”I wanted her to look like she should have a notepad on her at all times. I wanted her to be feminine, and soft-voiced, and all the things that we’ve been told are ‘weak’.

Despite Curry deleting her original tweet, she appeared to double down on her thoughts and replied to the thread, “Actors taking character criticism as personal attacks is mind blowing.”
And the comments didn’t stop there. Once fans began to notice Curry’s remarks she continued to voice her opinion writing, “I’m not allowed to say I didn’t find the fictional character believable due to her soft voice, small stature and curvy frame. Fictional. Not real,” she responded to one user, while telling another, “Next up, Jason Mamoa will find my criticism of his portrayal of Aquaman and will put me in my place with a strongly worded tweet on why he IS the perfect Arthur Curry.”
Lynskey made her first appearance on the popular show last week and stars alongside Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
