The Little Mermaid - Live-Action Hot Take

[DrClout]

Is your outrage for Jonthan Taylor Thomas getting recasted to a JD Mcray for Simba the same as the Little Mermaid's "recasting"?

Dumbo looks like his original animated version so.. what?

[6souls]

There's evidence that they started the hashtag nonsense

Where is that? I could only find a conspiracy theory.

There's evidence that they started the hashtag nonsense, obviously the rest followed. Unlike you lot I don't have the truth of the universe in my palm, I'm just a white supremacist after all no?

Post the evidence.

You're "racist" because you're saying she's better off this way and she wasn't good enough as she was. As if she needed to be black for the story to have any meaning. Obviously it's an hyperbole to show you how silly you sound when you call me racist simply because I don't want her changed in any form.

Oh wow idgi but ok

No, because in the case of The Lion King it's only voiceover. Why are we making these comparisons that don't make any sense?

I'm talking looks....

[Salodin]

It's about looks

The only look that's changed is her skin tone

Her skin tone is not important in any way so it doesnt matter if it gets changed. If that matters to you, then boy is that really telling about yourself.

Do you follow those steps at all?

Because the senselessness of it still applies to an animated character. Many are makimg a huge deal over changing the race of a cartoon.

Let's try this Raven of Teen Titans is drawn as white but the recent live action had her casted as black. Was there THIS much of a big deal over that decision?

If all we care about is accuracy, then fuck it, let's go.

And if they're going to be race appropriate, they should also be age appropriate

[Salodin]

So...its not wrong to fantasize about Elsa?

Hmm...

Pocahontas in real life was 11-13 when she met John Smith.

Complaining about a change in (color) casting is fueling the outrage culture you abhor. It's only "pandering" when people are this upset about the change. If no one cared about the change, like nearly everyone in this thread, there would be no reason for Disney to "pander" to a culture of outrage.

If Disney did not cast this right then we will know, but right now we can only put our faith in the casting team that they chose the right candidate for the role.

[Dotsudoku]

Perfection.
