Matt Ryan as Constantine <3

[esperastra]

It’s been three weeks and I still have not sorted my feelings about Legends Con. So have this random, unorganized list of things that happened that I still remember (more under the cut):

Nick tried to flash (stood on a chair and pulled up his shirt) Tala and Maisie during their panel but no one noticed him in the back

On the other hand when Arthur showed up during Caity and Jes’ panel they immediately saw him and greeted him

Caity was asked what Sara’s safe word is at the Meet&Greet and her answer was “Chiquita Banana”

When asked who they would eat first on a deserted island, pretty much everyone immediately said “Dom”

Caity and Jes kept talking about doing a podcast and asking people for stuff to talk about. Jes suggested they should just do Stabcast but Caity said she doesn’t like True Crime (which fair, I don’t either lol)

Adam said Avalance’s kid is named Rose and that Gary would be a great babysitter but he definitely would lose her at some point

At the opening ceremony Caity was like “I think the last time I said I was getting married. And I did it. *shows her ring* And Jes had our baby!”

When talking about the hardest goodbyes, Caity being Caity forgot Dom left and wasn’t even in the final season. Her answer was Franz btw.

A kid asked Amy, Caity and Jes if they would rather jump in lava or drown in water if they had to die and Jes was like “How old are you? Where is your mother?!” lmao

Jes recited the condolence card from Meet The Legends to the best of her recollection and kept laughing

Arthur kept mentioning how weird it is that all these fans and the cast are in his hometown

I could listen to Maisie talk for hours, just wanted to throw that in here

Jes was talking about how beautiful the gold dress from 502 was and Caity replied with “Anything you wear is beautiful 🥰” before Amy chimed in that she is still looking for the video of Liv and Jes laughing at Matt falling off his chair that was mentioned earlier lol

When asked about a crack ship (Rishop = Rip/Bishop) Arthur went on to talk about how he loves fanfiction lol

When asked if Nick or Matt is the better kisser Tala said “Maisie”

Adam started singing I Will Always Love You (forgot why) and Maisie left him hanging by not joining in and just smiling/laughing

Poor Matt didn’t know about the Human Centipede but now he does

Jes came up with the pick up line “I can be your legend until tomorrow” and then was like “someone try this tonight at the bar!”

On the second day Adam brought a water pistol to the panel and used it on everyone who got up to ask a question

Adam was THE hype man all weekend. He kept starting “When I say DC you say Legends of Tomorrow” chants

The fandom organized a group gift to give each cast member a trophy of the Waverider. We were allowed to present it to them at the closing ceremony.

Nick was called “Brad Pitt” during the trophy ceremony and Adam being Adam stood up instead

Amy sang Future Favorite with one of the kids at the closing ceremony

Adam said something about how he doesn’t like being emotional in front of people and everyone started chanting “SHOW EMOTIONS”

By the end of the closing ceremony everyone was super emotional. Caity was too emotional to speak when it was her turn and started crying and Jes hugged her. She said “I miss you guys” to the cast and went back for another hug. Jes was like “stop the emotions. stop the emotions” in reference to the earlier chant

A small list of some of the things that happened to me personally. I won’t share it all in detail here though, for reasons:

When I got my solo photo op with Caity, she saw my Real Housewives Sara shirt and was like “That’s funny. Can I take a picture?” and then she posted it on her IG Story

Amy spoke German to me out of nowhere when she noticed my accent. She also called me back during our photo op to ask me how I was and if I slept alright.

Jes gave me this 🥺 look when I talked to her at the autograph table

Nick held my hand for like a minute which was super overwhelming especially cause I struggle with eye contact lol. He also kept lovingly teasing me the whole weekend.

Me and a bunch of people did the 709 costumes as cosplay and won ‘Best Group’. It was a lot of fun.

s2 spn said ultimately the film industry is silly and stupid and insincere BUT we have a lot of fun here and there's something charming and real under the surface of all the unreality. when we walk off into the sunset the sunset is fake but the feeling is still pretty damn good

s6 spn said ultimately film and tv industry is bullshit! and only assholes and idiots work here and if they all got sliced to ribbons or made fun of in real life we could not care less. if the author is dead, and the performers are nothing, then why are any of us still here???

[spacetimegirls]

i’d like to give a (very late) shoutout to tala ashe for her ability to play two versions of the same character who are so distinctly different, while still marinating the similarities between them

Who should play Booster Gold in the DCU?

One of my favorite characters recently announced to debut in the upcoming DCU is Booster Gold.

Booster Gold is a time-traveling idiot from the future who is pretending to be a superhero for personal gain. He is not an inherently heroic character. "The superhero story of imposter syndrome" is how the character and television show is described by James Gunn, and I am beyond excited to see what this take can be.

While I think there are a number of different ways you can go with the character, I have had a couple of ideas swirling in my head forever as to how cast him, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I love my number one pick, but I think I have two guys who could also get the job done very well.

So as always, let's start by answering a few questions:

Are there any live action past Booster Golds we can pull from?

Surprisingly, yes.

There are two live action Boosters to my knowledge, and neither is half bad.

Eric Martsolf portrayed the character in the tenth season of Smallville. He was cocky, impulsive, and was always looking to the camera. While he was a little on the nose, it was a fun take making a pretty fun episode in my opinion.

I think Martsolf playing of the hero is key. We need someone who almost feels like a classic hero but not quite. Something needs to be a little off, like Mysterio in Far From Home.

Donald Faison appeared in the final episode of Legends of Tomorrow as Booster Gold. While we don't get a lot of him, he's silly, sketchy, and having a lot of fun. Faison does not play Booster as an idiot, more of an on the fly fixer intelligence, like Star-Lord.

I think having somewhere inbetween bumbling idiot and competent is where Booster can shine. While both play into the charm and goofiness, neither of these play into the self-loathing this character can and should be able to get to.

Any other stipulations?

I'd like the DCU Booster Gold to be able to team up with Jaime, our Blue Beetle, to make up the team Blue and Gold. Someone who can play on a team well would be good.

I'd like him to feel a little older than Superman but not by much. 30s-40s is good by me.

Actors known for playing losers and comedic side characters is essential, but also who can lead a franchise and go to sad vulnerable places.

While Booster is often portrayed as white, anyone can be able to take on the role I believe.

Blonde would be great but we can always dye it.

As always, not looking for people who have played or are known for playing superheroes already, at least in live action.

Let's get into it:

3. Darren Criss

Known for roles in Glee, American Crime Story, and Hollywood, Darren Criss is phenomenal.

While he can be the smoothest guy in the room, charming and talented, in American Crime Story he did play a pathetic liar who spirals from his lies that get too out of control.

You can throw a stone and find a fan of Darren Criss. It also helps that he is not a stranger to the DCU. He currently voices Superman in the Tomorrowverse, and he was the villain of one of the best Arrowverse crossovers as the Music Meister.

Criss also starred in Hollywood with the DCUs Superman, David Corenswet, which means they already have chemistry.

I think Darren has all the right tools for the job and can make an excellent Booster. My main concern with him is that he may be too likable. We want someone who can be a little sleazy. Even when Darren is a psychopath, it's hard not to like him. But I think he'd have it in the bag.

2. Josh Hutcherson

The more I think about this one, the more I like it.

Known for roles in Hunger Games, Future Man, and The Disaster Artist, Hutcherson has the type of career I really want from a Booster.

In Future Man he plays a time traveling loser who needs to save the world, check.

In Hunger Games, he plays an emotional sad sack who really isn't that great at saving the world so he needs to depend on and learn from others, check check.

In Disaster Artist he plays a goofy side character, check check check.

It's Golden! (get it?)

Hutcherson also has a genuineness that the others don't, which could make for an excellent reveal when he isn't the hero everyone thinks he is.

Hutcherson also is built and looks like a normal dude, which really is a draw for me for Booster. I don't think Booster should be a chiseled god, he should feel like a guy playing dress up who learns the game.

I think this role is Hutchersons to lose and would love to see him do it. But my last pick is a dream that while likely never happen.

1. Bo Burnham

Okay hold on a second. What?

While Burnham is known for his various amazing stand-up specials, Burnham is a very accomplished actor and writer.

Known for roles in Promising Young Woman, Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous and The Big Sick, Burnham gonna do anything from sinister, leading man, love interest, and comedic side character. All aspects of Booster we need.

In Zach Stone, he plays a loser wanting desperately to be famous, Booster to a T. He can do charming, comedy, and drama. This is most apparent in his comedy specials but I think those aspects of his specials, specifically Inside, can transfer perfectly to Booster.

Burnham also has written and directed Eight Grade, a phenomenal directorial debut. The film tackles an awkward girls last year before freshman year. It is a funny, honest, and at times cringey film with heart to spare.

Burnham knows how to write, direct, and act an amazing mix of comedy, heart, and pain. So I am not only pitching Bo Burnham star in this show.

Burnham should write and direct as well.

I think Burnham could write an amazing story about Booster Gold while simultaneously dissecting superhero media and our attachment to it. I know he is also frustrated with the slew of Marvel films coming out, and perhaps him writing and starring in one where he has creative control could get those problems with it off his chest.

Or maybe he doesn't want to do any superhero movies, which is kind of understandable.

I know its a very out there dream, but Bo Burnham writing, directing and starring as Booster Gold would be my dream project.

Let's just hope he's not too busy with Girl Socko to do it.
