I wouldn't say I'm questioning it, Bob.
He is indeed a very handsome man.
I don't see it. He just looks like a buff version of the guys in my family.
Hi can I fuck your family
Better to ask forgiveness than for permission.
I don't think you should be applying that rule to sex.
Ah yes. Of course we always need consent for sexy times. But unless we are having them with confusedbythebasics specifically, they have no say.

Sexuality is a spectrum and feeling attracted to Henry is a common trait.
If you're a man and you're not attracted to Henry Cavill, then you're gay.

That's not part of the cycle. That's just a big status effect he permanently applies to people.
Not at all, if anything I feel affirmed. He seems like a really cool guy. A shame he keeps getting shafted.
He was a great Superman. Perfect casting. Wrong director and story.
And I sometimes get crap for this but Batfleck was pretty good too. Those movies had issues, oh my yes, but the casting for those 2 roles was not one of them. Luthor, on the other hand...
Superman has always been a bit of a boring character, which IMO is hard to write for to make interesting beyond the origin / coming of age story.
I think screwing up Batman is a lot more offensive. So much good lore and villians to work with.
IMO, Affleck played a terrible Fatman. He wasn't dark and brooding, he was wooden and boring. It wasn't just the story, but Afflecks portrayal of the character.

Probably a hot take, but I think Batfleck was the closest we've gotten to a comicbook accurate Batman. Batfleck's size and build were correct (physically imposing, could have been a bit taller), he was intelligent, mostly broody, and could fight. There are some things that could have been better (being a martial artist instead of being a brawler), but of all the movie incarnations so far I'd say he's the closest.
Honestly the scene with him going after the warehouse full of baddies to save Ma Kent was the closest live action version of cartoon Batman ever, and it was glorious.

So any news on Warhammer 40k?
I really hope he catches break with that one. Seemed really passionate about it.
And the whole setting allows for awesome sci fi, with spin offs if successful. I'm not holding my breath but it would be awesome if the series opens the door for broad application of the franchise.
Decades of universe building and flexible enough to allow new stuff. But Tyranids, orcs, chaos, eldar, necron, Hive cities, battlefleet, titans.. please don't let them fuck this up.
please don’t let them fuck this up.
Totally unrelated question: Which chaos god feeds on disappointment? Tzeentch? Malice?

I wouldn't hold out much hope. Games Workshop was a nightmare to work with in the past. Doubley more now that they're owned primarily by BlackRock and investment banks.
If Netflix can totally fuck up the literal gimmie that was the Witcher..
they need to get the guy who did the astartes cg, lock him in a room with cavill and let them hash out the first 10 movies.

The Witcher had so much damn potential, I absolutely loved the casting all around not just him (yen was mid tho)
I’m still salty
Both Yemefer and Triss were poor choices in my opinion. But I would have watched it regardless if there was anything of substance to watch after the first season.
That's the reason most big name actors have their own production companies to work on their own movies, you have way more control over your own role compared to being just another actor on set.
In any case, I think the audience still recognize great performances by individual actors even if the end product is badly reviewed or didn't do well at the box office, and there are lessons to be learned from the "Suicide Squad" and "Amsterdam" and "Babylon" until you finally get a "Barbie" against all expectations.
I hope he finds his own "Barbie" too.
And hopefully his "Barbie" is the Warhammer project he's trying to get off the ground.
That has the potential to be so much fun if done properly.

Sounds to me like he should be given veto power in projects he gets hired on to. I didn't mind the Witcher because I hadn't gotten very far into the lore myself and didn't see how much it had gone off the original path, but I'm kinda tired of producers and directors taking an existing story but then changing huge parts of it.
There's nothing wrong with telling your own story but enough with the bait and switch ones. Give it your own name, don't leech off of the name recognition of already loved stories.
I personally am not a rabid Witcher book fan — I swear, some folks think they are the best literature out there and they very much are not — but in their quest to make Yennefer a more fleshed out character, they screwed up her motivations and priorities. She’s supposed to be like a mother to Ciri. I did not watch season 3 but it was not looking good for their relationship at the end of season 2.
They did try to fix the Yennefer/Ciri relationship in S3.
But it suffers from the same problem with the other seasons where the writers are too busy trying to be clever to just tell the story. Like they show a party where a bunch of random shit happens then they later show a bunch of flashbacks to explain what the hell happened. You can imagine them all congratulating themselves in the writer's room on how brilliant they are to come with telling it that way.
They introduced a new character who's either a bad actress or poorly directed. Or both. There's one scene where she's holding a dead pheasant and I'm not sure if she was posing or waiting for the director to say "cut". Either way it's awkward and cringey as hell.

I deeply wish The Man From Uncle kept going. Sure the whole Armor Hammer thing was pretty unfortunate, but geeze is that movie (and soundtrack) a fun watch
"Spectre" came out the same year. Man from UNCLE was by far the superior spy flic.

Maybe he'll produce his own thing based on one of his favourite IPs one day.
EDIT: or today as he's executive producer on the new Warhammer 40k stuff from Amazon!
Yup https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/12/16/warhammer-starring-henry-cavill/
But it looks like he and we got screwed, again! https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64634526/
It's on the edge of getting shelved!!

I was enjoying The Witcher, it's unfortunate.
Well, my expectations were subverted.
I thought it was going to be awesome Q_Q
casted
The participle is 'cast'. Here's your tree.
