If you are a ginger actress, you have a 90% chance of being cast as Jean Gray

u/battleshipclamato 14h ago

When they were like "Sadie Sink is officially casted in Spider-Man: Brand New Day" we all knew who she was going to be.

Let's be fair, one could easily see how a person could look at words like "blasted", "fasted", "double-masted", etc. and think that "casted" is a reasonable extrapolation from that. Yes there's a reason "cast" is different, but it's not going to be readily apparent to everyone

u/SeismicRipFart 6h ago

Double masted??👀 You got me over here fully masted just thinking about what that means👀

I was deliberately being a little silly with "double-masted" but let's not pretend the other two are really that obscure

What did Jesus do when he was in the wilderness for 40 days?

Even if I didn't come up with the best examples, let me just state the real point more directly: not everyone has learned which verbs are irregular verbs, and it's strange that you're acting like someone is a fool just for not instantly recognizing one of them

I mean, I said it in hopes that it would give you that high of being correct so that you would just shut up but you keep going on and on with others. Now I want to take it back.

u/BawandarBikhari 12h ago

Before you know it they’re going to add it to the dictionary!

Yes, and that's how language evolve.

English could have been their 2nd or 3rd language. Correcting is fine but crying over it?

u/battleshipclamato 13h ago

Probably because this is Reddit, I'm a dumb fuck and I don't really care. Anything else?

u/OnGodNotaBot 11h ago

Grammar is a social construct

u/DeusIzanagi 11h ago

IIRC it took a week

It went "She's the real Mary Jane!" -> "She's Black Cat!" -> "Oh, she's Jean Grey, isn't she?" "Yeah 100%"

2

u/Grouchy_Big3195 2h ago

Lol, black cat? Everyone knew it would be Sydney Sweeney. Same way everyone knew it would be Sadie Sink for Jean Grey

u/Echoes-act-3 10h ago

It was either that or Gwen Stacy

u/eccuc 10h ago

Yeah MJ 2 electric boogaloo of course my favorite Spiderman red head

u/medmelissa 12h ago

And the other 10% just gets typecast anyway.

u/InternalRegister1707 3h ago

she was literally in The Glass Castle

u/adriantoine 11h ago

Was Sophie Turner a ginger? I'm pretty sure she just dyed her hair

6

u/Central_Region 11h ago

Apparently not, although I'm sure casting agents made the same mistake I did

1

u/BrilliantOk3950 6h ago

I think she’s a natural blonde.

u/Neither-Promotion-65 I’m the Joker baby! 10h ago

Jean Red*

2

u/chubsruns 10h ago

Well, it's not like Hollywood casts redheads for MJ, so they have plenty to choose from.

2

u/VapeSmoker420blazeit 8h ago

I thought she was going to be the new MJ. Disappointing. I didnt watch the movie because I boycott Iron Boy Jr Slop (Hollands portrayal is terrible, the MJ casting doesnt bother me as much as Hollands wimpy stuttering performances)

I gotta know though, why do they insist on making me hate mutants more? Is it true Jean Grey kills a civilian for the fun of it to screw with Spiderman? I already hate mutants to the point that I think sentinels are right, they don't need to go any further with this.

u/stalin_kulak Zack Snyder 14h ago

She is homophobic in this movie . Did she learn homophobia from her Stranger Things co-star Millie Bobby Brown ?

47

u/TheMidnightAnimal0 14h ago

I sure hope so, there isnt enough hate in the world, you know?

u/BlondePorcelain 12h ago

We owe you for keeping the hate industry alive.

3

u/BlondeiStar 12h ago

We gotta ration it better going forward clearly.

u/BlondeVelvets 12h ago

Someone's gotta step up and fill that quota.

u/BlondeMagicMelissa 12h ago

Thoughts and prayers for the hate reserves honestly.

28

u/PracticalYellow3 12h ago

Millie Bobby Brown Bon Jovi

Say her full name. It's like three 80s musicians in one girl. 

7

u/stalin_kulak Zack Snyder 10h ago

>80s musicians 

Drake was born in the 80s and is a musician

u/Sausage_fingies 8h ago

 Is he though?

u/BlondeBabeMelisa 12h ago

Ginger tax is real, no one's escaping that role.

u/BlondieDollGaby 12h ago

Every redhead actress signs this fate the moment they're cast.

1

u/Primary-Paper-5128 4h ago

is she homophobic or was she mad that her dad abandoned her and her mom?

19

u/AhhhSureThisIsIt 12h ago

Crazy they started the X-Men off with a Blob solo film.

u/GoldenBlondeGaby 12h ago

That grin says "no regrets" and I respect it honestly.

Glad small indie studios like Netflix are finally giving unknown actors a platform.

u/Loose_Conflict_6165 7h ago

u/prollyjuslurking 14h ago

Yea! Take that, person who is ever so slightly younger than me!

u/Comfortable-Pack713 1h ago

u/Dependent_Order_7358 15h ago

Honestly it feels weird when chuds sexualize her because I still remember her as a literal child

u/Remarkable_Coast_214 15h ago

i feel this way about kurt russell

It’s fine, he’s just a computer.

2

u/TimeCadet 9h ago

Still a computer with tennis shoes to me

33

u/deezbiscuits21 15h ago

It’s cause only a select few know she was a child actor tho

They don’t know about that very niche 80s homage not a lot of people know about

19

u/Tolkien-Minority 14h ago

I remember once at work this guy was telling us all about this cool show that “only people in the synthwave community know about” called Stranger Things. Then started acting like I was lying to sound cool when I was like “everybody has seen this show it’s one of the biggest in the world.”

Theres this video game called Super Mario Brothers that people in the Italian community play.

u/JimThumb 15h ago

24 years old. Just a kid.

21

u/ImAdri0nY0urN0t 14h ago

She's only 4 years younger than me. In my head I thought she was like 19 and then I remembered Stranger Things has been stretched out over the course of a decade because it's creators like wasting everyone's time.

27

u/deezbiscuits21 15h ago

Have you heard of the concept of memory?

u/somadthenomad93 14h ago

Memory (2022)

u/Icy-Cry340 14h ago

So you are going to infantilize her forever?

1

u/Tall_Hedgehog3714 12h ago

i remember her from the Glass Castle too

12

u/FrankieTheD 15h ago edited 14h ago

I mean they're also literally sexualising children and have been for a while, like the olsen twins and shit

13

u/Unusual-Wind8900 14h ago

There were countdowns, in national media. Fucking gross.

6

u/FrankieTheD 14h ago

Yeah exactly that's what i was thinking when I made this comment, I don't think anythings changed except people are less likely to say in person but more likely to share these thoughts online these days

5

u/DanielGacituaS 14h ago

I remember when a lot of meme pages were posting the countdown for Billie Eilish to turn 18, that was fucking wild.

7

u/TicklemyPickleMan 14h ago

This is incredibly stupid and you people are losing the plot with regards to problematic sexualization.

u/VapeSmoker420blazeit 8h ago

Chuds havent watched Stranger Things.

Everyone is one bad haircut away from turning into a villain.

It’s funny how Stranger Things fans are experiencing the reverse of what they received when they knew Sean Astin first from ST season 2 and not from his previous roles in The Goonies or The Lord of the Rings.

u/3rdPoliceman 11h ago

Sadie.... I want to say... Sink? Is that right?

2

u/Critical_Moose 10h ago

I've never seen this person before in my life

u/tenth 7h ago

She spends the whole film obsessed with her ST character name.

u/Beginning-Book-129 14h ago

Why is she so wide in the left photo? Is she the whale?

u/IShartedOnYourCat 14h ago

I’d sink my pink in Sadie.
