We doing that thing where we are stupid lefties who pretend the actor IS the role? Emma Watson is sooooo smart because Hermione. Am I doing this good?

Recently I tried a Netflix show. The main character has these powers that are really needed in the world, so she winds up being called a saint in the story. I have read an article where the actress playing the (BTW yellow-eashed) main character gets called the "literal embodiment" of a saint. She is an annoying, plain-looking, uncharismatic, not very talented actress. But the "we are too smart for religion" libs pretend she is a literal actual saint because she plays a character who gets treated like on.
In the original book it is a plot point that she is uncomfortable with it and she doesn't feel like it's a good thing people put that pressure on her.
