question for both SFP and SEK

SFP - if it turns out she is dressed like this (or similarly) for the majority of the movie, regardless of climate, will you come back and acknowledge you were wrong?

SEK - if it turns out she is in daisy dukes and a tight top with her titties hanging out for the rest of the movie, will you come back and acknowledge YOU were wrong?

Bc there is no commentary in the OP. It may have been deleted already.

Ignoring how he chose pictures with the hijab in OP, don't limit yourself to this framing, especially when he makes it clear

Sophie Turner has to have some dirt on someone at Amazon right? She's the lead in some new show on Amazon right now and Tomb Raider.

I think she's pretty but not a great actress deserving of leads in major shows. If you looked at the main Game of Thrones cast, she was by far the worst actress of all the main characters.

Not to be that guy and it’s coming off as me stanning for this woman, but what does her divorcing her husband have to do with casting her in a movie?

Unless she is mentally unstable and can’t reliably be on set, who gives a shite?

Maybe she’s a shitty fricking person, but lots of shitty people get hired in Hollywood and across corporate America.

If you think she sucks as an actress, I don’t think I’ll disagree, but I just don’t understand the other nonsense.

She’s a bad cast for Lara Croft.

Doesn’t fit the aesthetics or physicality.

Besides GoT & garbage as Jean Grey , what’s she done to earn her such a role?

She’s not as bad as Ezra Miller (Flash) but it’s not a good look.

She’s still got an iconic look.

But keep up the contrarian game.

Exactly this. I would argue Sansa Stark and Jean Grey are more "prestigious" roles than a video game character.

I'm not a huge fan of Sophie Turner.

It felt like she regressed on GoT as an actress. Originally I just presumed that the writing had gotten worse, but then I saw her in the X-Men movies and I just don't see the appeal anymore.

She was fine. But if you compared her to all the other main cast members, you'd be hard pressed to name one that she is a better actress than.

Not calling her unattractive. She's quite fine. But her features and (to date) acting doesn't lend itself to making for a convincing Lara Croft. Because we've seen enough versions of her to have a basic concept of her character.

If she pulls it off and I'm forced to apologize, so be it.

Oh now it’s the framing, not the commentary.

You’re looking for a reason to be outraged! You, of all people!

It’s really this simple. I don’t need to know the weather patterns of northern forests to see that this is bad casting.

If it turns out to be a great movie then great. But we already know from the source material what Lara Croft is supposed to look like, and we can see with our own lying eyes that Sophie Turner doesn’t fit the look.

And see? We don’t only get mad about race swaps. We just want good casting even when it’s white folk involved.

We're supposed to be celebrating a ginger as the star in a series or movie, but now we don't get to.

No the framing is what you did, to try to ignore the commentary.

Uh..no.

Are you finally going to stop ignoring the commentary?
