tma voice actors rated on how well they would play the character in live action

Jonathan Sims as The Archivist: 3/10. He just doesnt look pathetic enough. Its the poor little meow meow factor. He gets some points for looking like he might be just a little bit insane tho. Also, fun fact, when I started the podcast I was having trouble picturing Jon so I looked at a picture of Jonny and immediately went "...no. he doesnt look like that"

Alexander J Newall as Martin Blackwood: 0/10. Alex is an evil little man and you can tell by looking at him. Even without the suit, there's malice in those eyes. He is neither gentle nor a giant. Just an all around unpleasant experience, not a Martin!!

Alexander J Newall as Jared Hopworth: -10000/10. No explanation needed

Mike LeBeau as Tim Stoker: 9/10. Im pretty sure he is actually s1 Tim. He's very charming and good looking and just generally has the right personality. Season 3 is harder but I bet he has the range physically too!

Lottie Broomhall as Sasha James: 7/10. She looks very sweet and nerdy! Shed be a good fit. Not like shes around for long anyway...

Evelyn Hewett as Not-Sasha: 5/10. She also looks very sweet!!! Which is the problem!!! I dont think shes creepy enough... but that might actually make it more creepy?? Idk man, take a half rating

Ben Meredith as Elias Bouchard/Jonah Magnus: 4/10. Hes just not scary! Not to mention too young. However he gets points because it would be absolutely hilarious

Lydia Nicholas as Melanie King: 8/10. Something in their face just says "Im a nice person but I could kill you if I wanted to." I think she would really pull off the woman slowly losing her mind look

Hannah Brankin as Jane Prentiss: 7/10. I mean. Shes gonna be covered in worms anyway. Anyone will look terrifying with good enough sfx

Hannah Brankin as Rosie Zampano: 4/10. She looks very sweet but I feel like Rosie has this very specific vibe of well concealed yet visible rage that Hannah just doesnt have. Plus I imagine her being a bit older

Frank Voss as Basira Hussain: 5/10. Theyre too sweet! Basira is very serious and I just dont think I could be intimidated by Frank. They could definitely do the more emotional moments but they just dont look like they would hold someone at gunpoint!

Imogen Harris as Helen Richardson: 4/10. Similar situation to Not-Sasha. She doesnt look unhinged at all but the lack of unhinged energy might actually be creepier? -1 point for not having ringlets. Idk why I just cant imagine Helen without ringlets

Luke Booys as Michael Shelley: 15/10. Just put a wig on him and tip to toe that is a Michael! He has the perfect energy. Theres just something in those eyes that says "I have seen madness beyond your comprehension and I have become a part of that madness." I think hes an avatar of the Spiral irl based solely on his face. He doesnt even fit the canon description but hes just so perfect you cant cast anyone else

Fay Roberts as Daisy Tonner: 10/10. Ze looks very graceful and gentle yet also like ze can and will kill you which is the exact energy I get from Daisy. And their hair is so perfect for her too!! Like yeah thats Daisy!!

Carrie Cohen as Mary Keay: 10/10. Shes got the unhinged old woman energy down to a SCIENCE!! She is TERRIFYING!! Good for her!!

Sasha Sienna as Georgie Barker: 6/10. He looks very sweet, very strong cat mom energy but the problem is they just look too innocent. No offense but I just dont see death in her eyes

Guy Kelly as Mike Crew: 8/10. He looks pretty much exactly how I imagined Mike but I dont think hes tiny enough. Hes gotta be a real short king

Jessica Law as Nikola Orsinov: 11/10. Youre not allowed to cast anyone else!! Shes perfect!! Like Nikola doesnt even have a face but if she did thats what it would look like. There is a reason she gets typecast as a sentient human shaped object and its because she slays it both vocally and physically!!

Lowri Ann Davies as Lynne Hammond/Celia: 8/10. Im just enjoying imagining her in a cult

Francesca Renee Reid as Julia Montauk: 10/10. My only justification for this is that I am gay for both of them

Ian Hayles as Trevor Herbert: 8/10. Needs a little more chaotic bastard energy but nothing a little makeup cant help. Give him a more fucked up beard and put some dirt and blood on him. Thats Trevor!

Jon Gracey as Gerard Keay: 2/10. Hes Not Even Goth. Like I know you could just dress him up goth but its just not the same! We need an authentic goth actor for accurate goth representation! Points for being a weird nerd tho

Alasdair Stuart as Peter Lukas: 7/10. Alasdair is way too wholesome for Peter and I dont think I could be intimidated by him or see him as pathetic. HOWEVER I am giving him a bunch of extra points because I simply thinks he deserves to play Peter in live action. Alasdair is the OG Peter kinnie and who am I to deny him that right?

Russell A. Smith as Oliver Banks: 9/10. He looks so nice and handsome! Yet also a little depressed at the same time! Give him some dark circles under his eyes, and yep, he's Oliver!

Helen Gould as Laverne: 10/10. Theyre such a comforting presence. She could totally be a therapist. I would tell him all of my problems

Layla Mannings as Manuela Dominguez: 5/10. Shes too adorable! She doesnt look like someone who would try to extinguish the sun!

John Henry Falle as Arthur Nolan: 2/10. He definitely looks insane but not in a landlord kinda way ya know? He looks like he would commit arson but not like he would be a class traitor

Karim Kronfli as Simon Fairchild: 0/10. Hes like 50 tops. Simon is like 500 and appears 100. We need a man whos fucking decaying

Richard Soames as Eric Delano: 1/10. This Dude Is Like Thirty

Chioma Nwalioba as Annabelle Cane: 9/10. Shes adorable!! And I think Annabelle is adorable too!! She would look great in some vintage clothes. I would tell her all of my secrets I dont care if she would use them against me <3 I cant imagine her as a giant spider tho but Im sure she has the range

Ray Chong Nee as Mikaele Salesa: 10/10. He really does look like he would sell people cursed shit, he just has that eccentric vibe. Seems like hes a big dude too. Definitely the kind of guy to dramatically play the piano to reveal he was alive all along

Mabel Syrup as Dr. Jane Doe: 10/10. Looked at her instagram for ten seconds and nearly went insane. My brain cant process any of this. Thats the kind of vibes we need. Good for her

Anil Godigamuwe as Arun: 10/10. I literally just imagined him as Anil the entire time. I cant separate the actor from the character

Tim Ledsam as Jordan Kennedy: 10/10 but only if he wears the Gunpowder Tim getup and this is never addressed

yeah, that's totally a fair stance to take! the meta i mentioned, if you haven't already seen it, is in this post: dathen (.) tumblr (.) com/post/617119320357666816 (the whole thing is a solid meta, the specific discussion of georgie cutting out jon is in the last couple of replies to the post)

Ok? I read it? I agree with it precisely as much as I agreed with your summary of its points (which is. not.)

like. Yes in walking in on Jon she was muddying the waters and that's not good behaviour. but I think this meta is a) phenomenally mean-spirited and interpreting all of her actions ('all her actions' being two brief conversations) in the worst possible light and b) leaving very little space for the fact that cutting somebody out is messy and difficult, especially when you're worried about them

I think it's a massive reach to say 'she was lying about coming to pick Melanie up' just because she's not being entirely honest about coming into his office by accident. There's a world of difference between 'she comes to Jon's workplace to shame him' and 'she comes to her girlfriend's workplace for a reason, overhears something that worries her, and sticks her head in to check in' and the interpretation both you and that post seem to have taken is the former which is. wild. like I have been in this situation, cutting someone out doesn't mean you stop worrying about them. was it like. best practise? no not really and I understand the disclaimer on the post is Nobody Is Perfect but like. it is a huge leap to go from 'Georgie is a human person dealing with a complex situation who sometimes missteps' to 'Georgie is a victim-blaming person going out of her way to harass Jon and break up his friendships' which is very...um, very much the vibe this post is giving me.

Also that reblog also says 'there is no Watsonian explanation for Georgie being there' which. yes there is it's just that nobody explicitly spells it out. Georgie comes into Jon's office specifically because she overhears him reading a statement and is worried, but tries to excuse it because she wants to maintain distance. That's not...complex to read imo.

Also I think literally everything said about the conversation with Martin is equally unfair. He asks why she's not talking to Jon, and she seems actively uncomfortable talking to him about it, so it's weird to me that this meta frames it like she's champing at the bit to tell him his friend is Bad Actually. She says she's not really talking to Jon in a context of 'oh you're Jon's friend,''yeah well kinda we're not really talking' which is.......relevant? this last reblog has really gone out of its way to frame Georgie as Actively Badmouthing Jon which...is not what I get from that exchange at all? what I see in that exchange is Georgie confirming (as much to herself as to Martin, but also to Martin, who works with both Jon and Melanie and could probably use the information that they're Not Friends Any More to cut off at the pass anything like like. idk. assuming Georgie is still supporting Jon, or like in a more normal situation maybe creating a situation where Georgie and Jon are in the same room and everything's awkward. like this is Useful Information to give to people in the same social circle as you). She doesn't want to talk about it further (that's really none of your business) and when pressed, stumbles somewhat to explain why she made the choice she did. And cutting someone off (especially if you're quite torn about it because you're still working about the person you cut off) is a difficult decision to explain honestly without it seeming like a personal attack. it's also very emotionally difficult. under which circumstances I think she walks the line pretty well until Martin actively says he doesn't think her girlfriend is worth saving. She does suggest Martin being close to Jon isn't safe but she doesn't say 'I think you'll get hurt if you stay near Jon' lightly, she says it as someone who has experience both of getting hurt herself and watching a lot of other people get hurt.

like, part of the significance of that scene is that both Georgie and Martin have withdrawn from Jon to save others (Georgie to save Melanie and herself and Martin to save the world and himself) but neither of them really know or understand that about the other at the start of the scene.

Like, I don't think this is a solid meta, especially not the reblogs, and it's not because I disagree with it - I see a lot of meta I disagree with but think it's solid. I don't think this meta is solid because I think almost all its presuppositions are off base.
