And are demanding the boycott of everything Superman until Cavill is back because what else are they gonna do? what about going outside for some fresh air or get a life as long as you look past this one actor who seems to be central to your life.

There's plenty of online articles and YouTube videos about what's wrong with James Gunn for not using Henry Cavill. They're so attached to Cavill that they don’t want anyone else playing Superman.

They're idiots (and I don't dislike Snyder, although he made some dumb decisions on his DC run).

It might some mental health issues with these people and their perception of reality.

I think anyone with common sense and can look at things objectively can see recasting Superman was inevitable.

They say they wanted Cavill but didn't support anything when they come out, it's easier for them to go online to hashtag bring back Henry Cavill.

'I think anyone with common sense and can look at things objectively can see recasting Superman was inevitable.'

Absolutely. I'm glad, too. I liked Cavill enough in the role but for me there was never a 'wow factor' at his casting.

In reality he was a plank of wood the entire time he played the character, outside of the one time he played classic Supes in Josstice League, the most Superman he ever was is in the version of Justice League that everybody hates.

Think people are so attached to the actor than the product they are in that they don't think about what could be.

Think some people don't like it like their favourite character is recast because they're so attached to a previous actor.

I hope they start a petition so we can see how irrelevant they are.

[–] MickyMac (3186) 7 months ago

There's plenty of petitions to get Henry Cavill back.

We've seen them trash Tyler Hoechlin and Brandon Routh's return as Kingdom Come Supes, apparently to them anybody who might be cast as Superman is insulting Henry Cavill, this obsession with Cavill has warped these people's minds, it might be a man crush taken to extreme levels, I really don't get people's obsession with Cavill.

But, are they?

Fans go crazy when their favourite character is recast because they're so attached to a previous actor.

[–] RoboReCop (3310) 8 months ago

I totally agree. It was quite the thing when DCEU axed, unaxed, and re-axed Cavill.

But is it still a thing now? Are there groups of people, like an online campaign, actually still complaining?

Think recasting Superman was inevitable after the disaster of Justice League 2017 and Black Adam.

The humiliation Cavill faced after Black Adam could've been avoided if the studio didn't let The Rock dictate who he should be facing off on screen.

These people can't move past the fact that Henry Cavill is no longer Superman, to them a Superman movie with Henry Cavill is somehow an absolute must.

It is not a thing, this guy just wants to believe there's a giant group of people who are against this film simply because they recast superman when the fact of the matter is this is the 500th time they've made a superman movie and it's enough already. The character sucks and when we already have superhero fatigue, starting a franchise over again with the most done to death hero is the last thing anyone wants to see.

Fuck off

[–] Lord Rake (4462) 7 months ago

Well that is an easy way to get me to stay. You just can't get enough of the superman origin story that we have seen 20 times already and a character with only one weakness and no character flaws.

[–] MickyMac (3186) 6 months ago

Think this obsession with Cavill being Superman has led to people not being fans of Superman, just Snyderverse Superman, also not being fans of Cavill, Snyder fans don't support him in anything else he's in.

[–] MickyMac (3186) 6 months ago

Fuck off

[–] asom (6847) 6 months ago

Make me!!!

But you are free to fuck off.
