THREAD - Just saw Bay news about possibly doing Lobo, and you're not going to believe this, but I have some thoughts.

Also the decision to ground "Deadpool" with a sweet romantic throughline A) Was an extremely clever and incisive move B) Is the kind of necessary character work that flies over the head of a studio trying to replicate Deadpool's success

I'm not sure I trust the director who has Optimus Prime gleefully hate-grunt the line "Give me your face" while ripping an enemy's face off to handle a tricky character's presentation/tone

Oh it's going to be a nightmare, it's just going to be a different kind of nightmare.

If this happens, it will be Bay's LITTLE NICKY.

The version of Lobo in the DCAU must be wildly different from the version in the comics, because while nasty & selfish, he never came off as nihilistic to me. And also was a hilarious character.

I find Bay's movies tend to be better when he's constrained by "realism". Once you throw in fantasy elements/characters it goes too far off the rails

If you're interested in different takes on Lobo, before she started crushing it with her own regular stuff (Bombshells, Batwoman, etc.),
@EvilMarguerite did a pretty fun one-off for with him back near the start of the New 52https://www.dccomics.com/comics/justice-league-2011/justice-league-232-lobo …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I never understood the appeal for Pain & Gain. Bay literally tells us (with voice over) his characters are 'stupid'. I don't care for such a vision. Even Coen Bros care about their characters. Not caring and saying 'ah ah such a band of morons' leaves me wondering "why?".
