No, I wasn't saying that.

I am laughing at him calling two objectively beautiful women "semi- attractive"



Oh i know, mine was directed at him as well, I just piggybacked off of yours

As beautiful as she is...she's 5'7. Way too short. She's just physically wrong for the role. 5'10 is the floor here.


Eh. Tom Cruise is only 5' 7", and they use tricks all the time to make him taller. They could easily do that for her.

Have you even seen Arjona in anything? She was fantastic in Andor, Blink Twice, and Hitman.

Comparing her acting to Gal Gadot is like comparing Dakota Johnson to Meryl Streep.

I mean James Gunn is trying to build a similarly structured to Marvel universe here and wonder woman is a cornerstone of DC. So you’re gonna need this actress to act

She was hot in blink twice. She wasn’t good in blink twice.

Was anyone? Channing Tatum or Alia Shawkat? Geena Davis or Kyle MacLachlan?

All people who've been very good who were not good in Blink Twice. Also, her performance in it was better than those of all those other good actors.

She has been very good in Good Omens and Irma Vep. She was great in Andor. She was exceptional in Hit Man. If she's physically right for the part, I'm pretty sure she can handle the "acting" part of the WW equation.

Disagree. She was arguably the best actor in that movie.

BvS and WW she was amazing.


No she wasn't. BvS was mediocre at best, and she was a side character. WW was a solid movie in spite of her, but it doesn't quite hold up on multiple rewatches. Her acting just gets more noticeably wooden.

And are we saying that Adria Arjona can't act? Because she was very good in Andor.


She was also good in Blink Twice. She’d probably be great in the role.

I know it’s kind of turned into a forgotten thing but can she do the physical acting required for the role? I like her in everything she’s been in and she’s a beauty but even with the ton of CGI slop this universe will no doubt be, it still always looks bad when the actor/actress is goofy or uncoordinated trying to play physical parts.

She looks fairly well built to me. I don’t think she’d have an issue with the physicality
