(probably nowhere near accurate but whatev basically what we commented) :P
Yessssss

Mmhmm

Which is why it makes no sense that a ton of them are blond and white because darker skin tones and hair colors are dominant genes (it's actually a lot more complicated than that but that's it basically). Then again, I don't think Shannon actually knows that much about genetics based on this and some of the other stuff in the books. Also, depending on when they decided to have nothing to do with humans (I forget when that was sorry), they shouldn't really have a concept of race since there is no race gene; it's just a socially constructed way to categorize people that was used as an excuse to colonize the African content and kickstart the African slave trade. But also, if the elven world is such a perfect society that has never held any racial biases, I'm guessing that they immediately would've rejected that idea, even if they still somehow had distinct races despite their global society and lack of racial discrimination.
Additionally, her portrayal of the Wylie, Maruca, and the Songs isn't great either. In Wylie's case, he's one of the most prominent black characters... with a father in prison? I guess Shannon didn't see that that was not really a great idea, to put it lightly, somehow??? Also, Maruca talks pretty stereotypically, which isn't necessarily bad, but if there's no actual reason for her to other than her skin color, than it's pretty messed up if everyone else just speaks in varying elven accents. And then there's the Songs... Does Shannon realize that Asia is a continent, not a country? Because the Song twins have been described as looking like K-pop stars (Korean) but also Anime characters (Japanese). Also their first names are Vietnamese, but their last name is Chinese. And their family is literally an over exaggerated strict Asian family stereotype. It just... doesn't work out...
Please correct me if I got anything wrong, but I can't see how Shannon's racial representation can really be considered good. It feels like it pretty much lost any potential after the worldbuilding was laid out then just continued to get more screwed up.
*sighs*
Agreed with Jae. Though the strict Asian family stereotype is true sometimes, lol. The POC characters in KotLC are generally stereotyped and Shannon definitely could have done better with diversity in KotLC.
The part on genetics... the elves have longer life spans and less children than humans so that might explain why the dominant genes haven’t taken over. They might simply have not interbred enough yet.

They might simply have not interbred enough yet."That's definitely possible, but when Shannon talks about the assembled Vacker family, for example, she talks about how they have every hair color, skin color, body type, ect.. Because of this, I fail to see how so many of the characters would be white. I'm pretty sure that Prentice and Cyrah were the only distinctly mentioned mixed race couple, which just doesn't make sense if they have no racial biases and everything. And the Vackers should probably be multiracial... And the population should at least look somewhat homogenous, especially given how far back a lot of those families seem to go back... So Shannon just really kinda messed that up
hi people I was just looking at some photos people have posted online and someone thinks Chris Hemsworth should play Grady. can we just say I'm a little surprised.
lol yeah. I've seen like fan casting and stuff. (https://www.mycast.io/stories/kotlc-1) But honestly, I think that people like Oralie can be famous, but the kids (Sophie, Dex, Biana, Keefe...) should be played by kids (like me haha) who aren't famous, but are looking up to being an actor. Does that make any sense?
It's also what makes fan casting so hard, becuase you can only cast famous people.

Clementine (import update, see my bio for details) wrote: "hes too young for elwin imo"Lol ig. Idk, I think picking people would be so hard. I would make a HORRIBLE casting director 😂
Mod
Noo my tommy can not play that savage beast
lol
Mod
yes
i'm hoping they'll have an original cast instead of a bunch of famous ones, mostly because some of those actors have their own ,, like .,,, iconic character. if i saw tom holland in the kotlc movie as alvar or something, id be wondering why and how spiderman got into the lost cities.
also alvar's... rough and harsh and sharp, which doesn't really suit tom

i agree
Yes but... (thinks of a younger Chris pratt as Thorne then realizes it’s the wrong fandom)

that's fair but it'd still be weird to see him as alvar
that's fair but it'd still be weird to see him as alvar
true i'd be thinking like all the time, "Oh hey Peter! No this is the evil one... BUT HE LOOKS LIKE SPIDER MAN"
plus the features + hair color is *hah??*
it would be cool if tom holland played elwyn
Whenever they do the movie I just hope it sticks close to the book and that Keefe looks the best!
McKenna Grace MUST be Biana or Marella or Sophie! Who's with me? Also I think Asher Angel would be a great Fitz tbh
^ Those are great castings! I think Timothée Chalamet for Alvar could work
Yeah, I think that could work!
Thanks! I love KotLC!!!
Okay hear me outEmma Watson as Lady Gisela
Tom Holland as either Elwin or Alvar
Mckenna Grace as Biana or Marella
Asher Angel as Fitz
I feel like Blake LIvely could be sophie
i think it'd be better if like the actors were the same age as the characters
but it would be so much better because the actors would grow with the characters, the movies, and us
Maybe they will hold acting tryouts
I’d audition but I’m no good at acting 🤣
Lmao I’m not even good at conversing, I’m socially awkward.
Jaeda Lily Miller-BianaTom Holland - Fitz
Jenna Coleman-Della
Louis Partridge-Alvar
nuuuuu I couldn't handle Hermoine being evil :/
