Why is it humorous? It's not he would sing or anything.

Because Disney is bringing in their characters into the Marvel world like a lot of people where making fun of, and now it is happening. I will most likely will be humming "High school musical" if he was is going to be on the screens.

I can't wait to hear people make parody songs of High School Musical/Spider man, now that you bring up singing.

Zac Efron is an actor. Not a disney character. It's not like Goofy would be playing Doc Ock.

He works for Disney, he works in Disney movies. I consider him a Disney character.

Then you're dumb. Simple as that.

Well that's your own stupid problem.

I guess Adam Sandler, The Rock, James Earl Jones, Mel Gibson and Robin Williams are all disney characters in your mind too.

I just really hope we get someone....ANYONE with a tiny bit of charisma. Macguire was a plank.

I am what a yam.
I am a simpleton and I like to generalize him as a Disney character.

And some of those, yes I would generalize as a Disney character as well Stryker. Sorry if it offends you.

Still not getting why it would be a bad thing.

It's not as if Disney is some sort of failing production company and Efron is a terrible actor with no fanbase.

I didn't say it would be bad, I just said it would be humorous. I wouldn't mind seeing it at all. I wouldn't mind seeing him as spider man. I don't know why your so offended though. Tiz just a flesh wound.

*The Stryker* · 01-28-2010, 10:03 PM

I'm not offended at all. I just don't understand the mindset of "Disney is ruining everything in mah life!"

Vivi · 01-28-2010, 10:05 PM

I get what Drawsher is saying. Being affiliated with Disney holds a bit of a stigma for the fanboy crowd. Thing is, the kid can act. Although, to be fair, I haven't seen any of the High School Musical Movies (or whatever they're called) to mar my judgment. I think he would be a pretty good choice, actually.

When did I say this? I love how you take things out of my mouth that I didn't say. I find Disney a great company, the company is working well and is bringing in money. Their ideas have brought in a large audience, they are over all a very prosperous company that I can actually still enjoy what they put out in theaters.

And I love that they took in Marvel, Spider man will probably will be 5 times better because of them. They concentrate on ideas that actually bring in the bacon.

I don't know that it's a "stupid problem." It's just a unique stance/perspective. I wouldn't say James Earl Jones is a Disney character and nothing more, but when you get down to it, James Earl Jones IS a Disney character. Just like Cam Clarke will always be Leonardo to many people.

Seems like a stupid reason to call someone stupid, but I'll leave it at that.

If it helps, Zac Efron also played a young Simon Tam in an episode of Firefly. That and Hairspray are all I've seen him in. I'll give it to him. He can act, but I want the writers to get the Parker/Spidey character written right. Zac can pull it off if they write the character correctly. Zac playing a Spectacular Spider-man (TV ShowS) version, I'd be fine with that. My 2 cents.

That was him? I honestly didn't know that. But that's all I need to know he's awesome. Being on Firefly only makes people 20X more awesome than they already were.

*XERO* · 01-31-2010, 01:09 AM

I would love to see Zac in a action movie, period.

Wish Bone · 01-31-2010, 02:37 AM

500 Days of Summer is a great movie.

I am excited about it.

What? Now you're contradicting yourself. James Earl Jones isn't a Disney character, but he is? You're just as dumb as that "unique stance/perspective", which isn't unique at all, just wrong.
