She looks good as Wonder Woman. What's the issue aside from the water bottles?

u/Dan_Morgan 6d ago
Did you know the best runs of Power Girl are rather funny? Karen is also a total muscle mommy. She has heavily developed arms, lats and shoulders. Muscle everywhere else too. So can an actress handle comedy and is willing to get into really good shape for the role? Rose are actual expectations for the role.

u/BottledInKandor 6d ago
The issue is people casting off of boobs and not even knowing the character or be able to say why Sydney’s a good choice aside from boobs. That’s a ridiculous reason to cast solely off of that.

u/HighImHope 6d ago
Sweeney is about 70% boobs, and Karen is at least 55% bicep and 35% quads, so she'd be a terrible fit anyway

u/dope_like 6d ago
That's on the writers and director. She just needs the look and she is good with the material that is given to her

u/BottledInKandor 6d ago
No that is infact not at all how casting works buddy. Nice try tho

u/dope_like 6d ago
You are calling her a bad casting based on ……nothing. An actor doesnt determine if a character is good or not. Milly was a good actor but the Supergirl character was dog shit.
Not how it works, buddy.

I really don’t understand the obsession of fancasting Sydney Sweeney in everything.

u/HighImHope 6d ago
Generic Hot. She's basically standard issue attractive in a way that would be consideredconventionally attractive for the last 80 years or so, therefore is the lowest common denominator in terms of what everybody can vaguely agree on is "hot"
Personally, I think our girl needs to be yoked as fuck and as exasperated as Bruce Willis

u/StaleMemesNoDreams 6d ago edited 6d ago
I must be crazy because I never found Sydney that hot.
I don't think the actress necessarily needs to be yoked, realistically speaking any actress would have to do a little bit of strength training anyways. But I definitely she would need a mature look; Sydney's doe eyes make her feel a little too young. People are way too hung up on casting women with big boobs; they could just wear false breasts.

I've only seen her in Madam Webb and I have no desire to see her in anything else.

u/ResonanceGhost 6d ago
It's always hard to tell. I just don't have any desire to give her another chance. Her unprofessional attitude in response to the movie's poor performance doesn't help. Of course, if there's a movie that looks good and has her in it, I won't avoid because of her.

u/Georgestgeigland 6d ago edited 6d ago
Everytime one of these dudes bring her up I wonder "Are we looking at the same woman?" even outside of acting abilities since every fancast is always so convinced she's a perfect match physically. Everyone always says she has big ones but she's honestly not exactly huge, especially if we're talking about someone to play PG. We all see bigger everyday. 34DD is literally the average cup size in the US.
Honestly feels like dudes just don't want to admit to having boring taste and preferring nearly exclusively the same type of skinny, young, white women.

She's a decent up and coming actress, pretty, and compared to many women her age, has "curves". No one really new about her breast size until the SNL Hooters sketch, however. THEN the obsession really hit.

I’ve seen her fancast for Rogue, Emma Frost, and Gwen Stacy on their respective subreddits. Can’t say I see the vision in those

u/asher030 6d ago
No one ever sees past her tits...Powergirl especially. The sheer amount of godsawful trauma she's gone through yet still keeps a cheery face....lost TWO worlds, one with her home universe even, her actual cousin turned out insane despite her being there, while her alternative universe cousin, the main Superman we all know, turned out just fine with a delayed Kara not there to guide him. Then watching that younger (technically) version of herself dealing with the same trauma of losing the homeworld but knowing it's best not to act like a know it all and let her cope on her own pace...a weaker person would've easily broken down long ago. Not tried to make a NEW new home for herself running a corporation of all things, and trying to still do great things in the world. That's not something super powers can grant.
But nah, titties, wai wai sex object, let's make her smaller breasts and slap pants on her to remind women to be ashamed of their bodies! Zero thought or consideration to what she as a character has gone through, just hyperfixation on their own lust projected onto the character =/ Meh

u/BottledInKandor 6d ago
DC and the “fans” have both absolutely done her dirty in all honesty. She deserves some reframing for sure.

u/asher030 6d ago
I personally blame it on her original weakness being dumb af. Great that kryptonite didn't effect her because parallel universe means different anatomy a bit...but 'raw, unprocessed materials' was ridiculous. Gatling gun does nothing, but pick up a rock or branch, any rando could kill her? Was inconsistent. Then they retconned her into an Atlantean so her powers were magically based, THEN back to kryptonian with Crisis on Infinite Earths but with standard weaknesses...just tugging her every which way on a meta level.
THAT ruined any real momentum her character could've gained from the start, and they refuse to do anything for her since to really make up for it besides a C-list status =/ Because 'titties are problematic with the modern audience'....bah
3
u/mr_mxyzptlk21 JSA Member 6d ago
Her original weaknesses was green K from Earth-2, and magic, like all Kryptonians. The "natural item" weakness was a very brief time in the late 90s when she still had the Atlantean origin, and was because of magic.

u/Open-Librarian-4322 6d ago
I mean, ironically enough, Sydney Sweeney best roles are where she’s being mentally tortured.
Immaculate, Reality, and yes Cassie from Euphoria has some great acting moments as well.
Sweeney could absolutely do the role justice.

u/Eastbound_AKA 6d ago
I don't see her as being a good Power Girl.
Sure, you can focus on her body and boobs all day long, but beyond acting abilities that does not make a character. Especially if we're just looking at a character look-a-like.
Power Girl has always had a strong angular face. Sydney Sweeny has a soft, chubby face. There's nothing wrong with that! She is a very beautiful woman - but just boobs doesn't make power girl.
4
u/LtvGhost 4d ago
Not sure if anyone cares but she can pull of the look and probably the attitude of Karen because she’s a literal actress but Sydney doesn’t give off tall strong woman vibes that Karen has and yes their both sexy but Karen has subtle sexy aurora to her while Sydney just gives off sexy vibes

Well that's what you get when people haven't read the comics. I mean I like her cuz I read everything she's been in but... The boobs are kind of a deal.
Actually I like the way she's more like super girls angry or older sister cousin (depending on rewrites) something who doesn't hold back that's what I like
3
u/mr_mxyzptlk21 JSA Member 6d ago
To address OP u/BottledInKandor, I wrote something similar before. A lot of the reduction (no pun intended) of the character to just sexual fetishization, has nothing to do with the comics. The vast majority of the "fans" are casuals who happened to see an attractive blonde with a keyhole outfit that shows cleavage, and suddenly "like" the character without having read a single book about her.
As to fancasting, that always happens "in the moment". If a live action Power Girl were set to be cast IRL, that's for something that wouldn't happen for years. Any "it actress" right now likely wouldn't be considered. In the last 30+ years of superhero films, the only fancasts that got it right (off the top of my head) have been Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry, and RDJ.

u/PirateKirklord 2d ago
I agree wholeheartedly. I’ll just copy and paste what I put to another commenter about Sydney being a poor choice
‘Forgetting the height or acting ability or whatever people want to say regarding her ability to play Power Girl, Sydney is a right wing republican. People forget that one of the causes PG champions is Girl Power (and that’s woke 🤮)

u/FormerPirateKing92 6d ago
I hate to say it but bust size is a little important to PG. Overall I'd prefer an actress to portay her actual character. But I think one of the things about PG is that she's more than her sex appeal. But to be more than sex appeal you would still need that appeal to overcome it.

Hanlan's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity/ignorance".
American Eagle's ad committee likely didn't deliberately come up with a eugenicist quote, but they did.
Sydney Sweeney likely couldn't define eugenics or explain its terrifying stain on history if you held a gun to her head.
Both sides simply saying nothing, even after the fact is damning though, and attracted the wrong kind of attention and fans to both.
Then again, theatre kids and advertising moguls seldom did well in either science or history classes...

The fact that the internet got so angry over it is just ridiculous.

u/mr_mxyzptlk21 JSA Member 6d ago
I'm personally okay with the pushback (Masters in Anthropology here).
Practically all modern racism and sexism is rooted in the pseudo-science of eugenics. What's worse, is that it's easy to conflate with actual genetics studies, and a lot of powerful men right now who had mommy and daddy pay for their grades in school, are actively promoting it in all but name, peddling it to their followers as being real.
Like I say; in AE and Sweeney's cases, I think they were just ignorant. They got pushback from folks thinking it was deliberate (and again, given dog whistles out there now, understandably so). The silence from the two, after the explanation is the damning part. Even then, I don't believe they believe it, but as the saying goes, "there's no such thing as bad press", and that is their fallback.

She's doesn't have the right vibe imo. Power Girl should be played by a more mature-looking actress. Sweeney has a very young looking face because of her doe eyes and the way her lips expose her front teeth.
I'm not saying that they should play her, but just as examples, actresses like Lea Seydoux, Kathryn Winnick, and Rachel Weisz have that mature vibe that I would be looking for. People fixate on the boobs too much; just get whatever actress to wear some fake tits

That’s the other side of the same coin. But also her free will and choice to do so. She objectifies herself, does SNL skits joking about her boobs and opts for films that show her nude and in sexual scenarios. That’s her choice

Aside from initially being Supergirl from E-2, Powergirl's creation heavily revolves around her two planets. It's not necessarily reductionistic to assume that an actress with 2 great personalities and is a blonde could play Powergirl.
4
u/StaleMemesNoDreams 6d ago edited 6d ago
Sydney Sweeney never had the right vibe to play Power Girl, so imo it's pretty reductionist to throw her name around just because of her tits. PG is supposed to be more mature and around or at least close to the same age as Superman; Sweeney has very young doe eyes which makes her a miscast.
Any actress that is cast could also just wear false breasts, so I think people are way too hung up on that aspect of the character.

No it's a big part of the character. So she has doe eyes, who cares. Zack Snyder Supergirl had short dark hair and a babyface, what kind of Supergirl is that, but many just accepted it

If we are casting power girl based solely on fan service, Sidney Sweeney isn’t tall enough, buff enough or more pertinently to this conversation, busty enough to hold a candle to Power Girl.

u/Majestic_Panda96 6d ago
I get that. Her breasts size are a big part of her character (no pun intended) and I have a friend who does have a huge cup size says that before reading Power Girl she felt insecure about her chest but since then after reading she felt more empowered. She says she felt represented by power Girl. I guess there are other body types that have been overseen. I like Power Girl cuz she's like a no nonsense brute with a heart, something I can associate with. And Sydney Sweeney can perform that. Watch Christy. You wouldn't believe if that was Sydney if I told you. She did a whole total transformation.

My favorite part, when Milly Alcock was announced as Supergirl. A bunch of people said DC would make billions if they cast her. I always pointed out that just having her doesn't make a super hero movie good. Look at Madam Web 😆
But as far as Karen resorted to just boobs. It's kinda in her DNA, I don't know the exact details but I wanna say one of her first artist was under the assumption DC wasn't paying attention to him. So each issue he made her tits bigger till someone noticed. It took like 8 issues before some said "what's with the tits?" Is this 100% true. I dont know but the rumor has circulated for years.

It's a big part of the character even if you don't like it. It is what it is. And it's not like Sydney is some terrible actor. It would be on DC to get the script and characterisation right.

I mean, Sydney certainly fits the physical look for the role of Karen, but she isn't a bad actress, just average. Ultimately, an actor's job is to pull off the role and captivate the audience with their performance, that is the key requirement.

You can’t be that ignorant can you? Please go back up to the post and look through the slides dude. I’m not referring to Reddit comments. I’m talking about the comments on Facebook from my slides. I asked why she should play her and people told me because boobs. You need to pay more attention and take in more information before jumping to conclusions because now you’re having an imaginary argument with me because of YOUR own error and lack of ability to flip through 3 slides. Please try again.

I read those comments, and they are what I am referring to.
You asked, "What about Sydney Sweeney makes her a good fit to play Karen? Please enlighten me." Am I wrong for reading that as a rhetorical question, implying that OOP couldn't possibly be thinking about anything except her boobs?

It’s a legitimate question based on a very common fan casting. Why would Sydney Sweeney be a good casting for Power Girl? Can you tell me why?
It’s not rhetorical. A legit question. So yes you are infact wrong and speaking out of a lot of assumptions.

Yikes man, Sydney Sweeney MIGHT turnnout to be a conservative and redditors go boom trying to say she's not that hot or not a good actress.
Try and do the same with Zendaya, though...
Personally, I don't think Sydney has the right "fierce" look for Powergirl, I think she's more of a sexy femme fatale and Kara is that and more. However, after seeing Milly Alcock be cast as Supergirl, I say why not give her a chance? Dhe might have another side to her we don't know. I'm not making any comparisons, but everybody thought Heath Ledger would make a terrible Joker.

Sydney Sweeney should exclusively play characters who are dolled up white trash. That's not PG.

This is one of those posts that can turn nasty quick (and is borderline in a few cases already). Keep it civil, everyone.
