Again as others pointed out, its not about being skinny. Its about attitude and looking battle ready. Darth showed you the difference between Clarke and those other actresses and you threw the "they're skinny" card? Wow dude just wow. Also here's another female Character I though was badass without all the superficial stuff you're talking about.
And Ripley from Alien and Aliens as well. Forgot about her.Clarke looks a high school girl. I don't buy her being this badass at all. And since when is an actress not considered a badass because they were skinny?You're really reaching dude.
Noomi Rapace wins the the jacked little lady awards.
Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor was not the same Sarah Connor from T2 in The Terminator. She was a different person after the event of the first Terminator. Emilia Clarke totally has similar look as Hamilton's in the first Terminator film, with the exception of latter's more angular jaw and 80s hairstyle.
I'm guessing that Clarke's 's Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genisys will heavily use that Sarah Connor from the first Terminator.
That she will become a hardcore mom? The psychology of a child who grew up to become adult in that scenario will be different from that of an adult who experienced similar scenario.
Sometimes it is the atmosphere of the production. If the director and production team are pursuing a film with a particular vision, then the rest of the team, including the actors, try to realize that vision. However, if an authentic, believable tone is not one of the principle components of that vision, then the consequence is something like Terminator: Genisys. Whereas Cameron's Terminator films aimed for believable characters and relationships, this looks like those principle traits were set aside for some other rubbish. I think that is why Emilia, and frankly everyone else in this picture (from what we have seen), did not delve deep into their roles.Did Emilia Clarke do any kind of prep work for this role at all? Any weapons training? Any fight training? Any weight training? Anything at all?
She's playing a woman who was trained by a Terminator to fight Terminators and prepare for the end of the world. Nothing I've seen of her in this movie makes me believe she has done any of that. She is even blinking while firing a weapon in some clip from the film (I didn't see it but damn, if that is true that is... not good).
Linda Hamilton took playing Sarah Conner seriously and it showed. It takes hard work to play the character she played in T2. It takes commitment and dedication, from the performer and from the director and people producing the movie to make sure that character is believable.
Clarke is clearly no Linda Hamilton.
Why didn't she take this role seriously? There are plenty of actresses in Hollywood who would've KILLED for this part and she's the one who got the opportunity. It looks like she squandered it. It's sad.
