Just noticed Gal Gadot plays the evil queen


And she envies the beauty of Snow White, who is going to be played by Rachel Zegler.

That part seems haven't changed.

Let's put the race issue of the princess aside, which I understand, and I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But just how many of you are buying Gal Gadot envies the beauty of Rachel Zegler?

reply

To me, Rachel is more attractive, but who cares? The mirror probably knows exactly what to say to make evil queens insecure.

When you say something like that I don't think you actually believe it.

I think this is the one movie they need a Disney princess, and I have been complaining too many Disney princesses in Marvel movies, like Xochitl Gomez, Iman Vellani, Kathryn Newton and Hailee Steinfeld, and anyone of them I think can make this seems more real.

I mean it is not like they don't have so many to choose from. I would be totally OK if Iman Vellani plays Snow White, even she is South Asian. She is just so impossibly cute.

::looks up every one of those names::

Frankly, I don't consider any of them, including Gal Gadot or Rachel Zegler, anything special. They are all in the 6-7 range.

reply

Then you pick one? I would be interested to know if you consider Hailee Steinfeld is in 6-7 range.

Which other young actress do you think is the fairest of all?

reply

If we're talking modern Hollywood, I have no idea. They all look like illuminati clones to me.

How about Sayumi Michishige? I could see her being Snow White, as long as you don't mind heavy autotune, or having to read subtitles!

She is cute enough, but I don't see she is prettier than Xochitl Gomez, Iman Vellani, Kathryn Newton or Hailee Steinfeld.

At least not in a major way.

reply

I dunno man, that Iman chick gets like a 5 from me on her best day, and that's in heavy makeup. She looks like a chubby little Mexican boy. Granted, I've been a judgmental prick since the '90s.

reply

They should have went with an older actress, would be much more realistic. Someone like Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn or so. Gadot would only work if they make her full Kardashian in this movie.

reply

Yeah, that is probably a good idea.

reply

RZ isn't bad looking but yeah, GG is clearly prettier. It's oddly the same issue they ran into with the 2012 one where we have to believe Kristen Stewart is more beautiful than Charlize Theron.

reply

Why is it so hard to believe the mirror is just trolling?

reply

Honestly, if the mirror was gaslighting her this whole time because it's secretly evil, that would be kind of interesting.

reply

😄😄😄 Agreed. Another weird change.

No doubt the Queen will envy something else since beauty is a “mysogynistic” concept. 🙄

reply

Do you genuinely not know the moral of the story of Snow White? The evil queen in the animated film was also attractive. It isn't about who's more physically attractive, it's that beauty is more than skin deep. Snow White is more beautiful because she's "snow white" aka innocent and pure of heart and the queen isn't because she's envious of her step-daughter, a literal child, to the point that her insecurities drive her to murder said child.

No, you are just inventing new narratives. What is laughable is that you are actually speaking on behalf of a magic mirror.

reply

THEY ARE CORRECT...YOUR DISAGREEMENT IS WEIRD AND SALTY.

reply

Another feminist here for politics almost exclusively.

reply

FALSE AND FALSE.

reply

Inventing new narratives? This has been the moral of Snow White since its inception as a story for kids. You can read the story, refer back to the 1937 film, or yk, just Google "what is the moral of Snow White" for confirmation. I'm not speaking on behalf of the mirror, just the overall story - a big part of the story is that the mirror lies, coz its a metaphor for the queen's perception and how it changes over time.

But given your response, I'm gonna take that as a no, you genuinely don't know the moral of the story of Snow White. Roundabout way to answer, but an answer nonetheless.

reply

just Google "what is the moral of Snow White"

And the result is: The moral of Snow White's story is “Vanity will not take you far, but kindness will”.

You really should take your own advice.

reply

Do you think that's different from what I wrote? Or do you not understand what that line means?

reply

Now you are just being really brazen.

reply

Your inference skills need some work. The sentence that follows that line:

In this short story, the queen was completely indulged in vanity, which messed with her mind. But kind-hearted Snow White found friends and met a prince that loved her and stood by her.
Similar to what I wrote, no?

But to the main point of this post, do you believe the queen in the story was ugly and should therefore be played by an ugly actress?

reply

No, vanity is about the looks, the queen envied Snow White's look, that is the vanity.

Snow White's kindness is how she won, that is not how she was more beautiful.

You are just trying to confuse the 2.

reply

I'm not disputing that Snow White was outwardly beautiful, I'm stating that the Queen was also beautiful, since she was considered the fairest in all the land before Snow White came into the picture. So being played by a beautiful actress makes perfect sense. I'm also saying that what made Snow White more beautiful than the Queen wasn't her looks and that's the whole point of the story. Who was "factually" more beautiful is entirely irrelevant.

reply

You're spot on, but the detractors will pretend otherwise.

reply

Yeah, the voice of a Disney shill, that is convincing.

reply

Are you fellas doing okay? Not everything is a conspiracy, it's just a movie based on a kids book, it's really not that deep.

reply

Elon Musk once said that about 20% of twitter accounts are bot/shill accounts. And twitter did not dispute that, only saying the figure is more like 5% ~ 10%. I think we have similar amount of bot/shill accounts here.

With hundreds of millions of promotional budget for just a single movie, you think they will leave this place alone? You have to be really naive to think that is a conspiracy theory, or am I talking to one of them?

There are a few accounts I am dead certain are Disney shills, @FilmBuff is definitely one. I have seen his comments since the inception of this site, almost all related to Disney content and almost all raving reviews.

reply

I can't help but laugh every time you state with such fervent certainty your mistaken belief that I work for Disney. It's highly unlikely to me that Disney would pay *anyone* to post on this minor web site, least of all me, but your convinced and I guess I'll hear about it every few days.

reply

If you did work for Disney, could you get me some cheap tickets please? 😉

reply

Rumor has it part of my job is to buy tickets then not use them. I reckon I could give you some of them. What do you want to see?

reply

I don't really know what his deal is. He's convinced I work for Disney, and tends to follow me around telling me he thinks it, though I'm not sure how he came to that conclusion. Seeing here that he's incapable of grasping the basic message of a children's story reinforces my sense that he's more than a little delusional, but it's the internet, so...

reply

He's convinced I work for Disney, and tends to follow me around telling me he thinks it.

Who is following who around?

Every time I say something remotely negative about Disney you are here to defend it.

You are like a stalker.

reply

I responded to Wint3rFir3, letting him know that someone was bound to come along and tell him he was wrong, and sure enough you popped up and did just that, then told me that my opinion is of no merit because you erroneously believe I'm being paid by Disney. Just like you did on some other thread the other day.

reply

I responded to Wint3rFir3

Hoping I don't get the notification, clearly.

I think most people frequent here pretty much know you are a shill, you are probably the only one who thinks your cover is still in tact.

Anyway, just someone who is tired of your crap.

reply

YOU ARE WAY TOO TENSE.🫤

reply

From someone using all caps, that is quite rich.

reply

WHAT DO BIG AWESOME LETTERS HAVE TO DO WITH TENSION?

reply

If only he was past tense.

reply

💯

reply

I'd wager just about anything that you are the only one under the misconception that I'm paid by Disney, or any studio. Unless you have multiple accounts here, in which case all of them believe it, too. Most people are more observant than you.

reply

It's not without precedent.

The Evil Queen in Once Upon A Time was vastly more attractive than the actress who played Snow White.

reply

If you are talking about the 2011 TV series, that is more like the reincarnation or something. I haven't finished that show, but that is more of "based on" the original story, not even sure it was about snow white.

reply

Yeah, that's the show.

Sure, it's a re-imagining of sorts but I always thought the same thing re Snow White and the Queen in that show.

In fact, I'm sure as the seasons went on Snow White appeared quite portly at some point (think she was pregnant in real life?) but it did seem a bit of a stretch to think anyone would be consumed by jealousy of her beauty!
