“I stocked up on source material and buried my head in it for a while,” Cavill said. “I didn’t get a chance to indulge in comics as a kid, which I’m actually quite happy about because as an adult I get to read the best of it. . . And I do enjoy them; as an adult I have retained my sense of wonder and love of stories and fantasy world. I really liked ‘Death of Superman’ and ‘Return of Superman,’ those are my favorite ones, and ‘The New 52‘ is great stuff and ‘Earth One,’ although I know people think that is a mixed bag.”
He spoke in detail about “Red Son,” an alternative-reality story where Superman grows up in the Soviet Union. “With ‘Red Son,’ I thought it was interesting as a different perspective,” Cavill said. “It was out there and I like that. It was essential to my character research, too. When you’ve got two polar opposite viewpoints of the same character, you will see what the authors consider the important baseline trend. I got to see that and see the different ways he would have developed and that was very useful to me.”
He has also gone on the record for loving Superman:Kryptonite
What does /co/ think? I think they are ok choices
>>78848456
>‘Death of Superman’ and ‘Return of Superman,’ those are my favorite ones
This is the fucking balding pleb they got for Superman.
How can one actor be so based?
>>78848534
>return of superman
>not good
>>78848534
>The balding meme
What is it with Cavill that make so many guys turning as competitive/threatened as women?
>Tsk, he's not even THAT handsome. He, like, might has well been cast as Luthor with his bald head.
>>78848456
“And because we are retelling the story and we are doing our own reinvention and a modernization for the screen, I get the opportunity to add my own interpretation of how he developed,” he went on. “So that was cool to look at ‘Red Son’ and see what changed, what didn’t change and what that reveals about the baseline of Superman. You can find what is essential to Superman and what is nature vs. nurture by locating that baseline.”
forgot to finish the quote
>>78848622
It's not.
Stories both before and after it in the samge "age" were superior yet people don't talk about them because "muh event".

Who cares if he has poor taste in comics? Him having any taste in comics at all is a miracle. He missed the initial call that said he got the part of Superman because he was busy playing vidya. He's practically one of us, fer chrissakes, even if the scripting and direction are terrible.
>>78849014
at least he admits his picks are controversial, and he didnt just say shit like Allstar and Birthright
>6.0 action comics 1 actually exists
wew lad
>>78849182
His hair looks better in that pic
>>78848534
Death of Superman wasn't a bad story though. I know you get your opinions from Max Landis and all but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as some of the garbage stories I've seen in superhero comics.
>New52
If he's talking about Morrison's Action Comics run he's got superb taste.
>>78848650
Can't tell ifit's any worse than legbeard feminist getting a bad case of breast envy
>>78849367
that run was amazing wish morrison stayed, Clark becoming a fireman is one of my favourite moments and I love how the run embraced both the Golden and Silver age

There you go.

He looks fine, /tv/. I know washing your hair takes way time to shitpost, but give it a rest.

he's so precious
I want to read comics with Cavill ;_;
>>78848650
People enjoy making fun of other peopleespecially gorgeous peoplewhen they can't be seen as the unwashed landwhales they are behind the Anonymous handle.
>>78849894
I want to play vidya with Cavil.
>>78848456
Solid opinions.
Seems like he actually read the comics instead of just Googling All Star's Wikipedia summary and reciting praise about it. Come to think of it, I can't even remember the last time I heard of an actor talking about the comics he read for the role at all. Did Ben say anything about prepping for Batman?
>>78854184
Ben has been a Batman fan since forever.
>>78854184
Ben was a Batfag before he got this role, he's probably read everything.
>>78854262

Dude almost missed a casting call because he was playing Warcraft. He's a Vin Diesel-tier nerd.

Life is just like MGS2's ending anon.
>>78854606

It's fake. That was from an interview he did, the video is on youtube. It was a fun thread though.

>>78854570
Suck his dick.
The only actor I know who definitely liked comics before going into cape movies is Nicolas Cage.
He has a Ghost Rider tattoo and he named himself after Luke Cage.
>>78848534
Do not fuck with a man who trained so hard his hair fell out.
>>78854541
Don't believe everything you hear, son.
>>78856540
Am I mistaken or you quoted Batfleck? You're awesome anon.
>>78854184
Sebastian Stan talked about Brubaker's work in a number of interviews. And Charlie Cox read most Daredevil runs it seems.
>>78849367
Not as bad as some stories does not equal best Superman story.
>>78857085
What do you consider to be the best Superman story?
>>78854564
That chest-hair peeking out underneath his suit bothers me
>>78857147
Really? I prefer him with chest-hair.
>>78857227
Real men have body hair. If you're a "man" with no body hair remove yourself from the gene pool.
>>78857227
That's cause you're homo
>Death of Superman’ and ‘Return of Superman,’ those are my favorite ones
Well at least he didn't say Silver Age, those are still horrible
>>78857410

>>78857257

what are you, gay?
>>78848456
Not bad, not bad at all, Cavill
Further proof that Henry Cavill is bro-tier and not a casualI'm single if you're reading this plz call me
>>78854497
>no more shitty filter that makes the costume look dull as fuck
Glad Snyder fixed this problem from MoS.
>>78855322

Jeffrey Fucking Dean Morgan is a very recent example of studs that suck the source materials cock.
>>78854497
Spoopy Supes.
>>78849014
He actually bangs many chicks. Look for paparazzi pic of him with random chicks from clubs.
>>78859016
He is a gift that god bestowed upon the women of Earth, it's only fair of him to make as many women happy as possible.
>>78849014
>He's practically one of us, fer chrissakes
I doubt he regularly reads comics or watches cartoons.
>>78859016
Wasn't he banging Gina Carano for a while?
Is this the balding general?
>>78859147
Yeah, he's more /vg/ I think
>>78859147
So he's practically one of us.
>>78859147
He tries at all, he's in the club compared to the man on the street who thinks comic books are for faggots.
Who cares. Superman is a shitty-ass generic character either way.
>>78859160
His latest girlfriend is some random college student, don't know who he dated before that
>Read a bunch of Superman
>Doesn't realize that the movie he was in was shit
Liar.
>>78859419
Kill yourself :-)
>>78859419
Well maybe he does, but why would he bad mouth it especially when he's working with the same people who's giving him the megabux?
>>78860206
>he hasn't seen Chuck Jones' Superior Duck
>>78859419
Most people who hate MoS are those who've only read All Star, and who have no idea that there are Superman comics like Death of Superman, in the first place.
>>78859160
He dated that chick from the big bang theory also
I'm still salty at the fact that i'll never bro it up with Cavill and some FO4
>>78860697
Based.

Figures
>>78860697
>you'll never suck his dick while he plays Fallout 4
>>78848456
>although I know people think that is a mixed bag
This is something I like that actually shows an actor claiming to like the material has actually read it. Knowing stories you enjoy have a mixed reaction from other people shows you're a little more invested in the material than just "oh I read 10 comics about this character and I liked these two."
>>78861348
>FO4 is bad
Yeah, okay.
>>78861348
He's a WoW nerd, don't be surprised

Hello, Reddit.
>>78861406
Don't be gay, my dude.
>>78861348
Fucking this, but it's not too surprising. Would still bro it up with him though.
>>78861606
>>78861691
What am i even doing? /co/ doesn't like anything.
>>78861823
This is not a /co/ exclusive opinion.
Most people have come to the conclusion its not good enough at anything it tries to do outside of maybe its gunplay
>>78857147
It bothers me in my pants too.
>>78854184
Before Ben got the role, I heard Kevin Smith talk on his podcast that he let Ben borrow TDKR when they were making Mallrats and he loved it
>>78861691
>Don't be gay, my dude.
No
>>78861406
Just die in my sleep already.
>>78861521
its not that its bad, its been over hyped to death that its safe to assume everyone is playing it.
>>78861406
there's always Fallout 5;_;
>>78861348
How can you tell? He just wrote that he got the game and intends to play it, he didn't say that he loved it.
>>78861901
Then how does it get such good ratings?
Every person i know who plays it loves the fuck out of it and so do i.
>>78862529
It doesn't
Go on Metacritic and look at the User score
You're also all casuals
>>78861521
It's an ok action game. But a horrible rpg.
>>78848456
Based Henry
>>78862529
It's not a bad game, but it's literally more of the same thing. Perhaps I'd enjoy it much more if I didn't play the Witcher right before
>>78854184
Ryan Reynolds is a huge Deadpool fan and has been pushing for a Deadpool movie for a long time.

Never heard about Ben talking Batman but he is the sole reason why Daredevil movie happened. Apperantly, DD was his favorite superhero.
Heard that he read a lot of Miller comics back then.
>>78862569
>Metacritic's rating is low, while all others are high. Which means it's the trustworthy review.
>If you like a popular game, you are a casual.
I'll admit, I'm starting to get a little "Stop not liking what i like", but hating something that people outside your room enjoy, for the sake of being contrary is dumb.
Now i've payed too much attention to this, which means i'm going to be called autistic. Go ahead.
>>78863363
It's a well made game, but it's basically just Fallout 3 with more stuff to do. I imagine its sequel will be better than it, the same way New Vegas was better than 3. There's a reason Witcher 3 is winning every game award from last year.
>>78865090
What's Witcher like?
>>78865567
Amazing. Vast open world, beautiful to look at, immersive as fuck, fantastic main story, side quests that aren't just busy work.
>>78865090
But it's worse than FO3 you god damn idiot
>>78865835
What is? 4? I agree.
>>78848650
I'd fuck Cavill
Only with the beard
>>78854184
Jon Bernthal also read up on a lot of Punisher recently too.
If I remember right Vincent D'Onofrio also read into Kingpin comics.
>>78854184
The guy who's playing the Martian Manhunter on Supergirl apparently read a bunch of comics to get into the role.
>>78865090
new vegas was an overrated expansion pack
sure it improves on alot of things that 3 did but the setting of a rebuilt wasteland is so boring it's hard to play it without the DLC or mods
>b-but muh gray morality
the 3 main factions in the story are black & white too they're just not to the degree that FO3 was
>>78861901
Running around in power armor (specifically the animations and sound design) gave me a raging boner but otherwise it was pretty shit

>>78854184
Are you the same guy who shitposts about All-Star every thread?
>>78876248
Why would I be jealous I like having hair
>>78876469
Bald off, Lex. You and me.
Every time Cavill talks about Superman, he always comes off as having a pretty solid handle on what he thinks the character is/should be. Cool guy.
It's too bad the direction, script and his own fairly wooden acting were such a let down though. Better luck next time.
