Shame they couldn't get The Rock to play as the Boulder.

Probably out of budget.

Why did they cast a 50yo dude as the Boulder? The Boulder is like early 30s.

Who is Amita? Google isn't helpful.

Amita is an entirely new character that is original to the live-action show.

I mean, the actress is great, but I don’t think she can salvage this trainwreck.

bruh, couldnt even get an actor with sight impairments

[–] ninja@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

This seems like a practicality thing. As did Dare Devil, Toph moves in very precise, high speed ways; as if they weren't blind at all. Teaching the actor their moves and keeping those motions safe at speed is just easier with a sighted actor.

A new original character, just what we needes.
What did they do to my boy the boulder? all they needed to do is get a wrestler.
