Kinda reminds me of this guy, forced smile, tired, red eyes.
Laughing out loud at this thread! Too funny.
What a hateful, shitty post. Why does it matter? No one bats an eye at a male lead being 20 years older than his female love interest, and I'm assuming "she looks her age" is meant to be an insult to her looks, which is hysterical.
I didn't even see her hide the damn spear. Did they not show that part? What the fuck?
the editor should be taken out and beaten.
she looked nice in that bathtub, even though dude was all messy getting water all over the place.
she's older than him? She looks more like a Lana Lang than a Lois Lane tbfh. Terrible Lois.

Man I wish I had a gif of Vicnet from BoJack Horseman handy for this.
I got one for this though:
Pretty sure WB had her sign a long term contract of some kind after/before MoS. Not her fault BvS gave her shit to do.

Well yeah. I could be completely wrong and she is great, and the character is just poorly written. But Oscars and crap like it aren't the way to go to convince anyone.
You could be wrong? You are wrong.

It's a tough job but somebody gotta do it
I think she's an awful Lois, but through no fault of her own, she's an incredible talent that's been given some downright atrocious material to work with. I don't think it really matters who you put in that role at the minute when the material is that awful.

If Noah showed up at my door tomorrow and asked me to pick 1 man and 1 woman to save from the flood I would pick Amy Adams and Ice Cube.

The only problem is that this Lois Lane is written in such a boring and flat way.

Oh. Good point. You got me.
Yep. And It's not great that the reporter character-type is one that has been spoofed and made fun of for ages now. And her character falls right into those stereotypes and such that are always poked fun at.
I would pick Amy Adams and Scarlet Johannson.
He apparently left me to drown, so why not?
He did get you. He has more proof that she's a capable actress than you have that she's a bad actress. You lose.
This.

Remember the part where I said "maybe she is just written terribly?" No? All right then.
She doesn't look that old

Yeah I'm gonna have to pile on the sentiment of the other posters. I always imagined Lois Lane to be older than Clark even though I think that's coz Clark is meant to be a squeaky clean adonis looking type. Lois is an accomplished, experienced professional. She's not some 23 year old supermodel.
Also, these threads highlight the discrepancy in gender expectations, etc. we've pretty much covered the issues here.

She's got eyes of a 60 y/o.
Redheads...how do they work?
While redheads are my favorite breed of female, I did wonder why Lois was one in MoS.

Eisenberg was awesome as Luther and y'all can piss off!
Fixed.

Is Lois ever clarified to have a set age? I mean, Bale and Hathaway have roughly the same age difference and they played Batman and Catwoman who tend to be usually the same age. Clark is 35 or so come BVS and Lois is presumably around Adam' age of 41, which is six years difference. Amy Adams is gorgeous and a talented actress, it's like one hell of a reach here.

Okay this is too much.

Please fess up your trolling, OP. That would be somewhat comforting to know you were really trolling and are not just a shitty misogynist.

I don't know, that stinky pants thread backfired pretty fast and the OP just kept diggin'.

Oh man, I hope a mod ends up changing the thread title. Amy Adams is probably the strongest part of MoS/BvS. She's the absolute center of the franchise; the most believable thing on screen in any scene. And she's fighting an uphill battle making us believe that mopey, self-centered Superman is someone we should care about. That's what she's been doing as an actress, DESPITE her role (as written). Plus she's super hot.
Imagine her in the role if it was in Richard Donner's original Superman opposite Reeves - Margot Kidder was awesome as Lois, but Amy Adams would have murdered that version as well.

It's just one of the things that happens when a thread backfires. Either the OP digs a hilarious hole or just resorts to trolling. But rarely if ever actually admitting to being wrong. Personally I think threads should be closed as soon as the OP clearly shows no interest in engaging in discussion at all with their own topic and resorts to trolling.
