[McD] James Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone call John Cena an asshole. He's a good worker, is well liked by his co-workers backstage, always comes across as humble and down to earth, has a good sense of humor, and he presently holds the record for most make-a-wishes granted by a single individual. Not a single thing about his personality points to him being an asshole. 7 Share this post Link to post
[McD] James Posted January 23, 2018 Funnily enough, Duke Nukem superfan LGR seems to be pretty optimistic about all of this. 0 Share this post Link to post

VGamingJunkie Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Much like a Duke Nukem video game, I think the only way a Duke Nukem movie will work is if it takes the Doom 2016 route and is as absurd as physically possible so that it has comedic value going for it. Doom 3 tried to take the serious route with UAC covering up its connections to Hell, Doom 2016 cranks it up to absurd levels by having the UAC not only admit it but be proud of it. Duke Nukem Forever tried to convince us to take its world seriously, and I think that's where it falls apart. That and just having way too moments where there's no action going on. 2 hours ago, Ajora said: I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone call John Cena an asshole.

If I had to guess, I'd say a lot of people hate him simply because of how popular he is, especially after he became a meme. 1 Share this post Link to post
Master O Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) 8 hours ago, MrD!zone said: Duke nukem? Nah! An Operation body count movie is where it's at! Catacombs movie where that one midi track loops over and over again. Does John Cena even realize this movie has "flop" written all over it? It has the potential to be so terrible, it might even rival Cutthroat Island. 0 Share this post Link to post
wheresthebeef Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) With respect to JSJ, Duke was killed a while ago, and his last couple performances as Duke came as bored, disinterested, and off, whether that was from him or bad direction given to him. 3 Share this post Link to post

Because this man is capable of looking like the character and performing his actions on set. I'm sure you mean the voice, but the way you phrased it almost sounds like you want him in the role directly. On that note, however: 10 hours ago, Sgt Nate V said: Just dub John St. John over him in post-production and it'll be fine. Why doesn't Hollywood ever have dual roles like this outside of facially obscured/CG characters? Hell, we could recreate the likeness of movie stars from times gone by with lookalikes dubbed by soundalikes. I'd prefer to see that when bringing back old characters than to keep seeing them Doctor-Who it every time the original performer aged too much or died. 0 Share this post Link to post

That's probably why there's an option to use Old Duke in the menu of the World Tour. He just doesn't seem to have it anymore, it's very jarring hearing his new lines compared to the old ones. He just doesn't have that aggression in him anymore. 0 Share this post Link to post

DoomUK Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) While the whole idea of a Duke Nukem movie seems unnecessary and 20 years too late to me, it's not like someone is making a Dark Souls or Deus Ex movie, where something really epic and interesting is going to be mangled by someone who doesn't understand the material. The only way they could fuck this up is by not making it crass and irrelevant enough. Edited January 24, 2018 by DoomUK 0 Share this post Link to post

geo Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I just realized... why are they going for John Cena? It needs a bigger budget like the Rock can deliver. The Rock as a blonde guy... perfect. Mark Wahlburg is pretty jakked up too, just not compared to Cena. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mark Wahlburg is pretty jakked up too, just not compared to Cena. John Cena literally has the exact look already. Rock looks nothing like Duke Nukem and he doesn't even have hair. Your Dolph Lundgren comment though is absolutely correct. 2 hours ago, Ajora said: Possibly because the movie will be PG rated and aiming for a younger demographic.

John Cena has been in R-rated movies and has been slowly phasing out of his WWE kid friendly image for a while now. 0 Share this post Link to post
Blastfrog Posted January 24, 2018 Dwayne's got the muscles and the personality but I'd really rather not see Hollywood return to the practice of trying to change performers' races for the camera. Just has bad idea written all over it, especially now. 0 Share this post Link to post
