Did Christopher Nolan really cast Zendaya as Athena?

Say what you want, but this type of shite didn't happen when actresses had to sleep with Harvey Weinstein first.

Real talk: Zendaya likely has a more similar skin tone to ancient Greeks than Matt Damon

Skintone aside, Greeks didn't have flat noses and round faces.

I don't even care about that part. I just think she's horrible in every movie she is in and is definitely not Greek goddess worthy.

Unlikely

People misunderstand what "ruddy" meant in ancient Greece.

But Zendaya is racially ambiguous looking. She could lay a role from almost anywhere. She has decent chops

Unfortunately she also has the figure of a prepubescent boy

She's an "it" girl for the yutes. She's blowing up again right now b/c of season 3 of Euphoria, based on what I see online

I mean, there's a reason why Paris gave the Golden Apple to Aphrodite. Athena just ain't that attractive.

Patel is a very good actor

Kept my eye on him since Yesterday, which was better than it had any right to be largely because of his performance

I get hating on Zendaya's looks, I don't find her to be very attractive, but it's ridiculous to hate on her acting. She's a very good actress.

Elliiot Page

Elliot Page aside, that's a great cast.

She is a horrible actress.

The only one in the cast I really can't stand is John Leguizamo

She ruins every Dune scene she is in. Maybe it's her facial expressions but some of her scenes make me laugh when they aren't supposed to.

Its all manufactured popularity and not organic popularity. The studios and talent agencies put a lot into making their product desirable and trying to impant the idea that Zendaya is some special figure (shes not).

Disgraceful casting. Not a single Greek to be found.

I was rethinking if I was off when a few people in this thread said she's great. Glad I am not the only one who sees she sucks.
