Amy Adams Salty About Her Lois Lane Role

inverse.com/article/23801-amy-adams-lois-lane

Please tell me they're going to replace this washed-up hag in future movies. Her and Cavill trying to act as lovers is already forced enough as it is.

What was her role? Dog whistle for superman?

Shes nowhere near bitchy/sassy enough anyway

Gee it's almost like Lois Lane isn't a member of the Justice League

You could've fooled me with how much shit unnecessarily hinges on her.

To be fair, that article claims that she was promised a larger role in future movies when she took the first role. If that's the case then she did get screwed by the studio. I haven't seen the movies so I can't comment on her acting.

I actually like her not being a bitch (for the most part - there's a couple of moments where she says bitchy things out of the blue and it's super jarring, especially since Amy Adams couldn't sell bitchy to save her life) but she's almost a decade Cavill's senior, has zero chemistry with him and the way they write her, Superman is basically a pussy who can't live without her existing, like all the worst portrayals of Superman.

Also, bitchy Lois Lane only kind of works when the actress playing her is super-hot. A middle-aged mommy ain't gonna cut it.

> her acting
Amy Adams is too good for cape shit

I think it was because when the first was being made it was gonna be a superman trilogy but things changed so now she is getting shafted.

recast lois lane and batman
done

Somebody give this woman some water already

>A middle-aged mommy ain't gonna cut it.

Well then why did Snyder cast someone like that to begin with? Bitchy Lois is better than this boring as fuck Lois.

>I haven't seen the movies so I can't comment on her acting.

Amy Adams is one of the best actresses there is right now.

This. Last year she was the lead in Arrival and Nocturnal animals, and got completely snubbed in favor of some nigger they added at the last minute.

>comic lois lane - thin, assertive, black hair, sexy
>movie lois lane - pudgy, helpless, brunette, dowdy

Good. That was Lois's worst trait.

Shit taste

>this washed-up hag in future movies
Nocturnal Animals was the best movie of last year. While I agree she's not a good Lois and her romance with Cavill is forced, thats once again a piss poor decision made directly from Hack Snyder. It's not really her fault.

Because Snyder is an idiot?

I honestly figured it was because of Iron Man casting Gwyneth Paltrow as forty to fifty something Pepper Potts. You can almost see WB execs' retarded logic in that.

>Nocturnal Animals was the best movie of last year
My man. I hadn't seen Jake Gyllenhall in a lot of movies, but he gave an absolutely fantastic performance. All around amazing film.

>Both DC and Marvel have a poor history when it comes to the heroes’ onscreen girlfriends. Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster, who appeared in the first two Thor films, hasn’t made an appearance in any of the other films and, for all intents and purposes, Portman said she’s “done” with the franchise. It’s not because she was upset at her portrayal, but because Marvel didn’t know what to do with her. They said because Thor: Ragnarok took place in space, Jane Foster wouldn’t fit. After all, since when have humans ever been in space in the MCU?
Jane's a useless cunt scientist who adds nothing and brings the baggage of Marcy. Portman wanted out and no one was sad to see her go.
>The same thing happened to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts. Paltrow said multiple times she’d love to return as Pepper in Captain America: Civil War or other Marvel films, but the studio never brought her back. There are hopes she could return for Infinity War, but the likelihood is pretty dim. Still, Paltrow hasn’t given up hope that Marvel could revive her character.
TO DO FUCKING WHAT? She's gone from personal assistant to running the business overnight. What the fuck is she going to do when shit is going down? Avengers got it right with her looking out the window of the plane and fuck all else for her to do. Homecoming was also an appropriate appearance for her. She doesn't need to be involved with chasing down Thanos as he's collecting the gems.
>“My fingers are crossed. I’d love to be Pepper Potts again at some point in my life,” Paltrow said back in 2015.
Which was Homecoming and probably a cameo in Infinity War.

>future movies
hahah

>Nocturnal Animals
She was good in Nocturnal Animals, but The Arrival was all her carrying that movie.

I'm not clicking that. Why is she bitching about making millions of dollars for cushy work?

>that moment where he found them
Even though it was fictional, it still broke my heart.

Arrival was a lame movie.

Same issue with Felicity in Arrow, season 1 she was at her best and season 2 she was fine helping out. But then they start putting her everywhere because she was huge with the tumbler crowd. Having her anywhere near missions is just awful.

Nailed it right on the head, what the fuck are these women supposed to do in fight scenes and shit? This bitch is lucky that she was in Justice League at all they turned her down like 3 times before they finally caved in and hired her sorry ass. In JL they even made it so that she's the reason revived Supes calms down and doesn't murder everyone. For fucks sake women are just now realizing they're kept around just for their tits?

I'd be salty if I was her. She had a somewhat big part in Man of Steel with even a bit of action, and was promised her role would expand in future films. Instead she gets three minutes of screen time in Justice League and is reduced to a screaming damsel no less than four times in BVS.

I don't get why they grab big actresses to play these roles desu. The superhero love interest. They always end up (sometimes rightfully) considering the role a waste of their talent and wanting out. Adams, Paltrow, Portman, Dunst... just get some no-name pretty face who will be happy to get consistent work.

what are they doing with her now? i gave up on Arrow permanently last season

She's probably a better actor then any of the actual Justice Leagers except Affleck. Sucks she signed up to be such a shitty franchise, probably hurts her career at being a serious actress.

Potts actually killed 2/3 of the main villains of the Iron Man movies on top of running Tony's corporation. And she saved Tony's life a few times too.

Eh, it was alright for a first-contact movie.

She's always been a problem, her and Ma Kent should have been combined from day one

She looks old. Legitimately, she looks far too old. At this point casting her as a love interest is about as reasonable as casting a 140lbs man as Superman. Appearance matters for roles, sorry if that rubs women (and thin men) the wrong way.

Lois shouldn't be sassy, but she SHOULD be sassy and snarky, and Adams hasn't been either of those. I love her to death but she's not really a good Lois and it's not helped at ALL by the DCEU's scripts or Snyder's direction.

She threw a power switch when told in 1 and had Extremis injected in her in 3 (which everyone agrees was just shit writing there,) After which Extremis was taken out of her system making her regular girl again.

Lois shouldn't be bitchy, but she SHOULD be sassy and snarky, and Adams hasn't been either of those. I love her to death but she's not really a good Lois and it's not helped at ALL by the DCEU's scripts or Snyder's direction.

>Sup Forums bitches and whines about Jimmy Olsen being killed because he's so "essential"
>Yet complains about Lois Lane doing anything beyond being eye candy because it's "filler" and she's "useless"

Explain Gal Gadot being cast as Wonder Woman

>Adams, Paltrow, Portman, Dunst
ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER ONES...

Chemistry with Affleck, Snyder approved her and he lacks the ability to think more than one scene ahead.

She should be. Its 2017

Jews.

Of course, of course, they're just waiting to make Harley part of the League first.

why do white women age so poorly? is it because they spend so much time in the sun?

>>Yet complains about Lois Lane doing anything beyond being eye candy because it's "filler" and she's "useless"

Are you retarded? That's largely what she's been. And even if she is doing stuff, doesn't mean she should be so flat.

Jimmy Olsen being so casually killed off was Snyder basically giving a big, fat "FUCK YOU" to the fans of Superman mythos.

Also, Lois Lane has her place. Fighting supervillains isn't it. Trying to shove her in just hurts the movie even more.

Amy Adams is legitimately an amazing actress who is way too good for these shitty movies, although almost everyone is. She should be doing Oscar bait things Meryl Streep style or at least in fun and creative projects. She's wasted here. "Who gives a shit" superhero love interests are for underwear models and other literally whos that no one will remember in six months. Sorry. They're thankless junk roles which is why most of the audience usually hates them. They're good for a burst of porn though even the FotW is much more likely to be some minor character or villainess than the love interest.

Only in Justice League. She's got agency and her own stuff to do in BvS and MoS beyond merely being Clark's girlfriend.

All women except asians age poorly, well except for black girls since they're hideous since young.

Explain how any aspect of Gadot changes the fact that Adams is really fucking old looking. She looks busted and way too old for the role.

> don't get why they grab big actresses to play these roles desu. The superhero love interest.

Remember when they got fucking Rachel McAdams to play Dr. Strange's love interest?

She's Rachel McAdams, she could play an actual goddamn superhero. She managed to escape True Detective S2 with her dignity intact, somehow, and she's still relegated to "doctor girlfriend lady."

>Jimmy Olsen being so casually killed off was Snyder basically giving a big, fat "FUCK YOU" to the fans of Superman mythos.

I love how much it triggers people. Nobody gives a fuck about Jimmy Olsen.

The worst part is that she probably won't even appear in the sequel since her relationship with Stephen was done by the end of the movie. And also Clea.

Night Nurse is a real comic character, man

There's different levels. Hispanic and abbo women become literal goblins in their 30s. It's disgusting. White women have an okay chance of not being repulsive by the time they hit 40, but they've still taken a lot of damage. Asians drop like a rock at about 50, but by then it's like who really cares.

Moreso than Clark has in those movies, so I don't even see why she's complaining.

>She should be doing Oscar bait things Meryl Streep style or at least in fun and creative projects.

In the past five years she's done
>On the Road
>The Master
>Big Eyes
>Arrival
>Nocturnal Animals

And her next project is Dick Cheney biopic with Christian "I eat pies" Bale. She's been doing fairly interesting movies outside of capeshit.

>Why is she bitching about making millions of dollars for cushy work?
If somebody like ScarJo is only getting paid $200k per Black Widow appearance, I doubt she's getting millions to be Lois Lane.

>White women have an okay chance of not being repulsive by the time they hit 40
*Disclaimer this does not apply to Americans

They have more luck casting real actresses as actual characters with personalities instead of random cardboard girlfriend. Cate Blanchett and Marissa Tomei are older (48 and 52) than Adams in Thor and Spiderman but worked better because they weren't just placeholders.

She's also doing that Gillian Flynn HBO adaptation.

Largely because of british heritage in the US. There is no uglier group of whites on earth than the brits. Other than that the other whites of various euro nation descent in the US are pretty normal in terms of odds.

>getting autistic about hot grits
>2007+10

I can agree with this. Bongs are fucking hideous.

Shut up, Kirsten.

>She's got agency and her own stuff to do in BvS and MoS beyond merely being Clark's girlfriend.

In MOS sure, but not in fucking BvS. All she did was keep herself busy. She was useless still.

>US
>white

Jimmy Olsen helps to further ground Superman to humanity. It's important to have that with a powerful character, Snyder. You can't just have his strength be what defines him.

>All she did was keep herself busy

She was investigating the conspiracy related to the African Warlord incident that was used to turn the public opinion on Superman, which foreshadowed Luthor's wide ranging plot and how influential Lex was, he used the government itself to shield himself from investigations to his shady and illegal dealings.

>further ground Superman to humanity.

The only time that remotely happens is in Superman Returns, when Jimmy and Clark catch up, and it's still more of a story telling device to info dump how Lois is now married and with a kid than them bonding, rather than to show how connected to humanity Clark is. Even in the 90s Lois and Clark TV show Jimmy is largely superfluous character who's a background loser character for laughs, trying to hook up with Cat Grant, rather than being a bff with Clark/Superman.

>Moreso than Clark has in those movies, so I don't even see why she's complaining.

That's actually true, as sad as it is. In Man of Steel, she got to investigate Clark's secret heritage, was arrested for it, was let in by Jor-El on the plan to stop Zod, being taken aboard the military ship to bomb the Black Zero with Clark's baby ship and being basically the only fucking thing Superman cares about in the movie besides his mom. Actually, even Martha probably takes second place in these movies to Lois, which is super-fucked up. In Batman v. Superman, she got an entire investigation subplot, stopped Batman from killing Superman, figured out that they need to get the kryptonite spear to kill Doomsday, confronted Lex, etc. And in JL, she's the only reason why Superman stops short of murdering the entire Justice League. Now granted, she's artificially forced into all those roles even when it makes no sense (seriously, she could've been cut out of Man of Steel entirely and her plot beats given to Clark. Would make it a whole lot better and less bloated) but it's still something to do.

Superman either punches shit, get his ass kicked or mopes around. He's a fucking plot device, not a character.

>she's artificially forced into all those roles even when it makes no sense

And again we get back to the "Lois should do nothing but look pretty" mentality.

Is it possible to have women in movies without complaint now?

It seems like every movie with females in it has some diva shit happening now.

It'd be nice if women characters would do other stuff beyond being merely the token girlfriend.

So if I'm understanding this thread correctly, whether you are a Marvel or a DC fan boy, girls scare you?

She should have roles where it a) fucking makes sense and b) actually contributes to the plot in a meaningful manner.

For example, not getting taken by Faora aboard Zod's ship because plot hole and because we paid for Amy Adams and by God we're going to make the most of that investment, and having her investigation subplot in Batman v. Superman actually make a meaningful contribution to the bigger story instead of just being there.

Now please get the fuck outta here with this "you stoopid muh soggy knee poopyheads hate Lois Lane" garbage. Go back to Tumblr if this shit triggers you so much.

I loved Adams ever since "Enchanted". I do, however, think she was miscast. Adams has a very midwestern appeal to her. From the way she talks, the way she carries herself, everything about her screams midtown America.

That's not Lois.Lois is New York. She's an East Coast go-getter, bigger than life and twice as stubborn. She's not mean, she's just too singleminded in her persuit of truth and justice to care about being polite to people. Eventhough she's almost as compassionate and caring as Clark. And it's that contradiction, that makes her the perfect partner for Kansas Clark, polite and humble but just as caring.

Lois is an army brat, with an overbearing general as a father, so of course she grew up with a strong personality. That doesn't make her a cliché New Yorker.

But that's wrong, Scarjo is one of the best paid in the MCU. In the Avengers, she had the second highest salary after RDJ.

The article is a year old, and she doesn't say anything whiny.

Fuck this thread.

SHE'S THE KEY !!!!!!!!!!

>Lois Lane
>redhead

Adams was plenty bitchy in American Hustle

Okay, so who’s going to be the next Lois?

-Jamie Alexander
-Mary Elizabeth Winstead
-Alexandra Daddario
-Carly Foulkes
-Jessica De Gouw
-Zooey Deschanel
-Anne Hathaway
-Emily Blunt

I'd personally prefer if they switched out Lois for someone else. Superman doesn't always have to end up with Lane.

Buuut, if we have to stick with Lois, I'd prefer they'd keep her a redhead, so that chick from Gotham who played the busty version of Poison Ivy, Maggie Geha or something, would be a decent choice.

Also bitchy in The Fighter

>Jamie Alexander

Jamie's a has been.

I can't love bitchy women
What did she say? I would be upset too, she has basically no reason to exist in those movies. someone is shoehorning her in so all her stuff comes off as stupid.

What about the decades of comics where Jimmy is Superman's best friend?

>fter all, since when have humans ever been in space in the MCU?
Is that passive aggressive bitchiness or has this person not seen guardians of the galaxy?

>Superman is basically a pussy who can't live without her existing, like all the worst portrayals of Superman.

Superman falling in love with a human woman and her being his main connection to humanity in his adult life is integral to his character. It's kind of like saying you wish the Phantom of the Opera wasn't so hung up on that Christine bitch.

The writer sounds salty. Amy Adams sounds normal

Why did they remove the extremis anyway? It seemed like she got superpowers with no downside.

Thats not far enough. Lois Lane should be autistic and Jimmy Olsen gets a sex change that leads to induction to justice league.

yeah because you can't have humanity without pussy right? Phantom (is fun story) is an obsessed unhealthy loon. superman has friend family, history. long before he knew lois (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman being my favorite version) she is not the first girl he has loved and while he comes to care for her she is not someone who opens up a whole new world to him or anything that would lead him to be as dependent on her as a phantom would be

>not liking snarky, take-no-bullshit Lois

Kids these days.

>not knowing the difference between bitchy and snarky
no wonder so many women are written like cunts

>integral to his character

To Clois shippers, perhaps.

Even Jerry Siegel wasn't retarded enough to write shit like that and Lois Lane was (sorta) based on his wife (visually, at least. Her personality was based off Torchy Blane).

Also, comparing it to Phantom of the Opera is a mistake since 1) the Phantom's "love" for Christine isn't meant to be healthy and 2) the context and story revolves around that love triangle in Phantom. Lois Lane is just a part of Superman's adventures.
