[@Story2ScreenMovieReviewPodcast]

Bro I'm dying to read the Superman movie that Henry and Mission Impossible director Chris Mcquarrie pitched to WB, who sadly turned them both down. Such a shame. However, insiders say he may have been asking for way too much money and major creative control, that an A level star can demand. However Cavill isn't an A level star (probably at least B - C level) and that to some degree I can understand WB being a little hesitant to bring him back due to his demands that maybe he hadn't quiet earned, but at the same time WB was also being extremely difficult as well.

[@lyndonchastain3181]

I would be pissed off if I was Cavill too when you see Gadot and Momoa get sequels when they started way after him. Hell even Shazam got one lol

[@BadgerUKvideo]

@@lyndonchastain3181 Shazam was the best DC movie.

[@lyndonchastain3181]

@@BadgerUKvideo Yeah but the second one sucked balls. My point is Cavill has every right to be ticked off at WB. They even made Affleck the focal point in Batman vs Superman

[@BadgerUKvideo]

@@lyndonchastain3181 Fair play. Just got to defend Shazam wherever possible. I'm totally ok with people saying Wonderwoman gets the top slot but people seem to forget how bad the final act was. Shazam was banging start to finish.

[@jedijones]

No, that's completely false. He wasn't making demands. The executives simply didn't want him in the role. When The Rock got the ear of a new executive, he had no trouble striking a deal for Cavill to appear in Black Adam. But he had to go around the outgoing executive who refused to hire Cavill. And, now, WB has appointed Gunn who has fired Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and others from their roles. This is ALL because of the egos of corporate executives, not anything the actors did.

[@armenican2545]

Russia won the war its ok you can say it

[@ewenwindham8407]

Yeah, let's ignore the Russian/Nazi pact that saw Europe burn. It was only when the Germans attacked Russia that the got off their backsides and they would have lost if Britain and the US hadn't supplied them.

[@MrMarketingGuy]

Anyone else getting the vibe that this film is a dud as they seem to be releasing lots of clips and interviews and it all feels very desperate does the promotion.

[@jedijones]

It's not doing well, but it's a fairly entertaining movie. Not nearly the classic this host seems to think it is though, LOL.

[@JoshuwonPeiris]

Henry Cavill was too bland to play Superman. Its such a squeaky clean character, so you need a charismatic actor to add flavor to it, and Christopher Reeve had that screen presence and charisma, Cavill lacked. Bond is easier to play, because the script gives Bond some charisma to make up for the actor lacking charisma. Daniel Craig is rather wooden too, but was ok as Bond.

[@TheChiefEng]

The character played by Alan Ritchson and the way he portrays the real Major Anders Lassen VC may not be correct regarding the real historic events on this mission, but the real life Anders Lassen was well known in SOE at the time as highly efficient at killing Nazis in various ways. The real life Anders Lassen was actually so good at what he did that he became a major at age 23 in SBS (what later became Special Boat Service). One of his combat reports allegedly just consisted of the words "arrived, killed Nazis, f..ked off". Anders Lassen unfortunately died 9th April 1945.

[@Nabneet1507]

W report.

[@yasirshafi]

The Russians were the major reason for the defeat of Germany in WW2. The US did provide resources and were instrumental during D day but the Russians had a more crucial role in Germany’s defeat.

[@andrewzach1921]

Only in the fact that Russia is huge and the Germans were stuck there in Winter. The Russian army was barely a force. They were sharing guns for God's sake. I am not American but don't try and discount the impact the United States entering the war had in the outcome.

[@katew3458]

Obviously, Henry has absolutely no knowledge of the history of that time.

[@yasirshafi]

The US had a big impact but mostly for resources. The Russians fought through the winter and broke the German army’s back and the allies finished them off.

[@katew3458]

​@@yasirshafi That's true.

[@yasirshafi]

The World War 2 in color doc on Netflix is a good resource. Even a western produced doc acknowledges the major role the Russians played.
