That's hypocritical, you were just saying don't tell you you're wrong for believing Deathstroke should be the same age as Batman but I'm not right for saying I don't care about the age of an actor playing a masked character.
That **** only matters if the mask is coming off and you're stretching it by making the an older actor play younger or going the extra mile forcing a younger actor with the mask off to play much older. If the mask stays on it doesn't really matter.
Yes.
I think Tobey Maguire almost 40 or is 40 now. I'd welcome him back as Spidey easily.
We talking about age and you jump to Tom Hanks playing Black Panther
Think about that.
Where has this been established?
Just cuz Batffleck older doesn't mean Deathstroke has to be. Batman being older than Superman firmly establishes that the ages of heroes or villains do not have to follow any guideline at all.
Arrow doesn't ******* matter. That show is literally about Oliver just starting out as the Green Arrow.
He's supposed to be a seasoned vet. I don't see what the arguments about honestly
Where do I start...
You basically said masked characters don't have to fit their character description.
No I didn't.
I said the ages don't matter as much.
The thing here is you're trying to sell the idea that Deathstroke's age = character description. Haven't been doing the best job of that so far with your Black Panther Tom Hanks comparison for obvious reasons.
A 20 year old can play a 40 year old because he wears a mask. My point is, why stop there?
You don't have to stop there. We can make Deathstroke a female too.
You just gotta come up with a better justification than what if Black Panther never takes off his mask
Why not let Tom Hanks (white) play Black Panther since he's wearing a mask.
Cuz the Black Panther is a black African king of a fictional country in the Marvel universe.
He isn't just a guy in a mask.
However, if you're talking about a movie where Panther never talks and is never seen out of his costume sure go ahead and do that Tom Hanks movie. It'd be interesting to see how THAT would be pulled off
Again, you're bringing up Batfleck.. IT WAS JUST AN EXAMPLE. It could be Bale. My point is Deathstroke should not be 20 years old. He's always been an older character.
I'm saying it doesn't matter what Batman age is. Batffleck or Bale's Batman or Clooney or Kilmer. Batman's age has nothing to do with Deathstroke's.
What's crazy is saying an actor could be way younger than the character he's playing because he's wearing a mask.
That's not crazy at all. Watch some movies.
Young actors play older characters ALL OF THE TIME.
Even if we're not talking about masked characters. The costume and makeup departments make young actors look older. Hell in Coming To America Eddie Murphy and Arseino Hall were playing older black and Jewish men for comedic effect.
But since we're talking about a guy who keeps his mask on the majority of the time while he's killing ppl it doesn't matter as much.
But turn around and saying its not ok that the masked character is a different race than the person portraying.
Well that's stupid for obvious reasons unless you're making a comedy or a purposely offensive movie.
I don't think I have to explain to you why a person's race isn't the same thing as a person's age. Trust that's a much longer argument if you seriously don't know the difference and want to argue that they're the same.
You can't just pick and choose what aspects of a character you want to defy. Leave that to the filmmakers
Yes you can
Before you tried to justify this by saying the fans wouldn't want it now you're saying leave it to the film makers. Make up ya mind
If deathstrokes not old, whats the point?
imo not an interesting character if he's not old.
I don't find him interesting either way which is why I don't see the difference if somebody young plays him.
Is this like a badass oldman thing like Cable?
Extensive Deathstroke discussion in a marvel thread. Now I understand how it must feel like for dc people when we discuss marvel stuff in the dc thread.
It's happened many times before.
Short memories.
