hilary swank is the first time I’ve felt that yjs had a miscast. i mean, the physical appearance just isn’t there. and i will say that sophie thatcher and juliette lewis didn’t have a strong physical resemblance either BUT it was still a convincing casting because they absolutely NAILED the mannerisms of nat in a synchronized way that just doesn’t exist in melissa. probably because melissa wasn’t even given a personality until this season to act on
and im totally convinced the showrunners know it too because the fact that they had to add that fuck ass backwards hat to a full grown adult to tell us that it’s melissa was because there’s zero other identifying characteristics, physical or otherwise, and they know it
