They’re the new Bradgelina.

How come they don’t have a celebrity couple portmanteau though? Something like “Tomdaya?” Or “Hollandaya?”

The singular name Zendaya throws them off.

I just got back from The Odyssey (it's shite, Leguizamo is the only saving grace) having known none of the cast beforehand except Matt Damon, and it was kind of offputting when I saw they were both in it tbh. At least they had no scenes together.

I really enjoyed the odeyssey. I felt like all the actors did quite well. Personally I don't really pay attention to who an actor is irl, not something I ever cared much about.

Although at first I found Holland a bit out of place, but by the end he was good

holland is alright, overcast but alright. zendaya is terrible

spiffmeister@aussie.zone · 14 pts · 3d

I thought Penelope did a really good job, but other than her and Matt Damon most of the cast was a bit eeeehhh I thought.

I thought the "Zendaya has only one expression" memes were a bit mean but nah, spot on.

affenlehrer@feddit.org · 2 pts · 3d

Fully agree.

Yeah anytime I see any of them in a movie it just takes me out of it. I cannot feel immersed they just don't seem to fit in

Tom Holland as Nathan Drake. Gawd, the visualization of Hollywood power and nepotism.

RedAggroBest@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3d

How? Not great casting by just going with the biggest name, but I really fail to see the nepotism.

ICastFist@programming.dev · 3 pts · 3d

Next up: Tom + Zendaya + The Rock

No way, these two have barely started their overused (over-cast?) status imo. For the longest time it was just Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and Tom Hanks in every other movie.

Gods, the number of Depp movies that had Helena Bonham Carter in them was a bit nuts for a minute

RedAggroBest@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 3d

Blame Tim Burton for loving them both too much (actually married HBC).

AVincentInSpace@pawb.social · 2 pts · 1d

Don't worry, they also sometimes cast Awkwafina
