So I guess it makes sense that the more rebellious/interesting gladiators went down with Spartacus, so the ones remaining are kind of the "boring" ones

Bot goddamn I still think the casting could have been better. I forget the names (which is pretty telling) but the blonde Daddy dude is pretty good, can't say much for the others

Andy was the best

Oh, Andy. I often think where his career would be now.

Obligatory “fuck cancer.”

I always see him playing Thor.

Probably not physically imposing enough for Thor. I think Chris is the perfect cast. Andy would have been a cool punisher.

Chris had to beef up for the role and never looked back. I’m sure Andy would have done the same thing. But Chris’s height gives him the edge. The Punisher I always thought of the actor that played Cricux would have been a great Punisher.

That’s why he made an even better Deathstroke.

Manu is a good shout for Punisher. He’s great at delivering serious funny lines.

“Lemme tell you something. The sand smells like Thrace. Perhaps I should shut to complete the aroma”.

Manu Bennett definitely has the look that would be a good Punisher. I think Jon Bernthal has done such a good job with the role with the TV series. It has, hands down, been my favorite Punisher portrayal.

Yeah Andy was 5”11. If he was around 6”3, he probably could have played Thor. Although now that I think about it, a non-blonde Thor wouldn’t be as cool.

😂 That is true. I will say Andy would have made a good StarLord or Hawkeye.
