It's only adults who have problems with it. I don't see what the problem is. Kids don't care and the movie is for kids. 🤷

Exactly. Did anyone see The Sea Beast? It's animated, but has two kick ass black females.

For me it’s that the original animation was already much different from the original tale and no one cared but now as soon as it’s not a white chick they mad mad. It literally doesn’t matter.

For me what’s most problematic is that we’ve turned it into a romantic tale when it’s originally a cautionary tale about not changing yourself for love and that self sacrifice only hurts yourself. In the original she dies for love and doesn’t end up with the Prince at all. Now it’s telling young girls if they just change these things and try to fit what matches him they will win him over. It’s pretty gross.

I can’t imagine it being the case at all that they thought about it to this level. Do you really think the casting people are educated in this way and then further, making casting decisions based on creating outrage?

This whole concept is pisses me off because when blacks talking about equality and their culture and contriution to the world - I said more than once - I understand you are too late to give world Michelangelo and Lord Byron but why TF cant you write your own CHILDREN BOOK instead of turning Snow WHITE into a...joke?

I am usually getting blocked or ignored and NEVER argued back or explained...

Oh god, why did you have to remind me of those.

I only watched those a couple of months ago because they were on Netflix and I had never seen them.

The first one still decent though.

Why everything black is racist? People just love to be punk ass bitches and bitch about everything regarding black. Black panther gets made, y’all bitch about that, now the little mermaid gets rebooted and here comes the bitches bitching again. You do know you don’t have to go see the movie right? Therefore you can SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR PUNK ASS BITCHING BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT.

None of us bitched when Peter Pan called the Native Americans red people when we all know turns red.

I don't care about skin color stuff.

What has and always will bother me is when they change the character's personality or over all feel.

Case and point, Harry Potter. In the books shit just happens to him and he figures it out and deals with it. Adventure mystery feel..

The movies kids action we're is just dives head first into trouble.

The new Dune is also very different. From the book, original movie, and.... the scifi series did a amazing job.

The new Dune felt like a revolution filled with teenager angst. Hunger games....

Harry Potter inspired me ... to use a magic wand 🙀

I don’t think most adaptations have done justice to the original work of the Authors. People go gaga over how amazing Godfather movie was . I read the book many years before I saw the movie. Movie was nothing compared to the book.

Disney princess movies are toxic anyway. They just want to make bank, otherwise we'd see better narratives.

Exactly I'm missing quality

So many movies are just diarrhea

I don't get the fuss from the bigots though.

The story is written by a gay man and unrequited love.

Pretty sure he wrote about that in a different story.

The movie industry - is at its worst cause of enforced political propaganda. I truly miss the old days - when they were mainly focused on creating quality content, not.... race, gender or whatever political agenda is trending right now.

To make things worst - they're also taking a huge dump on popular movies of the old days - the ones that made history - by remaking them following the current political trends. For past years - almost every movie released in Hollywood & Co. seems to have this political agendas as a mandatory requirement:

- To please feminism - strong (more like - heavily masculine), independent women are a prime requirement. Equal to men "or stronger" - even in the raw power department, cause hey... they're suppose to influence young girls.

- To please race fanatics - multiple races are also a prime requirement - people of all color other than white (black in particular).

- to please the LGBTQ community - some shades of gay are also mandatory, followed by the recent Trans political trend & whatever may follow.

Not filling any of above requirements - each of its representatives might hunt you down trying to cancel your show - for being misogynist, racist or x'phobic. Or at least - that's the main fear factor revolving around this unspoken requirements.

That being said... i find harder and harder to enjoy watching a movie this days. Just take the latest Lord of The Rings fiasco...

The movie industry isn't suffering because of enforced "political propaganda".

The movie industry is lacking in creativity. The genuine intention for inclusivity should follow a unique and curated storyline.

Maybe poor quality content stems from inflexibility/rigidity 🤷🏾‍♀️

Is it racist or am I overreacting?

I don't care that a young black woman was cast as a Disney princess who had previously been drawn as white. She (the actress) is lovely & can sing. And I personally thinks she deserves better than Ariel & this story.

I don't care that they made a black Disney princess; I do care that they made (in my opinion) the absolute *worst* Disney princess black. I've never liked 1989 version of The Little Mermaid, but that's my own shit.

HOWEVER - on to the live action remake:

-I'm assuming it's still taking place in the Caribbean. Which is troubling to me, considering the storyline & their casting choices.

-King Daddy Triton is being protrayed by Javier Bardem. Who is, admittedly, a talented actor. However, he is also Spanish. Since the Spanish were not indigenous to that area, that would make him descended from the Conquistadors.. who were notorious for raping and enslaving the local populace, among other things.

-King Daddy Triton has 7 daughters - all with different hair & eye colors, so one can only assume they were birthed (at least in part) by different women. Women who are never seen, referenced, or alluded to in the original. Sure, the Disney wiki page has some BS about "Queen Athena", but again, she's never seen or heard from.

-Prince Eric is being played by a white British guy. I'll give ya three guesses as to why the British monarchy (or really any monarchy) was in that area after the post-Columbian exploration.. I'll give ya three guesses but I think you'll only need one. Hint: it's terrible.

-The "happy ending" of the movie is Ariel giving up her entire culture & identity in order to go with the white colonizers.

Like seriously. WTF. I didn't like this storyline before but I like it even less now.

Am I the only person bothered by all this? If so, I'll STFU. But it's been on my mind ever since the trailer was released. Everyone was pissed about the color of the mermaid (which is bullshit), but no one is concerned about the context of the story??

Don't remake it at all.

For real? Maybe don't look for subcontext everywhere, sometimes it's just not that deep. It's a basic kids flick.

-no clue who he is, but maybe he got the part because he's a talented actor and his ancestry isn't really a factor? Consistently looking at and reacting negatively based on race and ethnicity is kinda racist.

-its.a.kids.movie. unless they're taught to, kids aren't worried about genetics. Go shop for dolls. They are different colors with different color hair to be inclusive. They probably made all the sisters look different so kids could identify better-"hey that one has the same hair as me".

-see the first response. He's playing a part, stop worrying about the actors dna, it's not the characters DNA. you're looking for a problem where one doesn't exist. Would it be better if it was a black British guy? For real, get over it.

-the happy ending is Ariel's family still loves her and accepts her choice to follow a dream and leave home to pursue it. You're focusing on the actors. What happened is she left home and her culture to be with one her family didn't like, but they still accepted her choice. In simple context, she left her own race to be with a different race.

Based on this pretty much the only way to remake this would be as a new cartoon, but make mermaids animals so no one can get caught up in race or ethnicity. Which is patently sad.

I agree that they probably didn't think about it to this level.. but maybe they should have? Idk. I read more than I watch TV or movies. Specifically, I read romance novels. And all of the current authors employ beta readers & sensitivity readers, along with TW (trigger warnings) that are displayed on the front page.

Beta & sensitivity readers are there specifically to ensure that the book doesn't marginalize any group of people that the author may not have much experience with.

A mild example would be if the author is a native English speaker but writing about a person that is Italian. They get an Italian to proofread/beta read to ensure the Italian language is written & used correctly.

A more extreme example would be a straight author writing about an LGBTQ+ character. They would employ beta/sensitivity readers to ensure that the portrayal of the character in the book wouldn't be a caricature or stereotype, etc.

I wonder if Disney did any of that with this movie? Or any of their movies?

That’s really interesting and I didn’t realize it was done. So it’s these peoples jobs essentially to do the research, know the history, and present any possible outcomes of ways people might perceive it/be offended and address accordingly. I would think a huge entity like Disney would do this, or would want to do this.

Yeah. Romance is the only genre where I've seen this done. I think it's because most of the [romance] books involve sex & sexual preferences, which is already a vulnerable topic for a lot of people.

Regardless, I hope it catches on in more industries/areas.

How do you know it’s being done? Did you read an article about it or are they credited in the book or something?

That's just it... it's impossible to be creative - if/when creativity is heavily castrated by "woke culture". And this "forced" exclusivity trend is obviously part of the issue. On top of that - the fear of developing new characters/identities - is yet another crippling factor. As it goes with all the remakes of popular shows from the past where the protagonist was a male - where they simply switched gender and now we have Female Dr. Who, Supergirl, Batgirl, She-hulk...

...or the most recent show: Rings of Power:

...where, as can be seen - flexibility (going overboard in all directions) - is actually among the main issues with the show. J. R. R. Tolkien was deemed a great writer - not just cause of his level of creativity but also being highly calculated - while detailing the characters and the world around them. Quite the opposite of the current writers behind The Rings of Power, but also the directors & they choice of actors (where the majority seem mediocre at best). And this TV series is "top tiers in terms of budget (at $ 58 million per episode - a total budget of $ 465 million - Amazon Prime’s The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power has become the most expensive television series ever made)" - so there's no room for excuses. They clearly afforded the top of both fields (be it writers, actors or producers).

Even the backlash in question has the same issue at its roots. Personally, i don't/didn't even intend to watch Ariel - no matter how they made/remade it. The original was enough for me. Yet, the issue is quite obvious none the less. Again, fuck forced inclusion - that's BS. You'd ratter see a remake of Ariel where she's now black just for the sake of inclusion - or a new show, a new story of a Black mermaid - which has her own identity.

Here's an example of a show/story done right - where the woke elements fade away even if you point them out - and that's because all the characters have their well defined identity (neither is stolen or enforced just for sake of weakness). A show where inclusiveness is not an issue - simply because it's based on a game with 10 years of continues development - where chars were continuously crated/added - and they filled all the gender & race gaps (if you will). A show which does have strong & independent female characters - but again, this characters already had that identity within the game itself - so it's not conjured of forced simply to fit a feminist propaganda. As in... "Arcane".

But that's just a show which took 6 years in its making, so it wasn't rushed nor were the writers crippled by some woke agenda or remaking & milking the success of some past past show (like the ones mentioned above).

So you mean to say, the movie industry will suffer because they'll have less audience. You think, if they remake movies without the "woke-ism" it'll cripple the movie industry?

The movie industry already suffers cause of poor quality content - while being used as a propaganda tool (each spreading their own flavor of "woke-ism" ). Beyond poor writing, rushed productions & uninspired choice in actors - the investors are another crippling factors - since most avoid taking risks with new content (not generally speaking - at least, cause there's still exceptions here & there). So no, profits are not really that big o an issue (low audience) - since they mainly invest in popular characters/movies from the old days - "same as a brand" - a product that's already recognized by the majority - so enough people will still consume it - even if it's of the shittiest quality (for whatever reason). Marvel or DC Characters, Star Wars, Star Trek , Lord of the Rings & so on and so forth... they're all treated like "brands" this days. Milked for profit based on past popularity or spreading some political agenda.

Why do you think Squid Game - had such a huge success worldwide? Because the story, its production & choice of actors - came first, not woke-ism. They had strong female characters even there - but they weren't written and cast - the woke feminist way (where they put down the male characters - to make the female characters stronger & wiser - just for the sake of woke-ism). Instead, their strength was well defined by their past - especially their feminine strength, but more importantly - they imbued them with relatable traits, thinking & acting patterns (close to a real human being - quite far from "the alien like" personalities of some Hollywood characters). Also, forced inclusiveness was not present there either. Yet, not necessarily a risk in terms of investment - despite being an original take (since that type of intrigues - with captured individuals taking part in some taboo game - were already popular in Korea).

Who wrote squid games?

Here's an example of a show/story done right - where the woke elements fade away even if you point them out - and that's because all the characters have their well defined identity (neither is stolen or enforced just for sake of weakness). A show where inclusiveness is not an issue - simply because it's based on a game with 10 years of continues development - where chars were continuously crated/added - and they filled all the gender & race gaps (if you will). A show which does have strong & independent female characters - but again, this characters already had that identity within the game itself - so it's not conjured of forced simply to fit a feminist propaganda. As in... "Arcane".

But that's just a show which took 6 years in its making, so it wasn't rushed nor were the writers crippled by some woke agenda or remaking & milking the success of some past past show (like the ones mentioned above).

So you mean to say, the movie industry will suffer because they'll have less audience. You think, if they remake movies without the "woke-ism" it'll cripple the movie industry?

The movie industry already suffers cause of poor quality content - while being used as a propaganda tool (each spreading their own flavor of "woke-ism" ). Beyond poor writing, rushed productions & uninspired choice in actors - the investors are another crippling factors - since most avoid taking risks with new content (not generally speaking - at least, cause there's still exceptions here & there). So no, profits are not really that big o an issue (low audience) - since they mainly invest in popular characters/movies from the old days - "same as a brand" - a product that's already recognized by the majority - so enough people will still consume it - even if it's of the shittiest quality (for whatever reason). Marvel or DC Characters, Star Wars, Star Trek , Lord of the Rings & so on and so forth... they're all treated like "brands" this days. Milked for profit based on past popularity or spreading some political agenda.

Why do you think Squid Game - had such a huge success worldwide? Because the story, its production & choice of actors - came first, not woke-ism. They had strong female characters even there - but they weren't written and cast - the woke feminist way (where they put down the male characters - to make the female characters stronger & wiser - just for the sake of woke-ism). Instead, their strength was well defined by their past - especially their feminine strength, but more importantly - they imbued them with relatable traits, thinking & acting patterns (close to a real human being - quite far from "the alien like" personalities of some Hollywood characters). Also, forced inclusiveness was not present there either. Yet, not necessarily a risk in terms of investment - despite being an original take (since that type of intrigues - with captured individuals taking part in some taboo game - were already popular in Korea).

So no, profits are not really that big o an issue (low audience) - since they mainly invest in popular characters/movies from the old days - "same as a brand" - a product that's already recognized by the majority - so enough people will still consume it - even if it's of the shittiest quality (for whatever reason).

-The box office says that's untrue 🤷🏾‍♀️

Lol if you have a wider and more diverse audience, your best best bet to make profit is to make the movies releatable for the audience. This is why they don't change storylines ie Disney princess for remakes, it's not for the kids but the older generation. Otherwise, we'd see more of the cartoon version 🤷🏾‍♀️

The movie industry - is at its worst cause of enforced political propaganda. I truly miss the old days - when they were mainly focused on creating quality content, not.... race, gender or whatever political agenda is trending right now.

To make things worst - they're also taking a huge dump on popular movies of the old days - the ones that made history - by remaking them following the current political trends. For past years - almost every movie released in Hollywood & Co. seems to have this political agendas as a mandatory requirement:

- To please feminism - strong (more like - heavily masculine), independent women are a prime requirement. Equal to men "or stronger" - even in the raw power department, cause hey... they're suppose to influence young girls.

- To please race fanatics - multiple races are also a prime requirement - people of all color other than white (black in particular).

- to please the LGBTQ community - some shades of gay are also mandatory, followed by the recent Trans political trend & whatever may follow.

Not filling any of above requirements - each of its representatives might hunt you down trying to cancel your show - for being misogynist, racist or x'phobic. Or at least - that's the main fear factor revolving around this unspoken requirements.

That being said... i find harder and harder to enjoy watching a movie this days. Just take the latest Lord of The Rings fiasco...

The movie industry isn't suffering because of enforced "political propaganda".

The movie industry is lacking in creativity. The genuine intention for inclusivity should follow a unique and curated storyline.

Maybe poor quality content stems from inflexibility/rigidity 🤷🏾‍♀️

That's just it... it's impossible to be creative - if/when creativity is heavily castrated by "woke culture". And this "forced" exclusivity trend is obviously part of the issue. On top of that - the fear of developing new characters/identities - is yet another crippling factor. As it goes with all the remakes of popular shows from the past where the protagonist was a male - where they simply switched gender and now we have Female Dr. Who, Supergirl, Batgirl, She-hulk...

...or the most recent show: Rings of Power:

...where, as can be seen - flexibility (going overboard in all directions) - is actually among the main issues with the show. J. R. R. Tolkien was deemed a great writer - not just cause of his level of creativity but also being highly calculated - while detailing the characters and the world around them. Quite the opposite of the current writers behind The Rings of Power, but also the directors & they choice of actors (where the majority seem mediocre at best). And this TV series is "top tiers in terms of budget (at $ 58 million per episode - a total budget of $ 465 million - Amazon Prime’s The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power has become the most expensive television series ever made)" - so there's no room for excuses. They clearly afforded the top of both fields (be it writers, actors or producers).

Even the backlash in question has the same issue at its roots. Personally, i don't/didn't even intend to watch Ariel - no matter how they made/remade it. The original was enough for me. Yet, the issue is quite obvious none the less. Again, fuck forced inclusion - that's BS. You'd ratter see a remake of Ariel where she's now black just for the sake of inclusion - or a new show, a new story of a Black mermaid - which has her own identity.

Who wrote squid games?

lol

Lol because you provided Squid Games as an example, so I asked you who wrote it. You keep complaining about feminism and then added that Squid Games is a huge success but not because of "fake woke-ism". Our society enjoys those type of movies; violence, psychological thriller. The show isn't that deep into with what we've been discussing.

Sigh fake men.

If you didn't see the movie or not aware why it's so popular looked it up. As mentioned above - Squid Game didn't suffer from any woke-ism (as you put it). That's actually a good example - of a impactful female character done right. Somehow similar to the old days of writing a female character like - Sarah Connor (Terminator Series) or Ellen Ripley (Alien Series). You ask basic questions - where the answers are a google search away.

Sigh, shallow woman who always reads between lines. 🙄

So you should have googled remake movies and how much they've made 🤷🏾‍♀️.

I asked a simple question but came with an attitude.

Have yourself a good day, stay woke 👋🏽
