A scene from Disney’s live-action Snow White has sparked widespread criticism on social media, primarily due to Gal Gadot‘s performance rather than Rachel Zegler‘s portrayal. This particular scene, which has now gone viral, features Gadot as the Evil Queen, and her acting has drawn comparisons to the animated character Scooby Doo, leaving many viewers disappointed. Her portrayal has been met with disapproval, as critics argue that it fails to capture the essence of the iconic character.
In the seven-minute clip making rounds online, Gadot’s Evil Queen is seen gazing into a mirror before turning to ask, “Are you against me too?” After a pause, she tilts her neck and growls the question again, “Are you? Yes or no?” This performance has led to comments about her accent and overall delivery.
The backlash against the film has been intensifying since the casting announcements. Some have questioned Zegler’s fit for the titular role, and the divergence from the original storyline has not sat well with traditionalists. Additionally, rumors of a feud between Gadot and Zegler have only fueled the controversy, adding an extra layer to the saga.
Opinions online have been diverse. One user wrote, “How did the cameramen not burst into laughter every time they had to film her.” Another commented, “Man, children are not going because of Rachel, every other decent human is boycotting because of Gal Gadot; hope this helps.” The sentiment is clear, with critics emphasizing Gadot’s failure to deliver emotionally resonant dialogue.
The reaction has led to calls for boycotting the movie, with sentiments shared across different platforms. One user on X wrote, “No one wants to see Gal Gadot’s atrocious performance! My god, have you seen the trailers?!” Meanwhile, another user harshly declared, “We are not watching Snow White because of that genocidal terrorist Gal Gadot.” Such intensity reflects the boiling frustration of viewers.
The ongoing debate raises questions about the film’s future reception and Disney’s strategic decisions. This controversy, driven by casting choices and artistic direction, highlights the challenging landscape of reimagining beloved classics. With the potential for significant box office impacts, Disney faces crucial decisions on how to navigate public sentiment moving forward.
