Major, if this thread is intended to only be for the 40s depiction of Carter and not a comprehensive look at the character as he's evolved, you're pretty much going to be the only one posting here. I like even the yellow sock mask Carter but it's fair game to discuss excitement for the actor about to portray him in live action taking the role seriously and building the physique Hawkman's design emphasizes.
I understand you prefer the earlier incarnations (along with Roy Thomas's work) but if this is going to be a discussion about Carter Hall, then Aldis Hodge is absolutely fair game to discuss as is Michael Shanks and every other actor who has portrayed him in his limited forays into other media.
The title of this thread isGolden Age Hawkman (Carter Hall / Prince Khufu) Appreciation 2021and as I said previously:as well So I think I made it pretty clear what this thread was about.
If you want to discuss actors who may eventually be seen portraying a character that's sort of related to a comic book version of a character, but isn't yet seen in a costume or anything related to the character, would it be that difficult to create a new thread for the movie version?Hell, we don't even know how much of a part he'll eventually play in any final cut of the Black Adam movie, which has was first mentioned how many years ago? And have they even started shooting the damn thing?
Aldis Hodge shared some time ago in his instagram his reading material for the character and it was obvious to be the version of Carter the he will protray, so yes, I think that people should have the right to speak in this thread about the actor and his preparation, both in character and phisical for Carter Hall, aka Hawkman.
it feels like your being purposely obtuse. Hodge isn't sorta kinda maybe tangentially portraying golden age Carter, he's literally portraying JSA Carter Hall, reincarnated from Prince Khufu, based on JSA/Golden Age comics. you yourself said you're including Geoff Johns' take on Carter (with Hodge is directly adapting), so you can't exactly have it both ways and say your exclusively talking about literal golden age (1940s) Carter at that point; that's nonsensical. If you wanna talk about 1940s comic book reincarnated as a white man Hawkman exclusively and specifically, that's fine, but just say that. however if it's an appreciation thread for the the character of Hawkman/Carter Hall, as established in the Golden Age, then i don't see how you can fault people for appreciating the character getting adapted considering (again) that's the character Hodge is prepping for and portraying.
maybe it would just be easier to have the mods change the title from Golden Age Hawkman appreciation to whichever specific time period you're looking to appreciate (like 1940 to 19whatever Hawkman appreciation).

You opened it up for ambiguity when you strayed into the Geoff Johns era. I understand that he was based off of the golden age as you explained in the secret files, but I can also see where others would think any modern incarnation of Carter Hall would fit that billing.
Also, now the character has as many threads as he does lives and incarnations.
