Everyone knows she’s a plank of wood but we’re not allowed to be honest about that here because she’s been installed as an idol.

She has average acting skills and isn't pleasant to look at. I don't get the love for her.

That’s funny.

I will say she acted her arse off in Euphoria though. Seems like most that hate on her haven’t seen that because there’s no arguing she’s great in that.

Sweeny out acted her in that show and that's not saying much. That show went to shite when they focused on Zendaya.

Zendaya is no different in that series than in anything else. The difference is her character is shown in an unforgiving light where as all her others are in a position to condescend to other characters so there’s an opportunity to feel some sympathy for the character. The performance is no different.

I’ve never thought she detracted from anything I’ve seen her in but I’ve never seen her command or steal a scene either.

Well in Dune 2 she was pretty distracting. Don’t know if you know the story but the things that were cut out for her to soak up screen time were interesting and important. That movie would’ve been a monster had DV done it properly.

It was focused on Zendaya from the start though and shifted to more time on Sweeney in season three though…

I’d say Zendaya was better (not hotter obviously) is seasons one and two and Sweeney was better in three.

The show isn’t that popular on here but I actually really enjoyed season three. Glad they minimized the tranny role, she was so bad in season three.

Zendaya is 10x better than Kristen Stewart. She’s awful

It's permanent scowl. She stole that acting trope from Michelle Rodriguez.

I actually did too. Felt more like a real show and not some psychedelic trip like the first two. I don’t really have an opinion about Zendaya except that she always looks sleepy.

Specify which Zendaya IMAX movie please.

Probably why the DV, not posting which movie.

My edited post was in response to his edited ETA comment.

Lighten up, Francis.

I just dont get the love. Most of her box office success was from films where shes part of the ensemble cast. When shes the focus, the numbers just arent there

Challengers - $50,119,408
The Drama - $48,062,006
Malcolm & Marie - $2,000,000

She simply didnt drive the box office for Spidey, Greatest Showman, Odyssey or Dune. Its like saying Brie Larson drove the box office for Endgame. She made mint off the star vehicle of others

Space Jam: New Legacy
Smallfoot
Greatest Showman
Dune 1 & 2
Spidey 1-4
Odyssey

Still better than permanent "I don't care, I am so bored" face

But why would it be controversial here?
Because everything is a culture war battleground between the wokes and the anti-wokes

With both saying it is the other one, and only the other one, that is ruining the board.

Zendaya is polarizing, for some reason
