In addition to being a bangable alien she's also a bankable alien.

It's time we expand our Zoe Saldana pallet. What can we do with an Orange or Red Zoe? What heights can we reach with Yellow?

Is the world ready for Purple Saldana?

For those out of the loop, Zoe Saldana starred in Smurfs and Shrek.

We need red Zoe and Yellow Zoe. Uhura from Star Trek wears red but isn't ACTUALLY red so that counts as half a Technicolor Zoe maybe

Yeah this was a meme like 3 years ago when Endgame came out (ex. 3/5 multi-billion dollar movies have Zoe Saldana in full body paint). Good work posting something original.

I have to clarify that I point this out because the odds of OP just re-hashing some meme or post (that would have came back to the front pages of Subs related to Marvel/Avatar due to the release of Avatar 2) is much higher than him coming up with the same thought on his own. Its scientifically proven internet users aren't original.

Real question- possible racism? Like, she's more marketable as anything other than black or Latino dominican?

I understand you're being sarcastic but its not that hard to understand that this is too specific a thought for some rando to come up with again on his own, especially when it was jerked around so frequently on Avatar/Marvel Subs back then, which is something OP likely would have seen given his interest in both subjects. Quit acting stupid. Or perhaps its not acting at all lmao.

After looking up her imdb she's been in more than I, or probably you, realized. Pirates, Star Trek, My little freaking Pony(some weird white and green bird thing), and more. Also why looking why does it show Avatar 3 and 4, 2024 and 26, respectively???

The blue or green of her skin never hid her blackness though. Just as Sam Worthington's never hid his whiteness. She's just a great actor that has been really lucky and happened to get hue-shifted a few times.

If I had a nickel for every multi-billion dollar film franchise that features an unusually-coloured Zoe Saldana, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

And genre movies tend to be the most profitable because scifi and fantasy have really good mass appeal ever since the eighties, so you're more likely to see technicolor characters in high-grossing films.

It’s interesting what sort of opinions you can get out there, mainly on the internet. What I can say for sure is that I found it very pretty.

Also that according to some videos I saw on YouTube later, there was some real impressive things done for the sfx they achieved.

I liked the story too. Fairly straightforward yet still enjoyable throughout imo. I just, well, liked the film lol.

The first thing people bash in a movie they don't like these days is the vfx. They're often the same people falling for amateur blender fakes and shitty photoshop all over reddit and tiktok.

My point is most people don't actually know what good and bad vfx looks like, it's just a convenient way to hate on a movie.

I also don't get this. Rami Malek is American, with Egyptian parents. He played Parsi-Indian descent British Freddie Mercury and he does not exactly resemble Mercury. He had two hours of daily make up including a prosthetic nose to play Mercury. I haven't seen any criticism of that- film got four Oscars and any news comments about the makeup is with praise about how they achieved the look. Why is Saldana's case different?

It’s ignorance. Rami caught a little flack from the online minority about why an American actor was picked to play Pharoah Ahkmenrah in Night at the Museum. Some people just want to complain for no reason.
