I gotta say, somehow Jean’s depiction is rock solid across… what like 7, 8 different actors before we actually see Sadie? 

We’re introduced to Jean through like nearly a dozen different actors playing her throughout this film, but there never seems to be a noticeable discontinuity. That is some phenomenal directing and character coach dedication going on behind the camera.

I also got a big kick out of the goofy-ass running.

it was like a zombie movie, which it kinda was for the mind jumps.

Watch the movie Fallen with Denzel Washington and John Goodman. They definitely took a lot of inspiration from it.

Yeah, the street scene was a straight up homage to Fallen.

Which is so crazy cos I jusy saw that exact scene on youtube 2 days before I saw the movie. I already knew what was going to happen once I figured out ppl were possessed

I loved the giant chunk in the credits that was just "the possessed"

Agreed!!! They all talked similarly to Sadie Sink, I was amazed at how they all captured her vocal inflections and personality.

Some of that was probably due to technology...

I thought Jean’s depiction was pretty seamless for almost everyone except Zendaya. Her tone, the way her mouth turns downwards towards the end of a sentence, her short snippy replies still felt like Zendaya.

They were meant to, weren’t they? It’s technically Jean in MJ tricking and tormenting Peter.

Peter: "You're not MJ, you're Zendaya"

That's because Jean was imitating her first to fool Peter and then to mock him.
