Love This Casting !! Always Thought Briane Tju Would Be The Perfect Cinder But Im Liking Alexa Loo As

love this casting !! Always thought Briane Tju would be the perfect cinder but im liking alexa loo as well!

I did a The Lunar Chronicles fancast

Here's part 1 with Cinder, Kai, Scarlet and Wolf!

Cinder (age 16):

She's supposed to be mixed, so I picked:

Olivia Rodrigo (2003. American. White/pacific islander: filipina)

Alexa Loo (2003. Canadian. White/east asian: chinese)

Kai (age 18):

Cha Eunwoo (1997. Korean. Note: not fluent in English)

Xiao Dejun (1999. Chinese. Note: semi-fluent in English. Tiny note: as a fan of him I think he would really like to act in something YA-like where he gets to play a prince)

They are both mostly singers/dancers but it's what I could find

Scarlet (age 18):

Kyra Leroux (2001/2002?. Canadian. Note: fluent in French)

Francesca Capaldi (2004. American)

Wolf (age 23):

Youssef Sawmah (1997. Lebanese/egyptian. Note: not an actor but a model)

Faris Al Bahri (age unknown but most likely 20-25. Lebanese).

I wanted to try and make an updated 2021 version that was as age-accurate and ethnicity-accurate as possible, so those two were my main criteria. So if they look a little too young it's because yeah the characters are pretty young in the books.

After that I considered acting experience, fluency in english (bc I imagine if this were to really happen it would be a Hollywood production ya know) and then physical appearance matching the canon description.

I put two options for each character, one usually a little older than the other so I basically ended up making two full(?) fancasts, for most of them the younger actor is more age-accurate.

This was very hard oh my god I spent like 3 weeks researching like it was homework for absolutely no reason

Shoutout to everyone on tumblr and tiktok that has ever made a fancast because I probably looked through ALL of them (special shoutout to tiktok user @/sista.krista, she started making a good one a while ago but unfortunately only did a few characters)

Also note: I didn't consider the "book trailers" existing on youtube bc I don't really like them lol

Also I tried to avoid actors who were problematic but I'm not super sure I did well on that, you can always inform me! I'd be grateful

Part 2:

Becky

The Lunar Chronicles fancast pt.2

Here's my part 2 with Cress, Thorne, Winter, Jacin and Iko! Cress (age 16): Kyla Matthews (2004. Canadian) She has played a character simil

Seriously. It also bothers me how so many of zukos colossal mistakes get written off because he felt felt bad and apologized, but god forbid one of the gaang, especially aang or katara, have a slightly unfair reaction and they are suddenly “toxic” or “annoying.”

I think the show itself feeds into this. Zukos arc is great but his join up with the gaang happened way too quickly. Realistically, Aang shouldve had a harder time accepting somebody who assisted in causing his literal clinical death. But the creators saw they only had a few eps til thr finale left by the time Zuko joined the gaang and decided they needed to include as many positive group interactions as possible. Everyones like “Aang is so forgiving tho!” Okay he can be forgiving and still be traumatiEd. Trauma is NOT. A competition but (lmao, the but. Im sorry i gotta say it tho) Aangs culture literally got genocided. Hes the one who lost the most, but because he always gets baxk up, his trauma is cast aside by the fandom. Like idk how many “gaang comforts zuko” or “gaang is protective of zuko” takes/scenarios i can stomach in such large quantity to anything else. First of all as if the rest of the gaang dont have to scale shitty experiences with life on their own. They all experienced tragedy except toph, but its only zuko who gets this immense level of sympathy?? It gets ANNOYING suffice to say.

I kinda get it cuz having absuive parents is far more relatable than everyone you know and love dying, but goddamn so many people in this fandom seem to hyperfocus on traumatized angst projection zuko and it low key pmo sometimes lol.

Obligatory zukos trauma is real and his arc is awesome. I enjoy his character in spite of the critique

I love Zuko but the fandom has a major problem infantilizing him
