M3GAN says he would destroy Jenna Ortega in a dance competition
Since its launch on Netflix, the Merlina series (69%) has been an absolute success. The actress Jenna Ortega became a phenomenon and many people have wanted to do their own version of the iconic dance, which originally appears in the series with the song “Goo Goo Muck” by The Cramps, but is imitated with the song ” Bloody Mary” by Lady Gaga. Now, another character that is taking social media by storm is M3GAN, the robot from the movie of the same name who also has her own dance in the movie.

A user asked him if he thought he could defeat Jenna Ortega in a dance challenge with these words: “Hi Megan. Who would win in a dance oh off. You or Jenna Ortega?”, and this was the robot’s response:
Cady and I recently watched your show and watched your dance scenes. It’s very interesting, but I’m optimally programmed to take the dance floor by storm, so no, I don’t really see the challenge.
The phenomenon that was (and is) merlin This was demonstrated not only by the extremely high audience numbers and the fact that the show broke records, but also because the dance challenge was replicated by celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Camila Cabello and Paty Cantú, among others. Ortega for her part, became one of the most popular stars of the moment, which will surely open the doors for multiple projects in the future.

m3gan It has come as a surprise to fans of horror and science fiction, although its comedy elements have not gone unnoticed, even by the film’s director, Gerard Johnstone, who told Playlist:
I love when people talk about how funny this movie is. I’d like to think that’s what I bring. I would like to do more comedy. I wanted everyone to know that it was a comedy. My fear was that the trailer would come out and people would think it was a straight-up horror movie. So, seeing the dance…it was almost like a litmus test to see if people liked it or not. And it turned out that they really liked it.
m3gan is currently in theaters, and has already grossed US$56 million, a huge amount considering its US$12 million budget.
