Megyn Kelly criticizes Milly Alcock for Supergirl box-office numbers
Megyn Kelly blamed Milly Alcock for Supergirl’s underwhelming box office performance on her show. The 55-year-old commentator began: “Supergirl has opened at the movie theater well below expectations. Because its star, Milly Alcock, is as loathsome as the girl (Rachel Zegler) who played in Snow White. And seems to appreciate women in exactly the same way as that other girl did. And is receiving similar backlash.”
Continuing further, Kelly declared that the audience is over the “forced-upon-us girlboss era.” “It’s not authentic, it’s not organic, we’re no longer buying it,” she added. Then the conservative commentator launched an attack on Alcock by stating: “This woman looks like she’s 5 foot. Online, they say she’s 5’5” – challenge. If she’s 5’1”, it’s a miracle. She’s very weirdly small, and they want us to believe she’s this fierce super – no. She was in Game of Thrones. She was very weird looking.”
Kelly also shared that the young Australian actress “created problems for herself,” reading one of Alcock’s quotes from her interview. The 55-year-old shared clips from her interviews and mocked her alongside her co-host.
Furthermore, Kelly read out a report by The New York Times, which claimed that the audience has consistently rejected female superhero lead films. Adding her own two cents, the 55-year-old shared: “If you want to make young men love it, pick somebody who’s really hot and into men and is telegraphing to the audience like, ‘I like you. I don’t hate your guts.’”
The conservative commentator also compared Alcock to Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot, and how audiences preferred the latter. Kelly said: “You look at this strange little person with weird teeth. It’s like, and then she’s out there lecturing them on how she hates male-centered relationships and this character may be queer and a girl boss. What did they think was going to happen?”
