I havent watched any of the spiderman movies...I actually dislike most superhero movies.

Just chimed in because you seem mad over entertainment...and that makes me have sad feels for you.

Venom is a lesser known supervillain to the masses so they can take as many liberties as they want with him because this will be the first time will be introduced to him.

If you ask 100 people who venom is I bet people would think he is a pro wrestler. Ask the same people who Wonder Woman is and they know who she is and how she should look.

I don't know about that. In the ethos of Spiderman, Venom is a pretty important villain, and a pretty major one in Marvel.

And its not so much that Eddie Brock was miscast. Its that they almost got him and Cletus Cassidy mixed up. The Venom in SM3 was more like Carnage than Venom. So if you want to have him be a maddening serial killer, just skip Venom and make him Carnage.

If Thor looked like Jim Parsons people would revolt. Its the same thing, its not too much to ask to have people not only act well, but look the part.
Makes sense.

To the masses not people who casually follow comics.

I agree about the importance of venom but I am not the masses. Imagine Jay Leno asking about Venom and Wonder woman in his Jay Walking bits. This is who I am referring to.

While I agree with the Amazon Princess not being skinny, the Jim Parsons example is stupid.

Jim Parsons is not even mildly in shape to play Thor. Gal Gadot is a very attractive woman with dark hair and dark skin. She is not the body type we know Wonder Woman to be, but she is a lot closer to that than Parsons is to Thor...and it isn't close. Now, Paul Walker (RIP) as Thor would be a closer example.

Is there any chance the studio makes a change or is it too late? Has shooting already started with this bean pole?

Get over it. They aren't changing. She'll be fine. I don't like the casting at the moment, but I'll give it a chance.

ETA: She is beautiful and has a great body. She'll look great on screen, at least.

Wonder Woman is pretty well known character. Venom is not on her level of popularity, but anyone somewhat familiar with spider man is going to know who venom is.

I guess but unless she gets incredibly ripped its going to look ridiculous. It's really not the boobs so much as its her entire body type. She just does not have the look of a woman who would lead her people into battle.

Of course, Warner is the company that was trying to bring us this as Superman so...

This is actually a pretty good comparison.

WW should be physically imposing.

Fr a guy with almost 60,000 post you are not very good at trolling.

If you have no interest in superhero movies, then you are only here to try and upset people, which makes me feel sad for you. Things in my life like sex, money, and purpose keep me from having to do stupid shite like that for entertainment.

Nobody in this thread has come off as "mad"

Once again, this is a forum where people come to discuss different things. That's what I was doing, that is what most people in this thread are doing. What is so hard about that for you to comprehend?

Not in the least. I would simply like WW to appear voluptuous and somewhat physically imposing as she does in every rendition I have ever seen of her. The casting simply makes no sense whatsoever. I want a WW with some knockers!

I do think people get carried away with the whole breast thing. All around she just does not look the part.

In my mind I cannot imagine a scenario where she will look the part. I would like to be wrong.

This is what Wonder Woman is supposed to look like. It is non negotiatable. She has to look the part of an Amazonian woman to look believable while kicking arse. She better hope she looks like this, because if she isn't, she's talking out of her arse.

How men find women this thin to be attractive is beyond me; doesn't have the WW look at all.





Would look much better with about 15-20 lbs added
