Man from U.N.K.L.E. is IMHO a very good movie. It also showcases how Henry could have been a humorous 007 akin to Roger Moore’s rendition.
Comment on Henry Cavill Is Playing Wolverine In Deadpool 3 | Giant Freaking Robot
RobMyBot@lemmy.ml 3 months agoI absolutely love Cavill. He’s been in plenty of sub-par projects, but he himself never fails to commit to each role and he always kills it.

He’s one of those actors that could take a low tier super hero and turn it into a household name, if he’s put into the wider MCU I hope it’s playing a lesser known hero that deserves the recognition

100% agree, what he did with this one DC hero named Superman was pretty fantastic!

Tbf superman had become low tier after Brandon Routh and how bad dc was dropping the ball on the Superman comics at the time

Yeeep. The way they ruined both the witcher and superman while this man does everything right is astounding.

Unfortunately he is just way too devoted to the source material, which they couldn’t really use for their show. So Cavill really has been shooting his own foot. He wasn’t willing to compromise, even though he knew the show wasn’t supposed to be 1 to 1 telling.
So how do you deal with someone who signed on for X and than tried turning into their own thing?

Other way around.
He signed on to make the Witcher series, true to the books.
They moved it away from that, and audiences turned away from it.
Cavill was right.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Where did you hear that? Thats not even remotely what happened.
Yeah, no the show had no intentions of telling the same story from the start.

He signed on for a Witcher adaptation. The TV show is original series inspired by the Witcher, not an adaptation.
Anybody sane didn’t expect a 1 to 1 retelling - that would frankly be a bad adaptation. And I did like some of the new stuff. But they took the spirit of the books and completely threw it out of the window.

Nobody has said anything about a 1:1 adaptation, and these things can have a sliding scale. It is possible to keep certain elements while rearranging and editing a story for different mediums. You do understand it is people who write these things, yeah? Theyre not like, handed down from on high and then filmed. Also: The Last of Us.

Hard disagree. In my opinion as a fan of the games and books, the changes from the source material all negatively impacted the show, to the point that the star was no longer interested in participating.

RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Im gonna need a detailed indepth explanation of why source material was impossible to use for an adaptation of said source material.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 3 months ago
The same way the games didn’t, they were using the universe to tell an alternate story.
This isn’t a hard concept to grasp or anything.
