Pulling from the flashback (I am somewhat suiting facts to my theories), it could be that this is her 'base form'. It would be interesting to know if her hair and makeup is part of the shift or not. Alternately, it could be she just adds extra height for the added implied power.

How did they try to make her ugly by not having her use make up. That's just her face. If you're ugly without make up you're just ugly. Which is certainly not the case here but she shouldn't feel like she needs make up to be pretty.

[@clatterslam]

​@@david6avila Well, there's a huge difference between movie make-up and real life make-up. They most likely still put make-up on her in the films where she had to appear more masculine, they just didn't apply eye or lip make-up like they would to feminine characters. Make-up can change the way you look a lot, and the make-up they did on her in those shows just might have accentuated features on her face that she didn't like, I guess. For example, it's very common for women with a fair complexion to be insecure about having blonde eyebrows and eyelashes, so just wearing foundation without any mascara or lipstick to bring the colour back into her face probably made her feel like she looks gaunt and washed out. Personally, I feel like I look better with no make-up on rather than just my foundation and concealer without any blush, mascara, lipstick etc, so I totally see where she's coming from when she says she felt ugly. She doesn't mean that her face just is naturally ugly, but that the make-up she had to wear made her look ugly, yaknow?

I hate the fact that in order to portray women as strong and intimidating they have to basically dress them up and make them appear masculine. That is the most ridiculous idiotic thing any executive, writer, or director has come up with.

[@gigiblack2231]

100% agree. I think a woman looks more powerful when they embrace their femininity.

[@themysticwarriorgal9465]

hope y'all know there r women that don't dress feminine

[@tallerwarrior1256]

@@themysticwarriorgal9465 Yeah but they’re in the minority. Also I’m specifically talking about women such as Gwendoline who are normally type casted to play “strong female” roles which present the idea that women have to dress or appear masculine in order to physically demonstrate that they’re tuff or strong, especially if they have a hunkier body type. There’s also this other terrible cliche which is that strong women have to be extremely rude, narcissistic, and self righteous in order to demonstrate some sort of independence. This not only is extremely untrue but it is also a terrible example to put out for younger girls. Strength comes in setting an example for others, working with people, and setting aside opinions or beliefs in order to accomplish a greater means. That’s how most strong women in films should be written.

[@themysticwarriorgal9465]

@@tallerwarrior1256 there r more than 3 billion women I can tell u we aren't a minority. U also have to look at the character's background she's playing. For example brienne of tarr was not a stereotypically feminine woman. Her character wasn't meant like that. If this actress didn't like it I guess she shouldn't have been picking roles like that🤷. I'm also finding it problematic that nowadays a woman needs to wear makeup to feel beautiful. In regards to the statement u made about women needing to be masc to be strong I honestly don't see a problem with that. Strength presents itself in different ways. If she's masc and strong I see nothing wrong with that, if she's fem and strong I see nothing wrong with that. Society isn't lacking feminine and strong female characters. And what I want is for flawed, strong female characters. I want to see more rude and narcissistic women in tv. I could care less if a female character is feminine or not I just want her to be flawed and imperfect.

[@tallerwarrior1256]

@@themysticwarriorgal9465 Okay A, masculine women are a minority. If you look at the 3 Billion women around the world most aren’t masculine. B, the actress literally stated that she was happy that she was FINALLY OFFERED a role in which she could wear makeup. Meaning that in the past she most likely wasn’t offered any feminine roles due to her size and body type, believe it or not Hollywood is very specific on what actors and actresses can play and very few are allowed to “pick roles”. Also I never said anything about women needing to wear make up to feel beautiful, in fact my preference is women who actually wear less make up. But anyways I was speaking on the fact that I’m tired of Hollywood always trying to stereotype strong female characters as being masculine. Of course there should be female characters that are masculine however I wish that those characters would be used when necessary rather than as tools for producers, writer, and directors to create strong female characters. As for women in film and television being narcissistic, rude, and self righteous. I find it that a lot of the time those characters are always painted as being in the right. Normally this type of character is never wrong and never learns any lesson on how to treat other people fairly and with respect. They always seem to talk down to others, act as if they’re the smartest person in the room, and constantly play the victim. A character can’t be flawed and broken unless they learn to pick themselves back up and fix their mistakes or lose in the end because they were unable to do so. A character being flawed or broken and winning in the end without learning a valuable lesson or overcoming something about themselves is just bad writing.

you didn't actually listen, did you? Peter dinklage got his break with Living in Oblivion, not Game of Thrones. The role of Tyrion very much requires a dwarf, Living in Oblivion did not.

[@itsanoformethanks6277]

GoT belittles Gwen and Dinklage for their looks/height. They shine through, but it’s still difficult to show up everyday to set to play the “dwarf” or the “ugly woman” role.

Actually, no. GoT played INTO their height stereotypes. So they didn't actually "believe in them" in fact after GoT it made it harder for them to find roles that didn't go against the stereotype. This video is about height discrimination not how they got big breaks

Imagine casting actors for their height, instead of their acting capabilities

[@Amferam]

A lot goes in film making. Framing and character screen presence are very important on how you feel about what’s happening on screen. The cold truth about it is they are looking for people with specific looks for characters. Take Thor from Marvel for example. If Chris Hemsworth wasn’t tall and buff he wouldn’t make for a believable god who is suppose to be strong and intimidating in battle.

[@solidussnake1906]

@@Amferam I have a film background, I understand why it's important. That being said, to tell an actor you're not fit for the role because everyone else we've cast so far is either shorter or taller has to feel awful. Or whatever other reason they give to them.
