Kristen Wigg is a terrible choice for Cheetah


There are lots of talented and attaractive actresses who could play the role yet the cast somebody that looks anorexic and like she smokes and tans too much
This is How Cheetah should look

Then again I'm not a fan of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman or Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntresss

Why do Comic Book movies cast underweight women as Superheroes?

reply

Lemme guess, you wish Kat Dennings played Cheetah?

reply

She d be better or somebody that can look hot dressed as a cheetah instead of wigg

reply

You think Wiig isn't talented enough to play a villain? If Elizabeth Banks can do it, it's a shoe-in for her.

reply

Not really and too ugly too. Banks not bad

reply

kat would be awesome!

reply

Ikr Kat as Cheetah grrrr

reply

Now that you mention it..........

reply

If ScarJo can't play a Japanese character, then why another white woman could play Cheetah? They should've cast a real cheetah. Hollywood is racist againts cheetahs.

reply

I would pay to see a human - cheetah hybrid play the cheetah

reply

I thought Gadot would be too skinny to play Wonder Woman, but she put on like 5 pounds of muscle (and was still skinny) and completely nailed the character. You don't need bulging biceps to be strong when you've got super strength. Plus she was a hand-to-hand combat instructor in the army, and it shows in the fight scenes.

reply

She still is skinny

reply

She still is HOT! :D

reply

Agreed. Not to mention she was pregnant during the re-shoots, many of which made it into the film.

reply

YOU SEEM TO WANT ALL THE MOVIES TO CAST SILICONE PORN STARS IN ALL THE FEMALE ROLES.

reply

I want athletic women with curves thats not asking much

reply

YOU WANT WOMEN YOU DEEM "SEXY ENOUGH"...

reply

Curvy and athletic like the way the characters are drawn

reply

BIG TITTED , BASICALLY UNDRESSED AND COMPLETELY OVER SEXUALIZED....UGH.

reply

I mean men are drawn with six pack abs does that mean they are sexualized too? in these movies I hold women to the same standard as men

reply

SEX WORKERS WITH SUPER POWERS..I GET IT.

reply

Athletic woman with curves are not sex workers. Only closeted man would think that they are sex workers

reply

WHATEVER YOU SAY CHIEF...EMJOY YOUR DREAMS OF MARVEL BAYWATCH.

reply

Thats how they should look as per the comics,but closeted men you dislike it

reply

WTF DOES CLOSETED MAN MEAN ANYWAY....IM A MARRIED FATHER WHO LOVES NAKED LADIES,I JUST DONT NEED ALL MY MOVIES FILLED WITH SEXY STRIPPERS PRETENDING TO BE SOMETHING ELSE.

reply

Do your love ones know about your secret

reply

Really mature nexus.

Gal was a perfect choice for Wonder Woman, and I can assure you if she had been bulkier she would have been called "too masculine" or if she was curvier it would be an "unrealistic action hero". People are never happy, even when presented with a gift as glorious as Gadot.

reply

She already looks like a feminine man.
You watch mma or WWE? Those women work out and most are hot. Only gay men would call a athetic woman with curves. Gina Carano ain't masculine. Trish Stratus ain't mainly. Mandy Rose who looks like Margot Robbie isn't masculine

reply

What's your beef with gay men? They watch movies too. Are you saying that Wonder Woman should only appeal to straight males? What about the type of female action heroes WOMEN want to see? Does that matter?

Your whole argument seems based on what YOU find attractive, which is cool and all, but it doesn't build an air-tight argument for Gadot being miscast in the role.

reply

Nothing against as long as they aren't spreading face info

My arguments vaild gal is a shit actress and doesn't look athetic therefore miscast

reply

Well I disagree, but that's not to say I'm right even if most people agree Gadot nailed the role. It's kind of odd that you say Gal looks like a feminine man, I don't get any masculine vibes from her at all. She seems all woman to me.

Again though, this is all a matter of taste. Guess you won't be watching the sequel but I can't wait, which is something I rarely say with superhero movies.

reply

Well most people are morons not familiar so they are wrong.
She looks like a stick there fore
Feminine man

reply

Yes, so butch...

Oh well, it was Gal looking sexy, strong and very feminine - just like she did in the movie.

Well at least we've established that you can post a link, you're one up on me!

I appreciate you didn't like Gadot as WW, but it's kind of a moot point now isn't it? Whether you like her acting or think she has the appropriate body shape, she's still the first actor to bring the character to the big screen and has won many fans along the way. That's legacy, man.

reply

Its never to call injustices out

reply

Just out of interest, what are your thoughts on Megan Gale? She was cast as Wonder Woman in George Miller's scrapped Justice League project (you might also remember her from her small role in Mad Max Fury Road). I was excited about seeing her in the role because I thought physically she seemed perfect.

Let's see if this link works:

reply

Seems like a better choice than Gal

reply

I gotta stop you there. Sex workers with super powers would probably be pretty entertaining if it's done by the Asylum for the Sci Fi channel. This could work. Not as much as Sharknado, but probably as much as lavalanchula.

reply

You've never heard about the guy the who created Wonder Woman have you?

reply

SURE I HAVE...WHAT DO SOME GUYS OUTDATED IDEALS FROM 70 YEARS AGO HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?🤔

reply

Is your caps broken? Gee what does the guy who created the character have to do with anything? I wonder dumdum

reply

YOU ARE RIGHT!...THE CHARACTER SHOULD STAY EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IT WAS CREATED...DOESNT MATTER HOW SOCIETY MAY HAVE CHANGED OR PROGRESSED OR WHAT OUTDATED VALUES THE CREATION REPRESENTS...KEEP IT THE SAME...CAUSE HORNY MANBOYS WILL BE HAPPY.🤨

reply

Right let's change other established characters too just cause

Let's make Robin Hood Islamic, James Bond a woman, King Arthur gay and black, the Hobbits can be turned into Goblins cause who the fuck cares how Tolkien wrote them.

You obviously don't know shit about the comics character so go fix your caps and fuck off

reply

ARE YOU ACTUALLY A CHILD?...YOU MISS THE POINT ENTIRELY...THEN YOU SCREAM A BUNCH OF BIZARRE SCENARIOS THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY FEAR...WONDER WOMAN IS MORE THAN A "HOT CHICK WITH KILLER CURVES"...MAYBE ONE DAY YOU WILL ACTUALLY SPEAK TO A WOMAN...MIGHT HELP CLEAR UP SOME CONFUSION YOU SEEM TO HAVE.🙂

reply

LOL sure bud. Maybe I'll just do you like you and SCREAM AT THEM INSTEAD...You may go, we're done here

reply

YOURE AWFUL JUDGEMENTAL AND BITCHY FOR SOMEONE WITH A HANDLE AS COOL AS RANDALLGRAVES....EVEN IF IT SPELLED WRONG.🤔

reply

Gadot is more than "sexy enough" - she is supper hot.

So you fail ... AGAIN.

reply

YUP...YOU GOT IT...GAL IS A SEXY BLOCK OF WOOD...THE PERFECT CASTING IF YOU LIKE BOOBS AND BUTTS BUT NOT PERSONALITY OR CHARISMA.

reply

Interesting choice of words.

Gal is hot although she has a major lack in the curves department (boobs and buts). So maybe you've seen a different movie ;)

reply

I'd ignore him. Kowalski is just a giant douchebag that clutters up the forums without bringing anything interesting to the table. What's worse, is he feels it necessary to fucking comment on everything, so you can hardly escape his worthless opinion on moviechat. It's why he has 13k posts despite being a relatively newer account. The dipshit needs a life, but based on the stupid shit that he says, I can't say I'm surprised he doesn't have one.

reply

She has a lot of potential tough and one of the best of snl. I say give her a shot

reply

Shes curvless and has a man' s face

reply

'One of the best on SNL' isn't saying much.

reply

I agree she worst of any bunch they could have chose, they could have had someone younger, more athletic or fierce look, but have to see how cheetah looks because it could all be CGI.

An actor/actress should either look the part or have the acting chops to make the part (Michael Keaton brought the acting to batman that makes him my first choice batman and little physique Robert Patrick was more menacing then Arnold in terminator 2) - so i can wait and i did with Gal Gadot but it was a shame Gal didn't show either and wasn't a good choice for wonder woman.

reply

Who knew how right you'd be?!

reply

Thanks for the bump

reply

It's given this post a lot of traction!

reply

Kristen Wigg is a terrible choice for everything she is in. Neither pretty nor funny.

reply

nope, she is both pretty and funny

reply

Yeah, I am sure there are even people out there attracted by the grace of Angela Merkel...
