kill yourself

the Lex character in BvS isn't supposed to be intimidating

You've made a rookie mistake here in that you've compared the Lex in the film with Lex from another medium/canon and you're finding flaws by the difference between the two, but this is wrong and I judge you harshly for it.

>>83842166
Billy Zane both looks like and could pull off DCAU Luthor.

>>83842544
Go home Billy you're drunk.

>>83842166
The rock can't act tho. At least little jew boy is classically trained the good ol fashioned way

>>83842166
no, the rock is a cuck

>>83842527
Lex Luthor works better as a character when he is somewhat intimidating.

That's far outside the range of The Rock though. Also dude's not exactly intimidating. Like Terry Crews.

>>83842710
I think Kevin Spacey fit the bill perfectly.

>>83842166

Yes.

Even the Rock would have been better. Here's why:

Lex Luthor is the alpha man. He is a genius with few peers, a businessman who has conquered the economy and he keeps his body in shape in accordance to his view that he should be better than everyone. He has studied and schemed and worked out his entire life to achieve what he is, and he sees Superman as an insult to that, an insult to human potential. Superman did not have to exercise for his body, he can learn anything at super speed so he doesn't require a student's patience and he is loved by all due to these gifts.

While wholly unbelievable as a genius, The Rock can deliver vanity on that level, which is one of Luthor's defining traits. Jesse seemed entitled, sure, but deeply insecure and nervous. Like a beta with money trying to boss others around.

Why?

>Lex Luthor is in shape
Why though? I mean he's a human which regularly outsmarts Supes, in the world of Superheroes being a literal master in hand-to-hand combat is useless when even the lowest superhumans could conquer a small country.

I don't think critics would have liked a RAUNCHY rated R #bvs.

That's the character here. That's what the Lex from this movie is. You said "Lex is" and so on but Lex isn't anything, Lex is imaginary. Lex is whatever he's written to be in whatever work he happens to be in.

>>83842753
Kevin Spacey has great range as an actor. Wtf does Eisenburg have? Uglier Michael Cera?

>>83842166

Yep. I would actually watch BVS if Rock was in it. Refuse to simply because schlong face is in it. Huge miscast.

>>83842166
Yeah that would have been HELLA LITTY

>At the very least he would look like Lex
Lex started out canonically with red hair. He loses it in a laboratory accident in the comics. The movie using a prep for a prison sentence works just fine.

Yeah he's more the Jimmy Olsen type.
I would've unironically liked Idris Elba as Lex Luthor. I think casting black people as goody two-shoes dindu nuffin is retarded.

we need a raunchy lex

The rock doesnt look like Lex Luthor. Pic related.

Also Lex Luthor is a crazy mad scientist. Your interpretation of the Ubermensch bodybuilder billionaire is also a retcon/reinvention not less or more valid than Eisenberg's one.

>>83842881
No, thats the Justice League cartoon one. Lex is fat.

>>83842166
yeah probably.
