You could always look into de-reverb/ ai voice extraction software. Waves clarity is one example. It tends to work really well and would make just about any mic you use sound like a clean higher quality mic.
Back in the day before even the first X-Men film pals and I have been discussing who to cast. One said Iman (wife of David Bowie) as Storm (that was some 30 years ago), I voted for Stalone as Wolverine but we all agreed, Patrick Stewart as Xavier.
Canonically one of the most handsome" you realize how dumb that sounds😂 A fictional character is considered attractive by other fictional characters??? Go outside and get a girlfriend or boyfriend lol you need to get interaction with real people😂
The audience for Wicked and X-Men are very different indeed. I wouldn't put it past them to cast her, and then it to have a very very high chance of flopping.
It's definitely possible, but there are other factors that could keep her from doing it. One, Wicked is already an awards darling at the golden globes, and I suspect it'll snag some nominations at the Oscar's if it hasn't already. If that's the case, she may demand more money than the mcu is willing to pay her, so there is that. And even if that's not the case, it would be foolish for us not to expect her to get offers for other roles to where she may not be able to commit to the schedule that the mcu typically asks of their actors as she may not want to be tied down to too many films. While if you're the mcu, then you'd want whoever you cast as storm to be locked up for at least a decade or so. But then again, that didn't stop feige from casting that one guy for blade but still.
The same woman who had a fit over a fan recreating the original Wicked poster, exposed as a hypocrite for pictures of her face in the dark. She wants to be Storm. Yeah, NO THANKS!! “No God Damn Way” - Wolverine (Deadpool Video Game).
Lol she didn't nominate herself, she was asked in an interview what is another one of her dream roles, and she said storm. She even added "I know it sounds frivolous". You're making it sound like she said "I deserve to be storm" lol
Storm from 1975 to 1990 before she was turned into a child is one of the best written comic book characters of all time. No way Hollywood would do her justice.
Yeah, I agree. Cynthia as Storm just doesn't seem like a good fit, and feels like it's mostly suggested because Wicked is really popular at the moment.
@dxitydevil Yeah, and don't forget about that Hella Berry played Storm in the first X-Men movie. Speaking of her, what did you think of Hella's performance as Storm?
Literally the only things she and Storm have in common is that they are both black women, and by that logic you could hire any black man to play T’challa (but Disney won’t do it for some reason…. 🤨)
I still kinda like that line ...because you're expecting a quip and, really, she's just dissing Toad, a guy who thinks he's above normal humans, when he gets electrocuted as well as anyone else. Lol (I'm basing Toad's opinion of himself on the fact he was aligned with Magneto)
Let's all be honest, she'd do far too much damage to the character and she'd try to make her into a basic girlboss character. Also couldn't agree more that she's the worst possible choice. (Terrible personality for it, won't be able to take the criticism)
We need to start praying hard because if they drop the ball with Storm again, we will never see her on the big screen again. She-Hulk already got tainted to kingdom come and female comic characters already catch hell before this arrogance nonsense sweeping Hollywood.
Please, no more Ezra Millers, no more Rachel Zeglers, No more Jared Letos, no more Brie Larsons, no more Cynthia Erivos. I don't care how "good" these people are at their theater kid "job". Enough with the narcissist nut jobs.
It only takes one person with a really bad personality to ruin a workplace, and a film set is no exception. If producers would wrap their heads around this, then maybe the world of film would suck less.
@@Rabid4Rachel I get it Rabid, you are a Rachel fan. Maybe she shouldn't be in that group because she's just a kid who was thrust into the meat-grinder of stardom without the necessary preparation. Can I replace her with Amandla Stenberg?
It's funny that the two actresses I'd have liked for Storm (Bassett and N'yongo) were both snatched up in Black Panther. But there are still some good, beautiful picks out there. Anyway, I don't subscribe to the idea that an actor HAS to know the comics to take a role (it's a bonus if they do, but not a necessity). I just take umbrage with how hard Cynthia is lobbying, if it's going to cancel out a genuine search. I get the sense Erivo is trying to 'take' Storm because she feels like she's "owed" something. One of the things that worked about Deadpool and Wolverine, (I know you didn't like it, but hear me out) is that it was loaded with actors that fans really enjoy, who also enjoy their fans. That matters. Same thing worked for No Way Home, and they are anomalies in this Phase of the MCU for a reason. Compare how humble and grateful Toby Maguire or Andrew Garfield are to play in this world, versus Brie Larson's attacks, or Samu Lui's making Shang Chi about his own ego. If Marvel wants to kick X-Men off with someone they know will start shit with the fans (the audience they need, btw) then don't say I didn't warn 'em...
I understand an actor wanting to play a character, but I think there should be genuine auditions to pick the best person for the job and give others a fair chance to get the role.
I hate that woman so much. You KNOW she's going to be cast as Storm. You KNOW Disney are going to do it. Storm is my number 1 Marvel character, so... ...y'know. It's like a funeral, for me.
They don't call storm a goddess because of her looks. She actually posed as a goddess and was believed to be one before joining the xmen. That being said Cynthia should still not play storm.
The point is that a casting such as Erivo would be trending even further in the wrong direction. As such, nobody competent should give such a suggestion any oxygen.
If I was going to pick any human in the world (not just actresses) to play someone that is described as the most beautiful woman in the world, I’d pick Angella Summer Namubiru. She has a channel here on RUclips and she just radiates warm friendly energy and elegant poise. She also has thick skin and knows how to respond to criticism in a classy, yet funny, way. On top of that she’s also drop dead gorgeous.
She is beautiful and she's a ray of sunshine. For an actress I think Jodie Turner Smith is perfect. She's tall, gorgeous, elegant, toned and her voice is beautiful.
No, no she should not play Storm. Storm is a beautiful woman, compared to a Goddess, and a good person, who exudes wisdom. I will just have another thing to dismiss as cannon and not even bother to watch, if she is cast as Storm.
There is considerable irony in Storm's constant struggle to be human when everyone treats her as a goddess and media not wanting to portray her as anything but.
Honestly, as long as she will be passionate about playing Storm, I can see it. Plus, action movies really need more athletic/masculine actresses on big screens as main cast
Ever since I saw “Murder Mystery 2” I’ve been convinced Jodie Turner Smith is the best black actress of this generation to play the part. The white hair would look BREATHTAKING on a gorgeous dark-skinned black woman who actually looks African.
11:17 I'd like to see the full clip with the context cause this is clearly an interview and she was clearly responding to someones question. Like they could have asked her, "what do you think you bring that is new to the charcter" or something like that, in which case i think that her answer is perfectly reasonable. Note she doesn't say it makes her better, she says "that innately makes me, compleatly different" which is true having someon other than a white actor, play a character who is discriminated against because if her skin colour is completely different when the character is primarily played by white actors. Its not narcissistic because at no point does she say she's better, she says she's different, and she is right in that regard. I've even seen reviews where people talked about how it made them notice the commentary on racism that they previously didnt notice before. And before anyone calls anyone stupid for not realizing that a character being discriminated against for her skin colour is a commentary on racism, there are still a lot of people who will fight tooth and nail to argue that there actually isnt any commentarys on racism in in the story at all and that people are reading too far into it.
@@GBop89 no, this is not the case. Your comment is a cop out and the fact there is so much ppl out there showing heavy narcissistic traits and the growing self centerness with in our society should be called out. I'm someone that can't stand ppl calling people narcissistic all to often, so I'm not saying that what your saying doesn't happen, but it's not to the point you are making it out to be. It almost seems like a bit of deflection on your behalf.
@@intrigued16 dude it was just a comment that she even admitted was a overreaction. Cynthia does not have any narcassitic traits in her interviews and other things.
@@Patterner amazon and the broccoli family who own the rights are having a disagreement on the future direction of the franchise and based on the shows amazon have been putting out lately i believe it. based on what has been said it seems james bond might not see a movie for a few years or ever if they dont get along which makes no sense since each movie is usually an easy billion dollars at the box office.
She's likely only saying this because Marvel Rivals is the hot new thing right now, effortlessly supplanting Wicked's brief popularity. Rivals will also continue to be popular, as it's a live service video game that will receive frequent updates, each one reigniting public interest, while Wicked is a film which, apart from some heavy pre/post-release hype, will lose public interest much faster than a multiplayer video game. She's desperate to maintain her relevance.
I don't think she's pretty enough. Storm is meant to be indescribably gorgeous like an African goddess. Too bad Lupita Nyong'o can't play her since she already has an MCU role.
If they are bringing RDJ back to play Doom, they might as well cast her again and just use the same filming techniques they used for Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap. 🤷🏽♀️
I have a conspiracy theory, i think she knows the MCU fandom will mock her to oblivion and she wants to be able to play the victim, "oh look at these awful people!!!"
Since Disney seems to like swapping character race , I guess Cate Blanchett could play Storm , and since RDJ can be 2 characters , then yes Cate can too .
Dewanda Wise would be good choice, the actress needs to be both commanding and Nurturing, when she talks you listen Halle was too soft and this chicks a 100% a no go😑
A lot of people didn't like her because of how she accused fans of trying to "erase her" when they made the movie poster closer to the musical when they put the hat over her eyes.
Seeing some of her recent media appearances, I think she needs a conservatorship, she cannot be trusted to behave like a normal human being and will end up hurting herself
I think it is a horrible idea for an actor to publicly state a role they want, even if asked by an interviewer…..be thankful for the role you got and strive to be better in whatever role you manage to get in the future
I can't believe I'm doing this again, but dammit, the quote is good and it works too well here. "Oh honey, you can't do this." Rob Walker - Nostalgia Critic, Lady in the Water Review
To be fair, Cynthia has walked the world as a dark skin black girl who people don’t find attractive & also a lesbian. I don’t doubt that she has felt like an outsider and been treated similar to Elphaba. I don’t think it’s disrespectful for her to say her performance is different because every actress ads something different to the character. I think people need to chill out with assuming the worst from her & others in general. I think she just wanted to play storm because she likes storm. Big deal. Doesn’t mean she’s a narcissist & also doesn’t mean she’s right for the role. Edit: also her reaction to the fan poster was way over the top and uncalled for. Also If you listen to her explanation of her thought process/feelings it makes sense because she’s very used to people being hyper critical of her, so she automatically felt defensive. Still a bad decision for her to post online about that in the heat of her feelings. I’m sure she has learned this lesson by now with how much people rightfully dogged her about it.
agreed - storm has not been written well in the movies. but, if they make a storm "appropriate for modern audiences", it'll retrospectively make the previous versions look nuanced and clever
It’s a real shame they didn’t ask Iman to play Storm back in the first movie trilogy, but at 69 years old I’d still want her in the role before an activist who sees the part as an opportunity to politically grandstand
The hatefulness of this video (for no apparent reason other than being negative) is wild. And the hatefulness of the comments even worse. Everyone take a look in the mirror and have a moment with yourself before you start projecting your negativity to someone who has more talent and compassion on their pinky than anyone hating on her will ever have. Also, is this really a concern, considering the state of our world. She made a statement because she has dreams and aspirations just like anyone else. Why do YOU feel the need to take someone down? It’s sad that I came on RUclips to watch a video of Cynthia because I think she is incredible, and this video is popping up. And the fact that any human would be miffed off from watching someone live out their dreams and be grateful for their achievements in interviews is wild. You all are mad because she is thankful for the opportunities that have come her way. Imagine being a kid with dreams and then growing up and they actually are fully realized. You wouldn’t be filled with love and gratitude? The fact the more people don’t behave the way Cynthia and Ari have throughout their press tour for wicked is concerning. There is too much hate in this world already and yall try to bring people down because of a hypothetical scenario based on a made up character that probably won’t even happen anyway. Come on. Do you know what joy and happiness looks like? Go do something productive or go ahead and MAKE YOUR OWN MOVIE with STORM and cast the person you think will “fit” the role. Otherwise…… stay seated.
@@bladerunner3314isn't Ororo a dark skinned african woman tho? Diop looks way more like the character and she is senegalese too, she can pull off the fierce but sensible character based on her role in the movie "Nanny"... like she's the perfect choice
Been reading X-men since I was young, now I'm 42 Hispanic Female. I always felt like she was like a Naomi Cambell type beauty. Get someone like that, but acting skills like Lupita.
I love storm during the clairemont run especially when she was put into the rule of leader after cyclops left and i agree storm's character has been lost for awhile. I do have to agree Cynthia just doesn't have the looks nor the youth to portray her properly I don't think she can pull off the savage land outfit look. Personally I'm less worried of what she will want to do and more so what Disney will want storm to be they don't have the best track record of bringing out the flaws without destroying their characters but that's just my two cents I feel like they're more likely to ignore every flaw she has to make her look "strong" even if that makes her less likable or relatable
By the time the MCU X-Men movie comes out, she'll be too old. She's 38 right now, and Marvel has made no indication, to the best of my knowledge, that they have even started an outline for a script. The X-Men need to be played by unknown actors in their 20s.
Visually anok yai would be soooo perfect. She looks like a goddess but she is a model not an actress and storm is a very complex character but damn.. if she ever cosplayed storm i would lose my shit
Imma say this like no all the X-men need to be play by people who are young & new who are gonna stay long term and not as expensive along with them not being problematic like they can’t afford to have problematic actor like with Snow White or the flash cuz that ruined those movie they can’t have no problematic actors at all
I love how all of this discourse has started because she said like 3 sentences of dialogue on a red carpet interview. It’s crazy how people chose such a small amount of words to use as a platform to speak on a black woman’s looks. She is allowed to have dreams and aspirations, it doesn’t matter if she’s a celebrity she’s still a human. And if you don’t think those dreams shouldn’t become a reality then that’s fine, but you all have made it a point to diagnose a woman you don’t know and treat her like shit because of something she wanted to do. People like yall need to grow and change.
It's completely fine that she has aspirations. It isn't like she's in negotiation talks, and as consumers, we aren't obligated to support the idea or decision if it were to actually materialize.
Which is completely fine. But once again to use your opinion against a black woman to say she looks ugly OR LIKE FUCKING GOLLUM????!!!! That’s just plain ignorant and Idc what anyone says. It’s just wrong.
A lot of people made videos where they down talked her for her reaction to the fan edit, BUT this one video probably did 10 times more damage than all the other videos combined 😂

Wonder Woman has a similar idealization problem, with the extra downside of never having a comic run as iconic as the Clairmont X-men to ground her.

A fantastic look. But yeah, probably older than they'll be ideally seeking, alas.
Beautiful choice but she's also too tiny
I'm not sure how good an actress she is, but Jade Cargill has the perfect look to play Storm.
Honestly, as long as she will be passionate about playing Storm, I can see it. Plus, action movies really need more athletic/masculine actresses on big screens as main cast
She was excellent in bad times in el royale
Mouna Traore is better
Jade is a terrible wrestler, and I’m not sure about her acting skills, but she does have the look!
@@paulchristian1358yup has the looks but acting is probably way worse than her wrestling but I’d rather have her than Cynthia
Ever since I saw “Murder Mystery 2” I’ve been convinced Jodie Turner Smith is the best black actress of this generation to play the part. The white hair would look BREATHTAKING on a gorgeous dark-skinned black woman who actually looks African.
She'd genuinely have a better chance at Empress Yzma.
I'd actually watch that. They can paint her light purple and everything 😂
11:17 I'd like to see the full clip with the context cause this is clearly an interview and she was clearly responding to someones question. Like they could have asked her, "what do you think you bring that is new to the charcter" or something like that, in which case i think that her answer is perfectly reasonable. Note she doesn't say it makes her better, she says "that innately makes me, compleatly different" which is true having someon other than a white actor, play a character who is discriminated against because if her skin colour is completely different when the character is primarily played by white actors.
Its not narcissistic because at no point does she say she's better, she says she's different, and she is right in that regard. I've even seen reviews where people talked about how it made them notice the commentary on racism that they previously didnt notice before. And before anyone calls anyone stupid for not realizing that a character being discriminated against for her skin colour is a commentary on racism, there are still a lot of people who will fight tooth and nail to argue that there actually isnt any commentarys on racism in in the story at all and that people are reading too far into it.
At this point, they just call anyone they don't like a narcassist😂
@GBop89 fr
THANK YOU! Sorry for all caps but this woman's arguments make no sense and are baseless really.
@@GBop89 no, this is not the case. Your comment is a cop out and the fact there is so much ppl out there showing heavy narcissistic traits and the growing self centerness with in our society should be called out. I'm someone that can't stand ppl calling people narcissistic all to often, so I'm not saying that what your saying doesn't happen, but it's not to the point you are making it out to be. It almost seems like a bit of deflection on your behalf.
@@intrigued16 dude it was just a comment that she even admitted was a overreaction. Cynthia does not have any narcassitic traits in her interviews and other things.
I was not expecting this roast 😂
Agreed Jester! Besides her skin tone she has nothing in common with Storm…
She’s not the worst choice, gosh yall are miserable.
Yes she is
Ryan Destiny has a good look for Storm. She's young and pretty enough to be Storm.
Okay, this is an interesting suggestion…
She’ll probably be cast as James Bond 😆
Wait honestly this could happen 😭
Honestly, I hope so. If she's busy with the she won't be ruining Storm. Sorry, Bond fans. Take one for the team.
if she was cast as bond it would actually hurt the franchise so much it wouldnt survive.
@@chefcheeks19 it's it already dead? i haven't heard anything from JB in ages
@@Patterner amazon and the broccoli family who own the rights are having a disagreement on the future direction of the franchise and based on the shows amazon have been putting out lately i believe it. based on what has been said it seems james bond might not see a movie for a few years or ever if they dont get along which makes no sense since each movie is usually an easy billion dollars at the box office.
She's likely only saying this because Marvel Rivals is the hot new thing right now, effortlessly supplanting Wicked's brief popularity. Rivals will also continue to be popular, as it's a live service video game that will receive frequent updates, each one reigniting public interest, while Wicked is a film which, apart from some heavy pre/post-release hype, will lose public interest much faster than a multiplayer video game. She's desperate to maintain her relevance.
I don't think she's pretty enough. Storm is meant to be indescribably gorgeous like an African goddess. Too bad Lupita Nyong'o can't play her since she already has an MCU role.
Megan Good?
Anna Diop would be a good pick
Dang lol
@giu941 yoo she would be perfect
If they are bringing RDJ back to play Doom, they might as well cast her again and just use the same filming techniques they used for Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap. 🤷🏽♀️
"No!!"
Me seeing the thumbnail screaming like a maniac without realizing it.
I have a conspiracy theory, i think she knows the MCU fandom will mock her to oblivion and she wants to be able to play the victim, "oh look at these awful people!!!"
Delusional much
@GBop89 🤷♀️
If Disney does that they are burning money at this point and really hate the marvel property
Since Disney seems to like swapping character race , I guess Cate Blanchett could play Storm , and since RDJ can be 2 characters , then yes Cate can too .
Get over it
Storm is literally a bkack kenyan woman its literally apart if her lore lol u thought u ate
his joke flew over you guys' head. he was mocking disney. lol.
Dewanda Wise would be good choice, the actress needs to be both commanding and Nurturing, when she talks you listen Halle was too soft and this chicks a 100% a no go😑
A lot of people didn't like her because of how she accused fans of trying to "erase her" when they made the movie poster closer to the musical when they put the hat over her eyes.
Seeing some of her recent media appearances, I think she needs a conservatorship, she cannot be trusted to behave like a normal human being and will end up hurting herself
I hadn’t even considered Cynthia could be Storm. Now I’m terrified at the thought of it.
Disney is the king of bad decisions lately. They probably can’t to cast her.
I think it is a horrible idea for an actor to publicly state a role they want, even if asked by an interviewer…..be thankful for the role you got and strive to be better in whatever role you manage to get in the future
I think she might be able to voice her, but play her? Please let an actual African do it 🤦🏾♂️
Cynthia’s parents are Nigerian, but her behavior puts me off.
She wants Storm to be female Black Panther, that's it
I can't believe I'm doing this again, but dammit, the quote is good and it works too well here. "Oh honey, you can't do this." Rob Walker - Nostalgia Critic, Lady in the Water Review
To be fair, Cynthia has walked the world as a dark skin black girl who people don’t find attractive & also a lesbian.
I don’t doubt that she has felt like an outsider and been treated similar to Elphaba.
I don’t think it’s disrespectful for her to say her performance is different because every actress ads something different to the character.
I think people need to chill out with assuming the worst from her & others in general.
I think she just wanted to play storm because she likes storm. Big deal. Doesn’t mean she’s a narcissist & also doesn’t mean she’s right for the role.
Edit: also her reaction to the fan poster was way over the top and uncalled for.
Also If you listen to her explanation of her thought process/feelings it makes sense because she’s very used to people being hyper critical of her, so she automatically felt defensive.
Still a bad decision for her to post online about that in the heat of her feelings. I’m sure she has learned this lesson by now with how much people rightfully dogged her about it.
Storm is a powerful and strong hero and a female rolemodel. We do not need an actress who is unstable and more fragile than paper to play her.
agreed - storm has not been written well in the movies. but, if they make a storm "appropriate for modern audiences", it'll retrospectively make the previous versions look nuanced and clever
I think Cynthia Enviro is very beautiful. Why should a character be denied a role because you think she's unattractive?
Remember the casting decisions made for the Borderlands movie? Casting old people is enough by itself to kill a movie.
Don’t know why I found this video so funny.
Also is the mic okay? Feels like there’s much more room tone in this episode…
It’s a real shame they didn’t ask Iman to play Storm back in the first movie trilogy, but at 69 years old I’d still want her in the role before an activist who sees the part as an opportunity to politically grandstand
The hatefulness of this video (for no apparent reason other than being negative) is wild. And the hatefulness of the comments even worse. Everyone take a look in the mirror and have a moment with yourself before you start projecting your negativity to someone who has more talent and compassion on their pinky than anyone hating on her will ever have. Also, is this really a concern, considering the state of our world. She made a statement because she has dreams and aspirations just like anyone else. Why do YOU feel the need to take someone down? It’s sad that I came on RUclips to watch a video of Cynthia because I think she is incredible, and this video is popping up. And the fact that any human would be miffed off from watching someone live out their dreams and be grateful for their achievements in interviews is wild. You all are mad because she is thankful for the opportunities that have come her way. Imagine being a kid with dreams and then growing up and they actually are fully realized. You wouldn’t be filled with love and gratitude? The fact the more people don’t behave the way Cynthia and Ari have throughout their press tour for wicked is concerning. There is too much hate in this world already and yall try to bring people down because of a hypothetical scenario based on a made up character that probably won’t even happen anyway. Come on. Do you know what joy and happiness looks like? Go do something productive or go ahead and MAKE YOUR OWN MOVIE with STORM and cast the person you think will “fit” the role. Otherwise…… stay seated.
Anna Diop would be a great choice. 🤷🏾♂️
Thank you for this cus I had no idea who she was! And holy moly she is gorgeous and already plays starfire! So she’s used to the superhero genre
Why not Alexandra Shipp? She played Storm in AoA. Just wasn't much of a speaking role.
I forgot!
@@bladerunner3314storm is a dark skinned African.
@@bladerunner3314isn't Ororo a dark skinned african woman tho? Diop looks way more like the character and she is senegalese too, she can pull off the fierce but sensible character based on her role in the movie "Nanny"... like she's the perfect choice
Been reading X-men since I was young, now I'm 42 Hispanic Female. I always felt like she was like a Naomi Cambell type beauty. Get someone like that, but acting skills like Lupita.
LOL at thinking any of these actors read the comics before being casted 😂
I love storm during the clairemont run especially when she was put into the rule of leader after cyclops left and i agree storm's character has been lost for awhile. I do have to agree Cynthia just doesn't have the looks nor the youth to portray her properly I don't think she can pull off the savage land outfit look. Personally I'm less worried of what she will want to do and more so what Disney will want storm to be they don't have the best track record of bringing out the flaws without destroying their characters but that's just my two cents I feel like they're more likely to ignore every flaw she has to make her look "strong" even if that makes her less likable or relatable
By the time the MCU X-Men movie comes out, she'll be too old. She's 38 right now, and Marvel has made no indication, to the best of my knowledge, that they have even started an outline for a script. The X-Men need to be played by unknown actors in their 20s.
Black don't crack
Whoever did the Fox X-men casting should come back cast the X-men as Fox's casting is pretty spot on for the most part.
Storm should be played by that girl from Game of thrones who dates Grey Worm.
I went to check her age as she looks too old and I was shocked she's only 38.
I swear I thought she was AT LEAST 58.
Visually anok yai would be soooo perfect. She looks like a goddess but she is a model not an actress and storm is a very complex character but damn.. if she ever cosplayed storm i would lose my shit
Was thinking the same! She looks perfect
I was about to comment this! Her face, her physique, her stature. It’s too bad she’s not an actress because visually she would be the perfect storm.
Facts@@ohdearbri
She dressed as her for Halloween 👌
Imma say this like no all the X-men need to be play by people who are young & new who are gonna stay long term and not as expensive along with them not being problematic like they can’t afford to have problematic actor like with Snow White or the flash cuz that ruined those movie they can’t have no problematic actors at all
can Kevin find a unknown tall darkskin black woman that’s all we want
Great stuff really good vid thanks.
You nailed it. You said everything I was thinking 😂
I love how all of this discourse has started because she said like 3 sentences of dialogue on a red carpet interview. It’s crazy how people chose such a small amount of words to use as a platform to speak on a black woman’s looks. She is allowed to have dreams and aspirations, it doesn’t matter if she’s a celebrity she’s still a human. And if you don’t think those dreams shouldn’t become a reality then that’s fine, but you all have made it a point to diagnose a woman you don’t know and treat her like shit because of something she wanted to do. People like yall need to grow and change.
It's completely fine that she has aspirations. It isn't like she's in negotiation talks, and as consumers, we aren't obligated to support the idea or decision if it were to actually materialize.
Which is completely fine. But once again to use your opinion against a black woman to say she looks ugly OR LIKE FUCKING GOLLUM????!!!! That’s just plain ignorant and Idc what anyone says. It’s just wrong.
I love how people are calling her Black Nosferatu now.
WAHHHHHAHHAAHAHT jaja
If she cares that much, let's see her do some cosplay. Go the extra mile. She can afford the outfit
interesting how nobody wanted a Backlash Movement to start when a 1/2 White woman did (Storm) 🤔
Cynthia be like "but I'm a black, queer woman! I have to play her!"
She's not like that.
With this added to the rumor that Rachel Zegler is the frontrunner for Rogue, I'm so far out I'm not watching this in any timeline.
A lot of people made videos where they down talked her for her reaction to the fan edit, BUT this one video probably did 10 times more damage than all the other videos combined 😂
Who in the right mind would cast her as Storm?
Oh, nobody in Hollywood is in their right mind.
Cynthia is holding space for Storm 🙏🏻
As a Storm fan... NO. The MCU stopped after End Game. Disney has ruined Marvel.
Storm has muscles, Cynthia is a walking skeleton
The best this lady could hope for is to play the role of Storm's mom or some sort of mentor. Anything else would be seriously pushing it.
I wouldn’t even want this woman to voice the cartoon version of Storm🤷🏽
