Besides those who don't accept a Latina as Cinderella, I saw most tend to like Jacinda more. The issue is not that a latina actress was cast as Cinderella. It is that the writers seem to confuse an ethnicity with a personality trait.

I know what you mean. I spoke about it in the character thread. I talked to some degree about their descriptions and how I'd hope they wouldn't shoehorn Jace as fiesty Latina, etc as that would be bad.

That statement of mine was more aligned to more toxic places (i.e. Facebook, lol) as I do look there to see a slightly more general view.

I think Cinderella just needs a bit more to breathe and part is on the actress, writer, and director. So, we'll have see as writers and directors do change and one could probably isolate the issue.

I think as Cinderella, she was alright. I think they probably should have taken a slower route with her rather than "Seductive! Angry! Revenge! Sad! Swordfighting!". So, characters become solitary traits either by poor writing or fast pacing.
