Worried by her by height. Never in my life I have seen someone worried by any actor who’s playing a comic character height and I have seen people get worked up over some ridiculous stuff
Nothing wrong with her wanting to look like herself.
Virgil, speedster cousins, and the Kid Mercury AU strikes again!
I still haven't seen what project Starfire has been cast in? A Titans live action movie? TV series? Or what?
A TV series. This one seems like it’ll actually be made considering we’re getting actresses already (Raven has been revealed also).
Casting unknown PoC actors in high-profile movies/shows is a trend I wouldn’t mind staying.
“Starfire isn’t black.” She ain’t white either tho.
Simply amazing cosplay!

Your statement is quite absurd. When it comes to acting roles the appearance is the least that matters. What matters is their acting skill and that's how they're casted. Making them look like the character is just costume and makeup. Not everything is exact. It's all not really relevant that a POC was casted as her, I mean Kory is an alien.
A tall alien which is why my post was about. Excuse me for wanting tall girls and women to see themselves represented in a hopefully positive light instead of as jokes as is often done. Plus then maybe the fandom will stop shrinking her in their fanart and fics.

Baby she "two inches" off, she'll be ��
She’s supposed to be over 6 feet tall, that’s more than two inches.

I mean they make Robert Downey Jr look tall for Avengers
Yeah, I know it's been done before so I know it can be done. I just hope they do it. :)
So yeah, I can’t wait to see all the fan art of Anna Diop’s Starfire.

I hope you know how ridiculous you sound
How so?
Yay for Starfire being played by a POC. But I looked up Anna Diop’s height and she’s 5′ 8″ which is too short for Kory. I realize finding an actress over 6' might’ve been hard so I don’t completely blame them but I hope they do something to make her appear taller. Especially if they choose taller actors for the guys because she should not be shorter than them.
