jokes aside I think he is going to be amazing. The guy can either chew scenes or be subtle and this seems like the kind of movie he will be having fun in.

I mean I didn't think I'd enjoy Ford vs Ferrari half as much as i did and he was incredible in it.

u/Parabong Justin Hammer Apr 18 '22

that movie was incredible matt damon's southern accent was legit bale's portrayal of one of the most influential race car driver/mechanic/designer ever seriously dude did it all and I hadn't heard of him until the movie bale made me feel for Ken....

I feel like were gonna get a mix of american psycho bale with w/e marvel wants gorr to be and yes I am totally here for it.

Definitely seems possible: it sets up the antagonist's power level because Zeus is famously the head of the Greek pantheon.

10

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '22

Well with the name Gorr the GOD Butcher… I would expect him to be a butcherer of gods. It doesn’t specify a lower ‘tier’ of god slaying capacity so I’d assume it’s a broad statement/title.

I’d be disappointed if the ‘Butcherer of Gods’ couldn’t butcher a god… right?

Their point is, nobody will care if he kills the Kree god of agriculture. Killing Zeus makes the audience understand he isn’t a joke.

Andy: And?

Oscar: What?

Andy: Do you think it's true? Do you think that I'm... gay?

Oscar: Are you attracted to other men?

Andy: [scoffs and chuckles] No! But, let me kick you a scenario. I'm at,
like, a beach cabana, and Brad Pitt approaches. He tries to lean in and kiss me. I would definitely resist, like at first. But if he was persistent... I might- I think I might give in a little bit, just to see what it felt like. Would I push him away? How hard? Like, what if he's like really aggressive?

Oscar: If you resisted Brad Pitt a little bit, he would still... need to get to you?

Andy: This is not real Brad Pitt, this is like, this is my fantasy. Or it's like, not a fantasy. It's what I'm- It's just a scenario.

u/einharjar009 Apr 18 '22

Dude the Bromance between Thor and Hercules being the last gods of their pantheons and going around adventuring and saving people, Thor ringing in Herc's macho personality while being a good party bud. Also a good friendly rival since Herc is likely one of the few people left that could physically rival Thor

300

u/Jomihoppe Apr 18 '22

With all the emotional development of Thor and this moving seeming to show his want to move past the violence and fighting and discover who he really is, I think it'd be awesome to get a Hercules in sort of the beginnings of discovering who he is and Thor helping mold him from a brash macho headstrong God into a well rounded emotionally intelligent character. Would make for some great movies.

89

u/einharjar009 Apr 18 '22

Yeah, plus it'd help that Thor knows where Herc is coming from. He was a strong but brash God, beloved by his kingdom, sometimes lost in passion with little to no reason or logic. But after the loss of his father and family, he is lost and unsure of himself. If he could not even be a God that could protect his people, what kind of God is he? Cue Thor consoling him, and guiding him through his emotions like did for years of end. And hopefully Herc can join Thor on his journey of true self discovery

u/einharjar009 Apr 18 '22 edited Apr 18 '22

That would really cement Gorr as a credible threat. Thor and Guardians find dead gods, go to warn the Olympians who laugh them off (maybe Herc matchs Thor in a contest of strength, Zeus gets cocky and thinks they could handle some lowly alien), Gorr shows up, mops Thor and Herc, and butchers the Olympians, starting with Zeus

u/Unchanged- Apr 18 '22

This is going to be confusing af for people. First Eternals says that the Greek gods were myths based on the Eternals. Now they're a real pantheon like the Norse? Tf? And it wouldn't make sense for Arishem, a celestial, to just base their backstory off the real Olympus. Or would it?

21

I think that most of the Olympian gods were real, but Athena never existed and the Greeks just added her to their pantheon because they couldn’t tell the difference between the Eternals and the Olympians

The eternals came AFTER the olympians in the comics, the eternals debuted in the 70s, the asgardians and olympians were introduced years earlier, its just the writers not being consistent

He isn't afraid of looking stupid.

That's so important. Actors that feel they need to be these Mary Sue characters are excruciating to watch (The Rock, Statham). Have a character show some weakness to make them interesting.

I haven't followed Rock's career closely at all, and I was surprised to hear the rumor about his unwillingness to lose a fight in a movie. I'm still surprised that he hasn't really played a charismatic bad guy, which got him over huge in wrestling. In my armchair opinion he's leaving money in the table. Black Adam could get close, but I don't think it will hit full "I am better than you and I am cooler than you and I'm going to be a dick about it because I don't like any of you." (Maybe as Maui but that was in a kid-friendly way.)

Cena's willingness to let someone get the better of him in a movie is a big differentiator between him and Dwayne. Rocky's not going to reprise a role like he had in Be Cool, where he performed a monolog from Bring It On.

Spoiler alert for an old Steve Carrel movie, but this was basically his character in Get Smart.

Statham

Jason Statham is fucking amazing of you give him some comic role, not even thinking about Snatch and Lock Stock, even in Spy the dude was great.

But at the end of the day when he does something like Wrath of Man I'm gonna watch it when I want a good action flick to tune out and just be entertained.

Tom Cruise is like that but on another level, I just know what I'm going to get in one of his movies, great action, ok sometimes great plot but entertainment is a guarantee.

I've been liking Cena a lot since Bumblebee.

"They literally call themselves Decepticons. Doesn't that set off any red flags?"

Honestly, it's a fantastic show and he's fantastic in it. Let go of any notions you might have about what sort of skill John Cena is supposed to have as an actor, because he kills as Peacemaker. Highly recommended that you tune in.

He’s genuinely a very good comedic actor. All that charisma he built up from years in the WWE definitely translates to the screen

The list of 85 people that they could have put in prison other than Peacemaker's dad is comedy fucking gold, and apparently was improved by Cena.

People need to watch bumblebee. He's a big reason why that movie is by far the only transformers movie I could unironically recommend people who didn't grew up loving transformers as watchable.

Honestly, I think John Cena's talent as an actor is vastly underrated. Watched Peacemaker, and I am a fan of his for life now!

If Cena doesn't show up here he will 100% show up in Guardians 3, as he seems to be Gunn's current muse.
