It's just sometimes you can be a little careless with your comments and might unintentionly hurt someone who doesn't realise you're joking.

 

[Matt.S99]

i understand,sorry

I'm not just talking about the voting, I'm talking about critiquing the art in general. If you're going to dislike a manip or photo solely on the actor - that's your loss. But some people take pride in their works and hope that people look at the rest of the image as a whole and not just the face.

I agree with judging art just off the casting is bad, and I know I said I do judge casting, but it's never a deciding factor for me.
I've said this in the X-manip thread but I'll post it here too.

I judge based on the difficulty, the originality of the manip, the designs, the choices made, the casting, and the overall outcome.
I know it's just a fun competition, but it's just the way I vote.

I do believe everyone should judge the manips the way they want, but judging just on one thing is a bit ignorant to me.

That's how a manip should be judged. Yes everyone does have their own way of doing things - that's not new. But like you said, judging by on thing is ignorant - and it's also not fair to the artist.

 

[TKing]

I just don't see what the big deal about casting is. If the manip is actually a good piece of work, should it really matter? Besides, how can one poster know everybody's preference for actor? It's impossible to know what everybody likes.

I agree.

I don't think of it as a big deal, but there are some actor's that will take away from the manips for me. Mostly the ones sugested for every role for everything on these boards.
I don't expect them to get the casting that everone wants right, but the majority of my judging on casting is based off of how they look as the character, and little on how they can act as the character.

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

But then how do you expect people that are new to these boards to know about who's been suggested for 'every role for everything on these boards'? *points to ignorant little self*

If you take a look through any casting threads it's kind of obvious.
I'm talking like Angelina Jolie, Rachel McAdams, Jude Law, Ryan Reynolds, etc.

Well I started posting like 2 weeks ago and the manip thread was pretty much the first thread I ever read entirely. Unless we're supposed to read all those casting threads before being allowed to post, I don't see how we're supposed to know. That being said, even if I had known, I don't think I would've changed my manip. I though Jolie's pose was very Psylocke-ish so I used her as a base for my manip and that's reason enough for me.
