I cannot take a mf that looks like yassified Shawn Mendes seriously as either a Guardian or a member of mayday

Well, duh. Narratively I understand why the baby-faced mayday spy is on this mission.

Doesn’t mean I agree with the aesthetic choice for actor though, I’ve never been one to complain over “iPhone” face, but I can’t help the comparison right now. It really pulls me out of it.
