I feel bad for child actors, it's why I prefer anime and animation for stories that include children over live action.
Why? Because it'd extremely rare a child actor has the talent that can match up to a seasoned adult actor and even harder if you're trying to find a child actor that looks like the character you envision.
They fail to match up in any way, and they suffer the kind of backlash they have no experience to cope with, remember Anakin from phantom menace? From the look of it by comparison they cast Ozai quite well.
So since this is going to be a dumpster fire, unfortunately her career is probably already over, as she was cast for the wrong role in appearance alone.
I also can't help but feel it's not good for kids' mental health to be forced to act out traumatic and awful things.
Call me "but think of the children", but we are totally accepting of the fact that certain roles are emotionally difficult and demanding for adults. Yet we chuck in kids into stories about genocide and shit? Horror movies?
don't undersell yourself, you're objectively correct, just look at "Elliot" Page who was in Hard Candy
even mild movies break them (to a smaller extent, but still), look at Macaulay Culkin or Shia LaBeouf
They can break adults, see Heath Ledger when shooting TDK, so what hope do others have?
