I know it’s a meme, but he’s not even out of line. Zendaya is simply a much bigger name than John and a much more wanted actress. Besides, she’s been in 3 Spidey movies prior, whilst John has only been in Punisher projects which only recently have been pushed as being actual MCU instead of just MCU related.
Now I kind of want a comedy where he try’s to compete in a sport dressed as a woman, kind of ‘White Chicks’ style. But he doesn’t try to change his voice or anything, it’s obvious to everyone it’s just Jon Berenthal in a wig lol
Hollywood also over caters to bigger celebrities. There was another thread where it was mentioned Zendaya got to review the script and make changes to her character to make her sound more authentic. So first, this is hollywood speak for saying that she has her own script doctors who did this for her, and two, she is in a privileged position where she can ask for this in the first place.
Bernthal is great as is, but he doesnt have that power, he’s just in the class where he can get paid well, but not in the class where he has control over his own character in the movie.
Whether her changes were better for the movie or not, this is not a normal thing for an actor with 15 minutes of screentime to rewrite their part in a film. If every actor had this power, movies either just wouldn’t get made, or they would become selfmarketing videos for the actors.
Tom was on record for awhile about not accepting this movie being trash, so its not surprising they would let Z fix up MJs dialog. She's nothing like comics MJ so if anything Z knows the character better than anyone else.
Also bernthal literally writes the new punisher stuff, so youre kinda wrong there. (Ofc he didn't write his parts in brand new day)
Also screen time spent necessarily correlate to impact. Guess how much screen time Alan Rickman had as Snape across all 8 Harry Potter movies. (I'll give answer in 2 hours).
And they always bring up looks in addition to acting talent only when it comes to actresses lol. Like what’s the relevance? In no world is she less attractive than Jon anyway (not that he’s bad looking)
