(Maybe much like how a film like Black Panther is made for me, a black urban male, a film like Wonder Woman was made for women, like my wife, who loves the first film, as I love Black Panther.) You didn't feel pandered to at all? The Wave Master posted... Spoiler guess for WW84.... Use the spoiler tags, man! That's what they're there for! I haven't seen the first let alone the new one's trailer, so your guessing is spoiler-ish for me. ParanoidObsessive posted... Let's be honest though, he's still done more than most. What's that even supposed to mean? If that's how you're starting a point, you should reconsider the whole point. ParanoidObsessive posted... If you were ranking your list of top wrestlers-turned-actors, Cena would be right up there. Likely more so than either Hogan (who mostly starred in C-list films alongside his small role in Rocky III) or Piper (who had one memorable cult-hit film and a bunch of stinkers). Batista could potentially outrank him (Guardians pulls Batista up, but most of his other roles are either in much smaller films, or have him in bit-roles in larger movies), and the Rock is pretty clearly the #1 of all time, but Cena is very much seen as a Hollywood success (at least according to wrestler standards). When Hogan and Piper were doing it, it was a different era. Hell, promotions were trying to keep talent from doing films. And most of Cena's work so far has been small cameos, like playing Juliet's brother on Psych! (Not to mention that when Hogan did c-list films, they STILL had major theatrical releases whereas a lot of Cena's stuff was direct-to-video.) And if the argument is nobody except the Rock and Batista is really doing anything big, that's not really a ringing endorsement for Cena. But hey, who knows, maybe his acting career will take off after the new Suicide Squad film.... a role, by the way, that he only got because Batista didn't pick up the phone. ParanoidObsessive posted... (Possibly to the annoyance of HHH, whose own push towards acting failed miserably, or Edge, who sort of went into acting because he had no other choice, and who hasn't really seen the same level of mainstream acceptance or high-paying jobs.) The fact that Edge never got over was surprising, considering he has some personality and charisma. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| Scientists are finally waking up to what pyramids have known all along. <cite>Aaantlion posted [p:943716095] in 28 Geeks L...
