Who'd have thought our Star Lord could've been the Man of Steel?

Would of made a terrible Superman in an already heavily flawed film, and I love Pratt too. Like he said, it's a good thing he didn't get it.

I'm also glad he wasn't Superman, because that would have been f***ing terrible. (I'm assuming, we haven't really seen anything that suggests that Pratt could pull of that kind of Character)
I thought Routh was pretty great. Superman Returns really had a lot of great parts, but was terribly flawed in putting them together. Really the whole idea of doing a sequel to the Donner films was a mistake.

I doubt he was seriously even considered.

Like I looked it up and he was on some show called Everwood which I didn't know existed until today. Was it a big show? Like in other news struggling actor or semi famous actor auditioned for movie blockbuster role before becoming super famous  |

I love Pratt, but Superman doesn't fit him at all.
I think he could play it, but the role wouldn't have played to his strengths at all. It'd have been very apparrent he was playacting Superman rather than seeming like the character

One of the biggest bright spots for me was the appearance of Chris Pratt. |

Chris Pratt? Nah, agree with the casting director. |

One of the good things about the CW shows is Routh gettin solid work as a superhero.
Even though his Atom is pretty much Blue Beetle.

Superman was a sadsack in Superman Returns.
Pratt would have been hilariously miscast.

Superman Returns really was broken from the start. People attack Zack Snyder for his gloomy Superman, but Bryan Singer made a movie where Superman gets shivved and then gets beaten by three guys while sobbing. People bag on the Marvel formula a lot, but my god could Superman use a little Marvel formula. |

That said the Plane Crash scene is better and more like Superman than anything in Either Man of Steel or BVS. |

Chris Pratt? We talking about the same moron who wanted more "blue-collar" roles in Hollywood? I guess he was referring to the blue on Superman's suit.

Brandon Routh was was a great choice to play superman.
Its just a pity that Bryan Singer felt the need to turn him into a mopey bastard who did bugger all in a super boring two and half hour film.

Chris Pratt? We talking about the same moron who wanted more "blue-collar" roles in Hollywood? I guess he was referring to the blue on Superman's suit. I honestly don't get the outrage in that statement. I hated how the writer of the article tried to spin the article as if Chris Pratt was talking about race, sexual orientation, gender when blue collar has nothing to do with that but instead with class. Like most of the movies that feature a every day blue collar lead these days is something ridiculous like Mark Wahlberg as a Inventor in Transformers or some biopic movie about a natural/terrorist/famous Boston man with family problems disaster starring Mark Wahlberg or a blue collar guy resorting to crime starring Mark Wahlberg. That or he has to resort to watching those bad Christian/Country Hallmark style movies that Shawn Michaels seems to be always in now. I get what he's saying that he finds a lot of Hollywood movies unrelatable to his rural upbringing that most movie leads feature some upper middle class family or single person in either LA/Chicago/New York/Seattle working as an extremely good looking lawyer/real estate/dentist/office executive/writer/producer/college professor/something quirky. One of the worst examples in top of my head was Dinner for Schmucks when the movie tried to get us to feel sorry for Paul Rudd complaining about his lack of promotion and success despite having an nice flat in NYC with a Porsche and a extremely hot french girlfriend during 2010. Like when I do see a movie like Joe or A Place Beyond the Pines or 99 Homes or even Barbershop and Moonlight it stands out a lot more especially during tough economic times that actually depicts people working everyday jobs, struggling financially, making other characters relatable and not be condescending towards them, and coming of a place of a broken home and a broken town/neighborhood and the tough times it brings out to everybody. And you find out later most of those movies were personal stories written by the screenwriter or director. Hell they rarely have sitcoms depicting families struggling like they used too with Roseanne, Married with Children, Malcolm in the Middle, and even older episodes of The Simpsons and instead you get more Modern Family or the wacky variety hour which celebrity will make a cameo style show The Simpsons has become. Plus Chris Pratt seems like one of the coolest guys in Hollywood. He spends a lot of time back home giving tons of money to the community to girls and boys clubs and was inspired to audition for Star Lord when heard that Johnny Depp always carries his Jack Sparrow Costume with him in his car in case he has time to visit Children Hospitals. What it seems he's not to far off from Andy Dwyer like how the rest of the cast of Parks and Rec were practically playing exaggerated versions of themselves. Come to think of it that was a great Blue Collar Show but Greg Daniels made a career making relatable and diverse filled shows like that with King of the Hill and The Office. You don't have to agree with him or find his statement a bit asinine but it's hardly an offensive thing to get outraged by. |
