There's no comparison.
Jenna Ortega is legitimately a fan of the Addams Family and according to insider sources, is pretty much the only reason that show was even watchable. I thought her performance was very good in an otherwise mediocre at best show, and she clearly looked the part too.
Rachel Zegler on the other hand is pretty much the opposite in every way: everyone hates working with her, she's completely full of herself, and has clear and total disdain for the source material. Not to mention the rendition of Snow White she's starring in is clearly not actually snow white but a radically different story with appropriated characters.

Meh, really does not matter to me. It's just Disney being Disney in today's times, trying to shake things up. Although for me as a black person I think putting people of color in roles that have classically been white is just kind of ridiculous. I don't need a black Hobbit, Superman, Little Mermaid, etc. We should just make movies with people of color that are their own original ideas and characters, not racial mash-ups.
race for me is irrelevant with roles or characters
ortega is fitting for the role of Wednesday. the other actress, regardless of race is a twit who did nothing but complained and seems to have found herself fired. zeglers attitude is the problem not her race
i think they're trying too hard to be "relevant"
stick to the original character. i think ariel was way worse. she didn't have to be black. i get it, blah blah, "racist". that's not racist. that is not sticking to the character at all...

i really don't care. it's about telling a story. the story isn't about a white person. they stories about a girl who's part of a strange family and a girl who is in a bizarre co-habitating situation with a bunch of dwarves.
as long as the story is good i don't care who plays what part
Not saying you're freaking out or anything but i wonder if people lost their stuff when Mary Martin played Peter Pan.
Don't care. Rachel zeliga is getting trolled, she let it all go to her head. The problem with snow white is that it's been made a million times b4 and nobody has an instrest in woke nonsense. Disney is losing money because nobody wants to see these woke remakes.
Adams family is hispanic. Gomez, the father, is clearly a hispanic name.
Snow White is supposed to be white, as in snow white skin. She was of German culture. Disney is going to lose so much money on this trash, go woke, go broke.
Well, the character is Snow White, so it stands to reason that the actress (not actor) who plays the part should be pale. I mean, how would it be if for the role of Muhammad Ali or Martin Luther King they selected a white man?
I didn't watch either... There's nothing to think about given that they are bad movies with a bad cast of satanic communists. Your question is like asking, what did you think about a Spanish women being cast in glory holes 3 the movie.
The... Addams family are Hispanic... its a non issue, they went back to the roots of the comic strip.
As for snow white, I don't care that she's Hispanic I just don't like her as a person.She got really dark hair. That prevalent amongst Latin and is a hallmark of the Tuesday character. It makes sense. What impresses me is how this chick was in nothing. And then BOOM now it seems like she's in everything. I watched a horror movie with her the other day and I saw her pimping makeup supplies the other day in a commercial. Something that a serious actress back in the day would only do in the twilight of her career when the offers diminished. It definitely is a changed world.
It doesn't matter who did the casting, it has to be approved by the producer, director and studio. In this case it was ordered by the studio to cast someone non-white.
It doesn't bother me at all what bothers me is the bunch of BS that these Snow White has been saying.
Well I like Jenna Ortega so no problem there. Snow Latina may never get made so I'll keep my powder dry on that one. In other news Disney sucks!
Don't think much. One built up the charcter and franchise to boost her career, the other let it go to her head
Its ok with the Addams family, they were hispanic in the comic its based on. Its not ok with Snow White.
It's called 'fiction' there's no rule that they have to be white anglo saxon roles only.
I don't like it.
I have no issue with it at all.
I think nothing of it.
Jenna is amazing as Wednesday 🖤
I do not give a fiddler's fuck
Meh. Life goes on.
Father's name is Gomez. Lol
