    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Lives The Role Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy 2 Comments1 Min Read

    I caught the 2017 ‘Justice League’ movie on cable last night, and I have to say, even though it’s kind of a mess tonally, has too much Batman and digital Superman face, there are some really solid performances in it.  The Flash is fun as a young, inexperienced flibertigibbet, Wonder Woman is rock-solid and Jason Momoa’s Aquaman steals a lot of scenes.  I was concerned about Jason, what with Aquaman traditionally being a blond dude in orange scale-mail, but he lives the role throughout that movie.  Even with the amount of time he spends in mid-air (which is “Too Much”, by the way), it makes me want to see his solo film, leading to today’s underwater query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced “Stan-ih-slav-skee-un”) still remembers the complaints about Michael Keaton back in 1988 and how good that movie turned out, asking: What live action actor that you didn’t expect to be good as a favorite character nonetheless lives the role?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.
