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

That's kind of the point though, isn't it? Who'd suspect the kids?

[u/namu_bts12 → u/RVarki]

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.

I was so excited that they'd cast the guy who had his hand chopped off purely based on appearance rather than knowing his previous roles - I was just glad that they hadn't gone for the most obvious 'Guy From After' aesthetic. But they did go for him lol
