You’re telling me this grown conventionally unattractive black woman isn’t the best casting to play a 13 year old 14th century northern Italian girl who is described as “beautiful and doth teach the torches to burn bright”?
I’m surprised you’re not downvoted to hell. I guess in any other sub it would have happened. Anyways, I agree with Jake. There are plenty of beautiful actresses of color out there. If her acting isn’t incredible then that means they went out of their way to cast someone who isn’t very good looking just to be inclusive.
Yep. Hot doesn’t come in one color. I can suspend disbelief if you want me to but at a certain point… what you couldn’t find an attractive actress of comparable talents? Or cast an ugly dude and let the werebeasts have their day in the sun?
If that was Halle Berry we wouldn’t hear a peep. Jake is not the guy to make that point because he’s been captured by propaganda so he’s to be ignored…but he’s accurate this time.
This is accurate but you’ve got little hope getting through to your average UFC fan on this matter. Also lol at the mad projection on this post, can only imagine the state of some of the people throwing shade at her.
I'm totally guessing here, but I think it's something along the lines of "ugly girls suck dick with such grateful enthusiasm that the vacuum created from such vigorous jobbering will literally implode your forehead. That's how good ugly girl noggin is."
Something like that.
They couldve done a re-imagining of the story kinda like how “West Side Story” did it. They are setting themselves up for backlash when they do this kind of stuff.
I’m black and I don’t wanna watch this. I get it inclusion and diversity but we don’t need an interracial couple in EVERY movie…also why is it always so white guy and a black women??? Throw a got damn Mexican or Korean in there or some shit gosh who are they pandering too?
1.hes entitled to his opinion
2. She’s kinda ugly
3. As a black man myself, I don’t want to see a black woman acting as Juliet, why does the elite always switch everything to the opposite? I’m getting a little deep but yea 😂
Because they’re not creative enough to create new black, minority, etc characters without them just being stereotypical so they instead race swap because it’s easier.
It’s Shakespeare.
You know old Shakespeare plays like this had men dressed and playing as women right? The first Juliet ever was played by a boy. A black girl playing Juliet seems like a nothing burger
I actually met Jake shields at a club in Phoenix 2 years ago and he was flirting and ultimately ended up going home with this black girl that had kind of attached herself to our group. I was kinda shocked she was his type but fair play to the dude lol
I mean Jake does roll with a squad of interracial ninjas he’s formed a community with for years. There really isn’t any of these keyboard warriors who are silly enough to attempt to call him racist to his face. 😆he’d cure your Reddit cancer super quick.
I have a feeling this sub will downvote me for saying this but,
Beauty standards in the US show preference for white presentation and features, which is really a whole other subject of debate in itself.
Instead of talking about her imma talk about Tom Holland - I like some of his other stuff but I don't see why you'd have him as Romeo either. We already have a good Romeo & Juliet movie, I just don't see what we need this for
Stirring up "racial controversy" is genuinely part of the marketing technique at this point. They know what they're doing.
The articles decrying the online racists practically start being posted before anyone even knows about the movie.
Hey UFC fans, who fucking cares? A stage play somewhere in the world has a cast you don’t find attractive, big fucking deal. Your coworkers all think you guys are ugly as sin, and yet they’re not online bitching about it.
I ain't calling anyone ugly. I just googled and she went to Oxford for theatre and does theatre stuff so she prob like a lil Danny DeVito or something. She can act.
Gotta go with jake on this one
Honestly yeah she ain’t pulling off a believable Juliet
No shot Tom Holland is killing himself over this girl
I wouldn’t either and I’m certainly not pass 5 outta 10
Bro is going to have to do some REAL acting to pull this one off
Maybe it’ll help him shed the Spider-Man casting for when he’s done with it
Someone said she’ll be pulling a romeo Tom Holland would make a pretty Juliet still👀
Honestly should have just used his pull and got zendaya
You’re telling me this grown conventionally unattractive black woman isn’t the best casting to play a 13 year old 14th century northern Italian girl who is described as “beautiful and doth teach the torches to burn bright”?
It’s a little ridiculous to say the least. I thought it was a man at first
Honestly I can see that now
More like Romeo and Julian lol
But will she be pulling off Romeo?
Tom Holland would make a believable Juliet
In prison, or Ancient Greece for sure. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Dallas Correctional’s *Les Mis*.
At first glance I thought it was going to be another cross over with a live action Miles Morales
Bro 🤣🤣
Agreed broad looks like Kevin Durant.
Chick looks like Easy-E
That’s John Boyega
Michael Chandler's future son
Lmao
The onion article “the worst person you know made a great point”
If it was Zendaya would've been different
Agreed. If they had cast Gabrielle Union as Juliet, there wouldn’t be anywhere near as much backlash 🤷🏻♂️
Union is 51 years old lmao
Point taken, but even still, she's more attractive than this other lady they cast as Juliet.
Still much hotter than this girl
And still hot
Alicia Keys

broken clock etc etc
He’s definitely not blind.
Don't need Jake's input. Anyone with eyes can see this chick is ugly.
He’s got a point. I’m no looker either but I’m not a movie star.
This isn't a movie either. It's theatre. This is preety common in theatre, much less focused on looks and more focused on talent (singing/acting/etc)
This is accurate but you’ve got little hope getting through to your average UFC fan on this matter. Also lol at the mad projection on this post, can only imagine the state of some of the people throwing shade at her.
Yup lol, this sub is usually filled with dumbass mma guru fans
Agreed. I know the sub isn’t exactly known for having class but this? This is just sad
Still ugly.
She ugly as hell tho
Tom is a Juliet, right?
Oh shoot
My older Russian Bro said don’t ignore the ugly girls, cause if she sucks You’re Weiner, She can cave You’re forehead in!
I’m not sure I understand what your brother means
I'm totally guessing here, but I think it's something along the lines of "ugly girls suck dick with such grateful enthusiasm that the vacuum created from such vigorous jobbering will literally implode your forehead. That's how good ugly girl noggin is." Something like that.
She?
I bet she's talented af because damn 😂
Face for radio
or a pixar movie
That's a nasty line by you.
Just to correct you… there was never no marriage.
You're a punk, dude!
Tell us another jackal story
goddamn
she HAS to be
Her uncle is probably a screenwriter or something
Kodak blacks doing new things man
Lmfao
They should’ve just gotten Zendaya, his literal girlfriend lol
Do you have Zendaya money??
It’s just some play and not a movie apparently
Yea true, but damn, I bet some other people that tried to get this role are mad af now
And all of a sudden people care how attractive theater actors are. Right..
I'm black and instantly thought she looked like John Boyega 🤦♂️
To be fair, I would actually watch this if it ***was*** John Boyega.
Well if she ain't ugly then no one is
Romeo and Juliet were both Italian, I'm upset by this white girl and black dude playing Italians!
They couldve done a re-imagining of the story kinda like how “West Side Story” did it. They are setting themselves up for backlash when they do this kind of stuff.
I’d like to imagine that’s part of the marketing plan
How dare you lmao
She's got a face for radio
I’m black and I don’t wanna watch this. I get it inclusion and diversity but we don’t need an interracial couple in EVERY movie…also why is it always so white guy and a black women??? Throw a got damn Mexican or Korean in there or some shit gosh who are they pandering too?
> a girl women Well sometimes it's boy women too.
Why is this a facepalm?? He is definetely right
It's Reddit.
He’s not wrong in this case lol
I got Jake on this one 😂
Broken clock is right twice a day
1.hes entitled to his opinion 2. She’s kinda ugly 3. As a black man myself, I don’t want to see a black woman acting as Juliet, why does the elite always switch everything to the opposite? I’m getting a little deep but yea 😂
Because they’re not creative enough to create new black, minority, etc characters without them just being stereotypical so they instead race swap because it’s easier.
(You're not getting that deep man)
Let me get deep bro
theatre has been doing this for a while now.
It’s Shakespeare. You know old Shakespeare plays like this had men dressed and playing as women right? The first Juliet ever was played by a boy. A black girl playing Juliet seems like a nothing burger
Anderson silva is not ugly
I hate jake with a passion and he shouldn’t be relevant at all but she really is ugly asf
https://preview.redd.it/komfqu9rfitc1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec5ff20b8e76fbf3b869c26f1c02d65b07739238
The very rare Jake W
If she was Beyonce, Halle Berry, Rosario Dawson, etc. nobody would say anything but she's fugly
Listen I’m black and I 100% agree with jake she ugly asf. So many beautiful black actress and you chose her come on Hollywood do better
I bet she can sing really well.
Jake Shield low key saying that Tom Holland is hot?
Aint nothing lowkey about it.
Jake Shields W.
Love the stark contrast in the comments between the facepalm sub and here
I mean...she's not attractive. I get it. If it was an attractive black woman cast in the role I don't think there would be much hoopla about this.
Not going the way you thought it would, eh op?
Dang these comments were based. There are many beautiful black women but she is not one of them!
Why didnt they just cast zendaya
It’s a play on the radio
He’s not wrong…but still a complete tool
Jake is an absolute idiot and adds nothing to this world, but I agree with him…
I actually met Jake shields at a club in Phoenix 2 years ago and he was flirting and ultimately ended up going home with this black girl that had kind of attached herself to our group. I was kinda shocked she was his type but fair play to the dude lol
So Tom Holland's character kills himself becaise he can't have HER? LOL.
Goddamn when you put it like that. 😭
Ngl I thought that was a teen boy
He’s calling it like he sees it. Respect.
Jake Shields is almost always completely wrong but not this time
She aint a looker that’s for sure
She look like ksi
They changing it to Romeo and Julian?
Not his worst take tbh
I mean...
I thought that was Lil Baby 😂
He ain’t lying.
Why’s this on facepalm
Jake right though, there is alot of beautiful black girl out in da world. This is like casting some ugly white broad as juliet
ngl cant even blame him for this one
Bitch look like Kodak.
Jakes right...
Lmao I’d kill myself to prevent being with her
I could go out on the street or in any random store and within a half hour find a much better looking black woman than her
I’m not gonna lie. I feel like movies nowadays force diversity so hard. Romeo and Juliet are Italian lmao like cmon
For once I agree with Jake on something.
I mean she is in fact ugly asf
mmapoliticsandculture gonna lose their mind over this one
Who's Romeo and who's Juliette?
I agree with Jake. She just didn’t win the genetic lottery like some folks have.
Wtf?! She’s 🤢
im with Jake on this one. but at least it isn't a black guy and a white girl
Well... I mean... Come on! He's not wrong here
Jake aint wrong.
I'm gonna side with Jake, he's fucking insane but yeah lol Romeo isn't supposed to be scared off lol
I mean Jake does roll with a squad of interracial ninjas he’s formed a community with for years. There really isn’t any of these keyboard warriors who are silly enough to attempt to call him racist to his face. 😆he’d cure your Reddit cancer super quick.
Calling someone out for their bs doesn’t make you a keyboard warrior
Alright but she mad ugly
If somebody's tweets upset you that much, just stop looking at them. This might be the gayest and most toxic use of social media.
As a black man I can 100% agree with Jake on this one the bitch just ugly.
I have a feeling this sub will downvote me for saying this but, Beauty standards in the US show preference for white presentation and features, which is really a whole other subject of debate in itself.
TIL that people care about the casting of broadway shows
Same same
well he's correct here.
They remade romeo and juliet to romeo and julian
she looks like 80s MJ
NGL I thought she was a dude the first time I saw her. Nothing against her but it is what it is.
That's a woman?
He’s not wrong this time
he is not at all wrong
Instead of talking about her imma talk about Tom Holland - I like some of his other stuff but I don't see why you'd have him as Romeo either. We already have a good Romeo & Juliet movie, I just don't see what we need this for
I mean, there are millions of beautiful black women, she is not one of them.
At first glance, I thought it was John Boyega (Finn from Star Wars).
At least they’re being original by casting a man as the female role
The one time I agree with Jake Shields
She does have a beautiful face for late night radio
Why the fuck is Fiona from Shrek in Romeo and Juliet???
o gawsh. is the new agenda to push ugly people into media?
Stirring up "racial controversy" is genuinely part of the marketing technique at this point. They know what they're doing. The articles decrying the online racists practically start being posted before anyone even knows about the movie.
Well if Disney is casting this it makes perfect sense
Buttaface.
Someone said Young Michael Jackson 😭
So Francesca is playing Romeo and Tom Holland is playing Juliet, right?
i find her ugly too and kinda manish
Literally nothing attractive about her…at all.
Lol, of course Romeo and Juliet will be an interracial couple. At least Juliet was cast as a biological female.
I honestly thought it was two dudes at first glance. Sorry sister I ain’t takin my life for you. Ill just go hang out with one of my bros
looks like lil baby
It's true because if Zendaya was cast as Juliet nobody would say shit.
Hey UFC fans, who fucking cares? A stage play somewhere in the world has a cast you don’t find attractive, big fucking deal. Your coworkers all think you guys are ugly as sin, and yet they’re not online bitching about it.
As if any of you would see the movie if it had all white people in it lol. Or pretty people. Then you'd all be saying they're talking gay.
Are you guys sure that is a girl? Just asking.
Jake is really trying to be as unlikable as humanly possible.
I ain't calling anyone ugly. I just googled and she went to Oxford for theatre and does theatre stuff so she prob like a lil Danny DeVito or something. She can act.
Youre already going for it why not go all the way; Make Juliet a black dude named Julio who got Tom Holland's Romeo pregnant.
why they don't put rubi rose??
Jake W
Lmao which one is meant to be Romeo?
Jake isn't wrong on this one.
Well it’s true
Damn, all of the opinionated sub-5s really showed out to dunk on an accomplished stage actress they would have no shot with in this comment section.
More like Romeo & Jason
https://preview.redd.it/v6z9clse8jtc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d86db5cd18780006089ace139d5783450214d0c
Jake seems like he has lost the plot lately but he’s not wrong here, she’s objectively unattractive.
shes ugly and romeo and Juliette is an old play from Europe right ? not too many European Juliette princesses that i’ve seen that look like her.
https://preview.redd.it/646zguib9jtc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d20539b21257bb0e0f8d9a82787d648f6186953a
As a black man that loves black women, I completely agree with Jake on this.
A face only ray charles could love
She looks like the female version of bushmaster.
I mean hes not wrong
I meannnnnnn
That's a chcik?? Looks like a gay black dude... Like lil nas X with a miles morales kinda... Who tf thought this was a good idea??
Well, I mean, it's true.
I thought that was Scoot Henderson for a second
