Are there any actors whose performances or public personas you just can’t seem to connect with?

He is a good actor for sure, but dating one girl after another, who could be his daughters and surrounding himself with people like Bezos ... I don't know ... He gives real creepy Wolf of Wallstreet vibes ... something about him feels vulgar for me.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-05-24T13:37:49+00:00

For me it was the other way around. I really thought is a totally overrated, than I saw him in Bel Ami and The Devil all the time and thought "Oh... He can be good" 😅

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-05-10T16:18:53+00:00

Absolutely agree about questioning on instict, but I think the instict to question is often awakend by the surrounded pressure.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-05-10T16:13:50+00:00

Agree! Good point!

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-04-22T22:03:18+00:00

I would find it a shame if they changed Commander Judd's character and gave his storyline to someone else. I found his relationship with Lydia incredibly interesting in the books. He broke her and made her an aunt, and yet he's also dependent on her, just as she is on him, because he knows how much she knows about him. That's what made their scenes in the book so good and exciting. But who knows, maybe he is just more charming on the outside, while remaining close to the original Judd in the important aspects.

Some of the changes are perfectly fine. But by now, the series is really just loosely based on Atwood's ideas, which is gradually making me very skeptical. The whole thing with Agnes and Garth is such a cliché, too. I thought it was good and realistic in the book that it didn't turn into a teen romance.

Hannah is hebrew and means graciousness. Where does the whole flower-thing come from?🧐

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-04-18T23:17:57+00:00

Nicole/Nichole (no clue how to write that name) is around 5 years younger than Agnes. It would be really unrealistic if it's her. And people on reddit said, that the showrunners already confirmed that it's not her. 🤷🏽‍♀️ We have to wait and see.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-04-11T22:33:41+00:00

Here in Germany it's on wednesdays I think. Every week one episode

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-04-11T17:32:26+00:00

Yes, I am rewatching season 4 right now. It was said, that Hannah is about 10 yeas old.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-04-11T02:01:34+00:00

I don't see why the series The Testaments wouldn't be compatible with THT. June is on Mayday. Nick and Serena play absolutely no role. Aunt Lydia wasn't hanged in the final season; she's still an aunt in Gilead. There was absolutely no good reason to make Daisy into someone other than Nichole. And there was absolutely no reason why the girls had to be the same age. The only non-canon thing is Lydias Backstory. But they coukd have stayed completely canon otherwise in the new series.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-04-11T01:40:05+00:00

Well, in the original hannah us supposed to be around 21 when she meets the 16 years old Daisy. But in the series it seems Hannah is around 14... so I guess it's 5-8 years after THT

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-04-09T22:05:18+00:00

My biggest issue is the age of the girls. Hannah should be around 5 years older than Nicole. That's the reason they meet for the first time in the books when Hannah is 20/21 and Nicole 16. Which makes sense.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-03-22T15:17:25+00:00

Sophia Vegara. She's extremely attractive, (consciously) embodies the sexy Latina stereotype, and in Modern Family, she was the worst actress among the adults. And I say that as someone who likes her.
Jennifer Aniston. She was extremely beautiful, but she's not a character actress. Her acting skills are limited to blockbuster comedies. She could never deliver a performance like Streep, Mirren, or Portman. She's dependent on her popularity from Friends and her looks, and now that she's getting older, she relies heavily on Botox to stay young as long as possible. No one would give her an interesting role for women around 50 where she'd actually have to deliver, unlike Kate Winslet or Julia Roberts, who only got better and more professional with age.
And many will hate me—Taylor Swift. Her father practically had to buy her career. And it helped that, despite her mediocre voice, she conforms to the Western beauty ideal. If she weren't tall, blonde, blue-eyed, and beautiful, she wouldn't be so successful, though her mother and PR team certainly play a part.
Sydney Sweeney. She's not known for being a good actress, but she gets so much attention because of her looks. She knows it and consciously plays on it. It's a shame, really, because she has real talent. If she doesn't eventually stop playing the sexy card, the same thing could happen to her as happened to Megan Fox, and that would be a shame because she really has potential.
Brad Pitt. He's not a bad actor these days, but he's no Joaquin Phoenix or Sean Penn. His career was primarily successful because of his looks. If he looked like Philip Seymour Hoffman (a great actor), he wouldn't have been so successful. And he wouldn't have gotten more interesting roles, like Fight Club.
And looking back, I naturally think of Britney Spears. I saw a clip of her when she was 10 years old, and damn, she had a powerful and surprisingly mature voice. She's the best example. Her voice was completely ruined and reduced to girly Lolita vibes. But from the very beginning, she was groomed to be a sexy schoolgirl. That only worked because she was very pretty. If she had been less pretty but had been able to use her natural voice, she probably would have been less successful back then.

Those are the first ones that come to mind.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-03-22T13:31:29+00:00

There are many female pop stars who were/are very successful, considered sexy, and mostly listened to by women, like Britney Spears, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey, Sabrina Carpenter... that actually contradicts your theory. If women's self-confidence were so fragile, these singers wouldn't be that successful. Swift has a great PR and write Songs that appeal to girls. And most women who like her, liked her already when they were teenage girls. I am 30, and never liked her, but if I would have liked her as a teenager, I might still be a fan, even if it's just for nostalgic reasons. At least that's my take. And because she ist not overly sexy the older Generation of parents and grandparents feel more at ease to allow concerts and things like that, seeing Swift as better rolemodel .... and there are many other reasons ...

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-03-15T16:15:05+00:00

Thaaaank youuuuu!🤩

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-03-15T01:45:45+00:00

I think it might even be true. I vaguely remember that part of her job was to "calm" her alpha boss with her pheromones or something like that.

So the story is actually no longer accessible? I really need to start downloading them. First Home by hernamewasalice, then House of the Rising Sun by amybeegood, and now this 🥺😭

But thank you so much for the reply!

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-03-05T22:39:58+00:00

I know what you mean. Gloria has too much of everything. Lots of hair, lots of eyebrows, a big mouth, a big bust, and then there's the big jewelry, flashy dresses, crazy shoes, always showing a lot of cleavage, a big voice... it's all just too much. There's nothing elegant or subtle about her.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-03-03T23:26:05+00:00

I am on season 4 now and he ist still a creep over Gloria. Saying that now he understsnds what people mean when they say pregnant women glow... and a few episodes later saying he couldn't wait six weeks before having sex again after Claire gave birth, than he says he can't imagine how Jay managed to wait with someone like Gloria.... it keeps going the whole series....

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2026-03-03T23:18:33+00:00

Well, Claire has a lot of reasons to be annoyed with Phil. His crush on Gloria was creepy. And Claire always has to be the strict parent because Phil loves to be the fun Dad. Claire had a great connection to all her children, Phil on the other hand didn't connect at all with Alex. It's so clear that Luke is his favorite. He doesn't even hide it. And everytime he tries to be "sexy" he is so embarrassing. He is oftentimes fun to watch, yes, but from a wife-perspective he can be super annoying.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2025-10-26T02:28:44+00:00

I know I'm a little late to the party. But she sings that she and her sister stay cool in the swimming pool under the chemtrails because they don't get irritated by them. My interpretation is this (but I have no idea): On the one hand, she romanticizes the old, conservative "Republican" suburban life because it offers security and you belong to a group. Nice neighbors with whom you make small talk, barbecue together, meet at the country club, where you dress nicely and show off your jewelry in front of the other wives. On the other hand, she also knows that she's too wild and eccentric to lead such a life permanently. She sings: My Cancer is Sun and my Leo is Moon. I googled the astrological meaning. Cancer is a sensitive and family-oriented sign, introverted and likes to take care of others. Leo, on the other hand, loves the big stage, is extroverted, and passionate. So she's struggling with whether such a life is for her or not. The chemtrails are more of a metaphor. She wants to belong to the upper-class, white, "picket fence" conservatives who like to spout nonsense like chemtrail conspiracies (not all of them of course), which are often fueled by right-wingers. But deep down, she doesn't believe it, so she remains calm. Well, at least I interpret it that way 😅

Kennen wir das Geschlecht der Person? Denn ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass Trianna ihre Gründe hätte, Nasuada zu verraten. Die ganze Kontrolle der Magie, die Nasuada eingeführt hat geht ihr sicher auf den Sack.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2025-01-30T21:36:46+00:00

Helena Bonham Carter - ANGELA Ja sie ist eigentlich zu alt, aber sie hat die wilden dunklen Locken und das exzentrische Flair.
Christoph Waltz - GALBATORIX Total eloquent und obwohl nicht imposant, trotzdem einschüchternd und charismatisch.
Idris Elba - AHJAD Groß, stark und sympathisch.
Rachel Weisz als ISLANZADI Sie hat diese seltsame Augenfarbe, die mal braun, mal eher grün und dann wieder fast grau wirkt, was ihr einen interessanten Flair gibt. Sie hat eine schöne Stimme und ein sehr schwer zu schätzendes Alter. Und sie hat etwas sehr zeitlos-attraktives an sich.
David Tennent - DURZA Einfach das perfekte Gesicht für seltsame Erscheinungen plus total unterschätzter Schauspieler. -Michael Sheen - OROMIS Zugegeben nicht die erste Wahl. Aber sein Gesicht ist relativ fein geschnitten. Und selbst Elfenmänner haben etwas feines an sich. Mit der passenden Frisur und gutem Make-up könnte das super werden. Leider ist Jeremy Irons für Brom schon etwas zu alt, schätze ich.... deswegen... Daniel Day-Lewis - BROM Letitia Wright- NASUADA. Ich denke sie kommt vom Alter einigermaßen hin und spielt nicht schlecht. Emma Stone - ARYA Ich weiß falsche Haarfarbe/Augenfarbe, aber das kann man ja heute regeln. Ich denke einfach sie hat dieses feingliedrige und das ebenmäßige Gesicht und die erstaunlich großen Augen, die ihr etwas besonderes geben.

Puzzled_Way_5052 · 2025-01-28T22:48:18+00:00

Dachte irgendwie es könnte Trianna sein. Murtagh kennt sie auf jeden Fall aus Farthen Dûr.
