        Why a spoon cousin, why not an axe? It’s dull you twit.

        I always remembered that bit, I rarely heard anyone but my dad call someone a twit.

    Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. With the sole exception of his height, (comic book Wolverine is very short, and Jackman is not) it’s like the character walked out of the comics and onto the movie screen.

      The like, 2 seconds in Deadpool where they had Cavill as wolverine made me wonder if he could legitimately do it

      Hard disagree. Hugh is too tall and too pretty. He’s done a fine job with the character but I am extremely excited for a new short-king wolverine. It’s time to move on.

    The fact that Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn isn’t on this list makes me sad.

      He was too angry. Not necessarily his fault (probably moreso the script/direction), but Wilder didn’t nail the character for me.

    I fucking dare you to try to remake that with another actor.

    Mike Myers as both Wayne and Austin Powers. He has a way of doing corny characters with soul, and that’s quite rare.
