What did you think if Edi's acting in Superman? Was he a good Mr Terrific? How would you rate him?

>>212791498 (OP)
One of the most based black characters since the 90s or early 2000s

I liked him a lot. The action sequence where he took out all the guards at the camp was phenomenal, reminded me of the best action set pieces from Guardians of the Galaxy. He pulled off a pretty good balance of being terse, kinda weird, but a solid friend. He worked great as a supporting character, not sure how he'd hold up in his own flick but Mr Terrific isn't even C-list as far as DC characters go so I doubt they'll try to make him a headliner.

Hope he's in whatever sequel they're planning though.

How is being monotone acting?

>>212791498 (OP)
The only good thing I hear about the film is his acting, even if he ends up saving the world instead of superman.

>>212791498 (OP)
Why does he wear like that?

>>212791929
Perfect bait.

Good actor

>>212791929
Heard he was gonna be the co-star of the Jimmy Olsen show.

>>212791929
Best trait is shutting down buffoonery around himself.
As soon as someone tried to clown it up he scoffed at it or audibly complained.

>>212791498 (OP)
Best scene in the entire movie. Lois's face was literally my face throughout the whole scene.

>>212791498 (OP)
people here like chud-coded negroes because they're sexually nonthreatening

they also liked the black robot from Raised by Wolves for the same thing (he was a literal eunuch with a female personality)

>>212792039
>Watching a shitty camrip
I forgot people do this.

>>212792039
Shut up you massive faggot

>>212792083
THIS. we should only thing about black men as virile bvlls with bbcs

>>212791498 (OP)
He was great.

>>212791498 (OP)
Isn't it redundant to put a black mask on black skin?

I liked him. The stoic autist schtick is a good change from the usual depictions of "black hacker" characters lately.

>>212791498 (OP)
Yes

>>212792039
Do adults seriously watch this?

...from this?

>>212792039
this is so cringe.

>>212791498 (OP)
character was great! Actor did not matter... could have been a gook, a jeet or even a woman, and played the same would have been awesome.

>>212791498 (OP)
a dismal failure . we know zero ziltch about this character. why does he have such a cringe code name? why does he paint his face black instead of wearing a proper mask? why the spheres called t-spheres?

>>212791498 (OP)
Literally the best portrayal of Mr. Terrific we've ever had.

>>212791524
>>212791498 (OP)
he reminds me of Blade where he's serious and stoic for most of it then randomly breaks out into blaxsploitation jive talk kek. kino

>>212791498 (OP)
Based Black Man

>>212792531
It was a very competent smart and good natured human. It did not have to be a nigger! The fact it was a nigger makes me less hatefull towards niggers. Gunn is very skilled.

>>212791498 (OP)
He was really good. Probably not gonna get his own movie but he'd be a great addition in the DCU movies that he appears in.

>>212792531
the spheres are terrific, like him

>>212792531
>why are Mister Terrific's spheres called T-Spheres
You're not very bright are you?

>>212792179
I didn't say that

we should have nuanced negros. that's all
both extremes are bad

>>212792039
>black character
>superpower is that he has balls
>sometimes he grabs his balls

really, dc?

>>212792531
It's a Superman movie, not a Mr. Terrific movie.

>>212792039
90% of the scene focuses on Louis's dumb face.
>Brilliant, 10/10

>>212792674
they are small basketballs.

>>212791498 (OP)
pretty good, respectable performance.
Hard not to love him after watching the Arrow bullshit.

>>212791498 (OP)
Hope he gets a series and they put Metamorpho in it and we get the more fun loving freak version

>>212793020
Making him into a lispy faggot was lame

>>212793025
I mean we've got 50% of the team here, and The Terrifics seem exactly like the kind of team Gunn would drool over. Guy and Hawk Girl's costumes look kind of on point for it as well.

>>212793282

Unironically it would be kino if they used bad AI gen for plastic man special effects.

>>212793020
>>212791498 (OP)
seems like the costume for this character works better with a narrow face

>>212792039
I hate capeshit so much it’s unreal.

>>212792039
You are basically definition of an pleb

>>212793536
You can stop samefagging now

>>212791498 (OP)
his hair should be more square

>>212794586
why

>>212791498 (OP)
I liked him. They could have done the pandering look how smart he is zomg!! but they didnt and he just seemed like a normal guy.

I really enjoyed him. Would like to see more of him.
Dude is 46 though, they better hurry

>>212791498 (OP)
Kino and sufficent zesty, i hope they put his spin-off on overdrive.

>>212791498 (OP)
It's funny how Hollywood still treats it like a twist in itself when a black guy intelligent. I know it's supposed to be propaganda and role models for blacks but it's just such a funny self-tell

>>212794723
>treats it like a twist
How was it remotely treated this way in the movie?

>>212794718
He didn't seem particularly zesty.

>>212793282
If F4 bombs this is 100% gonna get a movie.

>>212794698
it's fine black don't crack

>>212791498 (OP)
I think he did a really good job portraying the character. The costume looked good and the writing fit the character. If only the title character got the same treatment.

>>212794723
lmao...wut?

>>212794723
what the fuck are you even blabbering about

>>212791498 (OP)
He was absolute kino and the perfect antidote to quipslop. Every time someone was acting silly he just made them stop talking with the autist stare of condescension. His own jokes were classic, Wesley Snipes style wisecracks, I was surprised that Gunn was able to give a character humour beyond the "THAT just happened" shit.

>>212794723
You didn't watch the film. The twist wasn't that Mr Terrific was smart. The twist was that he was actually kind of an aloof asshole who knew how to fight.
The bad guys literally say "don't worry it's just the smart one."

He was cool.

>>212791953
he plays it just like the character in the comics

>>212791953
How exactly else are you supposed to play a stoic autist

>>212792039
I liked Mr Terrific but his action scene sucked. There is nothing exciting about balls flying around, and I guess they tried to make it as exciting as possible but all they really did was make a visual mess where you can't see any of the balls.

>>212798394

Gunn tried to recapture the guy from the GotG movie, I forget the name, with the red cyber mohawk, that guy. The way he was fighting with the whistling needle thingie. Same idea here except with the balls.
That's why Lois is going all "omg amazing" even though it's pretty mundane and she likely saw this guy fight on live broadcasts like hundreds of times.

>>212791498 (OP)
His voice was just RDJ in Tropic Thunder

>>212793002
This. I thought it ruined the scene. Her reaction was pointless and wouldn't make much sense for her to be wowed by this gay shit when not-New York gets attacked by space alien shit every other day

>>212791953
Cause that's exactly what the character is like, tourist

>>212798903
Not really no.

>>212798861
Yeah, I picked up on that right away.

>>212794723
Retard

>>212792039
Why did Gunn rip off himself?

>>212791498 (OP)
It felt like they really wanted Tim Meadows.

>>212795078
Excellently put, I loved how he put a hard stop to every "he's behind me isn't he"-esque moment
