Traditionally, Snow White has been prettier to the audience than the Evil Queen, hasn't she?
In movies, I guess, although the Disney queen was sort of an icy-cold beauty. But it was a story long before it was a movie.
For me, they're both equally attractive in their way, so it doesn't bother me.
News flash: the opposite of good is John Carter.
That's too bad. I was hoping that it was good because Michael Chabon wrote the script.

I thought some of that was because of the age difference, too -- that the Queen was threatened by Snow White's youth.
And now I'm realizing I might be coming at it from a very Anne Sexton place.
I continue to accept that you exist.
That's gratifying. Now go put it in a little box with the other data points so it doesn't get lost.

All the n = 1s get to hang out together!
But it was a story long before it was a movie.
And when I read the story, I took the queen's word for it. I wasn't surprised or challenged by the movie's interpretation of Snow White as a more real, warm, true beauty. I definitely thought we were supposed to like her face (and heart, of course) better, even in the text.
I never said everyone. I said a significant statistical sampling. I truly believe Charlize is considered more conventionally or popularly beautiful than Kristen. Your disagreeing doesn't change my position as stated in the quote you cite.
Doesn't all the pre-suppose that the mirror is talking about physical beauty?
