It does not matter in which order they are listed.

If you're comparing an actor's body of work...

you can't say their earlier character was identical to their later character..

a proper comparison is their later character was similar to their earlier character.


It would be like me saying that post you made in 2004 .. was identical to the one you made in 2009.

unless you can time travel... this is wrong.

The post you made in 2009 was identical to the one you made in 2004.

Nobody's commented on the fact that that's a younger version of Nathan Fillion on the cover...

(I actually think Evans will do well...he's got the humor, and he'll bulk up quite easily considering he's already gotten pretty big for a few roles including Johnny Storm)

Allow me to quote myself: "Agent Smith was played virtually identically to Elrond." Notice I did not say Agent Smith was virtually identical to Elrond. If I had then you would have a point. What I said was that the manner in which they were played was unchanged. When illustrating a constant you either realize that there is no temporal constraint or, should you choose to place an artificial temporal constraint on it, you show its "unchanged-ness" through time. The first indicates that Smith/Elrond is the same as Elrond/Smith. The second mandates that Smith/Elrond has to be used and Elrond/Smith cannot be used as the comparison would travel backward temporally.

Considering noone had any idea how Elrond was played when Agent Smith came out... unless you time travelled.... The proper phrasing is ELROND was played identical to Agent Smith.

If you continue to argue the point, you show your uneducation.. and i will not continue a conversation on this subject with someone who is uneducated. You're just a TridenT at this point.

Good Day.

I can't tell if you are joking. Just to be sure, the point you are trying to make is false. Obvious, so I hope you are joking.

He's WAY too thin to play captain america. You need someone of Stalone or Arnold's size to really pull it off. The dude is one big slab of beef, not some twerp with a shield.

Look up set pictures of him, he got HUGE for the role. Honestly I think he's a good pick and everyone will be pleasantly surprised by him.

Good Day.

Please provide references proving your claim that the chronological order of the subjects being compared by the word "identical" matters.

identical: quantitatively the same; interchangeable. Therefore the order in which the items came into existence doesn't matter, BECAUSE BY DEFINITION THEY ARE INTERCHANGEABLE.

These rulers are identical.
Ruler A is identical to ruler B.
Ruler B is identical to ruler A.

Only Dwight Schrute would hear the second statement and say "False! Ruler B is identical to Ruler A!".

Look at Joe Johnston's track record: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002653/

Looks like the Cappy movie will be terrible judging by his past work. The Wolfman was an especially bad movie. One of the worst I've seen in the past five years. The only good thing on his list is Honey, I shrunk the Kids, and I probably only liked that because I was a kid when i saw it.

The last thing we need is more RR in super hero movies. He already fucked up Deadpool, and he's going to be Green Lantern. You just like seeing him in tights... Don't you?

isnt marvel doing a deadpool movie with him and following the comic version of deadpool?
