“may be susceptible to the lore of this young-female-adult-propelled franchise.”
Whaaaaat?
To be fair I had much the same complaint about Jennifer - not that she is fat, or big, god no, but that she looks too healthy for the part. There's no disguising the fact that her skin glows with health and she looks happy and well-fed, when the rest of the town, her mother and sister, look to be on the verge of starvation (also tied in with the fact that always looking for the next meal is a major thing about her character, which the movie happily ignored). I complain about this because it's make-up peoples' fault, not hers. She looks wonderful.
