Noah Schnapp, best known for his portrayal as Will Byers in the smash Netflix series Stranger Things, has faced widespread criticism on social media.
The 20-year-old actor is being compared to Gal Gadot, with some critics describing his previous performances as "flat" and "emotionless".
The criticism began when teaser teasers for Stranger Things season 5 were published, prompting memes and online arguments.
One popular Tweet sarcastically highlighted a cultural cliche about former adolescent stars suffering in their professions, while another tweet combined a hilarious caption with a political remark.
Despite the criticism, several fans have defended Schnapp, describing critical remarks as "propaganda I'm not falling for: Noah can't act."
Others have continued to compare him to Gal Gadot, with one post describing him as "the male version of Gal Gadot when it comes to acting."
As Stranger Things prepares to wrap off its fifth season, fans have high hopes for the returning cast members.
Netflix has announced that the final season would be published in three parts: Volume 1 on November 26, 2025, Volume 2 on Christmas Day 2025, and the series finale on New Year's Eve.
