One of the reason Glau worked, was because she had this girl next door and innocent look give to her. No way in hell would you expect her to be a robot from the future ready to kill you.

This new female has none of the charms from what I can see from the posters that are out there. And those in charge are coming at this with the feminist output from the get go. There not even trying to hide it.

What "feminist" agenda do they have? I haven't read up much on the movie, so I'm curious.

Whether or not someone has a the proper "look" for a movie role is absolutely a valid point of criticism. It's why I hated Garfield as Spiderman, the guy just didn't look like someone who was so geeky that he couldn't get laid in highschool.
Garfield has a weird look. His virgin appeal is helped by how skinny he is too, as well as the hair. If he filled out in anyway it would have never worked though.

You masturbated to him, admit it.

I'm a Tobey guy mysrlf

It's not really "weird" though, simply unique. There are a lot of females who think the guy's attractive based soley upon his physical appearance. I personally heard multiple female friends of mine say as much when they were showing trailers for the movie way back when. Hollywood has a bad habit of thinking that slapping ugly glasses on attractive people makes any kind of difference and they're wrong about it 100% of the time. Horrible Peter Parker IMO.

I think he looks like your typical nerd to me. It's not like they put glasses on a Jason Momoa... no wait a Tom Welling, or a James Marsden and had him play a nerd...

Cue seething Paul

Yeah but guys judge things differently than girls. I can buy guys thinking he's a dork, but there's no way he'd go through 4 years of highschool without sex.

Plus, his hobby was skateboarding in the movie... not a very geek thing to do...

But these whores are judging him based off of being a famous movie nerd. If they passed him everyday in the halls when he was just quiet and they thought he was a weirdo it'd be a different story. It's not like he'd be going out drinking and slaying passed out girls. He just went to school and looked like a nerd.

The bigger issue is that iirc he had no friends. He didn't look like a stinky kid or anything. He was outgoing, and he got picked on so people knew of him existing. Plus he worked his way into Gwen's pants too so it's pretty weird that he was just a loner. Someone like that could have worked his way into Pimpled Pam's panties imo.
It's not like he was muttering to himself in the corner and randomly getting louder on odd words spazzing out like a school shooter "GurbleturbletopBLOODgubblebubblegertDEATHpibbledipplemumbleCARVER"

I can buy his looks. The way he acted though is another story. Also yeah, the skateboarding and being so bold about it too. Wasn't he a "bad boy" getting into trouble for it?

Considering we're supposed to believe that under the skin of this skinny man is an entire full metal endoskeleton of destruction and extincton hidden, yeah looks are at least to a certain point important.

Also lol at those scars, Terminators are supposed to perfectly blend in to infiltrate, looking like Frankenstein's monster will certainly help. Unless she's an older model (which is unlikely) there's no excuse here for the "cool" design.

The T-800 looks spot on if the news is still the latest.

That’s just from my personal outlook and the way Hollywood and the media in general acts.

Best case scenario was the bitching concerning the Amazons from JL Vs WW’s.

I think she was chosen for the sole reason she’s female. And with the whole 100+ genders running around, she’s made specifically unattractive.

I could be wrong, but for the past few years, that’s being the agenda.

That’s a bad double standard sin.

Imagine when Cavill was chosen to play Superman, he was a fat, bald middle age man with mid life crisis? A lot of people will be bitching, especially the women. Because I know for a fact, these chicks were screaming loud as **** whenever Cavill was shirtless in MOS.

Superman is an icon. He is typecast. No one gives af about anything other than appearance in regards to him. My gripe is y people are complaining about a virtual unknown based solely off her looks. T-X was a bombshell in the traditional sense and she was still a terrible cast. I could give af less about what an actor looks like i care more about a compelling movie

So Leo could just waltz into a pic with assless chaps, a gut, and a blue mohawk and no one should be allowed to speak about the way he looks?

"I'm not sure this fits into a movie set in the 30's..."
"You dare doubt Leo's acting ability? Idiot"

No one is doubting her acting ability. They're doubting why she has to look like Bieber to do it. She doesn't look like a bad arse robot. She looks like SHE just came out of a boyband. Should have just went bald and put her on anavar if they were going for that.

Again you sound like an idiot. Basing your distaste off her physical appearance when it has zero to do with anything(it's a teaser poster). So what if she has masculine features? So does Ripley, so does Sarah...and they are cinematic legends in their genre. Then you go and over emphasis with caps the word SHE belies your ignorance even more. Dont sugar coat your hate. If gonna discriminate atleast own it. Stop being a pussie

Yes, how dare I judge her looks based off the only promo material we have. Do you listen to yourself bud? You're basically clamoring for everyone to hold any opinion of it until we see the actual movie... but you'd never say that because you realize how ridiculous that thought process is.
What am I supposed to say; she looks like she can act like a Terminator really well? Yes, let's only say anything positive about it. Even Mungi was questioning the design choices here while praising the actress for her looks in every other piece of work. This is a questionable choice. But don't voice your opinion of it. Just swallow it because the gal can act.

And there's a difference between masculine features and looking like Justin Bieber. Nobody ever looked at a boy band and thought they looked like toughies. It's not about looking like a man, it's about looking like a boy. Like I said, a good head shave would solve a lot of issues. She doesn't look like a badass, she looks like a boy.

Ripley and Sarah became badasses hardened by the film's plot. They changed their clothes to reflect that as well. They were also considered extremely good looking and at their peak while playing these roles. They didn't start out looking like they ended up as. As compared to the invincible robot who starts out looking like what they considered badass and BASED ON THE MATERIAL WE HAVE is in her worst look to date.
And they were masculine badasses without looking like a boy. Very important distinction.

I've been calling hookers whores for days though. I'm not sugar coating anything. You're seeing what you want to see pal.

SHE looks like a boy. Had SHE looked more like a man, a badass, or someone who could turn your ass inside out like a rose, it would look better. Right now SHE looks like SHE wants to call up some little girls on stage to dance with them and get security to drag them off when they get too clingy.

It's a questionable design choice for HER

Its just lol REALLY hard to try and deny some sort of agenda when we just so happen to get THIS look for a terminator in this social political climate. They put out these photos and when people say they don't like it they polish up the pitchforks to attack the fans for being any/everythingphobic.

Sin, 40-50% of what makes Terminator movies what they are is proper casting. The person can't just be a good actor/actress, they have to look the part as well. That's the reason behind why Arnold and Robert Patrick got the parts, because they actually looked intimidating. Arnold looked like the sort of person that could legitimately rip a human's head off and Rob looked like a sort of polite serial killer. Those two in comparison to this one are completely different because she doesn't look intimidating, has a bunch of scars for no reason, and genuinely looks like a woman doing her best impersonation of a 'tough guy'.

Remember when everyone saw the previews for Suicide Squad and the vast majority of people thought it looked awful? This is exactly that. I don't think anyone here is judging her acting based off of her looks, we're judging her looks based off of the lore in conjunction with the previous movies. We're not asking for some sleek, sexy, seductress that slithers around silently slashing, stabbing, and slitting throats (how do you like my wordplay). All we're asking for is two things:

1. Someone that can properly act

2. Someone that can look cool while doing it.

I suppose. I still stand by my previous statement tho. I will however consider your comments tho 😘

Ok, I've given Bendis the chance.

He is terrible.

Superman #2: Awkward monologue, awkward dialogue and literally nothing happens.

Considering the title is no longer twice a month, I don't have the patience for this shit.

He'll be writing every DC event soon enough.
