Noah Schnapp, known for his role as Will Byers in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, has become the target of intense criticism on social media.
The 20-year-old actor is facing comparisons to Gal Gadot, with some critics labeling his recent performances as "flat" and "emotionless".
The backlash began after teaser clips from Stranger Things season 5 were released, sparking memes and online debates.
One viral post jokingly referenced a cultural trope of former teen stars struggling with their careers, while another tweet paired a humorous caption with a political jab.
Despite the criticism, some fans have come to Schnapp's defense, dismissing the negative comments with phrases like "propaganda I’m not falling for: Noah can’t act."
However, others have continued to compare him to Gal Gadot, with one post calling him "the male version of Gal Gadot when it comes to acting."
As Stranger Things prepares to conclude with its fifth season, expectations are high for the returning cast members.
Netflix has confirmed that the final season will be released in three parts: Volume 1 on November 26, 2025, Volume 2 on Christmas Day 2025, and the series finale on New Year’s Eve.
