Snowpacolypse and Mad Ass Nerds

It's day two of being trapped in the house, and while I was writing an article for ComicVine, I came across a news article about Ryan Reynolds choosing another film over doing a Deadpool film. That's what the whole article was about, and nothing more. It was short and sweet, but a few people had a little too much to say about what one man chooses to do with his job/craft/talent. Cue screenshots from some random website.

I wasn't in the mood to do five separate pictures, so I lumped them together. Let's discuss.

1. Boy October wants to sell his shit.
You hate a man because he took one job over another? I wonder how you would feel about a someone who murdered your whole family? Would you like him/her or would you simply not care because they're not starring in Green Lantern 2. You're wearing a Red Lantern shirt in your profile pic, but you're so mad, you won't see the GL film out of spite? I'm calling your bluff. You'll be there opening night, or at least opening weekend. I PROMISE YOU THAT. By the way, if you're giving away your Ryan Reynolds stuff, I'll take your copy of the Proposal. I kinda liked it

2. Boy October uses a phone to harass people.
"um." Obviously you know you've made a terrible, TERRIBLE, choice if you start your sentence with "um." Why are you calling his publicist? That's voicemail is just going to get deleted or laughed at. As for Mr. Reynolds holding a press conference because it would be in his best career interest... I'm sure you know a lot about the film industry. That's why you know what's best for it. If fanboys ran Hollywood, it would be dead in a year. It would be filled with un-compelling super-hero stories that never push the bar when it comes to film making. Instead of films like Black Swan, and the remake of True Grit, we'd have Spider-Man 34 and X-Men 78, and each of these films would feature an ensemble cast of 47 people who the audience barely has the chance to meet. I'm a comic book fanboy, and even I know my boundaries. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and saying he works a 9-5 job making $40k a year. Do you see me coming down to your office yelling at you because you used Courier font on a report and not Times New Roman? No? "um."

3. Cross also doesn't understand any aspects of Hollywood
This is the problem with fans. They don't understand that actors act for a living. They don't wake up in the morning and say to themselves "Shit. I don't know how to please CrossTheGrigori today. I've got to do something!" They wake up and say, "Time to go to work." OR "I need to find a job/part that best suits me that will also pay the bills." Actors make movies to make a living. They don't act to please the fans.

4. Cross says he's not over-reacting.... but....
$20 to get into a theater? I did some research on this one, and in America, I couldn't find any ticket over $15, and the $15 ticket was for an IMAX 3D event. I did find a site where someone from England CLAIMED they paid 27 quid for a movie ticket, which is about 50 American dollars, but it couldn't be backed up anywhere else. Cross must be going to a theater in which there are also strippers and booze everywhere. That's the only thing I can think of. Quick not about the third paragraph where Cross mentions politicians going back on their word and never getting re-elected. I bet you, that EVERY re-elected official in the house and senate, and even re-elected Presidents have gone back on his or her word at some point... It's a ridiculous challenge but I'm 90% positive they've all done it, whether the promise was huge or minuscule. Again, Ryan Reynolds didn't betray his fans... He took a job.

4 out of the 20-some odd posts on there (these 4) were ridiculous. The other 16? They were normal. People stated that they were disappointed, but no one was calling people's publicists, burning memorabilia, or saying "death to Ryan Reynolds." Although the reactions are priceless, the best way to look at this is that every group has their own irrational, delusional, pompous morons. As long as you take their opinion as the purest form of entertainment, there's no problem. Just don't condemn a whole group of people, pick out the crazies instead.
