wcw43921 Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 I would rather see this comic turned into a movie rather than recasting Plastic Man as female. Hermit and BoloOfEarth 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Maybe the lead character instead of being gender-fluid will be gender-plastic? BoloOfEarth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Well, yeah but it's not like anyone is that invested in the existing character canon, is it? So if they want to change that, I don't really care. There's the secondary question, of what's the point of making this a female character, and how is it going to be used, of course. I have to say the initial guess is, "well, no one's gonna give a darn about this character so let's throw in some bimbo vixen type and draw in the young guys that way." I mean, honestly, Plastic Man? Well, I suppose it is long winter nap season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csyphrett Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 This is like the fantastic four movie where they didn't want the fantastic four, or the lone ranger where they didn't want to follow the lone ranger rules. This is a niche character. if none of his fans show up, this movie will bomb CES Trencher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjalund Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Isn't this Elastigirl redone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 IIRC Elastigirl's powers were growth and shrinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iuz the Evil Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Elastgirl from "The Incredibles" I'm assuming, and yeah. Sounds like a remake of Incredibles 2. Lord Liaden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Not to mention the name would need to be changed, so then you have "fans" going "who?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Honestly I don't mind except that Plastic Man should still be a man and that he should still have the humor level of the original character. Beyond that, I don't care if it is female focused or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 The article just says the film will be "female-centric", not that they'll be changing Plaz's gender. I can think of a few ways to do that, like making the main character one of Plastic Man's supporters or maybe an agent assigned to keep him under control. The effect of having a superhuman around and the changes it makes in the primary character's life could be much more interesting than the super himself. slikmar, Lord Liaden, Starlord and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, this is DC I believe, so what are the odds, unless they put him in same "arena" as SHAZAM, which could be great. Still hoping for a sequel to that movie.

novi Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Honestly, a Plastic Man movie has been 'in development' for over 20 years - The Wachowski sisters wrote a script in the 1990s. Until they actually talking casting or shooting, the movie doesn't really exist. The hiring does suggest that Warner has decided that female-led or fun superhero movies are a better bet than Snyder-style flicks. Or that somebody wants to give the lady mentioned a paycheck. As said, there are some interesting things that could be done, and some really dumb things. If it ever actually gets made, I'll give it a chance. wcw43921 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
