So Matt in that sense fits much better. Plus he is easy on the eyes!

ladybugjess

I have good feelings about his casting.

Cadenf

Yeah and it seems they plan to follow the comic books better also'

Si_Crazy

^ that could be just as great as not so much for the show.... because some fans tends to be very picky about comics

ladybugjess

Yeah but the fans should realize that a lot of the people who will watch the show probably haven't read the comics...

Si_Crazy

And when have fans ever been thoughtful? I can already see lots of complaints

ladybugjess

Yup. Though the one I do agree with about Constantine's bisexuality being ignored in the immediate future of the show. That is something intrinstic to the character.

Si_Crazy

Yeah I get that... I could see they exploring it more if it was in a cable network.

ladybugjess

True. But shows these days do have gay relationships. Why not have have a bisexual character.

Si_Crazy

Oh I totally agree with you...

Matt does look quite like the good fit for this character

hlgreenie

With what I've seen so far...Matt's interpretation is closer to how he was in the comics than Keanu's. Hope it stays that way. I am fine with things getting changed, but there are certain things that belong to the character and I would like to be kept. I just love his cynicism and his swearing ( and I would like them to keep him bisexual. We don't see enough bisexual character on tv. I'd be ok with them cutting out all the smoking he does )

Cadenf

Helen, I completely agree about the bisexuality as well as the smoking. Granted the swearing has to be cut, but maybe we will see some creativity with his words instead?

hlgreenie

Yeah I can live with swearing and smoking being cute as long as they have him still be his wise-ass cynic self and use some of the creative swear words they can still put it With what I've seen so far, I like the way they wrote him.
