10 Examples of Actors in Fanboy films who should have NEVER donned the cape!!...Part One!

Ok, here we go....Fanboy rant time! These are 10 of the absosmurfly  WORST choices for stars in Fanboy movies that  is some ways have even ruined the franchise....shall we begin?


Number Ten: 
The entire cast  of M. Knight Shamalamadingdong's The Last  Airbender...


I have NEVER walked out of a movie, and I  saw Tales in the Hood and Cool as Ice at the theatre. And I  nearly  walked out of the piece of crap. Fanboys and Fangirls were interviewed right after  seeing the flick, and no, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE had anything good to  say  about the movie. Honestly  M. Knight, did you  even see the show? it was freakin' awesum!! The actors in the live action film were definitely lacking both in appearance and character development as well! The only 
one who  was even halfway descent  was the actress who  played Katara. Everyone  else was just  so dry,  lifeless and nothing like the characters in the Nickelodeon Animated Series. Plus the dude who plays Zuko, he looks like he tried to  perm his hair and left  it in too  long on one side! The bloke who played Sokka (by the way M. Knight, it is pronounced sahka NOT  soaka!!!....you dig dong) was not funny/goofy  at  all, and Aang was just  pathetic, you  don't feel at all  for this kid and what  he had been through. Now the special effects we ok, but  guess what,  you  can put  a turd in a fancy  box with bows, and ribbons, and shiny wrapping paper....but it is still, just a turd!  This movie stunk on ice!


And on top of all  that, this movie was either nominated or won Golden Raspberry  awards for:...

Worst PictureWonM. Night Shyamalan
Frank Marshall
Kathleen Kennedy
Sam Mercer
Worst DirectorWonM. Night Shyamalan
Worst Supporting ActorNominatedDev Patel
WonJackson Rathbone
Worst Supporting ActressNominatedNicola Peltz
Worst ScreenplayWonM. Night Shyamalan
Worst Screen Couple/EnsembleNominatedThe Entire Cast
Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or SequelNominated
Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3DWon
So no, it is not just  me who thought this movie was horrible!


Number Nine:
Christopher Eccleston as Destro from G.I. Joe the Rise of COBRA.
Yeah, I  know what you  are thinking, "Now just a knowing is half the battle-minute there Fanboy, what  about  Marlon Wayans?"... I  will get to that, but again did the morons in charge of casting even watch the cartoon??? I  mean crikey, look  at the character of Destro...just  look  at the dude!!  He looks bold, formidable; and ultimate badass...and if you  ever heard him talk....




Then they give us this guy....

are you  serious?

I  mean at  least  if his voice was intimidating, that  might make  up  a little for the poor casting...but  its not... 
I  would have rather seen Tay Zonday (Chocolate Rain) as Destsro, at  least  HE has the voice for it!!

Okay now, about Marlon Wayans.....
He did actually get  in great  shape for the film, and actually  did take it seriously (at  least as seriously  as Marlon Wayans CAN take it) ....honestly, I am just  glad that  we didn't hear him do that girlish scream that  he likes to do  in  most  of  his movies.


Number Eight:
Shaquille O'Neal in STEEL.....

Dr John Henry Irons was a brilliant weapons designer for AmerTek Industries.  He fell off a skyscraper while trying to  save a friend from the same fate. his own life was saved by  SUPERMAN. When Irons asked how  he could show his gratitude to the Man of Steel, Superman told him to "live a life worth saving." Durring Superman's final battle against DOOMSDAY. Irons attempted to  help Superman fight the deadly  menace by  picking up a sledge hammer but got buried in the rubble amidst the devastation. Shortly after Superman's death, he finally awoke and crawled from the wreckage, confused and saying that he "must  stop Doomsday."

Irons created and donned a suit of powered Armour (similar  to  Marvel's Iron Man) in Superman's memory.

and you  cast Shaq?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight......

Why not team Shaq up  with his former Blue Chips co-star Nick Nolte and make a Power Man and Iron Fist  movie!?

"Goddamitt Luke Cage, I  told you  I  cant  use the Iron Fist while holding a Pabst!....aww hell!"



Number Seven: 
Daredevil, with Ben Afflec

Ok, let's face it, Daredevil is Marvel's Batman. 


Matt Murdock, stuck blind as a child by  a radioactive isotope which superhightens all  his other senses. (there is a theory that  he CAN actually  still see, but like all  his other senses are heightened, so is his sight, but too much  and his brain cant  process all that  information.(Kinda like Geordi La Forges visor.) He trains for years, learning how to  take full advantage of his heightened senses. As well and developing a  kinda of radar and being trained by another blind man Named Stick, one of the greatest   martial artists in the Marvel Universe. 

 And you  cast  Ben "hum drum" Afflec?  You  see what  drugs do to your brain kids?  As I  have said before, Ben Afflec with make a great Blue Beetle or Booster Gold.  But NOT  Daredevil!!! 

And I  am sorry, his outfit looks like he is headed to  a gay  dance club instead of fighting crime. Not since Michael Keaton as Batman has there been such a bad choice in casting! Oh yes, I  will  be getting to  Michael Keaton soon enough!

to  be continued.....
