>target of bullying by White girls>has no friends at school at all>guys don't hit on her at school>only reason people know who she is is because of a gossip social media accountIs Carrie (2026) the most unrealistic portrayal of bullying ever?Why not cast a chubby girl with bad skin, bad hair and looks like she smells? Like you know, Stephen King made her?
>>223878312>bullyingshe's a ginger-spawn, so kinda.
>>223878312That type of character works for a book when you don’t have to see her disgusting face and body.Not for an 8 hour TV show.Weirdo Christian girls who have never been on the Internet or know what a period is would still get bullied in modern day high schools.
>>223878312To be fair King said a long time ago he felt OG Carrie was too difficult to like as a protag. No redeeming quality.This Carrie at least is nice at start.
>>223879007Only looks matter, anon
>>223878312>>target of bullying by White girlsThat happens in the book though
>>223878312>Why not cast a chubby girl with bad skin, bad hair and looks like she smells?Because then the audience would side with the bullies
>>223878312>guys don’t hit on her*The* Chad was hitting on her.
>>223878312No guy want a freckled girl with ginger hair! Yuck!
>Christian cultist girl>Full blown out makeup, mascara, eyeliner, lipstick,gloss and plucked eyebrows, but get this! her hair are frilly which signifies the type of straight laced family she grew up inBarthes who the media literacy crowd(the main target group of such bullshit adaptations) often quotes had written, repeatedly, and shitted upon Hollywood's intermediate sign which this is an example of
>>223880054this!!!!
>>223880054>>223879007This.people never realize that you can say a character looks totally grusome and get away with it because the reader isn't staring at it the whole time. especially when the character is supposedly to eventually look "attractive" or be a love interest by the end.
luv me summer
>>223881425based
>>223882554on what
>>223878312>22>still looks like jailbait
>>223881003Kind of reminds me of Mortal Engines and all the movie vs book complaints.
>>223878312>Why not cast a chubby girl with bad skin, bad hair and looks like she smells?Because no one would care. Same reason the story doesn't work if it's a boy.
>>223882707all zoomer actress are like this
>>223882974um no. most zoomers age badly
>>223882707She looks 22. You just don't know how young 16 actually looks.
>>223883038>She looks 22.no she doesnt
>>223883046Yeah, she does.
>>223883038
>>223883046Yes, she does. Dont be a simp.
>>223882974Wrong, look at Millie Bobby Brown and Dafne Keen, they both look like they're in their 30s
>>223878312She's cute, and that makes the show better. I don't see the the problem. Realism is overrated.
I'm watching this with my wife. Carrie is cute and pure and I hate the bullies. I want this to do well so Flanagan gets money to make Dark Tower.
>>223884451>She's cute, and that makes the show betterthis
>>223880054Well bullies were right, they just didn't bully her hard enough
>>223884726nice jeans butt
>>223884394>Wrong, look at Millie Bobby Brown and Dafne Keen, they both look like they're in their 30sthey are mutt whoressummer is an aryan queen
>>223880035Yeah plenty of white trash are bullies, especially the foids
>>223882974Kathryn Newton is turning 30 in a few months and just finished high school roles in like the past year, and honestly she got away with it because she has a chubby babyface. It depends though,>>223884394 agreed. They look older. So does Inde unfortunately, since she lost weight to get Hollywood thin.
>one of the biggest bullies is played by a tranny
>>223885549
>>223885563
>>223885572
>>223885578
>>223878312people couldn't empathize with such a creature
>>223885549>>223885563>mutts become trannies racial confusion -> gender confusion
Just finished it.7.5/10, certified kinoI only didn't love the ending with Kate Siegel's coven which I found a tad bit obnoxious and it was too teen drama for me, but otherwise great.I can't believe I watched the whole thing given I usually can't stand teen dramas but Mike Flanagan is some kind of wizard.I do kind of like the rewrite of giving Carrie a bit of a redemption and hopeful outcome at the end.But yea the girl who plays Carrie and the girl who plays Chris are both so good. And Margaret's actress of course is super strong. Also Matthew Lillard was really good too.I really liked Tommy's character.I can't believe Tina is transgender she was so hot.Brooklyn's actress is also a secret baddie.>>223884726I had that cued for last Halloween but never ended up watching it. So glad this actress is in more kino. I will be watching more movies with Summer and Alison in them I think.
>>223885982>I can't believe Tina is transgender she was so hot.fag
>>223886010
>>223878312>Why not cast a chubby girl with bad skin, bad hair and looks like she smells? No one wants to watch a movie with ugly people in it
>>223886010>>223886022She's like the perfect tradwife and her dad was based and redpilled.The only problem was her overbearing mom.I feel like the show is actually advocating for home-schooling in a subtle way.
>>223886010>>223886022I would bully her with my penis if you know what I mean
>We need to cast a bullied weird girl>Quick find me literally the cutest girl in the entire planet lolThe 4chan shitposter to hollywood casting director pipeline theory gains ground
>>223878312Summer looks like a mix between Sadie Sink and Brooke Shields.Honestly some of the scenes like at the construction site where she's crawling through the mud in the dark she looked just like Brooke Shields.Also the casting in general was amazing, because Summer looks a bit like Samantha Sloyan in some scenes, and Samantha Sloyan herself looks A LOT like Sissy Spacek.
what you all fail to understand is that this is set in modern times. Fatness, bad hair, bad skin, if a bully targeted her over this then she would immediately be cancelled, and since 90% of the bullying is done via social media, she needs an avenue that is acceptable to bully people for:> christian and deeply weird with it> late period> womanlet> freckles that bring her close to being a gingerAll this meanwhile compounded by the fact that outside of these weaknesses of character, this carrie is generally likeable, which is more commonly seen as a trigger for bullying in modern times: a likeable outsider essentially stepping onto the turf of the bully (in this case consistently someone who either is or sees themself as popular), being befriended by their clique which immediately causes insecurity in regards to their own presumed position, causing lashing outThe modern carrie wouldn't be an ugly cretin. The modern carrie would be a relatively unassuming, mousey woman who lacks social understanding and can therefore be targeted by insecure women seeking an outlet
Is she super sweet and innocent and honest through the show as the trailer suggests?The bullies are just mean piece of shits.Or did she do something judgmental and puritanish that ticked people off like in the book?
>>223886285>Is she super sweet and innocent and honest through the show as the trailer suggests?yes. she is nothing like in the book.
I like how the show acknowledges that there was nothing about Carrie's upbringing that was inherently bad.There is nothing wrong with Carrie White, she was genuinely nice and kind, too good for this world.Even chad noticed her.It's our society that is sick.I cheered her on from episodes 1 through the end of 8.I hope she burns down the world.
>>223886230shut up faggot
>>223886285She's sweet and innocent all the way to the end.
>>223878312>Why not cast a chubby girl with bad skin, bad hair and looks like she smells?I'd goon more if they did
>>223886306>>223886293so they make super sweet girl that just kills dozens of innocent people at the prom cuz of pigs blood?
>>223886306>She's sweet and innocent all the way to the end.no she's not. she gets corrupted by her power and the girl who finds her
>>223886326>innocentThey deserved it.>>223886343>corruptedNah man the world is corrupt. She's the purifying flame.They made her kill innocent chad, her OTP.They must pay.
>>223878312Going by this logic, it would make the most sense to make her a chubby black girl.
>>223886402>They deserved it.does she kill only bullies?cuz in the book she kills like 400 people
>>223886421>does she kill only bullies?nope. some of the kindest people too, mostly by accident.
>>223886421Consciously yes, only Chris.I think the only named innocents at prom are Tommy, Sue, Ms. Desjardin, and principal Grayle.I mean that environment only fosters bullies I think. The truly innocent people probably skip prom or are bullied out early like Brooklyn.
bitches do that shit all the time where they bully attractive girls because they are jealous and don't want the attractive girl to reach her potential
>>223878312>Why not cast a chubby girl with bad skin, bad hair and looks like she smells?Or Indian
>>223886303this
>>223886326for me it's the scene where she gets caught using a computer in the library by that girl and acts like she got caught watching porn
>>223878312why is she mad
Episode 3 delivered the mother of all kino scenes. How does Flanagan do it?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRxzDPtqs4o>Hey daddy!>Found my way home.>I had a good night.I want to watch a supercut of the show that's just the happy scenes of episode 1-3 where Carrie goes to school, talks literature with Mr. Morton, is invited to the party and ends with her happily going to sleep.
>>223878312If they gave the job to an actual fat, ugly girl noone would give a fuck about her being bullied, lest be real.
>>223886619bc jenna ortega and her chinless friend got waifu status and she didnt. she's my waifu though, you guys are too blind to see what's right in front of you. after years of bitching how they dont cast attractive white leading ladies in media, and then when they do, you dont watch, so fuk right off
>>223886805Most people here just haven't seen it yet.I only just finished it and wasn't really motivated to watch it at first.But I'm part of the /tv/ collective hivemind know that she already has waifu status, even if people are still unaware of her.
>>223878312Well, she is ugly.
>>223886888is she?
tfw you first see fisting
>>223886888>Well, she is ugly.you are ugly
>>223886022Absolute qt.
>>223886285No, she's heartbreakingly sweet and kind and essentially forced out into a cruel, ugly world she’s utterly unequipped to deal with.
>>223886609That was so great.
>>223878312Beautiful girls get bullied all the time. Mostly out of jealousy
>>223882707Not really. You just gotten used to people in their 20s playing teenagers. Actual 16yr olds look way younger.
>>223880015You can bet your ass that if a good-looking girl will start bleeding in front of everyone in school she will get bullied to hell and back.Girls are vicious, they'd take any chance they can to take out a competitor, especially a better-looking one.
>>223886306>She's sweet and innocent all the way to the end.wrong, anon. the show makes it obvious
>>223887320>You just gotten used to people in their 20s playing teenagers. Actual 16yr olds look way younger.I googled a high school sophomore class yearbook. This is what they look like in 2027. I didn't even pick the oldest looking one. Some of them look younger than 16. Some look like they are 20+. I could easily put Summer Howell in this yearbook and nobody would say she looks too old.https://mlhs.smugmug.com/2024-25-School-Year/School-Photos/Sophmores-Class-of-2027-FINAL/i-RQF3X9c/A
>>223887374>This is what they look like in 2027I mean this is from a class that will be graduating in 2027.
>>223887258>Absolute qt.
>>223886999
>>223887374Really? I disagree completely. Flipping through your link, many people even looked younger than 16. Like they just entered puberty. Howell looks completely adult. Obviously somebody aged 20+ years. At least she does in regular pictures. Of course they made an effort to make her look younger in the show
>>223887513you think pic related looks 16?
>>223887537Fair enough, that one looks more like 18. But on the other hand look at this one.
>>223878312>>223886010>>223886022kino eyebrows
>>223887374Its really interesting how most of the girls look more or less adult, while all the boys look stereotypically teenager
>>223887566the braces do it but the weight ages her tooi'd say about 15-16 for that one but Summer could still fit in that class if you look at her non-pro shots
>>223887621>Its really interesting how most of the girls look more or less adultthat's because these days, girls in high school try to look more mature while boys dont care about their looks
>>223878312Because that are the writters and team of this crap.
>>223887633Its more because girls enter puberty way earlier. They always looked more mature than the boys at a certain age. I mean look at picrel. That kid could try as hard as he can to look mature, it wouldnt do much
>>223887691>Its more because girls enter puberty way earlier.they are both done with puberty by 14, anon. back in the 1980s, girls would look more their age but now in the 2020s they are trying to emulate 20 something girls they see on tv and online.
>>223887722>On average, females begin puberty at age 10½ and complete puberty at ages 15–17; males begin at ages 11½–12 and complete puberty at ages 16–17Nah, there is a very noticable difference
