Mladen Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have to say that Finn Jones is either going to blew my mind (like Cox did) or I will hate him to a bitter end... There will be no middle grounds for this. I swear if I had to name 1000 people for the role of Iron Fist, he would have not made it. So, I am really waiting to see how he will do this. Who would have thought that Jones will get a lead in Marvel/Netflix TV Universe, while Harington and Clarke doing such uninspired work in flop movies... Mysterious ways of Hollywood castings...

I'm not saying Loras is going to die this season, but yeah he probably will. Even if the character survives he doesn't have to film nearly as much as the leads do.

OK, that would explain if they are too busy not to do movies, but they do movies. Even being the lead or prominent supporting stars. And yet they are part of the most abysmal projects I have seen in the past several years. If you have time to be a lead in a movie, than make sure that movie is at least watchable...The only thing worthy of mentioning of their movie career so far is Harington's work on "How to train your dragon 2". And that was animated movie, which says a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fit the parts pretty well, but you couldn't really ever call them exceptional actors. They are also now pretty typecast and will have a very hard time being seen as anything other than Jon and Dany for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious ways of Hollywood castings... I know Netflix is a significant player in TV these days, but being cast in a Hollywood blockbuster (even if it subsequently doesn't do very well by Hollywood blockbuster standards) is still a much, much bigger deal than being cast as the lead in a TV series. More money, more exposure, and much more of an indicator of success. I guarantee you many, many more people saw Clarke in Terminator than will see Jones in Iron Fist.

Or God save us all, Harington in Pompeii and Seventh Son. I was more referring to Jones doing something worthy of mentioning. Naturally, both GoT leads, even with those horrendous movies, are more popular, but between what they have been doing so far and what Jones is supposed to do in the future, as an actor, I would have be in Jones' place any day. But, yeah, there is no debate that both Clarke and Harington are far more prominent than Jones. 1 hour ago, Channel4s-JonSnow said: Its a little unfortunate that they are probably some of the least competent actors on the show.

I have derailed the topic a bit too much, but just to say I agree I am not sure who will make career (solid acting career) post-GoT, but Harington and Clarke are definitely not my first picks.

red snow Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm pretty sure Loras is toast or he's going to be background enough for them to recast. It's not like they haven't done so before and Loras isn't a core cast member. Margaery is more integral in that sense. I wouldn't blame him jumping into a lead role in any other show, let alone a Netflix/Marvel one. I do agree that being in a film is usually a better move for an actor wanting a big career. It seems easier to be a film star doing TV for sure. That said some actors just work better in long format storytelling. Bryan Cranston and James Gandolfino were at their best and most recognisable in TV. Sometimes they still seem doomed to support roles because they don't fit the expectations of a movie lead which still tends to be "handsome" young white guy that young people find appealing. What I was stopping by to post on though was that I'm pleased Iron Fist is moving along nicely and that it now seems a certainty that Defenders will be the next production piece after it. I'm not exactly excited about Defenders but I'll be pleased when they've done it and then they can have a contract that lets them to be a little more flexible with "phase 2". It'll probably kick off with JJ s2 but I'd be curious as to whether they'll try other new characters for TV too. Punisher seems a no brainer.

Channel4s-JonSnow Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I really hope they manage to get out a Punisher series. He was the absolute highlight of DD season 2. I'm quite disappointed overall with how Daredevil panned out, and ended on a bit of a bum note again. Frank Castle was the one thing holding the series together and when he wasn't involved it really felt like a substandard show, which is a massive shame as I love the show really.

Season 2 was good but I agree that the overall narrative was a bit weak. Especially the ninja stuff. It could have done with some more everyday crime-fighting but I can see why they wanted to be abit different from season 1 . We need more Punisher just so that the last we see of him wasn't him shooting ninjas from a distance. Plus Bernthal was excellent and deserves a leading role in something.

I bet they're thinking one show that alternates between showcasing each of them on their own, a la Marvel Knights... although why anyone at Marvel and Netflix would think Ghost Rider is viable, I'm not entirely sure. Depends on the writing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGP Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Was it though? Which run? Like, is Johnny Blaze still the Rider? Cause in my opinion, that's the weakest part of the concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
