Henry Cavill SAVES Warhammer Cinematic Universe & gets ATTACKED by Amazon

Just like Witcher fans weren’t fooled by Netflix trying to blame Cavill, Warhammer fans won’t be fooled by Amazon trying to blame him. And as Netfix’s Witcher demonstrated, it’s better to have no show than a bad show.

[@kadewiedeman3127]

I'm shocked that those in authority at this division of Amazon don't see this. It just feels like basic logic. Fans of Warhammer are what made it a desirable IP. The fans are your most likely viewer base. The show runner wants to do what the fans want to secure their viewership. Interfering with that process to forward ideology has caused the collapse of multiple IPs in recent memory. It just makes financial sense to let the guy do what he's gonna do.

@@brt1strrbb110 Exactly. Drkwolf31B I hope it's some kind of mistake on your behalf and you're not part of Anti-Cavill propaganda from some studios that dislike that he's not their puppet for the pay. He didn't leave mid-season. He said clearly he would leave if they betrayed the core material which they did since season 1. So we had 2 seasons with Cavill waiting for them to repair the damage and they never did(Off the record I disdain that Hemsworth accepted a role that Cavill was basically pushed out of. There should be camaraderie on that field, there's supposed to be a Union there that strikes on lesser value things. Not that I blame Hemsworth for the series Failure, that's entirelly on Producers and Netflix, they made the choice to replace the protagonist rather than move closer to his logical needs). He did what I expect EVERY actor to do that has any kind of respect for his audience. The core material is not what the height of the actor. It's the soul. The actor brings the character up and transforms into them. Bond can't be a woman it's not the character or the soul. Lincoln can't be black. Malcolm X can't be played by an Asian. Thatcher can't be played by Jack Galifianakis. Patton can't be played by Jennifer Garner. Aragorn can't be the titular role of the Hobbit. The Hobbit cannot be all about Arwen all of a sudden because a producer asked for it. My beef with them is, they get the IP rights and all related right? It's usually for a good chunk of money. WHY on Earth would they want to jeopardize that investement to so massively change the original project that they actually gotten in the first place cause it's succesfull AS IS! IT's a guarantee that people loved it they way it is. Kinda like having read the Tolkien Lord of the Rings trilogy books before seeing the movies I was astounded by the end result it was THAT good! It's a HUGE gamble to make massive or key changes and think the fans or anyone would still go for it and watch!? Since those changes make it a different product!?! They seem to not learn that people will not go ahead and follow if they screw things up. I mean they could make their own setting with some of the elements they wanted that wouldn't hurt the copyright law and not name it Witcher, or Warhammer, or Jedi/Sith something, or even Game of Thrones season 7,8. Know thy limits right and some of them absolutely not! Even people like Feige trying to shove to the fans throats Female Captain Marvel and the femme gang as the best thing on Earth! He seems to understand now from Deadpool and Wolverine what really matters: give the audience a great time to watch what they're watching and when it ends they have positive things to say about it. I mean women in roles that where written with women in mind are usually ok right? Not worse than men, not better, but different with their own sets of strengths and weaknesses! Whom are they kidding when they try to feminize the world? I mean if the writer is good, women will have their moments, men will have their moments and everyone stays happy. If the movie has mostly male characters it will attract an audience that wants to see that. If the movie has an all female cast, it will have its own audience. Some people will watch the one and not the other and some will watch neither. It is what it is. If they try to force attract audience to a movie that normally wouldn't watch, by gender swapping and the like they only invite not neccessary evils and make matters worse for all.

Amazon didn't pick Cavil because he would be true to the lore, they picked him because he's become an unofficial face of Warhammer and would be free marketing for them. The execs didn't think they'd make use of his love for the franchise, they probably thought it's gonna be good for their profits if they can hire a director who doesn't need a large paycheck because they really want the job.

@@grosdaraz You are definitely correct, but it's a bit beside the point. They are incompetent and short-sighted, but that's only because they chase the quick profits. You can have a public corporation with execs who want to make the best product, but the moment they choose long-term quality over immediate profits, they're gonna hear from the investors who see them making choices that don't generate them money. If it happens too many times, the board straight-up removes the execs for someone who will just listen to the investors and turn in profit. Just pick virtually any publicly owned entertainment company and look at the quality of their products before they went public and the trajectory afterwards. So, the incompetence isn't the problem, it's a symptom.

Very few people I run into actually view the world in this twisted way, unfortunately when you do run into someone who does, you'll definitely not forget it. Everyone has been tricked into this inclusivity crusade and they aren't critical enough to understand how uninclusive this really is. Dune got some bad rap because they didn't have enough MENSA actors to represent the Fremen. But if it were fun by Amazon, then it would need to showcase all sorts of minorities and a dictated 50/50 split of men and women. So you do it one way and people crap on you and you do it a different way and people crap on you.

"Woman King" series is a great example (not WW2, but bear with me). So they wanted to make a series about a powerful historical woman in the setting of African continent (as vague as it sounds, but okay). Why make a story about an actual, historical regional queen who stood up to Roman Empire when you can pick a completely different woman known for nothing but reign of terror of her dynasty and turn everything on its head portraying her as a hero?

These actresses like him though, they aren’t the ones with the problem, and idk if you have any friends that aren’t gigantic nerds but every time I get on a nerd topic I’m passionate about they all do the same. Roll their eyes and say he we go again. It isn’t an insult or that I annoy them, they just expect it to happen when I find another nerd, feel the need to comment it’s happening again and there’s nothing else to it. The show runners and producers are the ones that despised him.

[@BouncerMcDayGreen]

Because they don't care about the material. Not a single person at Amazon gives the slightest fvck about the content of what they produce. There's only 4 things they care about: 1. Names of actors for popularity 2. Whether or not the topic/subject of the product is popular 3. Whether they can shoehorn their dogshit message into it 4. Whether it's profitable or not In this case, they have Cavill. The topic/subject is a popular franchise. They estimate that it will be profitable, however, they're having trouble shoehorning their dogshit message into it, hence the issues and the drama. They want all 4 at the same time, source material and accuracy be damned.

You would think Amazon would learn from Fallout’s success. Fans DO NOT want an adaptation to change or corrupt the world they love. Fans want a new story that fits into the world, and enriches it. That’s why Fallout was a hit. Just keep doing it that way!

That's a Strange thing , they made shows like fallout and boys and knows wchat to do and make ppl happy . Im start to think Amazon choose shows to make them woke randomly . Even Netflix looks like he learn the lesson and stop push some dumb stuff but high quality product like Terminator zero i watch yesterday.

[@MrMoros1]

Thank God for making a guy like Henry Cavill a true fan of these things, someone who is so genuinely passionate about them that he'd rather call the companies out on bullshit production and changes to the property rather than silently go along for a paycheck. A man who truly loves the franchises themselves.

[@paperdo]

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that Cavill will single-handedly, and drastically change the course of entertainment if he wins his fight, and stays true to the lore. The main reason why companies keep bastardizing IP's is that since the lotr trilogy there has not been a single IP that has truly attempted to stay true to the lore. As stupid as it sounds, accurate lore equating success and popularity is just a theory as far as the suits are concerned. Lotr just happened to get produced at that magical time right before the woke crowd took power, as well as at the perfect time for the fusion of practical and digital effects. I think hollywood just writes off the franchise as being "made in a different time". This makes it easy to dismiss the real reasons why it was successful. If Cavill is successful, there will be a current example to point to and will show that being faithful to lore, and not pandering to anyone (right or left) is the best way to guarantee success for a show/movie. I really enjoy 40k lore, but I don't play the board game. I'm the definition of a casual when it comes to the franchise. However, I will go absolutely nuts if Cavill can deliver. The fan made movie Helsreach was truly one of the coolest things that I've watched in the past couple years. I can't even imagine how awesome a big budget production would be. Not to mention, In my personal life I don't even know a single person who even knows wtf 40k is about, I guarantee that most of my buddies and both my brothers would watch and enjoy a lore accurate production. Every guy that I know has virtually written off hollywood productions because they are sick of the pandering and destruction of lore. This would all change if Cavill succeeds

[@stillwatersrundeep001]

Like you, i've drunk the lore kool-aid, but one point in your post confuses me: if your buddies and brothers don't know wtf 40k is about, why would they need a production to be lore accurate to enjoy it? As long as no one prejudiced them in advance, they'll be watching with fresh eyes.

So funny to see, that by trying to be like "inclusive", those big companies show, that they are the most sexist, racist out there. If there was a brothers of silence(don't know WH universe that much, maybe it's a thing), I think any man would be losing there mind to watch this movie, cause it's not about how many words the man says, it's about his actions. And saying, that woman should constantly talk, just literally sexist
