It's difficult to criticize Zendaya without being mistaken for a chud who is still upset over a POC MJ.
Simple: just don't bring up her role as MJ. Honestly I don't understand why so many people get bent out of shape over the actors skin color not matching their mental image, or previous portrayals. Oh no, her skin color is a little darker than it was in a comic book oh nooooooo.
They're fictional characters in a fictional world.
Its like all the people complaining about the little mermaid and how "she wasn't black!" motherfucker you are arguing about the skin tone of a MERMAID.
Zendaya has plenty of other mediocre roles to pick from.
Funny thing is, I really first noticed how little she's on screen because of Dune, and I think pt 2 has her best acting I've seen. She just isn't as good in a lot of other stuff.
Here's the thing.
