It's so confusing that there are two different actresses named Peyton List.

[thatgum_youlike]

for real! my millennial ass always thinks of the mad men actress first lol

[zibbydoo324]

Lolol I just looked her up on IMDb and completely ignored the other one. I read your comment and was like “wait. What!?”

[theoryofwar]

Neither of them are in this movie, but there's also Danielle Harris and Daneel Harris(Ackles, but I know her by Harris). My dumb ass always gets them mixed up!

I might have to stan her. I LOVE bunk’d & always am like “what about bunk’d?” when I’m with my nieces. Plus, I love cobra kai.

[mickeygang]

I think I'm stanning. She is so pretty in Cobra Kai!

[zibbydoo324]

Yup. And her body is so sick in cobra kai too. I love how her & the girl who plays Sam look healthy and strong.

I know we supposed to be eh about her character but I'm here going yes girl give us karate!

I know enough about the industry to think "...is this just a chance to cast a 'prettier' woman? I bet they're hoping to cast a prettier woman."

But hey, unexpectedly blow my mind if you can.

It's so shitty the way they are fixated on making women beautiful. She wasn't inside or out. While she was more attractive during that time in her life A. why do you need to tell the story of when she was beautiful??? she was a cold blooded murderer. and B. she still wasn't the Peyton List type of beautiful, more like a Kate McKinnon character. Just fucking stop sexualizing murder, ffs.

[somebellend]

iasfm! It's why I prefer fictional female killers to real ones. Like it's easy to root for Amazing Amy from Gone Girl because she made our darkest fantasies (AKA ones we'd never actually carry out because we're not unhinged) come true, whereas genuine (female) serial killers have many relateable backstories but understanding their pain is not the same as condoning their actions.

Absolutely not

hmmmm do we really need another aileen wuornos biopic? and written/directed by a man at that? idk
