I've just learned that Robert Sheehan has been cast as Simon in City of Bones. WTF? As thrilled as I will be to see him in something again (though he should never have left Misfits, imo), he doesn't fit Simon at all!!!!!!!! If anything, he's MAGNUS. I've said from the start that he'd be my choice for Magnus, other than the fact of him not being Asian. But SIMON? What? -.-
But this is just all too fitting for a cast that has Jamie Campbell-Bower as Jace. In the books, I prefer Jace to Simon by A LOT a lot. Now it seems inevitable that I'm going to like Simon more than Jace, and it'll ruin the books/movies for me, because Clary will look like an idiot for choosing JCB over Robert. UGH.
Maybe I just won't watch the movie so that I can continue to enjoy the books. I don't WANT to call JCB to mind when I'm picturing Jace! I JUST DON'T.
