      @@kennedy78 it makes no sense. try not to think too hard bout it it will give u an anuerism. we get labeled as racist just for giving constructive criticism becuz its the narrative that the media is spinning only across the spider-verse was well recieved than the little mermaid becuz Miles morales a black character aside from peter parker who is a white character. Ariel is light skinned wit red hair n wound up getting black washed to fit the narrative of having a black character yet they already had Tiana from Princess n the frog... i jus makes no sense they didn't do princess n the frog instead if they wanted to do a black character.

    The thing I hate most about this movie is the finale, because in the original Eric is a sailor and knows how pilot a ship, so by using the current he was able to drive the boat wreck into Ursula killing her.
    But now SUDDENLY it is Ariel, a mermaid with no prior experience to piloting a ship with her fish lower body is at the helm, with no proper method of holding her ground to shift her weight. Also it messes up the movie entirely, Ariel in the beginning saves Eric and in the finale Eric saves Ariel, it shows that they can rely on each other but noooooooooo.

      She doesn't even steer the ship - she grabs the helm (which is surprisingly steady in such choppy waters) and turns it in one direction before flopping to the deck. The ship literally guides itself into Ursula's gut (who, despite seeing it's approach, does nothing to stop it).
      I.e. - Ariel didn't save Eric - it was a combination of dumb luck and slow reflexes that resulted in Ursula's death.

    I always thought: "Why would Disney need to change a white princess to black if they already have a "woke" black princess: She's a hard worker, and saved all her money to achieve a goal she wanted, the only reason she was denied was due to discrimination bs. And in the end, everything paid off, (literally) and she got everything she wanted through hard work: No fairy Godmother, not even a prince's money, it was her working two jobs. But NOPE, Disney ignores Tiana because "no money".

      She was dealt a hand where she was poor, but rich in family and love. She had a lot of challenges but still remained optimistic even in times in New Orleans when she was genuinely oppressed. She busted her ass, and those pastries looked fire. She was level headed even when she turned into a frog and was the voice of logic, but Naveen taught her to stop and smell the roses. It’s one of the most underrated Disney films of all time, Dr Facilier was badass too friends on the other side was amazing!

      thanks for regurgitating what the video you just watched said, but youre wrong. the problem IS that shes black. because theres 0 reason to race swap her character. literally none. even in the sense of "diversity" and all that bullshit you shouldnt need a pre existing character to change her skin color to feel included. that means you are extremely weak and fragile and should not be making your own choices in life. people with even the slightest bit of IQ can relate to characters based on traits regardless of skin color, and if you cannot see past color of skin then YOU are the racist bigot. you dont strike someone and then cry when they hit you. same way you dont call people racist after changing a pre existing characters skin color for 0 reason or relevance to the plot whatsoever. people have a right to criticize dumb choices that are irrelevant to the plot that only serve to push an agenda.

    I would like to say though, Ursula WAS originally written to be Tritons sister and they added this in the Broadway musical (which seriously they should have just adapted instead). The reason Ursula isn't a mermaid from what I recall is her dabbling in dark magic on top of being banished for eating the palace citizens and craving the power of the triton, which was given to her brother on their fathers deathbed while she got his magic shell.
    Honestly, this change would probably seem LESS stupid if they just added the song of Ursula singing "I want the good times back".

    - A strong willed and independent young princess with a deep interest in the surface world, with a strong personality, able to argue with her father, Triton to defend her passions. A young woman who is always curious and inquisitive mermaid who loves to explore and collect items from the surface world; she saves a human from a burning ship wreck, which only deepens her admiration for the world above the waves.
    Her actions during the storm kick start the chain of events that not only brings her together with her one true love, but also winds up resulting in Eric defeating Ursula, meaning that Triton has finally begun to see that some humans can be trusted; after all, one of them just saved his daughter's life. It's this plotline that makes Triton able to let his little girl go, and let her make her own path in life.

    I will never understand why Disney has decided to shy away from any sort of romance. It seems counter-intuitive. The age difference between Ariel & the adopted prince seems massive. The guy looks ancient for an unmarried prince, while Ariel looks like a little kid. In the cartoon they made the sisters less attractive than Ariel. In this version they did the opposite. The pink-haired babe is gorgeous.

    Honestly, I would be more sympathetic towards the leading female actress but after how she tried to act as if the live action is immensely superior to the animated one and how she only nitpicks the bad parts about the animated version to fit her narrative, then proceed to act as if the world is racist and out to get her while milking the sh t out of the fact that she got casted as Ariel with all those lame and boring photoshoot.
    So really, at this point, I can't give a f about all the backlash she is getting and how she's the lead in a movie that's undoubtedly going to flop harder than a fish out of water.
    She brought this on herself and I'll be happy if this is going to be the end of her career.

    Disney Purchased the rights to a Trinidadian musical, that was a revived on Broadway called “Once On This Island” in 2020. The book was also written by a Trinidadian woman called Rosa Guy. She was inspired by the original story but infused Trinidadian culture and mythology into her own and Original story. We all know why Disney brought the rights to it. The hypocrites.

    It’s also jarring that in comparison towards the animated film and the live action scenes with the collection room. Triton in the animated film was fatherly stern, forcing his hand and looking back with regret after his daughter’s sadness in order to protect her. Here in the live action, they just have the father just snap and destroy the shit, that and it didn’t even have the statue? Like bruh. Had to finish with an essay about this piece and had to rewatch that underwater dumpster fire for reference comparisons I did like with the Dalmatian series. This is just a mess of a film.

    Yeh, The Little Mermaid animation is brilliant. It's actually one of my faves. Disneys early stuff are brilliant. When they released the first live action remake is when I stated to notice Disney's standards for animation was lowering. I think this is because they started to hire based on whats between peoples legs and what shade of skin they have.

    • @cestmoi5687
      @cestmoi5687 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      These remakes are a sign of a creatively bankrupt company. I remember when the live action Beauty and the Beast came out, and I thought it was a stupid idea. (I later watched it on Netflix, and it was pretty bad.) Then they announced the next project, and I realized this was going to be a pattern. It was then I swore I wouldn't give them my money and reward them for abject laziness.
      There's a reason animation exists - the creators get to show stuff that won't work in live action such as expressiveness in animals. Some animation is just not going to translate well to live action.
      I remember when Disney used to produce wonderful new movies. Seems like a lifetime ago.
