I just find it a bit weird that you are being all "I am sick of hot women in bikinis being fancast for Wonder Woman with very little acting experience, I would rather have more Gal Gadot" when Gal Gadot was the exact type person you are complaining about being fancast. She was in that exact same position before she got the role. It undercuts your argument a bit.
I'm sick of fancasting "actors" without evidence, period. Gal Gadot currently has evidence, J Random Model does not. That a person might have made the same mistake in the past and lucked out, is not an excuse for making that mistake again in the present.
What evidence? Winning acting awards or at least being nominated for awards for acting?
I'll ask you a question... if an actress had lot of guest stars on known TV shows is it good enough for you?
What about if she was a main cast member on a few TV shows, you happened to never heard about... Is this enough for you?
Those would both be perfectly valid evidence, yeah. All you have to do is provide *something* that is not "Here is a picture, look, she has black hair!"
Actually, a good way to handle it: recommend whoever you want. . . without using photographs. If you can't explain why you recommend ____ using purely words and sentences, then reconsider whether they are actually a good recommendation.
And I'm allowed to propose Dua Lipa because I am all-powerful.
No offense but it's not that hard to find someone better than Gal Gadot.Well, as I've said before on these boards, casting a new WW isn't going to be as easy as alot of fans seem to think it is.
It's not gonna be impossible to find another actress who has the potential to be a good WW, but as with casting the new Superman, it's not gonna be a cake walk either .
You've got to find an actress who's at least 5'9 if not 5'10, who can evoke warmth, charm, presence , personality , can act, and will be in the right age range for a rebooted Diana.
In all likelihood, as with most castings, it's not gonna be someone brought up on these messageboards, or someone who's even on fandom's radar.
I wouldn't be surprised if she is like Carter/ Gadot in having a few, to smaller, supporting credits to her name .
No offense but it's not that hard to find someone better than Gal Gadot.
Dua Lipa... keep up.
Dua Lipa... keep up.
I just got back from Shazam 2…
I have never not enjoyed Gal in this role, but her acting in her one scene in the movie is uncomfortably awful. Like stand out bad.
Did it look like they just greenscreened her into the shot?
