[Neil Gaiman's Good Omens and American Gods]

[(Anonymous)]

How is this the same fandom? (Or do you mean Fandom in general?) Fans of a book aren't automatically in the fandom of an author's full bibliography.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like the overlap is probably extremely substantial

[(Anonymous)]

Most Neil Gaiman fans have probably read these two.

[(Anonymous)]

In this case though, it's pretty likely there's a big overlap.

[(Anonymous)]

Finish the quote. "Probably the most suitable word is "attractive," although people who knew what it meant and could spell it might add "vivacious," although there is something very Fifties about "vivacious," so perhaps they wouldn't."

Attractive and vivacious could say model to me.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I always pictured her as pretty, but just maybe in a somewhat unconventional way.

[(Anonymous)]

Uma Thurman

[(Anonymous)]

I think that's basically what the description is getting at. The actress they cast is very pretty, but perhaps more conventionally so.

[(Anonymous)]

Er, how about the "face put together hurriedly" part? That says "Mrs. Potato Head" to me, haha.

[(Anonymous)]

That doesn't say model at all to me. That says not conventionally pretty but attractive because of force of personality and liveliness.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, you're also picking the cherries from the cake and deliberately forgetting the whole "face looks like it was put together in a hurry" part.

Her features are individually pretty, but she's not particularly attractive when they're put together. Like, her nose is pretty on it's own, but it's too small/big/narrow/wide for the rest of her face. Her lips are also pretty, but same problem.

[(Anonymous)]

They're not the same fandom. If they were, they'd be arguing about whether Anathema is a POC.

[(Anonymous)]

So... you say the actress for Anathema is not fitting because she doesn't look like she's described but you apparently have no issue with Shadow's actor? If anything, the actress is much closer to her role's description in the book. With Shadow, it's "let's cast this very obviously black man in a role that is described as POC but so ambiguous people never know where to place him, race-wise".

[(Anonymous)]

Shadow is explicitly mixed-race in the book (last chapter, for those who missed it all the other times). Ricky Whittle is mixed-race. That's why no one has a problem with the casting. A mixed-race actor was cast to play a mixed-race character.

I don't have a problem with Anathema's casting either fwiw.
