If Karl Urban was 20 years younger, he could've been the 2nd best person to portray Wolverine.

arguably first

@srj607able Год назад

He was amazing in dredd

@assasin19991999 Год назад

He played a liar and a traitor. I fullfilled my promise, but sniveling pussies lied. I was the only HERO. My Jensen beats Karl every time, You cant kill Soldier Boy and Dean, but You can kill a necromonger. Judge Dredd also can get killed, Dean has the luck of the heroes and Soldier Boy is the most powerful superhero.

@residentelect Год назад

He's a massive fan of 2000 AD, especially Dredd. Despite being an A-List actor Urban was quite happy to keep Dredd"s helmet on for the entire movie as it's canon that the reader never sees his face without the headgear on. Unfortunately Sly Stallone let his vanity get the better of him, wanting his face on camera during the 1995 film, which instantly put a lot of fans off... Well, _that_ and the terrible writing, acting and plot 😒

@guywglasses3910 Год назад

I'm also going to predict that Ryan might go evil and kill Homelander. Essentially, he takes what Homelander says about them being gods and twists it on its head. Knowing that he is not only as strong as he is, but possibly even stronger than his father or grandfather. In that, he develops a certain distaste for Homelander, considering him to be weak and ultimately killing him to secure his place as the strongest, maybe even working with Victoria to take over the U.S. Billy having to kill him will push him to take out all supes.

Well Butcher claims all supes are evil but than a few of them join him who aren't abusing the general public with their powers and that slowly changes his views.

I always felt that during the three on one, billy is on parr with Homelander and if it was just left to the two of them it would just be down to who gives up first or if the V24 ran out, with all three it was just a butt whooping because they took Homelander down and almost got the kill in about two minutes

@ColvyMolvy Год назад

I thought the same. Plus you look at Billy's previous special forces training, I think he could have had HL on the ropes or on them enough that HL would take off.

@Fadaar Год назад

I agree. Soldier Boy and Butcher both have far more actual combat experience than Homelander. Though to be fair it's unknown how much of that for Soldier Boy was actually ever a challenge, he could be in the same boat as Homelander and always massively outclassed any opponent he had.

@user-on6lm9lz3t 9 месяцев назад

Butcher and Maeve is absolutely right, no one even has a plan to stop Homelander from doing mass murder and these 2 almost pulled of it eventhough it ended terribly. Hughie tells about it, "The high road doesn't anymore" even after threatening him to release that flight video. Also, Butcher shows how far he can go to destroy Homelander. One of these instances where " I can go lower, straight to hell"(when he dreams of taking TempV) and (telling M.M)"I can't draw no line" and " I happen to live down here on earth, mate" just shows how dedicated and crazy he is. And it makes a point on how far he is willing and relentless to do it even if it means to sacrifice Hughie then so be it might be his reaction. Taking Temp V shows the irony of him hating on supes and then be the thing he hated the most.
