The Internet can agree that Tom Holland made a great Spider-Man, is an excellent Rihanna impersonator and all around cute guy. But Tom Holland as "Uncharted" hero Nathan Drake, that's another story.
Twitter erupted on Monday when it was announced the young star was cast as the video game treasure hunter, in a film that would chronicle Drake's beginnings as an explorer. While many expected the film to center around a more grown up version of the character, like the source material, the new franchise is taking a very different approach.
Well, fans of the games aren't happy, as the fresh-faced Holland is a far cry from the buff and gruff 30-something they've come to know and love over the course of four "Uncharted" games.
See some of the most vocal opponents to his casting and/or the film's younger direction below:

@rayslavenburg
Is the uncharted movie actually going to fucking focus on Nathan as a kid? Are you fucking shitting me
@StutteringGiant
@IGN waht kind of madness is this, @NathanFillion is the right choice to play Drake in Uncharted. They even look that same.

TOM HOLLAND is Nathan Drake? Stop Hollywood, creativity is already DEAD. Just let this film die in pre-production purgatory. pic.twitter.com/2XjBbrsq1P

This movie may be a bad idea, but this casting is NOT. Y'all need to stop hating on my boy Tom. He will kill it. #Uncharted #NathanDrake pic.twitter.com/k5x8TQn8HW

@BookMoodReviews @zavvi Tom Holland as Nathan Drake 👎 way too young. Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft should be interesting. Wasn't convinced at 1st but on set pics...

@magencubed Wtf who sees Spider-Man and is like "yes, that gangly teenager should be Nathan Drake." How do you even make that leap.
@leysaulnier
Here's the secret guys, they have to do a young Nathan Drake because an adult Nathan Drake is called Indiana Jones
@WH_Woolhat
Would like a list of names of the people who asked for a prequel Uncharted movie with young Nathan Drake.
