Epic Henry Cavill Warhammer Defense: Graham Norton Show |The Graham Norton Show 

He was a perfect casting for Superman. The problem wasn't that. The problem was Snyder's view of the character, his direction, and incredibly sh*tty writing. Both Snyder and Warner Bros. have zero understanding of who Superman is.

@@DocFunkensteinno no. There wasn’t any problem at all (: don’t speak nonsense

@@DocFunkensteinif you think man of steel is a bad portrayal of Superman then you don’t know who Superman is at all.

@@jg2722 No, I do. You clearly don't. Superman isn't a grimedark Batman rip-off. Most of the DC heroes aren't. But WB and Snyder insists on portraying them that way because Batman made a lot of money. They're idiots. Much like yourself.

@@jg2722 "DURR, YEAh, noTHiNg WRoNg wiTh SuPeS straIGHt-Up MuRderINg FoLKs, LulZ!!!"

I swear when he said, did you remember Fat Henry, I pictured the character BananaMan

And then they sacked him, because he wanted to stay close the books!! And the producers wanting to be much more female leading the show and push The Withcher into 3/4 position.

Say it. Without Henry...the Witcher wouldn't have half the views..cos all the gamers would have cried tears for the losses. And all the women would have shrugged their shoulders and "next"😂

​@@ShengProductionsI heard different...but I heard a lot other different things too on that topic. He wouldn't have had a problem being not the main character or share that position with one of the female characters. As long as they would have done it right. I am sure of that.

Sadly, every time Henry Cavill says he likes a property, it dies. Witcher, Superman and now GW. This would weigh heavily on me if I was Henry, which is a shame as it's hardly his fault, it's just a natural progression of turning every IP into some weird Chimera to appeal to the black lesbians who are never going to watch this stuff because they have better stuff to do than watch stuff made for little boys.

Yeah for a lot of people the term video games is still synonymous with the word toys it seems. When it can also be a fantastic interactive story-telling medium. We've come a long way from games like pong and Tetris.

Exactly. Saying that all video games are for children is like saying all movies and tv shows are for children.

@@Japanimal1992 Yeah, it is plain stupid. I do not watch movies anymore. I prefer playing games with good stories :-)

Hear hear. In my 40's and some of the best friends I've made, I met through online gaming.

Lets put an 8 year old playing last of us next to his/hers mom and see if the mom thinks the game is a toy or for children.

Also note, the very-very-very absolute majority of players are not misogynist, racist or anything of the likes - but we are a lot of us that are Lore-puritans and will take offense when there is unmotivated changes and then lies about why they happen or claims there was no change as some for of gas-lighting. But sadly, Warhammer (40K) is the new hobby that game-press and others see as an area to attack and paint in a negative light, perhaps because traditionally it was played by white nerdy boys. Yes, it was - but that is by virtue of it being started in UK in the 90ies and some specialist stores in Scandinavia importing it to us over the small sea. But we always welcomed anyone, even during WH40K conventions and tournaments in the 90ies.

@@ZarkowsWorld A lot of the problem with parts of the WH40k fanbase comes from the fact that the Imperium of Man is a brutal fascist theocracy whose beliefs and propaganda are literally based on those of the actual Nazis. Most fans understand this and recognise that 40k is a setting where there are no good guys and that this is integral to the game because it means that no matter who wins, the bad guys lose. But there's some people who think that the Imperium is the good guys and that their fascism is somehow justified by how bad everyone else in the setting is... And those fans are not great to be around, because the kind of person who thinks that fascism can be justified as long as 'the other side' is worse jumps to the conclusion that people who they disagree with are 'worse' very quickly.

@@RvEijndhoven But it does not matter if some of the fans love some faction of the game "too much" (have seen this for Eldar, Tyranids, Space Marines, Chaos and Orcs, as a start) - the question is why GW is doing a 1984 and lying about past LORE and then claiming they are not changing anything and then gas-lighting fans that can point out changes.

@@ZarkowsWorld Ok, so first off... It does matter, because only one of the factions is a fascist dictatorship based on real life fascist dictatorships. And secondly what you're saying about the 'LORE' might sound reasonable to someone who doesn't know the context of what you're talking about, but they might change their mind when they find out that you're intentionally abstracting it to hide that what you're upset about is that Games Workshop released a line of female Custodes models and when chuds like you shouted "Women can't be Custodes!" at them. And then Games Workshop, being the one who _actually_ gets to decide what is and isn't true in the 40k universe, responded with "Actually, as far as we're concerned there have always been women in the Custodes."

Truthfully it should be more impressive to people....they're MINI. Smol! Teeny tiny details For context: I'm not into Warhammer, gaming etc but what I am is an artist and an amateur goldsmith. I have hobbies in beading, painting, needlework etc... Basically, I'm familiar with the difficulty of smol art form

Painting warhammer is really artistic too. That's a really good hobby. When you see some people doing some plasma effect on weapons with the paint, that's just so impressive. Some people just paint and collect them, other people just want to play. Some people just read the book... Warhammer got a lot of hobby and so many factions and lore, everyone can love it. But people prefer judging.

Honestly it used to be a lot more socially acceptable than its become, in the UK at least. Up until the 90s dedicated model shops full of railway sets, airfix fighter planes and Tamiya battlecruisers were in literally every town. But the hobby was almost wiped out by the explosion of PC and console gaming in the late 90s and honestly only GW (the makers of Warhammer) really weathered that storm well. The manufacturers themselves survived if in a reduced fashion, but the ecosystem of independent stores that were once so prevalent and upon which the hobby depended as such were annihilated. Where once there was 8 such shops that i knew of within maybe 4km (i live in a rural bubble between 4 satellite towns of Manchester UK) of me, now there is one general hobby store about 6km away and within another 2 within 15 KM of me, and 2 Games Workshop stores within that radius too (these two being the official Warhammer stores in Central/east Greater Manchester).

@@bairdrew You are right that model-making is destroyed compared to the 80-90s. But WH(40K) was never seen as cool or hip, it was always a fringe-hobby. PC gaming brought it infront of more people - even if some of the early games and some even now is fairly poor - and there is now an even more diverse set of players and experiences. But for anyone older than 40, it is still super-nerdy to paint the figures. Because it was back then.

I don't think Graham means it in a harmful way. It's just banter for entertainment.

Graham's show is all about bantering with his guests. That means all of his guests, nobody is being picked on because nobody is left out.

@@Oxley016 That’s true, but it doesn’t go over well with me in this instance because it seems like Cavill is being genuine, respectful, and vulnerable and Graham and the audience is all just like “let’s have a laugh at him all the same.”

@@conradkreutzer7128 Henry is British, we all do it, he knows what to expect.

Williams named his Daughter Zelda, yeah I'd say he was a gamer

vin diesel is the last person i'd imagine playing d&d

GOD BLESS YOU

Too bad he lost both roles.

is this a paid ad? o.O edit: Im not denying his talent, but the wording is quite... advertising lol

‘you put your little army together and fight someone else’s army’ *crowd dies of laughter*

@@xshadowscreamx It's so sad how closed-minded so many people are

Ah he will be brill in a Guy Ritchie project again.

I don’t think he hides his nerdiness/geekiness at all 😄 I think it’s very charming how open he is about it

@@otter011 I respectfully disagree lets leave it at that.

The funny thing is that CERTAIN games get prestige and respect whilst others get dismissed as childish. Simulate a battle on a minature battlefield with complex topology, with detailed soldiers you hand-painted yourself and a lengthy rulebook on how engagements work and the interactions between armor, infantry and air support, and you get mocked as a man-child. Simulate a battle on a chequered board with simple pieces and a ruleset that can be fit onto a single-page leaflet, and suddenly you're a respected intellectual. "The horsey moves in an L! So classy and refined". Not that chess ISN'T an intellectual pursuit, but it's weird how other hobbies get judged by different standards.

Which one?

​@@JV-ll1cu Mainly 40k. I have an Ork army & a Space Marine army.

That's cool. I had an Ork army too

@@JV-ll1cu Awesome!! 😎

Idris Elba has said he won't because he doesn't want to be known as the Black Bond.

I would agree but it would be a little weird on the cuffs of Phantom Liberty.

@@DragonLandlordsmart

James Bond is white.

@@hyperboreen4854 I don’t care.

Yes, he's rather catty in this one.

Have I seen this particular comment before? Is this part of the never-ending loop? 😳

Me! 😂

Yes I believe its Aaron Taylor Johnson?

@@letsgetitstarted No he rather ruthlessly ruled himself out claiming he will NOT be part of that pop culture. So no one knows at present.
