matt_zimmerI need to stop lurking at Toon Zone.
So, I find out Lucy Lawless will be voicing Diana in the Justice League: New Frontier DTV on Toon Zone. This is great news, right? To be perfectly honest, I'd be happier if Joss Whedon cast Lawless as Diana in his new Wonder Woman movie but this is the next best thing.
I think if Lawless or someone other than Susan Eisenberg had voiced Diana on JL/U a LOT of complaints about Diana would have gone away. A LOT of Diana's worst lines on the first two seasons of Justice League would have gone down a lot better if someone more authoritive had said them and SOLD them and not seemed so lame. I'm sure Eisenberg is a perfectly fine actress but she didn't quite have the chops for Diana.
I'm not really looking that eagerly forward to the new DTVs that are out of DCAU continuity. I think it was a mistake to end the DCAU and I think if these movies are a success b.t. should probably see about going back to it for some of the future DTVs. However the casting of Lawless is nothing short of a HUGE win for New Frontier. I'm so impressed that my interest is now definately peaked.
So, why was I shocked to see people at Toon Zone actually CRITICIZING this brilliant casting coup? God, fanboys are impossible. I think this is as big a casting coup as if Christopher Reeve hadn't had his accident and been cast as Superman on Justice League. She's PERFECT for the role and I'm REALLY excited about this. Instead people are taking smacks at Xena because it wasn't exactly a brilliant show. But Lawless did SOLID acting on the series and any faults the series possessed weren't because of her.
Sigh. You can't please everybody. But sometimes I wish people would actually THINK about what they say before voicing stupid opinions.
