Linda Cardellini is THAT girl, what with all the versatile roles she has embodied over the years. From playing the beloved Velma in Scooby-Doo back in the '90s to an accidental murderer in the Netflix show Dead to Me, to Hawkeye's beautiful wife in The Avengers (Well, we added the beautiful part, she was just the wife).

Now, word is out that Linda Cardellini will be embodying yet another murderous role in A24’s ‘FRIDAY THE 13TH’ prequel series as Pamela Voorhees. Suffice it to say, fans are flummoxed.

Nonetheless, the comments on X are nothing if not humorous, and we've rounded up all of the best ones for you to have a good laugh. Enjoy!
