To be honest, it’s not even her performance; it’s the fact that “villains chewing the scenery” has become a trope in itself the last few years. Doctor Who was the worst for that, and poisoned me against it everywhere in SF
She was one of only three seasons I continued to watch the garbage pile that was Discovery. But this was easily the worst I’ve gotten from her character. Not because of her acting. Her character just seemed watered down in this movie.
I’ll say it.
In spite of everything we saw in Discovery, Michelle Yeoh was always a delight, no matter which character she played
If we got more of her, regardless of the rest, I’ll enjoy it
Michelle Yeoh is clearly not the problem.
If anything, Section 31 suffered from not enough Michelle Yeoh.
Add the Amanda Plummer as Vadic. Those are some phenomenal performances.
Wait is Vadic in this? I would watch it just for her.
I don’t think so… just thinking of some of the best performances of complex villains lately.
I wasn’t a fan; she kept chewing the scenery so much it was almost like the plot had to pause every time she started another soliloquy
I always took the unhinged erratic behavior as the point (Ala Ledgers Joker) but I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on it.
