yea but that's because robert downey effectively IS Tony Stark. they just lucked out there.

it's really difficult (and ridiculously expensive) to establish a franchise with a high paid superstar. Batman gets away with it because he wears a mask, same with spider man. if you try to make brad pitt superman, it would just be brad pitt dressed up as superman. difficult thing to contend with.

I'm not saying you need to get someone like Brad Pitt or Jimmy Depp. But someone people have heard of, B list like on the level of John Hamm or Ryan Reynolds.

There's a reason they are famous, and it's because they're charismatic and people tend to like them. When you go with an unknown because they might look similar to Superman and can act alright, you're missing the key ingredient that is the charisma (read: swag) to actually be the larger than life character.

90% of people couldn't tell you who the hell played Superman in the last movie, because he was a swagless nobody that they hired because he had generic model looks.

i'm not saying it was good casting but good casting doesn't have to be recognizable actors. I attribute our lack of knowledge about the last guy who played superman more to the garbage movie than the actor.

a solid 80% of the reason i didn't want to see green lantern was ryan reynolds. I know EXACTLY what he brings to the table, it's exactly the same every movie he's in and I'll pass.

That's what I'm talking about.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
