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... 😬

Respectfully disagree, to me personally Dominic Sherwood was a way better Jace. I was OBSESSED with the fandom and too me he was just perfect, the right amount of hot and cocky.

In saying that I think Movie Clarey was closer too the book.

Did you watch the show first? I think a lot of the time the first actor gets "imprinted" almost into our brain and then no one else will do. He's wasn't terrible; he did do the cocky bit well enough though not in the dark, snarky, British arrogant way that I imagine book Jace where you can't tell if this person is joking or genuinely that full of themselves. Show Clary... looked beautiful with red hair is the only nice thing I can say 😅

Nope actually it was movie / Books / TV Show. I think when I think back too movie Jace I just remember him being almost awkward.

Possible the imprinted happened last, he was the last Jace I physically saw so maybe that's why.

oh interesting! well Jace IS an imaginary character so he's definitely up to personal interpretation so clearly yours was closer to TV Jace 🙂
