I’d argue that it’s not really Zegler’s fault… Not that there’s anything special about her performance, but there isn’t really anything wrong with it, either.
What's not her fault? The article isn't about her performance in the film, it's about the pushback and resulting pile-on from conservatives to her casting and public comments prior to release.
I would feel more confident in this film if it were animated. After decades of bad Zelda cosplay fan films, I find it very difficult to imagine a live action Zelda film not looking completely ridiculous.
I've been saying this all season, so it's hardly surprising, but it is good to get some confirmation from the creator. I'll keep watching for now but it will make the decision to drop the show a lot easier if it continues meandering in Season 3.
How does this apply to the thirteen year old in the story?
It doesn't, because I am not referring to children here. They are not the ones whining in this thread about being too poor to date or women being too picky, those are real adult men not fictional boys from a TV show.

and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won’t be maintained for much longer.
Possibly true, but abandoning ship is only bringing us closer to that timeline. People seem to be completely ignorant/delusional about how much work these forks will require to maintain if Mozilla's full time employees stop working on Firefox. If you have a practical reason to use another fork (like maybe a feature Firefox doesn't have) then I totally understand using that instead, but if you are simply making some kind of ethical protest change like all the new LibreWolf users who are so loudly virtue signalling at the moment then you need to think seriously about whether this course of action will ultimately end up hurting your ideals. Mozilla definitely has a big communication problem and I understand the desire to distance oneself from an organisation that repeatedly disrespects its supporters and never learns from its mistakes, as it is very fatiguing to endure their constant failures and the massive fall-outs from them, but ultimately I feel like switching away from Firefox is still an emotional decision rather than a rational one.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the AI upscales mentioned, but AI did a lot more than just "making it a larger resolution". It fundamentally altered and degraded certain visual aspects of the films.
I'd like to watch this and Annihilation again. I've only seen each of them once, both around the same time, and my memories of them are pretty fuzzy at this stage.
This is the type of list someone you meet at a party who "loves movies" would give you.
RIP, this was a good project.
