Exactly. The threat was that you'd redo the map, purging his man work contribution and thus the credit to which he should be entitled (The "injury" of the extortion). Whether or not you did so or had the authority to do so is irrelevant to the fact the threat to do so was what made Chuck post the comment. You leveraged him to act a certain way.
The right to do so is what differentiates between "manipulation/leveraging" and "extortion" as illegalities conflict with rights, and "extortion" is illegal.
The right to so isn't really there though. You may have made the map, but legally you have no right to it. You could also argue that there was an implied contract in the labour Chuck was putting in. Obviously, I'm chasing a really loose non-legal definition of extortion, and this really has fizzled out into semantics. Want to be my 2v2 partner? If you don't, I'll tell QKT you screwed over his chances with that bland blonde girl. See, this is blackmail.
Actually, I think that agreement that pops up everytime you save a map that disassociates Microsoft and Bungie from your content also gives you rights to it. which was the entire point. lol and yeah sure we can team up.
I just don't see why if he didn't have a convincing American accent that he couldn't just play an Australian. It's not as if it was America vs. Pandora.... at least, it's not meant to be. It's Earth vs. Pandora, right? I couldn't care less about that in Thor. People were complaining about a white Ryan Reynolds playing in Green Lantern but that's a different debate. It SHOULD be Hal Jordan btw.
American audiences don't take kindly to a guy with an Australian accent. That's practically a foreign film. Maybe it should be someone I don't loathe the **** out of. Like Nathan Fillion. If Ryan Reynolds can't make a convincing Deadpool, how the hell can he be a good fit for Green Lantern. The rest of the film better be phenomenal.
How did he not make a convincing Deadpool? Maybe you should've let warner bros. know before they started making it?
Ryan Reynolds was born to play Deadpool. He's wise-cracking and clever in his own right. The Wolverine movie only covered the fact that Deadpool never shut up, I don't really see it as a knock against Ryan Reynolds.
I've never read a Deadpool comic, but isn't he suppose to employ morbid and 4th fourth wall shattering humour?
He's still Wade Wilson. Not Deadpool; he's not cancer-insane yet. And it's Wolverine's movie, Deadpool can't overshadow the main character.
His Green Lantern role is going to be exactly the same as his Deadpool role, sarcastic, a few stupid quips: just this time with a sprinkle of heroic humility. Well, I suppose it's better than Keanu Reeves being cast as Spike Spiegel in the Cowboy Bebop film. I actually like Cowboy Bebop.
i didnt see anything wrong with the idea of casting keanu as spike. the moment's gone now, since keanu's getting far too old. if i can picture anybody fighting and moving the way spike does, it's keanu reeves. there's even a slight resemblance with facial features.
What they need is someone who is hauntingly thin but with graceful swift movements. I think Lee Pace would have made a good Spike. Keanue doesn't do aloof and goofy very well. Hell, I watched Keanu Reeves in Much Ado About Nothing, The Matrix, Constantine, A Scanner Darkly... Spike Spiegel looks bewildered in the anime so often. That's one expression Keanu fails and fails at.
I think he could do it. He did Hamlet a few years back and apparently it was the most amazing portrayal of the character in decades.
"hauntingly thin" shuman, you are not spike. [br][/br]Edited by merge: YouTube - Magnetic Man - I Need Air
