kek I miss when he spent all day online coping about Black Adam numbers

>>18990942
karma for double-handedly ruining and sabotaging John Cena's retirement run

>>18990942
Cody crybabies won't give up until Rock's career is done

>>18990942
Do you think he's gonna have a mental breakdown after it doesn't win any oscars?

>>18990942
Isn't it actually one of his better movies?

>>18991096
>It's Cody's fault the movie bombed
Really?

>>18990942
>Commitment to completely disappear and go elsewhere
Is he talking about what he did immediately after making all the big storylines center around him?

He's literally split his paycheck to pay other people more. This movie wasn't about money for Dwayne.

>>18991140
>This is a passion project
>Also I'm going to need to be paid 50 million dollars so this movie will bomb at the box office

You see, it's kind of like my Final Boss character that I play in the sports entertainment industry. When you think about feature films, each character undergoes a metamorphosis—an evolution, if you will. Just like how The Final Boss stands at the pinnacle of the wrestling world, epitomizing strength, resilience, and the complete overthrow of mediocrity. This parallels arcs we see in cinema. In professional wrestling, sports entertainment, every match is an act—nay, a chapter—of a grand narrative. When I step into that ring, it's like I’m playing my own movie, where I AM the protagonist, facing adversaries both literal and metaphorical. Imagine the lighting, the score, the dramatic pauses; it’s nothing short of an Oscar-worthy performance, but we can't get that respect in our business. It's kind of like when I was in high school. Anyways, I just went to Five Guys and got a big burger, American style. So, uh, next time you're watching a film, remember that the intricate dance of the narrative is just as vital in the ring. I’m not just wrestling; I’m storytelling at its finest. It’s Shakespearean, it’s epic, and it’s yours truly serving it up with a side of electrifying charisma! Stay strong and keep rocking your own narratives, because every one of you is the hero in your own blockbuster!

Rock on!

>good critic ratings are more important than drawing money
Dwayne Johnson is All Elite.

>>18991161
worked for smith with "ali"

>>18990943
And Baywatch before that.

>>18990943
He was arguing with critics on Twitter when Baywatch flopped

Imagine the seethe when Street Fighter is a hit lol

>>18991176
That actually hurt, well done.

>>18990942
>In our storytelling world, you can't control box office results
But you can make a movie people want to see

>>18990942
Dwayne fumbled the box office again.

When did Duane become such a bitch?

>>18992304
May 2, 1972

>>18991940
Dwayne is NOT gonna like when Cody wins an Oscar for his portrayal of Guile in the movie and best SFX for his shoot Sonic Boom.

>Budget: $50 million
>Box office: $6 million
How

Dwaynetty has always been an antidimes faggot. Go listen back to any promo of his and all he will be talking about is how much he wants to stick things into other men's asses.

>>18990942
>Finally decides to act seriously for once
>Biggest box office bomb of the year
>Currently set to earn less than the limited release Kpop Demon Hunters schlop
Lmao!

>>18991176
you forgot to shill your coconut garbage products

>>18992476
You forgot the part in which he had that medical heart scare after getting so juiced up to the gills to play the role

>>18990942
>Naked Gun is a success with Cody and Batista in it
>Stone Cold still got some good movies, mainly funny comedies
>John Cena is having the best acting of his life RN even if its under a pedo groomer who is trying to marvelize DC
>The rock is still sucking cocks and failing because his ego is his doom, and Black Adam failed because the brains behind DC's 2 big blockbusters(Aquaman and Shazam) was always Geoff Johns.

THE SHITTY STATE OF DWANETTY!

>>18992673
Wait, Codeman and Tista are in Naked Gun??

>>18991176

>>18990942

>kwab roles, never a draw
>finally realizes it was always about performance afterall
>best at performing in the ring
>wasted it all
>kwab

>>18991140
I'm way more cynical than that. It's always about money and status with Dwayne. He's just playing the long game here. Let me explain.
>Dwayne has had several flops recently
>His star is just beginning to fade anyway, and he knows this
>Decides to do "Le serious Oscar movie"
>But only doing so because he knows this could artificially prolong his career and paychecks should he win any major awards
In short: it pays more to have "Oscar Winning Actor" beside your name on a poster.

>>18992886
yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYRglfZl74U

>>18992928
Don't forget in his Young Rock series he envisions himself as future President of the USA

>>18992385
The answer is Dwayne, people do not want to see him in movies anymore

>>18992928
He really is just a fake plastic man that can't understand anything beyond other people's perception of it. He didn't make Smashing Machine because he had a passion for it, he did it because people tell him he can't act so he did a "serious" movie

it took this nigga 20 years in hollywood to realize that some actors can actually act instead of just playing themselves every time

>>18990942
>radical empathy
faggot

>>18990942
It's his first time making a bad movie

You know he's going to make a holocaust movie if this crap doesn't get him an oscar nomination. He is completely lost. Crying all the time from the testosterone crash.

>>18993315
I remember after Black Adam bombed he went into the woods to record a video where he was just ranting about complete nonsense, like being a 65 million year dinosaur or something. That movie broke something in him and he hasn't been the same since

>>18990942
CODY!! MY BOY!!

Is he good in it or what? If he is there will be other cool projects for him.
