Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.

I was going to take you up on the challenge, but I honestly can't think of anything. Even portrayals from the more campy DC stuff is less cringey. I'd welcome Superfriends Luthor over this guy.

>>87460868
His portrayal or the movie? If you life the movie that's fine but his portrayal of Lex Luther is objectively wrong and bad, and ruined the movie for me (along with many other aspects).

Don't, it's terrible.

>>87460879
the opposite. I liked jessie eisenburg's portrayal of Lex. I thought the movie was good until the ending with doomsday which ruined it.

Gal Gadot.

McKinnon in Ghostbusters.

Ehhhh... Not sure either are actually worse than Eisenberg but McKinnon is trying to be funny and falls completely flat, which is the most cringeworthy thing in entertainment (I can think of X uses for a dead body, TODAY!) but Eisenberg is truly awful.

Yeah, the character was nonsense garbage, but the performance was one of the few things I really liked about the movie. It's so weird. I hated Doomsday, but I did like that Superman died.

This overrated hack is awful as Tony Stark, who supposed to be like the darkest and most grim character that has ever been featured in Marvel comics, yet, he's somehow a dimensionless, egotistical narcissistic with a charisma that's more annoying than Kevin Hurt's jokes.
Casuals will say
"uhm Tony in the comics is an egomaniacal narcissist."

Which comics are you talking about? Shitty Ultimate comics? Shitty recent comics, which are trying to replicate the feel of the movies?

Instead of something like >>87461237 or >>87461229 where he is experiencing true anger or >>87461197 where he goes right up to Superman and fucking just handles him. Hell even in these old pages where >>87461125 is basically Spacey's Lex, a bit of cheese and resentful no matter what.

I liked BvS Lex. It showed how real a person can be. All it takes is for one autistic child with daddy issues to push him over the edge and show the world how truly misunderstood we are.

>>87461348
I remember watching that and wondering "Is this the Phantom?" but could never really be sure since I didn't see the intro. I thought it was some kind of knockoff. It was also really weird when someone on the news said 'a hero in a purple suit', like bitch it's almost completely black.

Ultron.

Nah, he's right. Lex wasn't serious and thoughtful until provoked Lex or outright fun crazy with a serious mask Lex.
He was just some rich dick with autism that hated being emasculated.

>>87460974

I really, really disliked Whiplash. I didn't like the look or concept, just seemed a pointless diversion in IM2 needing to have more-than-1 villain when the movie would have been much better focusing on the Hammer rivalry, instead it muddled and lessened both villains and the overall movie.

Having said that, Whiplash is still damn near infinitely superior to BvS Lex because at leas there was a real motivation present. There is simply nothing present in BvS to justify why Lex behaves the way he does, and yes I'm aware of the talk of angels & demons, more of Snyder's beloved biblical references that look pretty but lack any meaning within the context used.

If he had a hate-boner just for Supes, if he was shown for why he had that, I'd be more willing to understand but this guy wasn't a tragic character who accidentally slipped into villainhood, he was willing to *firebomb innocent people* just to make Supes look bad for the 15 minutes it took for everyone to realize that Supes doesn't use explosives. He was willing to kidnap and torture Supes' adoptive mom just to motivate him into goign after Bats. This wasn't misguided-antihero turned reluctant villain, this was bwah-hah-hah supervillainy with zero reason for being this comically over-the-top evil.

I'm not kidding, my neck and upper back ache just from thinking of Eisenberg-Lex, the cringe is palpable.

>>87460837
He may not have been a great Classic Lex, but he was hands down the most entertaining character in an otherwise tediously boring movie.

Reddit loves Eisenberg's Luthor though.

>>87461378
>It showed how real a person can be.
But he wasn't real, he was literally pulling out plot points and knowledge he shouldn't have out of his ass. That scene with the senator was great, I loved the whole 'The devils come from the sky' bit, but he just seemed too fantastic to be relatable, yet too much of an autistic child to enjoy it.

>>87461676
Man, Ultron is the ultimate fucking wasted potential.
The trailers all made him look great, and he had fantastic moments, but fuck they did nothing with him.

>>87460837

And that's what lex is. Lex isn't a tragic anti hero. He has never been that, he is just a plain bad that that lies to himself.

A lot of it is that he never felt like a real threat.

yeah, I get they were going for the "It doesn't matter if you destroy this body, I'm already on the other side of the planet starting the next step of my plan" thing, but he never won a fight against the Avengers, and the biggest threats to them was Scarlet Witch and their own infighting.
