Part 5/7:
What They Could Have Done Better
Some critics lament missed opportunities for enhancing the film's appeal, particularly emphasizing a need for greater representation in the cast. The absence of real dwarf actors in the marketing and promotional strategy raised eyebrows, especially considering the potential for authenticity and relatability through their involvement. This could have fostered a more favorable reception and provided a meaningful dialogue surrounding the film's themes.
Additionally, the chemistry between Zegler and her co-stars has come under scrutiny. Some express hope that Gal Gadot, cast as the Evil Queen, can rise above the surrounding controversy, while others fear that the adverse connection with Zegler could detract from her performance.
