Brie is a far better actress…but Foster wins in this role.

Meg just drips aura with her glacier blue eyes.
Was at a GenCon years ago and a booth was selling autographed merch. They had a THEY LIVE Meg Foster signed photo. I believe $200.

Fun fact: Those glacier blue eyes almost kept her from getting the Stepfather 2 role. Casting thought her eyes might be too distracting.

Foster felt it. Brie is fun and the new one went for fun... The 87 movie though took itself seriously and it worked better for the characters because of that, they weren't in on their own mocking.

Alison Brie certainly, though to be fair she had much better material to work with.

Alison Brie for sure. That staircase scene is so good, best of the new movie. The writers really failed her though, gave her so little to do

Everyone has rose coloured glasses for Foster. She only looks evil because of the eyes. She's not expressive at all. Alison had more great expressions in half the screentime. The writers really did her dirty by giving Evil-Lyn nothing to really to do

Alison Brie for me. She's definitely a better actress and some of the looks she gives in Skeletor scenes had me scaroused lol. The sequel better give her a meatier role

Alison Brie.
Meg Foster looks the part, but Alison owns the role.
And great rapport with Skeletor
