A phenomenally bad actress...

Her performance in The Rings of Power needs to be shown in theatre schools all over the worlds as a textbook example of how not to act.

She wasn't so bad in St. Maud. There are so many terrible performances in Rings of Power that there has to be a wider problem, you have to question the director. Rings of Power is a career killer.

It's a possibility but some things are unforgivable.
Like her pulling on a rope for 5 minutes when she is on that raft - the rope that clearly doesn't do anything. This kind of fidgeting is not something a professional actor does.

You're picking on goofs no one gives a crap.

Goofs... It's not a school play. It's a billion dollar project.
It should have been amazing.

She's not a bad actress. She was miscast
Big difference.

This is my take as well, she is just a poor choice to play Galadriel.

I didn't like Saint Maud at all but Morfydd was very good in it. She's a capable actress.

This role of Galadriel will haunt her career forever

All she seems to know how to do is be a bitch who does terrible combat choreography.

[–] papamihel (1616) 2 years ago

Well, that's actually not on her.
Unless she specifically said that she's not going to train. Someone (producer or director) made a call and decided to rely on camera work instead of investing a few hundred hours into teaching actors how to handle weapons realistically.

Probably spent all their money on renting out warehouses and had a shoestring budget for everything else, including training the actors.
