That isn't really her fault it's more that they didn't give her time until Winter Soldier where she played the role really well.  She's an ex-KGB agent, she's only got so much personality period.  Renner doesn't get any time either to expand on his role.

 

Chris Evans as Captain America has grown on me, but when the casting news first came out I thought the actors playing Hawkeye and Captain America should have been flip flopped.

 

Sometimes I still think that.

Perhaps the blame is on Nolan (one of the few annoyances in the trilogy) for making Bale so robotic with the Keysi Fighting Method and the voice going on overdrive but Christian has been the best Batman thus far -- I'll concede to that. That said, I felt Keaton captured Batman's sociopathic personality perfectly (more so than Bale). I honestly believed that Keaton's Batman did have psychological issues.

Eh, I'm not gonna write off Affleck yet. Yeah, he's not a great actor but Snyder has the ability to make average actors appear like world class talents.

 

I'm not a fan of 'conflicted Batman' honestly.

 

It works well for Spider Man, but Batman has such a singularity of purpose and dedication to what he does that if anything, he should have a god complex.

 

(and of course the obvious anger issues)

 

As heroes go, I think the guys who should always be portrayed as having the fewest questions about their mission are Batman and The Punisher.

 

(and while I'm a Tom Jane fan, I still haven't found a Punisher I'm completely satisfied with either)

burt ward had to turn down the role for The Graduate because the show was such a huge hit, they didn't want any confusion in the mind of audiences, or to sully the wholesome image of the character.  of course, they were really just protecting their "property"

 

and dusting hoffman became a star and burt ward faded into obscurity

Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor (for the semi-campy original Superman).

 

The rumors going around with Bryan Cranston as the next Lex Luthor.....ahh, how I wish they were true.

 

I liked Hemsworth as Thor and Sir Anthony Hopkins as Oden was pretty spot on as well.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
