Gal Gadot’s performance in Snow White receives flak; netizens compare it to Scooby-Doo

A scene from Disney’s upcoming live-action Snow White has gone viral for unexpected reasons, drawing strong reactions from social media users. However, the criticism is not aimed at lead actress Rachel Zegler but at Gal Gadot’s portrayal of the Evil Queen.
Many online users have expressed their disappointment in her performance, with some even comparing it to the exaggerated acting style seen in the Scooby-Doo franchise.
A seven-minute clip from the film has been widely shared on various platforms, featuring a moment where Gadot’s character looks into a mirror before turning around and asking, “Are you against me too?” After pausing briefly, she tilts her head and repeats the question, this time with a growl: “Are you? Yes or no?” This particular delivery has sparked debate, with viewers criticizing both her performance and her accent, claiming that she failed to bring the necessary depth to the iconic villain.
Some critics believe that Gadot’s acting felt overly dramatic and unnatural, which led to comparisons with animated characters. The reaction has been so intense that some fans have even called for a boycott of the movie.
Snow White Faces Backlash for Various Reasons
Since the film’s casting announcement, Snow White has been surrounded by controversy. While there has been ongoing debate about Rachel Zegler’s suitability for the titular role, this latest wave of criticism has shifted focus to Gadot’s performance. Many viewers argue that the backlash against the film is not just about Zegler’s past comments but also about the overall execution of the project.
Additionally, Disney’s decision to make changes to the original story has frustrated traditional fans of the classic fairy tale. Some have expressed disappointment that the movie strays too far from the beloved animated version, making it difficult for them to connect with the new adaptation. Reports of behind-the-scenes tensions between Gadot and Zegler have only added fuel to the fire, though neither actress has publicly addressed these rumors.
According to a report by Sportskeeda, many fans believe the criticism stems largely from Gadot’s performance rather than any controversy related to Zegler. The discussion surrounding the film continues to grow, with some defending the actresses while others remain skeptical about the final product.
