Already 11 years old

everything in media moves dead fucking slow

What started this trend? Was it Netflix? The original Harry Potter was literally every year, back to back. What went wrong?

Joey King played a 16 year old at 24 years of age in Uglies for Netflix. She pulled it off so bad example but you get my point.

What happens if a child actor develops horrible cystic acne

Not my Hermione. In all honesty I wish Arabella the best. She seems like a decent actress who will give it her all.

it would be a risk

There is literally zero risk. They can’t stray from the source material unlike other adaptations so there is literally no opportunity to fuck it up.

It's "DO NOT REDEEM SAARS" not "Please don't, sir"

Her ancestry might be part Indian (we don't know yet) but she was born in London and simply talks/sounds like a Londoner, almost like a clone of young Emma

Her ancestry might be part Indian (we don't know yet)

This, just like we don't know if she's male or female until she tells us.

What started this trend? Was it Netflix?

A big part of it is because of how streaming and binge watching has changed audience reception. In the old days, if you had a few bad episodes a season, it wasn't a problem, because people would just tune back in the next week because there was nothing else on anyway. Now, a single bad or "mid" episode can completely kill a show. This has resulted in much shorter seasons, because fewer episodes means less risk. This has also resulted in tv shows becoming a lot more like movies, with tons of expensive sets and CGI, so it takes a lot longer to make fewer episodes. Also, tv shows these days tend to have season long story arcs, instead of being self contained episodes. There is less room for rewrites and changes when writing a story like this, so everything gets planned out ahead of time, instead of being written as they are going along.

The original Harry Potter was literally every year, back to back.

They weren't. There were 1-2 year gaps between most of them.

They shouldn't start casting when the script and all prep is done for all seven seasons. Not a moment sooner than that.

Expecting far too much pre-planning, theyll want to know how well the initial stuff will be received and possibly make adjustments, which they may also be making according to the casting.

Yes, they could do that, but they gotta re-edit the whole thing to make it more woke and more acceptable for modern audiences.

Nope they couldnt do that because they need to re-write it in the format of an episodic tv show that works well.

That would require actual real brains to do, but more importantly, it would be a risk, which you just cannot do to today.

Theres not that much risk with an IP this size they can probably afford two potentially poorly received seasons.

limp-dicked attitude. Time moves on. These actors will be fucking elderly people before they get the green light by their jew machine learning overgods to do what little acting they can do. Old way of doing things worked because they had balls and took risk and didn't give a fuck about the opinions of the fucking sheep

Im saying its probably safe for them to shoot two seasons at a time, and they always cared about ratings. Dont think things are necessarily too slow to work out nowadays especially with something so prestigious theyre going to be prioritising it and making money hand over fist. Also the kids are supposed to age and grow up throughout the books and the earliest ones are the shortest IIRC.

Watson is a terrible actress

Shes excellent coomerbait thobiet.

Uglies

I thought I was the only one who watched this gemm.

gets cancelled after the third season if they're lucky

You know I'm right.

Warm fresh Watson Braps

I had no plans of watching this and now I don’t even have plans for hatewatching it.
In fact I don’t even have plans to watch youtubers rant about it.

I am at a stage of fatigue I didn’t even know was possible to reach.

The answer is race
Snape was all that was talked about, even when other cast members for big characters like Dumbledore and McGonagall were announced.
Now we've got ambiguously brown Hermione and people are chimping out again.

The funniest thing is seeing all the millennials try to be mad about snape without being racist because they are all a bunch of woke faggots but they are still mad that the actor is black lmfao

Yes, that's definitely true. But not even black Potter fans liked the pick. It's an odd choice by the showrunners even without the racism.

Now we've got ambiguously brown Hermione

You find that ambiguous? Standards are dropping man.

another show/film that gets massively delayed and then probably bombs or only gets one season

I feel like there is something wrong with the modern film and tv show development process but I'm not sure what it is, too much bureaucracy?

ambiguous

Because she is brown but that doesn't mean she's not white, I genuinely don't care about her looks or race so I haven't looked her up, but this is Dafne Keen all over again, Dafne Keen is 100% white but people still think she's Latina.

You guys are lying if you're saying you wouldn't fuck the shit out of her

not even black Potter fans liked the pick

They are probably less woke than the white ones. They can see it for what it is.

I honestly wonder how they will adopt a small book like that into a whole season
it's pretty much 300 pages
it fits into a normal 2 hour movie much better, which is why the first HP movie worked perfectly

Nikki Haley lookin bitch

So this is how Anon Babble deems whether a child actress is good for the role...

absolutely right - it's the death of network TV and its associated production schedules that have caused it. for productions featuring adult actors it's no kind of deal really, nobody gives a fuck if an actor is 32 in season one and 37 by season 3, a bit of makeup and lighting can easily cover any changes, but for shows with kids you're gonna notice if your leads are middle schoolers in season one and about to graduate high school in season 3 when they're supposed to be two years older

There were 1-2 year gaps between most of them.

Well Sorcerers Stone and Chambers of secrets. Still much better than what we have now. Consult Stranger Things and Wednesday. Also Henry Cavill corrected a reporter when she tried to say the Witcher delays were because of the pandemic and he said the delays were all 100% Netflix.

They’re probably going to pad season one out with a bunch of foreshadowing and introducing characters and concepts early. That or spending a lot more time with the Dursleys.

Because she is brown but that doesn't mean she's not white,

Read that again.

correct

retelling the main story is retarded.
the only way this shit works is if its all mundane self contained stories unrealted to the big bads.
basically boy meets world at hogworts

if you had a few bad episodes a season, it wasn't a problem, because people would just tune back in the next week because there was nothing else on anyway. Now, a single bad or "mid" episode can completely kill a show.

No. It’s the opposite. Binge watching allows streaming giants to pack in filler episodes because you’re going to watch the next episode immediately right after. In the old days each episode had to stand alone on its own two feet and have no filler because that would curtail an episodic TV show. Tom Welling when talking about the villain of the week trope that hampered Smallville he mentioned the writers stated each episode had to be all encompassing and writing an overall arc had to be included little by little. The ability to binge watch hides flaws in TV episodes.

The internet is going to make this kid's life a living hell for the next decade, aren't they?

It’s 100% to save money. Seasons of TV shows have budgets well over $100,000,000 so they can’t be made every year anymore. Severance season two had a budget of $20,000,000 per episode. That’s why we aren’t getting season three before 2027. This isn’t the 1990s where you can have 24 episode seasons with a $50,000,000 budget.

They're filming the first to seasons back to back.

no its the opposite. people dont want to watch ten hour movies so seinfeld and friends and the simpsons moggs everything new.

In the two modern Jumanjis with The Rock, the black high-school teenage kid (one of the four teenagers who are sucked into the game) is played by a 30+ YEAR OLD guy who is OLDER THAN KAREN GILLAN, who plays the adult-looking avatar.

I later saw him in a B-movie where he plays an adult tough mercenary soldier guy, and thought "where have I seen him before"? I looked him up and lmao, he's the teen from Jumanji from 2 years ago.

And now that Jumanji 3(4) will actually happen, with a release date in 2027, it means that he will reprise his role of this teen guy while being LITERALLY 40. (and still older than Karen Gillan)

muh trannyslop

Nigger grow up or at least go back

The biggest problem with the 10 hour movie structure is there is clearly only two hours of interesting plot development and 8 hours of boring side quests. So many subplots of prestige dramas could be cut out completely and only improve the pacing. The average episode of Star Trek from the 60s told an entire adventure with buildup, stakes, climax, and resolution in just 50 minutes.

Dafne Keen is 100% white

She's half Spanish, and a very large % of Spanish people are darker and do not identify as white.

A lot of Breaking Bad fans are of the opinion that the best episodes are ones where it slows down and it's more like a normal day for Walt and Jesse and nothing hugely shocking or dramatic happens.

we cant make tv series anymore

it costs too much to fly to canada to evade taxes

my cousins charge to much for editing services.

the actors arent available

fuck off retard. they are not going to spend money on producing more content if you dont force them too

It's all just so tiresome.

Absolute top kek case of this for Fast & Furious. They keep recasting the kid who is the son of Dominic Toretto (because different amount of time happens in-universe than it does irl with movie release dates). Now, F&F 10 and F&F 11 are meant to be a two-parter, a single story split into two movies, but Dwayne Johnson shenanigans caused F&F 11 to come after a whole 3 year gap after 10, so they'll have to recast the kid AGAIN. His changing appearance has already been memed to death and back.

this is what she should look like

Unfortunately she does look like the kids burnt, flattened , blasted to death in gaza right now.
