Eric Draven - Tumblr Posts
Brandon Lee behind the scenes of The Crow (1994)
When I get a Funko Pop Figure I always get them in pairs. They seem so unnatural alone.
(Top to Bottom)
There is Destiel: Dean (gym teacher) & (Leviathan) Cass,
Snarry: Snape & Harry,
Drarry: Harry & Draco,
PLUS I like Snape/HArry/Draco together too which is why I have Harry in the middle lol,
Spideypool: Spiderman (Toby all the way for me) & Deadpool,
Hannigram: Hannibal & Will,
Johnlock: (violin) Sherlock & John Watson in a pose only a fan of the show would get lol,
The Crow & Shelly (yes I know that is Yule Ball Hermione but they don’t make Shelly so…),
and last but never least…
Cat Noir & Ladybug…plus their arch nemesis for angst lol.
So glad for Funko Figures since they let me smile every time I see them.
My funko pops needed dusting, so I decided to use the opportunity to take new pictures…which I took into Gimp and added backgrounds. So much fun! Top to Bottom: Jessie Pinkman & Walter White (Breaking Bad), Eric Draven & Shelly (The Crow), Jon McClane & Hans Gruber (die hard), Emily & Victor and Scraps (The Corpse Bride), and Jake Skellington & Sally (The Nightmare Before Christmas)
On the awakening of The Crow universe, I liked the 2024 movie. So, I went and searched for the 1994 movie.
I'm way passed the emo/goth phase the 94's movie vibe passed, but I still liked the love story and connections, specially the whole spiritual and supernatural behind both movies.
So, 94's Eric Draven makeup and personality kinda reminded me of Heath Ledger's Joker, which made me wonder if that Joker was inspired by The Crow.
Thoughts?
YEEEESSS BRANDON ""OWNS"" ERIC DRAVEN
He died acting as Eric and it's disrespectful to do a reboot. Like i said Brandon "owns" Eric, it would be ok if they tried to make a new character based on the first movie but not just take Eric and giving to another actor, I know they said that they would try to respect Brandon's memory but I don't believe it. I do not hate Bill, he's a great actor, i hate the people who thought this would be a good idea
It’s very weird to me that this is not the first time I’ve had a reason to say this: only one actor ever has or ever will really play Eric Draven.
Rebooting that role is an insult to Brandon Lee’s memory.
Rob Zombie had the sense to think better of it, so The Crow: 2037 was scrapped. The Canadian tv series Stairway to Heaven was rightfully cancelled after one season.
The movie sequels are…fine, on average. City of Angels is a slightly interesting story with something resembling a plot, and they descend in quality from there. Since they don’t feature Eric Draven as a character, but rather his successors, no big deal.
The character of Eric Draven should never have been rebooted.
And this new movie looks like it was made by people who don’t give a damn about the comics.
I don’t often hope for things to fail, but on that short list is any remake of The Crow.
I very rarely get riled up about this sort of thing, but I watched my big brother’s copy of The Crow almost every day when I was 15 & 16 years old. It means a lot to me.
“Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, and yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really.” – Brandon Lee
Watching 'The Crow' 1994 and thinking how I have now the most vibrant headcanon of how Gerry Keay must look like.
i watched the crow & god i loved this line. i know the original quote is by william thackeray but i preferred the version said in the crow.
Is it bad I find this weirdly attractive
I wish my future husband was still alive :(
