Debicki is amazing. Her voice and mannerisms are so spot on even people close to Diana said it was like being in a room with her. The only off thing is that Debicki is 6’3” where as Diana was only 5’10” so whenever she stands up in the show she towers over everyone which is certainly noticeable.

I really love that she’s so tall. It was weird to see Diana shorter than Charles last season. And they tried to hide that Diana was taller than Charles in real life. It happens all the time with tall women.

It’s a little distracting. I mean 6’3”? Obviously casting a tall woman was the way to go but Idk.

It's not a very long list that can pull off that role, Debicki is an incredible resemblance to Diana, and what else are they gonna do, break her legs or do LOTR foreshortening? So she's tall. It's more realistic than short Diana, and much more realistic than an attractive Charles.

I think, before taking hyperbolic measures, they could’ve casted someone less tall. It’s okay if it didn’t distract you. I’m glad. I’m just stating my opinion, which, based on the downvote, is something to be discouraged

The downvote, I think, purely comes from the fact that you can't disassociate from the fact that the acting/casting is brilliant and the height of the actor. I totally understand that it could be distracting, just don't let it change your opinion of the casting

I noticed the towering over people and wondered if real Diana really was that tall. Bit of a shame they couldn’t match that. But honestly after watching some real Diana stuff since seeing the show she really got the eye and face movement down pat, and her voice was spot on.

I had to laugh at the one scene in a car, obviously hunched over even while seated. She is TALL

I knew she looked way too tall but I didn’t realize Debicki is SIX THREE

She's very good, but we keep getting distracted by how much she's doing that "chin tucked in, big eyes" thing. It feels super forced compared to how/when the previous actress did it.

Her performance is so immersive it feels like I am watching the real-life Diana each episode and I totally forget its an actress in a TV show lol

I still love the fact that James Gunn cast her in GotG Vol. 2, and put her in either tall heels or lifts to make her look even taller.
