He's up there with Shea and Rosenbaum as far as live action Lexes go

>>149386851 (OP)
He's definitely the best movie Lex we've gotten to date

>>149386851 (OP)
SO from what ive read everyone is a pretty good actor and enjoyable to watch other than superman or luois, or am i being mislead?

I am begging Gunn to do a World's Finest movie where Lex teams up with Joker, and then followed by a Justice League movie with THE LEGION OF DOOM
>>149386864
Everyone casted is on point, even the Daily Planet crew

>>149386864
I didn't like the movie and thought it was trash, so my assessment is without bias
Lex is a great actor, Supes and Terrific and Guy are good actors, all the women are meh, Jimmy is cringe

>>149386851 (OP)
I love how this Lex is actually willing to get his hands dirty time to time, makes me think that maybe we'll see him dawn the green power suit.

>>149386902
appreciate the honesty, as much as i love the authority i didnt expect engineer to be all that likeable in this

>>149386862
This. It's not even really a question.

The only thing I'll say is that thanks to Clancy Brown, I've always read Lex's dialogue with a deep, baritone voice. But that's more nitpicking, he was otherwise fucking amazing. Maybe even the best in the movie.

One aspect that I really liked about this version of the character that I haven't seen anyone else bring up is that he has own crew of white-collar underlings, who directly assist in his crimes and schemes despite highly likely being underpaid and constantly abused by him.

>>149387007
I liked when he trashed his office and they without a word got up to immediately start sweeping it up
visual storytelling that this is what they know to do

Besides Tessmacher and Otis, were any of Lex's assistants pre-existing characters?

>>149387092
Yes, most if not all of them.

The Asian guy is Larry chin which could probably be Combattor since Combattors real name is Laurence chin. The mustache guy is is Sydney who was a scientist at lex corp during brynes run

>>149386851 (OP)

This Lex would absolutely turn down literal godhood just to avoid admitting that Superman is actually a pretty great guy.

The only thing missing from this movie was Lex in his Lexosuit

He was excellent

>>149387007
I enjoyed the movie because Lex has proper henchmen and they had personality.

>>149387730
I hope Mercy comes in later

How can step up my hater game to be on the same level as Lex?

>>149387986
embrace your weakness' and find ways to better yourself to spite others.

>>149387986
Hire a room full of people willing to aid you in your petty revenge

>>149387986
Join the Snyder Cult. The level of obsession and pettiness is uncanny

He was pure evil. Great villain

>>149386851 (OP)
If any of you niggas like seeing Hoult as a petty obsessive egomaniac, I'd recommend The Great where he perfected it

>>149386862
>>149386851 (OP)
you people only know Gene Hackman from his unfortunate death

you've got this Greg Evigan-tier actor and you're sucking his dick because there's been nothing else but the fat-bottomed lad in the gimp suit and the tired white guy with the greying dreadlocks for years

you absolute fuckwits

>>149386872
why would Lex team up with Joker? does he need some clown to get raped as a distraction while a real crime is happening

>>149388143
>why would Lex team up with Joker
a spanner to throw into the superheros works. just let him loose and hell find a way to disrupt the heroes

I like when hawkgirl killed netanyahu

Do you think this Lex will run for president?

>>149388143
Lex will sometimes ally himself with Joker, believing he can control The Clown Prince of Crime while also recognizing that his out of the box thinking yields results. It's a great straight man/zany man dynamic. You start it in Worlds Finest, then expand into LoD

>>149388131
so many words just to say "I'm malding"

>>149388535
seems more like a toddler stamping his feet because the adults keep ignoring him when he tugs on their jacket,

>>149388306
i think, if this gets sequels, that plot is effectively guaranteed. It's his most famous story. Gunn and hollywood love mocking presidents. This movie is being praised primarily for Lex.

>>149388306
he can try, but as Maxwell Lord says, the one thing conservatives and liberals can finally agree on is "Lex Luthor is trash"

>>149386862
His voice is too high-pitched, he’s too small, and he’s a bit too spastic. Lex should be also more humorous (as Hackman was).

I do like that he was a mad scientist who used the pretense of his industrial personality as just a tool for his higher goal of killing Superman. He’s the smartest man in the world, and he knows it. But I like Lex knowing and hating Superman in Smallville, with everything else just being a justification for his initial conflict there. Lex also as someone who could realistically be Superman’s friend but is just out of reach, with the capacity of good underneath his evil actions, also isn’t shown here at all.

I would give it a 6/10.

>>149386851 (OP)
I wanted there to be a bit more contempt in his performance
Also rare instance where the Lex is more handsome than the Clark

>>149386851 (OP)
Chances of gunn adding him and superman's son?

>>149386864
Lois is a good actress, I've seen here in two things. I disagree with the people who have posted here over the weekend that the chemistry between her and Coronswet isn't legit. I know that the hot take from that trailer and the way it was edited still pissed the people off who want women to be barefoot and pregnant and nothing more, but I'd say most of her scenes could be enjoyed and yes you are being mislead.

David was good as Clark. He was decent to good as Superman. He's very much like Smallville Welling was near the first half of that series, probably up until the team up years with Ollie and the - whatever you want to call them - nascent JLA? And very much like the MAWS Clark as well, and I personally do prefer the competency that Routh showed as Superman, or Henry when he was allowed to be competent Superman, which was barely, and definitely Tyler got to show on TV.

>>149386862
He's better than most of the TV Lex, but that's mostly because Rosenbaum got so much shitty dialogue and got to hold the Idiot Ball for far too long. Hackman was great, just different.

He's definitely a good modern Lex.

>>149389170
very high

>>149387007
>>149387018
>>149387730
Lex's personal coterie of highly and easily excitable Big Balls/Doge teens?

Damn Billy Corgan looks like THAT?!?

>>149386851 (OP)
Why was he so chuddy? Not the alien part, I'm talking about how much he hated the women around him.

I can perfectly see this Lex taking a pic of Superman's face when he learns Krypton is gone

>>149390082
Byrne Lex influence

>>149386862
fucking delusional. he was the worst part of the movie. he looks like he came straight out of college wearing his dad's fucking suit and sounds like a baby. he carries 0 authority, 0 charisma and does not look the part at all.

>>149389278
The actress who played Lois was very cute and played the role perfectly.

>>149387007
He's got a cult of personally, which make sense as the worlds smartest.

>>149389287
Yeah I don't think Gunn can resist the black leather jacket

>>149386851 (OP)
Buy a fucking ad.

>>149390633
do not redeem the snyderverse saar

>>149386851 (OP)
This is the modern tech billionaire Lex that Snyder tried to do, only done right.

People who think Lex should still be some hypermasculine ubermensch are living in the past. The archetype of the traditionally masculine industrialist power broker in the style of Rockerfeller and Vanderbilt is not only played out, but inaccurate. It probably always was.

Modern billionaires are almost invariably autistic socially dysfunctional psychopath narcissists who refuse to go to therapy and fixate on stupid shit instead of making the world a better place, whining incessantly about whatever new thing it is that they're not allowed to have.

This is a Lex Luthor for the modern world.

>>149390956
>This is a Lex Luthor for the modern world.
we fucking get it, social media this, social media that, dei good here's brown man sacrificing himself for superman, lets all take videos with our phone!!! we're all so LE MODERN. lets all show it in the most garish way to show how in touch I am, maybe it'll make up for this slop, ultrarushed story.
take your modern shit and shove it up your fucking ass.

>>149391963
I mean "supervillain smears the reputation of the hero as part of his scheme" is a trope that originated in the 20th century

>>149390956
He's still a fantastical character because he's actually as smart as real-world tech guys pretend to be.

>>149392010
has nothing to do with anything with the post your replying to does it?

He absolutely sucks as Lex

>>149390198
i really wish they'd done that panel instead of making jor-el and lara assholes

>>149386862
Gene Hackman was a billion times better

>>149386851 (OP)
Too bad Clancy Brown isn't willing to go bald or he would've been the best

>>149393234
"aren't you so mindbroken that krypton is exploded?"
"No."
"Huh but--"
"I never lived there. I always lived here. Am I supposed to cry cause people died before I was born?"

>>149387007
I liked the little hints that he's probably not quite as smart as viewers may assume a Lex is. Like fucking up his game of russian roulette instead of using mental math to predict it, like you'd expect the comic version to do, or getting totally played by his girlfriend.

>>149393446
"if anything this is the nicest possible explanation for my lovely life on earth, because they died of natural causes but still gave me the best life ever. Any other explanation would be they didn't want me and threw me out. I should thank you for discovering my comfy happy backstory for me"

>>149386851 (OP)
He’s done it before in Mad Max but man Nicholas Hoult can really rock the bald head.

>>149386864
I think the only downright bad actor is whoever plays Engineer, everyone else is okay at worst

>>149387092
The bowlcut & mustache guy Happersen was one of Lex's prime science goons in post-Crisis (he created Bizarro and I believe Superboy too) but I dunno about the rest of the command crew

>It was the best of Lex, it was the BLURST of Superman?
>You stupid monkey!

>>149393558
He's got the right bone structure for it. Very angular without being too sharp or too thin. Reminds me a lot of 47 from Hitman

>>149393850
I bet Hoult could play Agent 47 better than the other two who've done so in movies. not saying he'd be great, but he'd be better.

>>149388131
And also Jon Cryer.
