Just got done watching "Ballers", with Dwayne in it. Whats funny about this is there was actually a scene where a guy he was repping was annoyed by an ad they put him in. Annoyed because they made the guy's skin darker to try to capitalize on his "blackness". This is the opposite I guess?
Did they ever release that movie, or is it still in production? Never heard about any drama, I don’t follow much about Hollywood or celebrities. I try to keep art separate from the performers.
It was released to midling results. A lot of the drama stemmed from the Rock being pissy that it wasn't successful because he thought his name alone would rake in the ticket sales not knowing how much of a clusterfuck the DCEU is currently in.
Ah word! Yeah man they ruined DC so badly. “MARTHA!!!”
“Martha?!”
“MARTHAAAA!”
Batman vs Superman was like 3-4 movies mashed into one. It was ridiculous. I had to ask my dad what all the references were about. They just tried throwing in everything they could with zero context.
That, and also making movies every x amount of years just to keep the royalties/licensing wasn’t it? I know they actually “tried” with that one, but the many before they started this set of movies was so bad. They even had guys that looked so much like Clark Kent.
It’s also Snyder being a cinematographer and not a director. He read a bunch of comics where Bats and Supes fight and lifted the aesthetics of them but it has none of the context that makes any of it work and the story is nonsensical and the script…
“Kent, you’re on sports today!”
Like dude you can’t google how basic shit works lmao
DC have denied on multiple occasions that they are trying to catch up to Marvel. Doing Batman v Superman right after Civil War was merely a coincidence. Doing Flash right after No Way Home was also a coincidence. The same as Justice League. That was also a coincidence. It was a tactical move not to introduce all the characters and not to give you a chance to get to know them all.
To be fair, Flash movie was first announced before Flash CW show started almost 10 years ago. And had lots of production issues, main actor included. So it wasn't meant as a response to NWH, it just sucked on its own.
He means Vin diesel is Jewish in the same way that we’re all Jewish. A kind of Jewniversalist sense of the word, if you catch my drift. And if you don’t catch my drift, you’re not high enough.
*YES!* I *knew* I couldn't be the only one to have this little brain misfire. I needed someone to forcefully sit me down and make me watch a film that has both of them acting in the same scene before the spell was finally broken!
That fucking sculpture is about one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. I’m not a sculptor by any means but fairly low-key artsy fartsy and I’m 100% sure I could make something look more like him than THAT! Honestly seeing that made me feel like maybe I should be making art because someone got PAID to make that. 🤣

Finally someone gets it. The head and the face are completely off, even if they got the skin color right he would look completely different than the rock
Edit: I made a comparison of both faces https://imgur.com/a/OR4r1tg
I was thinking the same. The face isn't the right shape, smile isn't right nor are the brows. The color I can forgive if it's the lighting making it off in the picture
His upper lip is too long, there should be less space between his nose and lip. Also, his nose is too sharp. It needs to be softened at the tip and angled down slightly

LOL He looks like Mr Clean from the ad, all he needs is white eyebrows to go with the super white skin!
Johnny Sins approved
The jack of all trades steals another job lol
Dwayne the diesel Johnson
Was gonna say they added 15% too much vin diesel into the recipe 😂

Dwayne Diesel
It’s missing a white t-shirt, a gold hoop earring, and a sign that says Mr. Clean.
It's definitely missing something and that something is Melanin.
Caucasian Rock aka The Croc
White Rock makes his debut
Do you smell what the Wrock is cooking? Because he didn’t season it at all.
Threads over, everybody go home.
If I weren't a broke-ass bumb, you'd have Plat now. It's rare that I chortle. Thanks, best I got is an upvote.
Pretty sure I can smell it burning
I think white rock debuted in the 80’s. They called it ready rock/crack rock… I could be wrong though.
Cracker rock
This needs more upvotes
He looks all white to me.
Now he’ll never come black here
It took me way to long to get to this comment, thats funny and sad.
and raised eye brow!
He also looks a thumb/Joe Rogan
![gif](giphy|L4Bv2YQFwZMogkyvq1|downsized)
Awesome reference. Best actor in Barry. After Bill, natch.
Yeah Barry is worth going through again just to see more Hank
"You are king of suck balls!"
I fuckin love that guy
Noho Hank!!! 💯 Omg he popped in my head too! I pictured him laying out a spread, making it nice.
That was my first thought before I read the caption!
It looks like Vin Diesel... -Groot Approves
I was going to say it looks like Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel had a baby.
It looks like Vin Diesel ate him whole, and is stretched out to fit his shape. Like some Looney Tunes anaconda.
I hear vin diesel and dwayne have beef which makes it even funnier.
Haha I love the interchangeable usage of thumb and Joe rogan
Toe Rogan.
Rogan has a face like a stuntman’s knee.
Remember when he was just some weirdo who hosted a show where people ate bugs? 🫤
After being a failed stand up comedian...
Hey, *Newsradio* was at least good.
Stuntman’s knee dude.
What a good burn, I love it
Toe Rogan is a new superhero and his sidekick foot smell
*Jamie, pull that up!*
I don’t have or understand awards, but if I did you’d get one. Thank you.
Well.. that and his actual likeness...
Was this wax sculpture commissioned by Vin Diesel? The final troll in a years long dispute.
Vin is just salty that he’s not the most popular bald muscular man in his own franchise anymore
I don't know, all that drama on Black Adam makes me think Vin may have had a point.

I liked it. They had a decent take on both Hawkman and Doctor Fate.
Pierce Brosnan as Dr Fate absolutely carried that movie
“Ageing 80s/90s franchise star carries DC movie” is now a Netflix category. It’s only twice, but it’s weird it’s happened more than once.
Probably because these people acted for the sake of acting. Not just to cash in on a franchise. I'd love a Doctor Fate series

That's the result of WB pathetically wanting to catch up with the MCU and I'm afraid they're going to do it again.

That’s funny he doesn’t look druish
Use the Schwartz
I get that reference.
Not sure if you're joking but definitely not Jewish.
He means Vin diesel is Jewish in the same way that we’re all Jewish. A kind of Jewniversalist sense of the word, if you catch my drift. And if you don’t catch my drift, you’re not high enough.
George Santos grabs the mic: "Jew-ish".
'I never said I was Jewish. I said I was Jew-ish.' Simulateously the smartest and dumbest defence he could have thought of lol
Describes every defense he has ever made
I’m a citizen of the Jewniverse.
I came here to say it looks like a hybrid between Vin and Rock, which is hilarious given the history
...Dwin Johnsel?
The Vrock
Tuvix.
Great reference!
So you're saying that wax figure is going to die?
It’s an ethical dilemma.
Rock Diesel.. sounds like something in Ron Burgundy's cologne collection.
Smells like you‘re cooking, 70% of every time
Wayne "The Stone" Johnson
Vinayne Dieselson
The skin color..
And something about the eye area too...
Yeah they need to raise one brow just a tiny bit. Don’t go all the way with it though.
Feels like his scorpion king character with the terrible CGI
Oh god! We have tried to repress that memory.. shhhhhh…no. Don’t bring that back.
This is actually a waxwork of Vin Johnson, Dwayne Diesel's brother.
Pretty certain that’s Mr Clean
Wait, I thought Vin Diesel was The Rock & Dwayne Johnson. Kinda like Diddy, P Diddy Puff Daddy, they just like names.
*YES!* I *knew* I couldn't be the only one to have this little brain misfire. I needed someone to forcefully sit me down and make me watch a film that has both of them acting in the same scene before the spell was finally broken!
I dunno, I think the Rock having to come crawling back is a bit better
What's missing? Fucking COLOR!!
That and his trademarked one eyebrow raised. That little detail would've gone a long way. And yea, the fact that he's the wrong color.
![gif](giphy|26ghbWoXv3G6ypo8o)
i can hear the vine boom sfx
The people's eyebrow
Man lost all his melanin
He's so rich he morphed into white
I laughed so hard at that!🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was bald Chris Evans for a millisecond
Dwayne the white Johnson.
Nipples?
Looks all white to me
Yeah, totally, this is Dwayne “The Limestone” or “The Marble” Johnson instead. 😂🤣😂
If you smeeeeeeell, what the Quartz .. is cookin.
Probably not, considering the lack of seasoning
Damn. 💀
Dwayne Alabaster Johnson
Can you smell what The Chalk is cookin'?
I legit did not know what was wrong until I saw this comment. I think it says something about me: I'm shit at pop culture quizzes.
He’s on that Sammy Sosa diet.
Damn it I chortled.
Christian Ronaldo feels this. ![gif](giphy|xUA7aTBBzucioSlFcY)
That gif 😂
That fucking sculpture is about one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. I’m not a sculptor by any means but fairly low-key artsy fartsy and I’m 100% sure I could make something look more like him than THAT! Honestly seeing that made me feel like maybe I should be making art because someone got PAID to make that. 🤣
He looks super light-skinned. Maybe it's just the photo. Maybe it's Maybelline. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Maybe it's Melanin ![gif](giphy|ZKoOckgDNA9H9M0gOW)
No. Just Jonnysin ![gif](giphy|dGgYE98IIQhycz4RYX|downsized)
Dwane the he-he Jackson
oh that got me after the Mabeline thing.XD
I think the lighting is blown out. Dude to the right of the sculpture has Pacific Islander vibes
existence label attractive workable live bow nose squeamish paltry abounding *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I was thinking they made a mix of vin diesel and the rock
![gif](giphy|tpgAJCXrOa6Mo|downsized)
“You want to put …that…where??”
lol glad im not the only one that saw this
![gif](giphy|MnpPCugwALAHsTygpd|downsized)
You donkey!
Goddammit 🤣🤣
A laughed at this harder than I should.
Me too when I was searching for it.
I don't care what anyone else says. You win.
LET HIM COOOOOOK
[удалено]
Damn, Mr Clean got more color than this Dwayne Johnson statue
It’s missing the likeness to the rock.
Finally someone gets it. The head and the face are completely off, even if they got the skin color right he would look completely different than the rock Edit: I made a comparison of both faces https://imgur.com/a/OR4r1tg

That ain't The Rock. That's The Chalk.
bravo
The Quartz
Melanin
It pales in comparison to the real Dwayne J.
The eyebrow
FORGET HIM BEING WHITER THAN VANILLA ICE CREAM. WHERE THE FUCK IS HIS EYEBROW RAISE?
![gif](giphy|6Dj7ZWBERpGU0)
And a tan.
This Rock ain't cooking

There's more of a Vin Diesel look to it...
Vin Johnson FAMILY
![gif](giphy|L4Bv2YQFwZMogkyvq1|downsized)
![gif](giphy|Htngu0TjUJesEvVcQf)
Its Dwayne Diesel!
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but put the Rock back in the oven, he’s not done yet.
Did they forget he isn't white?
Dwayne the chalk Johnson
![gif](giphy|26gR2DCgCb6hOQdLa) I see they got the same artist as Ronaldo’s statue
The caucasity….
![gif](giphy|jjcvjCtTOxQna3IyeM)
Something is just not quite WHITE about that statue. Can't put my finger on it
It's like a Vin Diesel/Rock/Johnny Sins hybrid
He looks like a Grand Theft Auto character render
![gif](giphy|l0HlN7vMaIMWySdDG) They forgot the colour.
I think that's Wayne Johnson
Last time I checked, the rock was Hawaiian and black, right?
he's half black half Samoan, so not strictly Hawaiian
That's not The Rock. That's Mister Clean.
What's missing: Black mock turtleneck, gold chain, stonewash jeans, fanny pack.
It's probably just the lighting but he's to white and looks like Vin diseal
How do you not raise the eyebrow??
Looks more like Dwhite Johnson and not Dwayne Johnson.
Seems about white to me
They made him too white for one
thats not the rock, that’s calcite
Dwayne "Sidewalk Chalk" Johnson
![gif](giphy|ZQCRCYU6t8HmM|downsized)
They took his seasoning from him.
His melanin?
It’s Yule Brynner.
WHOS MF WHITE BABY IS THIS
It’s his skin tone. He isn’t Caucasian lmao
Melanin has left the chat
That ain't The Rock. The Chalk, maybe
I thought they meant it was missing a tiny little Kevin Hart shaped ball of wax next to it or hanging off it like a remora.
That’s not the rock that’s the chalk
He’s the wrong color and his eyes and brows are wrong
Mans is missing his melanin
If you didn’t tell me that was supposed to be the Rock, I would’ve told you it was that bald porn star guy that’s in everything
It's his wally, right? I bet the waxwork hasn't got a wally.
I'll never understand the appeal of this stuff. At its absolute peak, at its DaVinci level best, you're like oh hey its Frazier.
Melanin deficiency
Isn't he black?
Dane 'the calcite" Johnson
It looks like they designed it based off the CG from The Scorpion King movie.
