    Pedro Pascal is great, but seems horribly miscast here.

    Truth be told, I'm not 100% sold on either principle stars. Though the series looks faithful, I'm expecting a different feel to the characters. They apparently told Ramsey and Pascal to not play the games before shooting.

    yeah honestly i have no clue how Pascal could pull off the role of a rugged loner badass who softens up after taking on an adoptive father role to a child he has to shepherd to safety with a very small handful of friends/people he can trust along the way

    im less convinced about Ramsey. i have no specific reason to doubt, i just havent seen her in anything extensive. thought she owned basically every scene she was in as Mormont, but that doesnt necessarily add up to a lead role as Ellie

    telling them not to play the game sounded dumb at first... but a long as they read the scripts for it, its probably fine. probably too much pressure to specifically recreate every little speech pattern in the big scenes if they watched it. let them do their own thing.

    That's probably the thing that bothers me the least. I mean, Joel's ex-wife has never been shown or even named. As long as the actress that plays Sarah nails her 15 minutes of screen time, what does it really matter if she or her mom are black?

    100% guarantee you it aint gonna be 15 mins of screentime. they're going to play heavily on flashbacks imo

    tbh i dont actually care, it's not gonna deter me from watching it but its one of those things thats just like, why. there is already plenty of diversity in the cast. unless they just wanted the first person to die to be black

    Why not put Arnold Schwarzenegger in that role, he’s been a badass who connects with children and the only difference is hE’d LoOk a LiTtLe AuStRiAn!

    Oh sorry, I missed all the SAG awards on Pedro Pascal’s shelf. And good actors can still be miscast.

    I'm gonna watch it regardless but the insistence to not cast characters how they look in the source material is kinda getting annoying. I'm not gonna take to social media and cry about it because it ain't really a big deal but it would be nice to get a faithful adaptation of an existing IP for once

    Didn't watch his reacher and don't really care tbh. Just my opinion. You are welcome to (clearly) disagree

    The casting choice for the Reacher show on Amazon was much better though

    Of course some actors will be so good that they transcend the role and make it their own. There is a difference between being miffed by certain casting choices and being a wad crying about wokeness and refusing to watch it. And I reserve the right to end up enjoying the choice once I see the performance. So maybe take those silly examples elsewhere. Im not Nathan or calf tats

    And Chump kept insisting that Cruise was perfect for the role, pissing Avante off each time.

    Ha~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Judy....another Lee Child novel? Those Jack Reacher stories?
    Avante...yep, have them all. Great reads.
    Judy....I heard there is a movie coming out...Jack Reacher.
    Avante...nay.

    Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    About five or so years ago I'm at this yard sale. Lady has a lot of books.

    Lady...I bet you'd like Lee Child.
    Avante...why do you say that?
    Lady....he writes about a big guy like you.
    Avante...ha!!! Ok, I'm sold.

    So I bought the half dozen or so she had and some Luke Short, Harlan Ellison and Norman Mailer.

    The first Reacher I read was....Without Fail.....yep, hooked!
    She had him pegged.
