I think she makes it work. Her role is overused, maybe, but she makes a good Lane with what she is given.

 

[Sou Da]

Clark has a huge Oedipus complex and she reminds him of MARTHA

 

[El Topo]

What kind of bullshit thread is this? They're not even ten years apart. You're just doing this to get a tag, right?

 

[ShamePain]

Care to explain why an older woman dating a younger man is a problem? Because that's more or less the entire crux of your complaint here. I have issues with Adams as Lois, but her looks and age are not part of that in the slightest.

She's got eyes of a 60 y/o.

 

[Speevy]

This is a brave thread.

Hollywood needs more movies where the men get to be older but the women don't get to be over 27, maybe 26.

Hopefully firing Adams will start a trend.

 

[Ahasverus]

stahp

 

[Triggerhappytel]

It's not a problem to play in your 40s, just not with a male lead that looks much younger and having a romantic plot line.

I'm pretty sure you're taking the piss now. Or you're hungry for a dumb tagine.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

What's the problem with Amy? She looks great, thread is straight up blasphemous

 

[SturokBGD]

She's got eyes of a 60 y/o.

Come on man. Way too obvious.

 

[Jonm1010]

Come on OP, would you say no? Supes either. Not that hard to get.

 

[Aiustis]

I always thought Lois was older than Clark. And the actors look the same age to me.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I'm more annoyed by the red hair.

 

[The Artisan]

I thought Eisenberg was really good as Luthor?

I don't...In fact I would go so far as saying he was the worst part of the fucking movie.

 

[z3phon]

She's got eyes of a 60 y/o.

No she doesn't.
Here you go OP

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Scarjo is 31 and turns 32 later this year.

Lol I love how that was the detail that threw you off about that quote.

 

[entremet]

Without dog piling on the OP, this is the fault of Hollywood for forever discarding 35 year old plus actresses from mainstream films.

He's just reminding us how pervasive it is and when it's thankfully ignored how strange it may appear to some people.

 

[SmackAttack]

She's fine in every sense of the word. Cavill hardly even looks that much younger than her anyway. You trippin' bruh.

Seems more realistic to me since she's supposed to be an internationally renowned and Pulitzer-winning journalist.

This too.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Clark has a huge Oedipus complex and she reminds him of MARTHA

In the next film there will be a love triangle as Bruce takes an interest in her too.

 

[Ravek]

I mean she's like 10 years older than Cavill, and she looks her age, takes me out every time because she looks so much older than him. Seems like bad casting, not that it matter much with a shitty script, but still.

Amy Adams is no where near the problem with MoS or BvS. She is given shit scripts/direction and makes due with it. Her age is irrelevant and you complaining that it took you out of the movie is extraordinary to me. Out of all the things weird/eccentric/wrong with those two movies, her age paired next to Cavill's broke the submersion? Incredible.

 

[GitarooMan]

Yeah given all the movies with men in their 40s and 50s and women in their 20s and 30s I don't think this is even remotely an issue.

 

[Speevy]

I don't...In fact I would go so far as saying he was the worst part of the fucking movie.

He's like that thing that Looney Tunes characters do when someone has annoyed them so much that they're now crazy.

 

[blame space]

[minor effort]

I'm sure a lot of people with this attitude also go "oh, why haven't I seen such-and-such actress in awhile? She was so good in that one movie."

 

[TheFuzz]

All the crap about Snyder's comic movies and we are complaining about Adams as Lois Lane?

 

[echoshifting]

She's got eyes of a 60 y/o.

Give me a fucking break. This shit is unacceptable.

 

[exmachina64]

Who cares? Jeremy Renner is like 60 while ScarJo is 30. Robert Downy is older than Gwenyth also.

Damn, the ageism is strong in this thread: Jeremy Renner is 45.

 

[entremet]

She's got eyes of a 60 y/o.

Wut. She's drop dead gorgeous in this picture.

 

[Speevy]

Amy Adams is a goddess. I love her in everything.

 

[QuantumZebra]

What the hell kind of thread is this?

.

0/10 OP

 

[Empty]

i thought this thread would be wondering why an actor of her skill is slumming it in these films

 

[Bartholomuse]

I'm sure a lot of people with this attitude also go "oh, why haven't I seen such-and-such actress in awhile? She was so good in that one movie."

that girl from Winters Bone was soooooooooooo gud, wher she go? She could have been yuge. Such a shame.

 

[Pau]

Having Lois look older than Clark would be pretty accurate considering that sometimes Clark ages at slower rate than humans.

But seriously, Amy Adams is fine in the role. I don't see why you need a younger looking woman in the role.

 

[Ravek]

If only.

 

[M.Bluth]

I mean she's like 10 years older than Cavill, and she looks her age, takes me out every time because she looks so much older than him. Seems like bad casting, not that it matter much with a shitty script, but still.

the fuck's this shit?
Out of all the problems in those movies, casting Amy Adams isn't one of them.

This is ageism, son. Amy looks gorgeous. Hell, Snyder's Supes is lucky he can land her considering how mopy and charmless he is.

 

[Tesseract]

amy adams is a gem, how dare you

 

[Magwik]

This is a bad thread and you should feel bad

 

[Jedi2016]

Some of us are a little older than 17 and we think Adams is a perfectly attractive woman.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

can we change the conversation into that?

 

[Speevy]

who is this meryl streep woman SHE'S SO OLD!!!!

 

[Jawmuncher]

I thought Eisenberg was really good as Luthor?

Depends on what people wanted out of Lex. Personally I thought he was great. But more people wanted the typical lex from the comics so they weren't very happy.

 

[entremet]

can we change the conversation into that?

It's not a interesting discussion--money.

Nothing wrong with that. It's a job after all.

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

It's not a problem to play in your 40s, just not with a male lead that looks much younger and having a romantic plot line.

Why is that a problem at all? Why can't an older woman have a romantic plot line with a younger man?

 

[Snaku]

Hey guys, let's bitch about every single thing we possibly can about MoS/BvS no matter how ridiculous.

 

[Speevy]

can we change the conversation into that?

My guess is that she owed someone at the studio a favor.

Sarcasm yes?

 

[exmachina64]

She's got eyes of a 60 y/o.

How old are you?

who is this meryl streep woman SHE'S SO OLD!!!!

The eyes of an immortal.

 

[inky]

OP you're crazy, there's nothing wrong with Amy Adams.

The real Fatman.

 

[Speevy]

Sarcasm yes?

Everything I say is serious.

How the fuck are LexCorp and Wayne Enterprises structured?! What do they even DO?!

How does Batman find time to be chairman and CEO?
