That description got us Stephen Amell for Arrow and he's been doing a pretty good job.

51 is probably still a kid to most television execs. Sumner Redstone's oldest is 59. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Feb 2, 2014 |

I would risk the "sexy enough to get teens" actor because there's at least a chance they could act.

Personally, I won't be completely satisfied unless he looks like an almost-homeless version of Sting, but I'll be happy as long as he's blond, British, and an rear end in a top hat.

I hope they make Constaine in a larger universe. I'd kill for him to run into Zatanna or Deadman. Or, gods be kind, Sandman.

Outside of the very rare cameo and like two team-ups, he barely interacted with anyone in the larger DCU once he got his own book. Bringing in guest stars would already take away from what makes him work as a character.

Constantine as he stands now is a DC property, where he has titles linked to the bigger magical picture of the DCU (ie Justice League Dark). I doubt much of his tv show will be based on his Vertigo comics and it might be a way for the network to introduce DC magical characters through the backdoor like how Arrow has introduced a whole slew of DC characters.

Yea, that's exactly why I said that. I don't see Constantine in his own separate universe, but as part of the DCU as a whole. Even before JLD, the first person Sandman visits after being freed is Constantine then Martian Manhunter.

That's because Sandman was a DC comic at that point - and it was pretty much expected it would have crossover. Shortly after, Vertigo was created and Sandman became it's own standalone.

Forget getting actual actors to do things, Constantine should be played by Gordon Ramsey.

This might fall on deaf ears (understandably so), but yesterday's Agents of SHIELD was legit awesome. It was just a really clever, fun spy show with actual emotion and creativity shown by the people involved. I mean as a whole the show still has a ways to go, but this episode was the first time it actually made me feel something and wasn't just 45 minutes of complete blandness.

My thoughts: Deathlock's 'transformation' scene was pretty neat with the leg assembling itself. The best scene, however, was Agent Ward and Coulson trying to figure out the holodeck - probably the funniest scene thus far in the show. I wonder if they will actually kill off Skye or reveal she's an Inhuman or something? Jonny_Rocket fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Feb 5, 2014 |

What's the status with Kree and Skrull stuff in the MCU, anyway? My assumption when they said she was an 084 was one of those, but I'd assume Skrull is with the FF rights package?

Apparently the Chitauri and Skrulls are now different, for reasons. I wonder if wanting to use them in the Avengers means anything.
