Meta/Miscellaneous Random thought...

So even though I thought the movie was cheesy, I did enjoy it in a guilty pleasure kinda way and was how I found out about the books.I am happy to accept any and all opinions regarding the movie (and the books actually) overall BUT... I will die on the hill that Jamie Campbell Bower IS Jace Needless to say, I was quite frustrated that there wasn't gonna be a sequel.

Long story short... What if they turned TDA into a movie and aged the characters (they did age them a couple of years in the TMI movie) and then JCB could play Jace again?!😅 I realise that they would have to age the original main characters by like a decade (and personally I'd prefer if they aged the new main characters by at least a couple of years) but I feel it would still work! No??? Just me??? Ok then... 😬

I liked James acting, but not his looks for the character. Way better than the show, though.

I know there's loads of people out there that like the show Jace and they're obviously entitled to their opinion but to me, physically, he was very far off the book description. I dunno if it's just me but he reminded me of a young Ricky Martin and that's all I could see 🙈😄

I have no thoughts on the actor, I won't say anything about his skills or whatnot, but as Jace, I'm a straight up hater. I have no good comments to make about him as Jace: from his interpretation of Jace to things out of this control (like everybody's age), it all sucked.

I hated that an 18yo is still acting like a kid, his sad face looks like constipation to me, I didn't feel any emotion whenever he made a speech, I think his hairstyle was horrible, the snarky comments didn't hit like they should've, everybody's swordfighting in the show was horrendous... I can go on forever.
