He was Nap-Al
That’s Nam-ek. I think he was in Smallville. I read he was supposed to be an amalgamation of Non and Quex-Ul
okay, i got a name. we’re making process. i found this on random too. lool
so the actor is playing nam-ek, but still trying to find out who that tall ass nigga was.
edit, im late. loool
hmm, maybe he’s completely CGI
i was thinking that to be honest. probably just mostly cgi, and the few times they needed a body, they just put in some tall built random. because in the hall before being sent to the phantom zone, hes not standing on anything or has on boots to make him taller, the nigga is like legit 9 feet tall. lol
if he is all cgi even the part where he isnt in a suit. im shocked. i dont think they showed him on the whip post the explosion of krypton and the release of them from the phantom zone, but maybe they did. i mean its not impossible they just got a tall like 6ft9 nigga and using some hollywood gimmicks and what not made him taller. like just using his upper half for non suit shots, and cgi to make him taller.
because now that i look back at it, hes not like 7 feet, hes clearly like a fucking giant over towering all of them. lol
I don’t remember actually seeing his face, he was always just out of focus in the background when he wasn’t wearing a helmet.
Wow his name is actually Nam-ek. LOL
Flash fact: Nam-Ek is from the comics, dating back to the '70s.
If there was ever any doubt that Toriyama is a Superman fan…
well its funny because nam-ek back in the day was a white dude to my knowledge, then namekians from dbz were green but with an african undertone in their culture and demeanor, especially in the english dub, then later on nam-ek is a black dude on smallville,and a black dude on man of steel.
kinda interesting, but if im to reach, has slightly racial undertones because nam-ek turned purple or some shit and grew a horn, and you have racial jokes even within our own community like, you so black your purple (which was influenced by white racism), and racist shit like black people being called eggplants. so for namekians to be of that influence from supermans nam-ek, which is clear as day, but to also have this african undertone makes me go hmmm, why would you associate nam-ek as an african, and then eventually even though its not canon, nam-ek is portrayed by black men in smallville and man of steel, even though the original character was a white man turned purple is kinda suspect to me.
we all seen black face mr popo right, okay, yeah, moving on. just saying its interesting that nam-ek being a white man turned purple all of a sudden turned into a black man later on, even in cartoons where his character influenced an entire race.
now thats a conspiracy theory. haha, but you have to admit, it makes you think a bit, especially considering how racist of a character mr popo is, and how white america is always interjecting racist undertones to shit like we dont see that bullshit.
Nam-Ek was straight up badass. Hype levels went thru the roof when he tackled the shit out of Superman. Shame he didnt show up after the Smallville fight.
lmfao nam-ek…im dying.
its looking like he’s completly cgi
According to his stats, Na-mek is supposed to be 9 feet tall, but only weighs 285?? :wtf: Do kryptonians have hollow bones?
Their bones are probably made of a lighter but a vastly denser substance.
haha, well thats clearly wrong and whoever created that wiki on dc is stupid, cause isnt superman whatever height he is and that same weight.
i think nam-ek had one of my favorite scenes in man of steel. nigga got bopped and was like wtf, three long jump warmup leaps and this nigga bodied a plane. i just love the way it was animated and you really felt the weight of his steps. well when he was beating the shit out of superman was actually kinda better, but i dont know, i just loved the cgi on the leaps and the directing of it.
i think zack snyder should ignore trying to over explain any issues with man of steel for part 2, and just do a bit of a better job with his team when it comes to dialogue, overall acting, and story telling. im not shitting on man of steel, i think its fine overall except for say a few parts of the writing and directing, but i understand that even if your initial vision in hollywood for this movie was greater, it will get bodied by big wigs who want you to just make a movie thats a bit more shallow then what was first intended.
but now with its success you will have more room to move and create something better. anyone who keeps up with movies, directors and producers has heard that story a million times before of how one thing was suppose to go this way, but pressure from the studio forced another way that came out either shitty or just okay.
i would like a scene in man of steel 2 where we see superman flying throughout space and exploring. i feel like for me i always think what it would be like to just be able to casually jet around the galaxy, in and or around planets, etc… that freedom that superman has quite frankly im obsessed with it, lol, and it would be nice to see a director touch on that. that realization when clark is just flying through the rings of jupiter, or watching a star explode and he is like wow, im really bigger then life and i need to be better for the human race.
we got superman who just became superman and just went ham trying to protect earth and what not. id like to see some directing geared towards his realization of how powerful he is, and the potential for him to really change the world while also dealing with allowing people to evolve themselves. i hope zack snyder is smoking some good cali weed with his writers, reading old superman comics, mythology, jla shit, etc… and really bringing some heart gripping heat for man of steel 2.
for now im 200 percent satisfied with man of steel. but if man of steel 2 doesnt bring 3x man of steel at least, i will be disappointed, because there is a lot to do.
For what it’s worth, Supes gives his stats as 6’4" and 225 lbs in the 1978 film.
And “Over 21.”
Yeah but how big is he?
12 inches hence why he is the man of steel.
Man of Steel trailer remade using classic Superman
i think imma watch superman 1 right now. i use to watch it a shit ton as a kid. let me kick it old school again
I’ll admit that’s pretty clever.
I like how even in the fake trailer, Reeve still gets third-billed after Brando and Hackman.
