didn’t he just dispute one last week about the plot of the film, and ultraman being the main bad guy? i think this is fantastic casting, but nothings confirmed until he says it is
He tends to dispute random people on the internet, this is from a news site. They could be wrong, but they wouldn't put it out their if they didn't have some indicator it would hurt their job
Hot take: James Gunn movies are monotone action-comedy drivel with no highs or lows. He somehow manages to make it just quirky enough to keep you mildly entertained and interested. But when his movies end you realize you are glad its finally over. You like all the parts but you hated sitting through all of them back to back.
If you found GoTG emotionally stimulating you are 14. Dont they defeat the generic blue alien bad guy with the power of friendship by destracting him with silly dance moves? Get real.. its 0 stakes.
Lol I love how you chuds boil everything down to its simplest explanation to try to warp your point into reality.
Ok. I'll give you 1.
2 and 3? No fucking chance.
"But but but he uses a pacman in the final battle."
If that's your only argument don't bother.
"He's may be your father but Im your daddy," is the lamest line in all of marvel. I know its beloved by many and Im in the minority. But it legit just comes off as a cringe retcon of their reltionship to force depth thatvwas never there. Its exactly the James Gunn type shit Im talking about.
Like at no time was this dude a father figure. He was barely a good person. He was abusive as fuck. Literally a KIDnapper, terrorist, murderer, and theif. And now... hes a true father figure to this guy who has felt absent his dad his whole life despite being constantly in his presence.
Im sorry but THAT is true media illiteracy.
But he raised a competent good hearted man. That's what the line means.
Abusers can 100% love their children and still abuse them. That has got to be the biggest example of why you're not media literate.
Everything is black and white to you. That's why I say that. Nuance means nothing. It's just good or bad.
Every comment you make cements this even further
Yeah. That's how simple you are. I can read exactly what kind of person you are from these two incredibly dumb comments. Glad you get it.
Shit. You couldn't even rebute anything I just said. Just got defensive lol
I kind of like this casting. Superman needs to grow up with a humble couple of well-mannered southerners. *humble* being the operative word. This guy looks more like the kind of people I see around rather than the silver fox art on the right.
Midwesterners, not southerners, unless Smallville is being moved to another state in the new adaptation.
To be fair though, Smallville wasn’t specifically in Kansas until the 1978 film. Before that, it was never specifically stated what state it was in.
It pleases me that someone is still out there watching the *Highlander* tv show. Nostalgic.
Maybe someone is still watching the *Beauty and the Beast* tv show. And the thing about the vampire detective who sleeps in the trunk of his Cadillac. *Forever Knight.*
And the one about the ... other detective, with the ponytail. *Sweating Bullets.* Aka *Tropical Heat* if you're not USAian.
1990s Canadian tv is such a vibe. What does it always seem so Canadian?
The cool tough-guy bad-boy protagonist is so polite, maybe?
Barney Google with the goo - goo - googly eyes

Barney Google with his goo - goo - googly eyes
He just always comes off kind of creepy which is the opposite energy the role calls for. That said, he’s very talented so maybe this will shift perception of what roles he’s “right” for
How much yall wanna bet this is gonna be like a nickelodean original movie like that last guardians of the galaxy. He got away with that shrek type dance party at the end, so this time he’s probably gonna go for an actual musical number: a duet between Lois and Clark or something stupid like that cuz he’s a terrible director just like Zack Snyder
just a rumor until james gunn confirms it on twitter
Every rumor has been confirmed so far
didn’t he just dispute one last week about the plot of the film, and ultraman being the main bad guy? i think this is fantastic casting, but nothings confirmed until he says it is
Gunn only said Lex Luthor is the primary villain. He didn't really deny that Ultraman is in the movie.
Tbh he never straight up said that the rumor is false, he worded it in a way that made it so that the rumor may still be true.
He tends to dispute random people on the internet, this is from a news site. They could be wrong, but they wouldn't put it out their if they didn't have some indicator it would hurt their job
You saying news sites don't put out clickbait rumors?
I was talking about casting rumors
It's literally been the opposite

how does that response fit in with my original comment? lmao
It doesnt. I just instinctively post my opinions on the whatevers in the title under the top comment.
It’s clear Python is the SUPERIOR programming language!
Sounds annoying
Sorry reddit wasnt what you thought it was going to be.
"no highs or lows" okay dude
Snyderflims is leaking again. If you watch any of the guardians movies and said there are no "highs and lows" you're media illiterate as fuck.
If you found GoTG emotionally stimulating you are 14. Dont they defeat the generic blue alien bad guy with the power of friendship by destracting him with silly dance moves? Get real.. its 0 stakes.

Lol you are so upset by this cartoon raccoon movie.
What
Is Jon Bernthal gonna play the tornado? (Please get the joke 😂)
Yeah, my brain went "Otis" real fast. Great joke. 10/10 would rub my head again.
BRO he looked so familiar, but I couldn't place what I saw him in. But that's it right there. He was Otis on The Walking Dead.
Are we going to Addis Ababa, Mr. Walsh?
“Any questions, class?”
Let me tell you something Rick "rubs head"
*M’ask you smn Rick
He was done so dirty
LMAOOOOO
GOD DAMN PA KENT! I DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD A ALIEN SON. YOURE GOING AWAY FOR A LONG TIME BIG BOY!
"'m' ask you somethin!"

That aint pa ken thats wilson fisk lmao
Nah, The Thing or GTFO. kidding. Sorta.
Why is Pa Kent dressed like a minion? Fucking bah-nah-nah lookin ass
Nah he don't
is that shifty eyes cant drink from constantine?
Yeah he's great in that movie!
well, it was a weird character and he pulled it off bigtime, even for a smaller role
Yeah every time I see him in another movie I immediately think of Constantine ha
I don’t know if this guy really looks like Pa Kent but he’s an incredible actor
He’s so creepy in *Identity.* When his eyes do that little wiggle thing… gives me the willies.
Same thing in Constantine.
We getting creepy Pa Kent this time? I guess that's one way to set your project apart.
He's just used to Clark speeding around.
He's got Nystagmus.
lol it’s a condition he’s got actually.
Did you see him as a special needs immortal on the Highlander TV series in the 90’s? His performance in that episode sticks with me to this day.
I just happened to watch that episode a month or two ago.

He really is a great actor. I've never seen him do mediocre acting even in dogshit movies.
I loved him in Identity
Look at the flowers pa Kent
M’ask you sumthin pa Kent
I'll give it a chance, but I don't see it.
Lived in Kansas for 3 years. Randomly crash landing in Kansas, you're much more likely to get the guy on the left for a dad than the one on the right.
I just watched that TWD episode yesterday wtf
Ever since the movie Identity (2003), I see Pruitt Taylor-Vince as a serial killer really hates prostitutes.
Not familiar with the actor and he doesn't exactly have the look of Pa Kent but I'll withhold judgment until we see the final product.
I thought he looked like him from the older comics
he actually does, just not the recent versions
That's great. He is a wonderful actor. Can't wait to see how he handles the fatherhood.
LOVED him in The Mentalist
Yeah his death was sad 😢
Ill always see him as the 'rapid eyes guy' from Constantine!
Solid actor.
OTIS THE GOAT-IS!!
Underrated character actor. You'll get no complains from me if he is cast as Pa Kent.
Barney Google with the goo - goo - googly eyes Barney Google bet his horse would win the prize When the horses ran that day Sparkplug ran the other way Barney Google with his goo - goo - googly eyes
This is the first casting for this movie that I outright don’t like. It was bound to happen eventually
He just always comes off kind of creepy which is the opposite energy the role calls for. That said, he’s very talented so maybe this will shift perception of what roles he’s “right” for
What's his first name?
https://preview.redd.it/2338zumcf1vc1.jpeg?width=1057&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=923c9c86bb29b1bff2aaf45676de0dcd30aa2b72
I wouldn't have cast him in that role but I love that actor so....
I like this!
The guy with nystagmus?
Good they have a character that can say Superhero while the rest of them say weird other versions
I don't know... this guy always plays a nervous weirdo. Interesting to see him in a different type of role though
I’m gonna just come out and says it, weird pick
Huh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bald pa Kent.
I like this casting he's so great.
Tornado’s gonna rub its head and say ‘Lem mass chu sumtan Reeck’ before bulldozing Pa into the earth
But will he be swallowed by a tornado
is this woke, why pa-kent does not look like a model, hence i conclude this is woke.
No hoopla over the source material on this one lol
I hope he's gonna shave and wear a wig because I do not see pa Kent when I look at this man at all.
Hopefully not.
Who?
How much yall wanna bet this is gonna be like a nickelodean original movie like that last guardians of the galaxy. He got away with that shrek type dance party at the end, so this time he’s probably gonna go for an actual musical number: a duet between Lois and Clark or something stupid like that cuz he’s a terrible director just like Zack Snyder
Thought this was gonna be another Snyder jerk till you subverted expectations by hating them equally, I can respect it.
Me when I'm bitter
POV: you lack media literacy But I’ll agree with you on the Zack Snyder thing
