Name the fandom. And repeats, etc.

The page isn't breaking and, possibly related, I think you forgot to put frozen posts?

Or a sign of trust in the director and writer?

[(Anonymous)]

tbf, it's a little different with comic books than it is with novels/plays because a ton of people have written, for example, The X-Men. And a lot of those writers interpret the characters differently, which often causes characterizations to shift depending on who's writing. Just ask Magneto fans.

I have nothing wrong with actors in comic book movies not reading the comics--after all, comic book movies tend to be pretty different from the comics they're based on (I think so, anyway; I'm not a big comics person but this has always been my impression). But the "it's to keep my character ~pure" thing is stupid.

[ketita]

I can kind of get why they wouldn't, since like people said, different interpretations of the characters can be insanely, wildly different, and in addition we're talking about a massive canon.
But I don't think there's anything praiseworthy about them not reading up on the character, and I think it would be better for them to read an iconic work or two, or one that seems close to the storyline they're working on or the portrayal they're doing.

Sometimes it smells to me a bit like "lol I'm not some ~comic book fan~ I'm a Pure Actor", which is obnoxious.

I think there are a lot of factors at play, actually.

[(Anonymous)]

I think actors who are big fans of whatever character they are playing sometimes get passed over, as they do, yes, already have an interpretation of the character in their heads that the director may feel conflicts with the director's.

I also think that once someone gets the part, they maybe don't want the director to think that their interpretation is coming from anywhere but the movie script, so that if they need to fight for a character beat or something, the director won't just dismiss it.

I also think that almost every comic book character has some series or run that has been questionable/controversial and the comic company probably doesn't want an actor to comment on it (and the actor's managers may not either) and if they haven't read any of the comics, then that one guy who wants to start something at Comic Con can't ask, "So what did you think of that terrible thing that happened to X/that awful story line/that stupid retcon?"

Did Under the Red Hood generate much fic? It was angsty broken Jason Todd voiced by a Winchester. If it didn't make much, there's no way a game will.

Isn't the original more of a horror movie and it's only the sequels that get weirdly humorous?

That's because Sara has chemistry with anything that moves.

I always did find it weird how FONV's combat seemed a bit backwards compared to even FO3's. It was especially irritating that headshots didn't seem to do as much damage.

I feel you, OP. I'd still happily read dub/noncon of this.

Any recs? (Non OP recs are alright as well).

I'm good with either one TBH. But I can see how frustrated you'd be if you were specifically looking for some Buffy/Angelus fic.

Is she the offspring of Predator and Alien? (From the X-rated sequel.)

Me too, anon. IMO, he never once phoned it in (even when he was tired of the role). Did you see The Devil's Bride? I thought he was amazing in that one.

I'm not much of a Faith fan, either. Her character comes across as the writers checking off their troubled bad girl box.
