Most fans will give him the benefit of the doubt and watch the show. But we’re still going to complain about it until we see him because Henry Cavill was the ultimate fan, and ultimate choice for the roll.
There are many reasons for Cavills departure. Not least of which was the scriptwriters departure from the books storyline. Which he saw as cannon. I have immense admiration of Cavill’s talent, his loyalty and his ability to inhabit his characters. He was fired for telling the truth. And to top it all, he was also misled regarding a new Superman production. Personally, I look forward to seeing what Hemsworth brings to the role. Comparisons will be made regardless. And he knows that. As for Cavill, I don’t see him languishing without work for too long.
Attacky? Toxic, the fan base can be toxic. Any fan base can be toxic when you change a formula to any show that was exactly how they liked it. Go to any Star Trek posting page, and just watch people who revolve around a show whose entire premise is about peace, and understanding, just descend into Lord of the Flies. 🤣😋🤷🏻
Liam Hemsworth isn’t the problem.
They took a fascinating IP with huge amounts of lore and said;
Nah, we know better, we don’t even like it.
We’ll improve it all with our current opinions on this world.
how they talk about the ‘fanbase’ – if there are no fans then theres no show, film or whatever – the fans are the most important part of it all – but , sadly they operate like artists – they see themselves as artists and so they believe that they have zero responsibilty to ‘fans’ – but rather fans should be on their knees in gratitude and more than ahhpy to take whatever the high and mighty artist decides to give them – only the artist is allowed an opinion – the fans are not

Nobody is angry at Liam he’s just been offered a job and he took it. Fans just don’t want to watch the show without Henry in it and that is different!
I don’t care…Hemsworth is nothing but total waste of oxygen
Hemsworth no Henry yes That’s why I canceled Netflix They fired Henry
i‘m on the side of miley cyrus.
Toxic fandom is an absolute blight
No one is mad about Hemsworth. They don’t want to watch the show after the blatant disrespect of the source material
They already butchered the series they’re going to cancel it soon anyway

Attacky? No Henry was The Witcher, replacing him with the discount Hemsworth brother is a slap in the face.
