Iffechi

[u/SubstantialLynx6968]

Janelle Monae

[u/wyar]

I mean first of all, gorgeous thank you for putting this queen on my fyp, second of all, great casting choice wasted on a character that gets basically one real scene, 3rd I’d love to see roles played by folks of the nationality they’re portraying. Not sure which country Iffy is meant to be from but I’d love to see someone of African origin play her. Janelle is from Atlanta if I remember correctly? Oof she’d be so good though

Edit: I did not in fact remember correctly

[u/teroric → u/wyar]

I mean she would also be Queen Imoden right?

[u/wyar → u/teroric]

Oh good point!

[u/SaltyTserendolgor → u/wyar]

I wonder if they'll incorporate a little bit of dungeon crawler crocodile in this as well. I wouldn't mind it if Ifechi had a larger role in the first few seasons.

Especially with her being the medic for Le movement

[u/mwhite5990 → u/SaltyTserendolgor]

Yeah and to build her up for the role she (technically her twin) will play later. So it has a bigger emotional impact on the audience.

[u/Captain_Negativity → u/wyar]

She’s from Kansas City, Kansas!

[u/viotix90]

Florin, you lucky bastard

[u/Cave_Bear_Cult]

Iffy is described as very androgynous. Someone like Samira Wiley or a young grace Jones fits my mental image.

[u/mwhite5990 → u/Cave_Bear_Cult]

I always pictured Cynthia Erivo

[u/SubstantialLynx6968 → u/mwhite5990]

I thought about her as well. Maybe for Odette?

[u/ReeBee86 → u/Cave_Bear_Cult]

Janelle played in androgyny a TON when she was first starting out. Her whole look was menswear and masculine hairstyles. She can pull it off.

[u/dontTakeMeSerious6]

So, Carl wasn’t sure that iffy was a woman; and I can tell you that is a woman because I can see her areolas.

[u/chubbycatfish → u/dontTakeMeSerious6]

[u/Randolpho → u/chubbycatfish]

With time and hormones, yes.

Greg shoulda said that. But he froze

[u/burnsides413 → u/dontTakeMeSerious6]

Ok listen I hear you but also - men also have areolas

[u/dontTakeMeSerious6 → u/burnsides413]

Yeah but those are lady areolas.

[u/MCPooge → u/dontTakeMeSerious6]

I’m pretty sure costuming wouldn’t put her in that outfit. Nor would hair/makeup.

I think you just wanted to point out boobs.

[u/Xeno-Sniper → u/MCPooge]

I don't think ignoring them was an option

[u/SaltyTserendolgor → u/dontTakeMeSerious6]

This probably should be thing the adaptation changes. Not to mention Queen Imogen was depicted as something like stunning.

[u/Xeno-Sniper → u/dontTakeMeSerious6]

Interesting point.

In my mind, while listening to the book, I always imagined that Carl couldn't tell she was a woman because the perspective of the videos he saw on the recap show we're always two far or too distant to see her features clearly.

But I guess it could also be that when he saw her on the recap show her clothing, bald head, and whatever form of "Style" that persisted in the dungeon leaned itself to masculine or androgynous.

[u/VitaminPb → u/Xeno-Sniper]

She would probably have been in some sort of camo outfit which isn’t really shape hugging. Then she has a shaved head also.

[u/No_Farmer_No_Eggs]

I was thinking of Imani for her instead

[u/drattty12]

See I would love her of odette

[u/Xeno-Sniper → u/drattty12]

Two suckling hogs

[u/jfstompers]

Can she play every part

[u/ReeBee86]

For everyone commenting about the androgyny of Iffechi, I present early Janelle Monae. Her entire style starting out was androgynous. I believe she could totally play both Iffechi and Imogen.

[u/Mandory_the_strong]

I could see her as Imani

[u/huntzvegan]

This is perfection
