While Carey deleted the original tweet, she continued her defense to the many people who called her out.
She edited my tweet where I said she had a perfect bezel for a watch that I hadn’t associated with the Warriors. “Actors criticizing the character as personal attacks is amazing,” Carey said.
Curry responded to another fan adding, “I’m not allowed to say that I didn’t find the fictional character believable because of her soft voice, small stature, and curvy frame.” imaginary. Not real.’
She also said in another tweet, “Then Jason Momoa will find my criticism for his portrayal of Aquaman and put me in my shoes with a stern tweet about why he’s the perfect Arthur Curry.”
While Carey has continued to defend her since-deleted tweet, Lynskey has opened up in several tweets about why she was so excited to be working on The Last Of Us.

Not the coolest or toughest person. organizer. The person who knows where everything is. The person who does the planning. Someone who can multitask. She added, “The decisive one.”
Women, especially women in leadership positions, are constantly scrutinized. Her voice is very shrill. Her voice is very calm. She pays a lot of attention to her figure. She does not pay enough attention to her figure. She is very angry. “She’s not angry enough,” Lynskey continued.
I was excited at the idea of playing a woman who, at a desperate and tragic time, jumped into a role she never planned for and no one else planned for, and then she actually did it,” she added.
“I wanted her to look like she should have a notepad on her at all times.” I wanted her to be feminine and soft-spoken, and all the things we’re told are “weak.” Because honestly, that’s what Lenski said.
I understand that some people are angry because I am not the typical actor for this role. This is exciting to me. Other than the moments after event recall, when you feel like you’re already in someone else’s body, the most exciting part of my job is subverting expectations.
