This literal interpretation thing is so insane to me.One minute people are freaking out about Pepper Pott's hair colour, and what race Electro is - but a small nerdy old man playing a gigantic wrestler type dude doesn't matter? I just don't understand the rules of it at all.Last edited by Brazoo; May 13, '13, 10:47 AM.Leave a comment:

Obviously they were going more for the American Splendor/Sideways slant in this casting. What may be unfortunate for them is they may have underestimated the number of Ba-ba-booies that make up their target audience. From the tone of this thread it looks like I may be right on that one.Leave a comment:

Shot of Paul Giamatti in ASM2... (minus the Rhino suit as of yet)...

>Most comic book fans have no idea who Kingsley is
Maybe; but what they're looking at here I suspect is how the Spiderman comic sells 75,000 issues a month whereas the film will probably be seen by tens of millions of people. Marketing has rendered the comic fan superfluous when it comes to comic characters.

According to Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Lee even pitched the concept of the Kung-Fu series, and some greedy TV execs stole it. That's the crime there.

BTW, I loved Carradine in Kung Fu...sorry Bruce, nothing personal, lol.Leave a comment:

Bruce Lee wanted that role, but was bypassed for Carradine, that was the sign of the times.
Anyway, good civil discussion, you made valid points in your favor.
Now, off to a Monster slice of pizza from Cybelle's, lol.Leave a comment:

How about David Carradine playing Kwai Chang Caine in Kung or Johnny Depp playing Tonto?
Please don't say Depp is part Native American therefore he's free to play Tonto, because if he's considered Native American, than I'm German, lol.
Again, I'm OK with Carradine playing a Chinese, and while at first I objected to Depp playing Tonto (it's more like being sick and tired of Depp playing everybody, period), I'm OK with it now.
So you are either for or against this, it's gotta be 100% consistency here.Leave a comment:

My point from the very beginning is that minor comic book characters such as the Rhino (and I do consider him minor), it shouldn't matter nearly as much, that's all I'm saying.Leave a comment:
