Oh, wow, yeah, he definitely seems like the type. And true! I can see him being typecast. I do think he prefers comedy, considering his choices pre SV and he did try something that didn't take off, but like you said, it wore off soon. I can't imagine him as anything but Lex either. Justin Hartley just struck gold with This Is Us because he wasn't haven't long term success either until that one. Not that he isn't talented- he is good at playing characters I want to immediately send to therapy lol
I think people who loved Smallville would easily forego the Crisis scene for nostalgia sake- I can't really imagine it being a dealbreaker. Give it enough time and people might not even remember it happened. Did not know that about WB and DC. I too wonder how it will play out.
Yeah, I can't imagine there being enough of a fanbase for 5 shows. And yeah, I saw it because the memes are easier to follow on Tumblr. I am not surprised they're still defending him- fans are dedicated, and I don't mean that in a complimentary way. And I guess we will see how being on The Boys helps or affects his career.
Oh they can definitely be toxic, especially when some fandom theories become so popular that it is considered "canon" and people are vilified for not falling in line. And I get what you mean by how draining it can be to constantly fight. It is healthier in the long term to find your own place and attract like minded people, because you are rarely alone in your opinions. There are always people, especially in a big fandom, who feel marginalized and shut out for many reasons.
Sometimes you do pick a vibe. Oh well, maybe that makes it slightly easier to detach? There are people who worship everything about these stars and that is tougher. When you are blinded by that kind of devotion, it really can make it hard to see through the real personality or justify their actions. Look at Trump! Jared is a whole different matter, but if that man can still have people devoted to him, anyone can.
There was definitely a lack of distinction between Chloe Sullivan and Allison Mack, at least by the more hardcore fans. I remember when they had some sort of "feminism/pro women" site/comm back in the day and they propped up AM. I think AM had some blog where it seemed like she used to practically think of herself as Chloe. It's just a mess. IDK how people can think she is a victim when it was her initials that was part of the brand they were putting on these poor women.
I didn't read it. I read statements she has made in the past and I just don't buy it. How they let her take classes while she was under house arrest is unbelievable. I know KK was involved early but she seemed to have left before all this went down but not sure how much she knew. Guess we never will unless she comes clean.
Oh, agreed. As long as it is financially beneficial for those involved (sports/music/other entertainment), it will be encouraged on some level.
