STAGES OF CASTING A SUPER-HERO IN A MOVIE
1. The studio announces the actor's name.
2. The Internet fanboys howl. "He can't play that role!" "He's a crappy actor." "He's the wrong color!" "He can't act!" "How dare they not cast my favorite actor instead?" "No one's heard of him!" "He's stupid!" "He's too short!"
3. The actor shuts down Facebook and Twitter accounts and goes into hiding due to all the trolls and hate speech.
4. The studio leaks some early shots from the filming of the movie.
5. Internet Fanboys scream. "The costume is all wrong!" "He looks nothing like the character!" "He's still the wrong color!"
6. The studio releases the first trailer.
7. Internet Fanboys screech. "This looks totally stupid." "They wrecked my favorite comic book!" "Why are they making a movie that no one's going to see?" "He's still the wrong color!"
8. The movie hits theaters.
9. Internet Fanboys stampede to the theater and emerge three hours later. "It was pretty cool." "He was amazing in that role!" "The show blew me away!" "Give it an Oscar!" "I saw it four times already!"
10. Internet Fanboys disavow all knowledge of disliking it in the first place and savage reviewers. "How dare you say bad things about my favorite movie?" "I loved this from the start!" "He's my favorite actor of all time!"
