I'd rather Michael B Jordan be his own superhero instead of shoehorning him into a role that doesn't fit him in any sense.

I think he has the range to play him... But even in terms of type of actor (not even factoring race) I think there are better choices even if they aren't necessarily better actors.

how does this role not fit him?

Why is it that Movies have to strictly stick to "source material" instead of just adding on to the lore/universe of a superhero(s) like other coming books? whats the difference between a movie and a comic book pertaining to superhero lore? Why in comic books do creators have free range to create a new universe with an already established superhero and do what they please?

My view of Johnny Storm is that he's one of those celebrities who basks in the limelight, grabs an attractive female or two, and tries to show off when there's people around to watch. There is a playful and a serious side to him, but the qualities that he displays most are in that first sentence. The closest I've seen MBJ play in that type of role was in Chronicle, but even there he wasn't an arrogant dude the way Johnny is a lot of times. I can see dude play the playful and serious side, but those main characteristics.... Like I said, a few actors I think could portray it better

I did watch it

He's still going to be refereed to as wallace no matter what his name ain't Michael b Jordan. It's wallace

Wallace did a damn good job playing Oscar Grant

Wallace gonna be the Hunan torch

nikkas name is wallace

You're sounding a lot like one of those cacs that think blacks are only good at one type of portrayal: hood characters.
MBJ put a lot of effort in playing his other movie parts, but you refuse to acknowledge that.
:ufdup:

You choose to call him Wallace forever but don't forget that racist cacs probably do the same, all because they don't think he's ever gonna be as good at anything else other than the hood kid that got smoked for fukking around with them fukks around.

The better question is, why don't these movie studios just make original characters in completely new movies if they're gonna alter from the source material.

Go make Hancock or some other shyt.

People become fans of the source material because of.....
the source material. Imagine that shyt

Studios these day's are too scared of anything original, they pour millions of dollars into making these movies and need large returns to break even, as such they need something they feel is guaranteed to sell. Thus virtually everything from a major studio these days is a reboot or adaptation.

They'll fukk around with the source material all they like, as long as the product has a well known name slapped on it, it's guaranteed to sell, right? :sas2:
