Zendayas-left-leg

I wish they would stop giving attention to this discourse. We have seen this happening so many times now and it never has any efect on Z’s career. In fact she is only getting bigger to her haters despair lol. Some of Z’s stans that would be arguing with everyone have already understood this and stopped. But some still act like a post with 5k likes will end Z’s career.🥴

Mhm. And the fact that those tweets never reach viral numbers and would be even more irrelevant if less people paid attention to them. Zendaya will sneeze and it would become bigger topic that whatever is going on rn. Actually WE also should stop talking about it

It’s just simple the higher your profile the higher ratio of hate you get she knows this and smartly left social media . So it’s likely to increase the higher her profile becomes. I would curate my media to ignore the haters. The problem is some of the hate is started by fans who love to put down other actresses to praise Z which has a ripple effect of starting fights with other fanbases. It’s a similar thing where they start making insinuating Rob was staring at Z in one video which will lead to ruining Z easy going dynamic with Rob same as what happened with Timmy .Why even suggest such things on a person who is in a relationship with a baby the drama press tour went so well no awkward moments .There is always something Dune is a hotbed because of the changes Deni’s made to Chani not Z doing plus it’s filled with young actors so the comparisons will be nauseating when it comes out. So before then I would advise people who are sensitive to start blocking those haters now or if you want to defend Z buckle up but I would not take any of it to heart there is more love than hate .

Sometimes fans are worse than haters. As I just said some of her stans on twitter should stop setting her up

So I saw someone tweet the following: “zendaya will always be seen as inferior bc she doesn't push herself as a prestige actress but a movie star. but to anyone paying attention, she's using it to make interesting movies not just acting exercises”

It really cracked my brain. Because in the midst of people’s anger, I don’t think they try to analyze it in a nuanced way. Euphoria is a show, aimed for teenagers and young adults. Outside of Chase also being nominated this year, rarely do actors from shows garner toward teenagers and young adults get recognized at the primetime Emmy’s. They might get recognized at the daytime/childrens’ Emmy’s. I know people have mixed feelings about euphoria now and deserved, but euphoria was a phenomenon. It not only made a huge impact on its main target audience, but it also made an impact on older viewers too. It was a raw brutal depiction of being an addict and how it isn’t an easy road and it didn’t shy away from that just like it didn’t shy away from the other issues that the other characters were experiencing. The biggest appeal of euphoria and one of Zendaya’s biggest traits that appeals to me as her fan is rawness. You know it’s coming from a very vulnerable honest place. It wasn’t just the audience that connected to that it was her peers and critics that also connected to it. Just like even if some people complain about her performance in challengers, I remember posting Tashi being by the tree after she realized that she couldn’t play how she used to when I was depressed around my birthday and everybody knew what I meant. A lot of people use that moment to express their sadness. Or when she was at the actress roundtable and they all mentioned how they connected to Tashi in some way. Just like a lot of people resonated with Emma being so forgiving and loving and being so desperate for connection that she is willing to overlook repeated bad behavior. Not only that, but she doesn’t hold anger or contempt towards them. And I think that speaks volumes to Zendaya’s compassion and empathy for her characters, whether it’s in smaller films or franchises. And she’s only getting better and better as she gets older.

if Z was a white actress, film Twitter would have her on a pedestal. They would rub her two emmys on everyone’s faces. But because she doesn’t look like what they think the most popular actress of the generation should look like, they dismiss everything about her.

And with the kind of filmography she is building, I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets her hands on that Oscar before those white girls. In fact I would love to see it. Film Twitter would be in shambles. They love to say that awards doesn’t mean anything but in the same sentence they will point at those white girls nominations to validate their talent.

Yeah that's true but also I wish Z's stans on twitter stopped setting her up by bragging about awards, billings and box office numbers to stans of her peers

[zendayas-left-leg]

have you seen the obsession about Z’s white makeup that it’s going on? It’s crazy!

Girl, I've got multiple tiktoks on my fyp just today with some huge numbers too! Ernesto created something truly special with that makeup look

I'd add these two looks:

You know what’s interesting to me is if Saoirse, Florence, and Anya all won Emmy’s they wouldn’t looked down upon or seen as less than or be talked about as if they’re paid for or that’s the only thing that they watch so they’ll just automatically vote for it. This doesn’t just apply to the weird commentary towards Z I also saw this weird comment about people being disappointed that Chase was doing TV and saying as if it were beneath her. And look at that she got an Emmy nomination. Furthermore, if Saoirse had won one of her Oscar nominations, if Florence had won her Oscar nomination, and Anya had won her Emmy nomination- I don’t think the disdain and just outright, ugly hatred towards Zendaya would be as foul as it is. And also with those three specific actresses, it’s funny to me how Zendaya not being formally trained as held against her, but those three are not formally trained either. People make up lies about Zendaya’s background, but those three come from privileged backgrounds and but yet they’re seeing is having life experience, but she isn’t seen as having life experience. They’ll be compared to what Rachel Zegler has gone through and I’m not trying to dismiss any hatred that’s happened to them. But it’s really odd to me that you have Zendaya right there who has faced hatred but I guess because she’s popular and I guess because a lot of people like her for different things I guess it comes off across that she’s impervious right it can’t possibly bother her when she’s literally talked about it bothering her😕

I hate it so much when talented and hardworking women are pitted against each other. Stan culture really fried some people's brains. I will just say one thing, it will be entertaining when Florence's stans that belittle Z's Emmys wins now will change their tune when/if Flo gets nominated for East of Eden.

The most recent discourse makes me wanna have a meme of tapping the sign

“we don’t like Zendaya and we do not think that she is worthy of her success. We do not think that she’s better than her peers than anybody who thinks she is just as good as her peers are better must be morons and they can’t realize that film is objective and acting as objective like we do! Let’s just ignore all the interviews of her talking about her love for acting, the love for the women that she portrays, and her love for the art of film and let’s just make up lies saying that she doesn’t care about acting she doesn’t care about her work. And it’s not just limited to that let’s make up lies about her personal life too!!! she’s a rich Nepo Barbie after all!”

I am a bit surprised that she still keeps her social media because I think it would be hard to see all that even if it’s for a brief moment to post a picture, it would be hard to keep it. People are just so mean and for what? No one is making them watch her. No one is making them engaged with her work, engaged with her as an actress, engage with her as a person or engage with her fans. I really don’t understand.

She barely uses instagram and her twitter was dead for years. We know she still lurking from time to time but honestly this whole discourse is so irrelevant I wouldn't even know about it going on rn if some of the accounts I follow weren't mentioning it. Also from the looks of it, it's the usual suspects stirring the shit and they do it every time she receives attention for her performances. They will double down on it in December too, they're too predictable so just laugh and move on. I've seen those tweets and views to likes ratio speaks for itself

Flo and Anya fans believed their fav would be the main female leads in Dune three because the director said he would expand their roles. Theyre shocked and mad because Zendaya is getting a bigger role than them again.

We don't know the scope of their roles yet. But I do see how her being second billed, featured on the poster and being very prominent in the trailer could led them to be pissed because they always being compared to each other on stan twitter

[zendayas-left-leg]

film twitter at it again with their bs “Zendaya can’t act” takes after the Dune trailer dropped…

they did the same for Challengers and The drama

can’t wait for it!

Eh they do it every time. Just imagine, she got nominated for an Emmy, Nolan called her perfect and Dune trailer dropped that made people excited for her performance, but here they go again with the same silly takes. This "criticism" is never in a good faith, it's just resentment towards her success and insecurity

[zendayas-left-leg]

I wonder if the solution is blacklisting the question or I guess statement (?) from both sides so it doesn’t bleed out onto Spiderman press, Dune press, and Awards season. I noticed there wasn’t any kissing questions during The Drama press other than that one time in Paris when they were asked if Tom & Suki were okay/jealous with Z and Rob acting a relationship out onscreen, which THANK GOD btw because I felt so bad for Z having to deal with that bs back to back with Dune Part 2, Challengers, and the worst instance of all…. someone had an opportunity to ask Z a cool question about her performance & choices of Tashi (Lord knows I have a million) and they had the audacity to ask her who was the better kisser between Josh and Mike.☹️

I get that the journalists are trying to get a viral moment but when they constantly do that, people might conflate that with her getting the role because of him (not that the asking if he was okay with it really helped, that was weird on Nolan’s part) when they’re both good actors with their own respect and merit from all over the industry + the general audience.

Sorry for posting a day later, I got a busy weekend. But apparently that story was included in press notes. That doesn't mean they all had to ask her about it... This is not the most interesting thing about her being in this movie. Ask her about that school paper she did on Interstellar, about her handing an Oscar to Hoyte and now getting to watch him work, about the fact that Nolan allowed her to sit on set and watch him on her day off, ask her about the crazy year she's having, about her jumping between the sets last year... Or deeper and more nuanced questions about her craft...

There were few good questions but I've heard bits about Tom being the bearer of the news, about perfect score and about Nolan finding humanity in Athena too many times to count atp.

To be fair to those journalists they didn't know what others were asking, but don't you want to ask original questions?

[zendayas-left-leg]

Okay, this story is cute and all but there's so much more you can ask Zendaya about...

[zendayas-left-leg]

Oooh George Lucas don't make that face (also Z and Timothee make Natalie and Hayden look like they're amateur theatre kids, lmao)

Nah, Natalie is great actress, we don't need to pitch women against each other.

Also I watched their trilogy once years ago and never looked back, not a big newer star wars fan, original trilogy remains superior for me

From that small bit we got to see of Z as Scytale as Chani, I think Z would kill it if she plays an unhinged psychopath or a deceptive villain. She looks so eerie and mesmerizing (and seductive as well) in that scene, literally the stand out of the trailer for me (even better than the screaming crying scene at the beginning). I'm so excited to see her performance in the movie, I know it's going to be so devastating, raw and maybe unlike anything we've seen her delivered before. Thank you Denis for believing in her and give her such scrumptious material

Denis might have given us a taste of what Villain!Daya could be 😈

Saw someone say that this might be the score for when Chani dies... I don't think any of us would survive watching this movie in theatre. Z needs to never agree to play another character that dies after suffering their whole lives again

I can't listen rn so tell me how heartbreaking it is

[zendayas-left-leg]

I absolutely love the friendship Rob and Z developed.It’s so cuteee

I can’t wait to see more of their interviews for Odyssey and Dune

Mhm, not a hint of anything beyond platonic, just pure dorky vibes.

I can't wait for Dune interviews after watching THAT scene, would be really fun to hear them talking about it
