U r racist
Simple fact:
Get out (2017)
#1 Boxoffice in South Korea for 1 week
Black Panther (2018)
#1 Boxoffice in South Korea for 4 weeks
During 2017~2018, Koreans loved the movies with charming black actors and actresses.
in 2023, American says that Koreans are racist.
Honestly, No.
The Little Mermaid is just poor movies for both children and adults.
Indeed!
10000000% true
I loved the movie. It was so beauftiful, fun and emotional
I’m korean and I always watch Jordan Peele’s movie in theater. It always satisfied me
Director Bong Jun ho even had to refer to subtitles as the reason many Americans don't watch foreign films and called it the one inch barrier. Americans barely watch films made with foreign languages. Are Americans racist for not watching Korean films in theaters?
American's won't even watch dubbed live action movies.
Yes. Many Americans believe they don't have to learn a foreign language. It's common to assume if marrying someone from a different country, that the spouse will learn English and they don't have to learn their partner's language. Obviously, not everyone is like this and will learn their spouses language regardless and there are many TH-cam channels that show couples learning each other's languages. But when you question those who don't believe they should learn, most of the time it comes down to jingoism. Just because they marry someone from another culture doesn't mean they respect them&their culture. Btw, the USA does not have an official language, even if most would assume it's English.
The experience of Asian Americans is different from Asians. I remember reading an essay of a Chinese American and how she got bullied in school. How her bullied made fun of her and her culture only later in life to show off when learning her language because then it was convenient for them. They learned because it was advantageous for them and not because they were interested in the history or culture. And of course, they never acknowledged their mistreatment towards her.
@@harrissmith9941 We don’t force Koreans to watch Hollywood movies. Also Koreans don’t come out with ridiculous accusations like the Americans do, especially when Korea isn’t the only country where TLM flopped big. TLM did horrible all over the world.

@@Ghost-pb4ts I’m specifically talking about watching foreign films in theaters not music or shows that can be streamed or manga. The horrible box office results prove it. How many American people watched Parasite in theaters?

The Little Mermaid is underperforming at the box office not only in South Korea but worldwide. It is unfair to attribute the failure of a Hollywood movie solely to Asia.

@@ashmet1 It's not about black actors, its more like the actor is not suited to the character.
Get your facts right. The movie has made over 400 million dollars, and it hasn't even been out long. They just released new numbers, so sorry, you are factually incorrect.
Small return for a Disney movie ….Bud lite is happening to their wokeness
@@TheDevilSpawn How is that true when Halle Bailey's acting is bright and bubbly just like Ariel's, and shows a range of emotions throughout. AND has a sweet, light, yet powerful voice? Even the critics actually liked Halle's acting... nobody criticized her acting. Just her race.
한국은 단일민족국가이고 해외 영화 주인공의 인종은 큰 관심이 없습니다. 알라딘을 예로 들면, 지니가 백인이던 흑인이던 미국에서나 논쟁거리였지 한국인들은 별로 신경을 쓰지 않아요. 그냥 영화가 별로 재미없어서 비판하는것 뿐인데 인종차별자라고 매도하니 당황스럽네요.

#JustBlock Disney in asia.
we'll wait&see the collapse 😰
I am saying this as a black person. Disney doesn't care about black people because if they did they would make original movies with black characters rather than race swapping. Black people that defend this are just not seeing things for what they are. It's like getting me a hand me down and being happy with it. I would rather Disney choose not to make movies with black leads than race swap them
Why is it more important to cast the role based on the actress skin color than the actress's ability to sing? I thought the most important thing about Ariel was her singing which is why her having to give up her voice to get legs was such a big sacrifice.
I'm black and could give a damn. The movie was actually good representation of the original I watched as a kid. Halle totally fit the vibe as Ariel and she can sing her ass off, which is all that should matter.
I agree with you my guy
@@Aurelyn I actually didn't like the way Halle Bailey sang in the movie. It's not that she sounds bad or anything. The girl has amazing pipes and can sing for sure but I'm so used to the original Ariel's voice, I guess. That quintessential classic Disney/Broadway style. Halle sounds too modern and pop/R&B to fit the role. If only she had just sung the songs the way they were sung in the original film and not tried to "make it her own". Other than that I had no issues with her playing Ariel. I think she's very pretty. It's really sad that people are so prejudiced against her because of her skin colour.
@@s_shalehIt is sad. Also the way Ariel sang the songs was the director's choice, I heard, not hers.
정작 뮬란은 생각보다 흥행 못하고. 흑인이 주인공인 블랙팬서는 한국에서 500만명이나 보면서 굉장히 흥행했는데...
이제는 억까 당하는것도 걍 해탈한 수준이라 아무렇지 않으니 마음대로 생각했으면 좋겠다고 느낌.
Black Panther 1 enjoyed immense popularity in South Korea, attracting a staggering 5.4 million viewers, which made it a phenomenal success. Its opening day alone drew in an impressive 630,012 viewers, breaking the record for the highest opening in South Korea for 2018. This achievement was notable as it had been four years since a foreign film, Frozen in 2014, dominated the box office during the Lunar New Year holiday season. Black Panther 1 shattered that record.
Notably, Black Panther 1 also became the fastest foreign film to reach over 5 million viewers among all movies released in Korea in February 2018. The fact that it ultimately amassed 5.4 million viewers indicates that it captured the attention of over 10% of South Korea's entire population.
Some may argue that Black Panther's success was unsurprising given its association with the Marvel franchise. To counter this, let's consider another example.
Get Out, a satirical movie tackling racism, was not widely recognized initially. Consequently, Korean film importers had no plans to bring the film to Korea. However, many Korean individuals went as far as crowdfunding and petitioning the importers to release the movie. Eventually, Get Out climbed to the top of the Korean box office, becoming the second-largest performance worldwide after the United States. Director Jordan Peele, in a promotional video for his next film, Us, acknowledged that Get Out was born in the United States but found tremendous support and success in Korea.
Does this indicate Koreans are racist? It's unfair to attribute The Little Mermaid's failure solely to racial discrimination. People in Korea refuse to go to movie the little mermaid not because they are racists but Disney didn't make a good movie.
Proximity to blackness proves nothing. Therefore, just because those movies (Black Panther & Get Out) were successful doesn't mean that society doesn't blatantly display, excuse and justify racism. NOTABLY Black Panther and Get Out had black MALE leads.

As a korean,I feel like americans and overall the westerners tend to think racism is all about blackpeople,Thankfully,as you mentioned,’get out’ and ‘blackpanther’ was a big hit in korea but that doesn’t ‘prove’that ‘koreans aren’t racist’. we liked the movies because it was entertaining to watch,well-made not necessarily because it featured black people. Similarly, we wanted the 3d version of the beloved disney’s little mermaid, because in korea , ‘live action’ contents are loved when it accurately captures the charm of the original:we have fun comparing the original and the ‘live action’,and love how similar they look. But the ‘little mermaid’ although with the same name,and same studio did not look like the little mermaid we were expecting.I saw some comments saying that since hailey’s vocal was well enough, but in korea we didn’t think only her vocals is what ariel is all about and were disappointed by how the live action failed to capture the look of the original character.
+I’ve heard that black people tend to have a hard time in hollywood,but I think black actors deserve a better,more fitting role and story,rather than a mc in a old german fairytale
+not to be rude,but I consider judging someone wheter they are racist or not based on whether thy watch a black featured movie is a pretty shallow way of filtering racists
Comparing black panther a film that is supposed to have a leading black cast to a cast that has historically has not is wild and you know that so stop acting dumb. 😂
Well said
It’s not just Korean or Asian’s, it did badly worldwide. Don’t blame people if you make bad movies, Disney.
The film has grossed $530 million worldwide against a total production budget of $250 million
@@JusticeIsALie Due to marketing costs and constraints, the break-even point is at least $700 million. This movie is definitely going to be in the red. No matter how much you deny reality, money and numbers don't lie.
@@shinyrain3074 only $170 million more to go!
@@JusticeIsALie I believe the box office will be eventually even or more than cost. but people would think twice to invest in these kind of movie again cause it's causing controversial and it does not perform well as an investment product.
@@johnli7818 will probably make a profit, gotta remember people will pay when it’s available on Disney+ before it’s available for everyone without a fee on Disney+. They did similar for other Disney produced movies
As a black person, I’d appreciate if Disney just made more black character movies than race swapping in the movie ‘the little Mermaid’ and the other characters in the movie we’re barely seeing. 😢
We need our own stories, if Disney took time to explore among black ethnics, there’s so many stories for blacks to put out there.
맞는 말이에요
True, look at black panther, it's original and new and people loved it..
Agree
They are making more original black story’s but the racists still aren’t happy
Disney can even create black princess. Look at Princess Tiana from "The princess and the frog". Black male cast? look at Lilo and Stitch named Cobra bubbles.
진짜 미국언론들 웃기는 소리하는거 같다.

I’m American and black and I agree with you! The media wants us all to fight each other. Truthfully, I don’t even want to see this stupid movie! I am so sick of “the first black this, the first woman that! The first Asian, blah blah blah!“ They need new stories, and they need to do a good job making a movie. Otherwise they shouldn’t expect anyone to want to go see these stupid movies. I love Korean people and I love all people.
SKorea must break away from the USA. USA is only interested in war. China's goal is to unite the world (BRICS). It would be a stupid move for China to invade Skorea or NKorea. Therefore, there is nothing in it for Koreans to ally with USA who only looks to maintain its hegemony.
@@smitmarv당신같은 사람이 있어서ㅡ다행이에요 감사합니다👍
I actually agree with this Black Panther was very successful in Korea and I've seen how brutally honest Koreans are when they dont like a drama or a movie they won't force themselves to watch to try and appease others. I keep saying this and I'll say it again if you don't want to watch the movie don't force yourself to. To be honest the movie for me lacked the vibrancy and color the original had I didn't enjoy it as much but I would enjoy Disney making new stories and focusing on creating a piece of film that touches people rather than a lazy race swap and expecting everyone to be happy about it.
I think this is it. Guilt tripping and accusing people into watching a movie shouldn't be normalized.

Western media is very funny. In Europe, the film also received huge critical reviews and was sluggish at the box office. Nevertheless, it only criticizes East Asia. Personal attacks and mocking memes against the black mermaid were all created in the American Internet community. The United States has no right to criticize any other country. Especially, there is no right to criticize South Korea, where racially-related violent murders are much rarer than in the US and Europe.
And in South Korea, Spider-Man: New Universe with a black Spider-Man was a hit, and Aladdin with a black Genie was watched by more than 10 million people (1/5 of Entire South Korean Population). Black Panther was also quite successful in South Korea. Rethink whether racism is a real factor or the movie itself is the problem.
I feel like US is trying too much to share their piece of cake made of their racism with the rest of the world. Can they start solving their own problems without forcing it on the rest of the world? How can I be racist towards black people here in Europe where I encounter one once in a blue moon?
agree, actually Black Panther was a huge success in Korea alongside with America and the UK. also part of the black panther was filmed in Busan, which is one of the biggest city in Korea.

Korea had the biggest box office for black panther outside US, UK and China, if you consider Korea's population size is merely a fraction of the other 3 countries you can clearly see Korea embracing Black Panther as a whole and unfazed by a black lead cast. If you consider other examples of huge hits in korean box office from foreign non-hollywood films with brown or black lead cast that have failed to reach similar success in western countries. Koreans seem to be more accepting of multiple ethnicities represented on screen. Korea has a huge market of live action versions of their web published graphic novels called webtoons, whilst small deviation is accepted and embraced large departures from original series are often heavily criticised as it appears staying true to the original is a more important factor to the Korean consumers than we realise.
Suddenly hollywood wants us to believe little mermaid tanking must be due to Korean racism and not the fact that disney botched another live action remake.
Let us not forget the times western remakes of popular japanese animated series like avatar the last airbender, dragonball z failing in western markets, you couldnt say it was because the western consumers were racist to the white cast, but rather the failure of the end result in living up to the original.
Korea should stop dickriding USA. Trust me. Korea would be better off without them.

Yeah, it's always like this. White people and black people only point out and condemn discrimination against black people.
But they don't care about discrimination against Hispanics, Asians, Gingers, Indians, or even recognize that it's discrimination. If Asia really discriminated against blacks, Aladdin and Spider-Man wouldn't have been box office hits.
CNN wrote that The Little Mermaid flopped in Asia because of "racism" in China and Korea, but isn't it the United States that is racist?
Many of the world's largest companies have diversity departments, but are they really "diversity" departments?
Are they staffed by people of every race in the world?
I absolutely agree with you. If you have lived in US or have friends, it is not hard to find out this issue. What they mean as diversity is not real idealism of diversity.
It's just virtue signalling
Korea exports kimchi to you, but you don't buy much kimchi. You are racist against Koreans. This is the logic you're arguing for, right?
It was never about racism. Encanto, Coco, Aladdin, (etc.) are all well received everywhere even though their main characters are POC. What's the difference? These movies were ORIGINAL, the art/visuals were COLOUFUL and thoroughly done, and those Characters being POC of a culture actually ADDED to the story (it influenced the music, setting, art styles, plot interactions with family and others, etc.)
Swapping Ariel's race to Black added nothing to the movie's plot or characterisation whatsoever. If Hailey could be swapped out with another White actress without affecting the plot, art, or character interactions, then the movie was not true representation to begin with. Notice how if you swapped races with the movies I mentioned, it will just not work.
Unfortunately the media is taking advantage of this and guilt-tripping everyone by calling them racists for not liking this movie. Disney needs to realise what REAL representation is instead of lazily allocating a POC actress in a cheap-looking, recycled movie while trying to tick the boxes for "being diverse"
Maybe you haven’t been on Korean forums, but there’s a lot of racism surrounding it too.
@@Envy28496 Whether we like it or not racism will always be a thing as POCs, but as usual the media will sensationalize and amplify the racist opinions of a minority, and make it seem that the movie flopped because of racism. That isn't advocating for POCs, that's just further putting us under an unreasonably bad spotlight for further targeted hate. The movie simply flopped cuz it was just not a great remake.
@@Envy28496 like american and other countries forum. racist are in everywhere.
Exactly what would be different in a story about a “black” mermaid? Why can’t Black people just be neutral fantasy creatures? Why do you guys have to shoehorn African related folklore into everything the moment it’s a black person playing the role? Can you not see us as people instead of a skin color? Literally nothing changed in the story line by her having darker skin. A mermaid isn’t a human being. Movies change eye colour and hair colour all the time. Yet the moment they change skin colour and it’s a black person, suddenly it’s a huge problem? This isn’t Mulan or Belle where are the culture is very obvious and part of the story. The original little mermaid literally had a Jamaican crab and black Caribbean music. But God forbid a black person actually sing those songs as the mermaid. Then the movie isn’t “black” enough.
@Envy92 and there's probably even more racism stemming from America but they're the ones who are pointing fingers at other countries for being the racists? Pathetic. Literally 80% of the racist backlash online is American-made
I could care less who is playing the characters but I will say I’m so tired of the remakes😭Disney has given us too many live action Princess movies and ppl are tired. We already know how the story goes. It would’ve been more interesting if Disney did the older original animations but from a different characters point of view. Something like Maleficent, or have a movie from Ursula’s pov. I think Disney should do princess villain adaptations instead because people loved Maleficent more than the Cinderella remake around that time
Fr majority of their remakes are flops, Maleficent really was the best from all of them
They won’t stop tbh, i am pretty sure they’re gonna remake all of their classical cartoons into live action remake. Disney only care about money, and this is not the 1st time they did it, back at 90’s, disney keep making an unnecessary sequel with downgrade animation quality & poor story-writing.
There are 2 maleficent movies. I think that's more than enough from ger point of view...even though it's live action... But I think your idea is perfect, older original animations from different character point of view. Perfect.
That would require effort and creativity. Nope Disney is going to keep pumping out boring remakes and sequels for easy cash instead of making something new.
Why boycotting specifically this one tho? The other remakes were very accepted until The Little Mermaid… Maleficent even has a sequel!
I would appreciate it if Disney could create a superhero movie with a Korean protagonist. If it doesn't succeed in the United States, there's no doubt that Americans were racist.
디즈니는 링컨 영화의 주인공을 아시아인으로 하길 바랍니다
sherlock the Realty is many Korean parents didn't take their kids to see little mermaid because the lead didn't fit their white princess beauty standard. Look Sherlock let's be honest here many East Asians believe being black is ugly and to them, an ugly person cannot be a princess.
Americans being racist is a literal fact, it's not a doubt. The majority of humans on this planet are racist. But you've kinda forgotten that many Americans fetishize Asians, so a korean superhero would most likely become popular with the Americans anyways.

I am well aware that the Korean market's public opinion is important in the global film and game industry. So I'm telling you, the reason why we turned away from the Little Mermaid is not because of race, but because the movie itself is bad

It's no longer a movie if you are labeled as terrible person when you don't watch it. For those kind of films we call it, "Propaganda".
Fact
Agree
It depends on the reason why you don't want to watch it. It's okay if you don't watch it if you get bored of live action remakes or because were unsure of the quality. But if you're not watching it because you can't get over how a mermaid and princess can be black, then that's terrible. Esp when the original folktale doesn't describe its race and how mermaid historically come from syria and even west africa (a quick google search will do) lol.
Sure there's a propagandistic element to Disney movies. Besides money like any corporation, their goal is to try to get people to be more accepting of those who are different or even traditionally looked at as inferior. So the movies they come out with will intentionally "propagandize" those watching it. I find noble aspects to this cause and so I don't mind it even when the casting doesn't fit what I expect. I saw this movie and was super impressed with the girl who played Ariel. They can make another movie someday with a true redhead. But there's a lot to appreciate about this version and the intent behind it.
@@IntersectingstuffKoreans have very high beauty standard that sometimes we are really picky, I acxept it. It is not the matter of the skin color, the mermaid doesn't meet the expectation on THE mermaid. BTW Koreans think the mermaid is rather OK comparing to Sébastien, he is a total horror, should be in the next ailen movie.
At some point, Hollywood began to blame the audience, not the production crew, if the movie went bankrupt.
If Korea were a serious racist country, Black Panther also would've not been popular here. But it was totally successful.

The opinion that Koreans don't watch The Little Mermaid because they are racists is unfounded. Koreans tend to be indifferent towards racial issues because Korea, as a mono-ethnic nation for the past 5,000 years, has not experienced conflicts related to race. Although the United States witnessed a black-and-white controversy surrounding the casting of the Genie in Disney's live-action film Aladdin, Koreans did not pay much attention to whether the Genie was portrayed as white or black. Of course, there is a perception that Koreans are desensitized to racism. In the past, Koreans may have had language habits that were unpleasant for people of other races to hear. However, it is important to note that these habits were not intended to make them uncomfortable or to discriminate against them. Instead, they were a product of Korea's unique historical background. Applying the concept of political correctness to Koreans without considering the distinctiveness of Korea's 5,000-year history, if anything, could be seen as discriminatory thinking and behavior.

I don’t understand why they just can’t make an original movie with a black character.
Like I’m from South Africa and in Africa their is so much good folklore that can be turned into movies and their are many real historical princesses they can make movies about.
Imagine they changed Pocahontas or Princess and the frog or Mulan to a different race. I’m pretty sure people will be outraged.
Even with Anastasia if they made a remake and she wasn’t Russian it just wouldn’t feel right. Or if they made Moana’s hair straight. Or made Merida a blonde. It wouldn’t be right.
Exactly this!
I'd go one further, that even when you have movies like Black Panther, it is actually written by and staring Americans in the roles of actual African people. I want to see African people, and people of all cultures, telling their own stories.
I'm Asian but I can answer for your question. Disney is iconic and one of American culture. They want to present all type of Americans. You know... Black people in the US is different with people in Africa. They're part of the diverse society. They don't need new story for Black folks. They need to be part of the story like white people. Default human being is always White in Hollywood.
Because the Mermaid is... a mermaid. Race/Culture wasn't a part of the story. Ariel being white/black/whatever is immaterial.
Pocahontas and Mulan's races and cultures are integral to their stories where it wouldn't make sense to have white or black actresses play them
@@ScottSteiner55 but if they swapped Anastasia who is a Russian princess and made her a British princess. It also wouldn’t be right. I bet they’ll probably make her a Ukrainian Princess💀if that happened if wouldn’t be right also.
Or imagine they swapped Rapanzel to.
I bet u if Ariel was originally black but they turned her to a white character their would also be a argument about that.
People just don’t want the original character to be completely changed.
I understand she’s a mermaid but they could of really then just made another mermaid movie with an og black character.
'Black Panther' surpassed 5 million viewers on its 18th day in Korea. It was the first time in Korea to surpass 5 million viewers in 2018 and the shortest foreign film ever released in February. Why now try to pass on to us their mistakes that didn't portray the Little Mermaid in fairy tale illustrations or animations as black? Don't change the characters that have been drawn before, just write a different story with a black person as the main character. They're just making excuses because they can't do it.
This part. Also, the whole point of movies is that it's an art form that draws many opposing opinions. There are movies with less than 20% rotten tomatoes rankings from decades ago that are considered cult classics now. There are comic/fantasy books that have turned into movies and disappointed audiences for not staying true to the literature. Movies aren't about forcing people to gush about things they didn't like. Asians are a ginormous group of individuals, not one monolith. They don't need to bow down as a collective group and like everything that's placed in front of them smh
@@siiiiiuu7 of course..but when a movie is being reviewed bombed by ppl who refused to watch because "black girl can't be Ariel" than yes it can be seen as bigote.. because at that point your ONLY reason for not seeing this movie was because "black girl playing a fictional character that was originally green and then turned white with red hair" then it seems like you can't tolerate a fictional character being a different race.

However, in my case, and for many others, I was pretty disappointed that Ariel wasn't being portrayed by an actress who looked like the Ariel character. Whether or not she's a fictional character is irrelevant, when applied to my opinion. Because I'm not saying I don't want to see a black girl playing a mermaid, or a black person playing a queen, or a fairy, or insert character.

Korea is not really talking about the color.
We are talking about how poorly the movie was made.
simply we compare with original animation that was produced in same company.
Some of people are saying Koreans are racists, but when Chadwick Boseman died, we cried together. When we watch Chiwetel in '12 years a slave', we were sad and mad together about what we have watched through the screen and feel the pain.
Disney released the movie in KOR first cuz they were expecting some good feedback as usual and they turned over cuz they did not hear what they were expected.
What a crucial company that misleading kids into wrong way hating Koreans or thinking Koreans are racists.
Disney is literally making another discrimination by making frames about Korean.
SKorea must break away from the USA. USA is only interested in war. China's goal is to unite the world (BRICS). It would be a stupid move for China to invade Skorea or NKorea. Therefore, there is nothing in it for Koreans to ally with USA who only looks to maintain its hegemony.
It’s a little about skin tone and casting someone that looks
Nothing like Ariel. The hair was also bland not a bright red.
That’s ok to point out as a reason for something to disappoint a potential buyer. There are so many issues with this film beyond just that.
In
America white people are made to feel that we are racist or phobic if we don’t support something. If we don’t bow to their demands.
Don’t pay attention to whining about racism or rainbowphobic.
Idk if we can get over it in America without radical change and just not caring anymore about “white guilt”. I know I’m tired of it.
The very first poster said they specifically disliked the casting choice for Ariel.
Why would that be?
Hmmm becuase they wanted it to be a carbon copy of the original and they also dislike blacks.
If they had if casted her lightskin Korean they wouldn't have cared.
They are doing nothing BUT talking about her color. Please. And...how can you criticize a movie you have not scene. Everyone knows what this is about. They do not like the casting of a black Ariel. Well....get over it....she showed up to an audience and stole the show with her voice. She got the role due her incredible singing voice, so get over it. No one can hear this girl sing and not admit to her exceptional talent.
Thats actually untrue. Literally at the end of this video two interviewees said that Korea was unaccepting of racial diversity. When NewJeans' Danielle was announced as the voice of Ariel in the Korean dub, the group posted a photo with Halle and the comments were FILLED with racism and racist jokes. Sure, racism wasn't the sole factor, but it definitely was a factor.
Some American media use the excuse that this film's failure was due to racism in some Asian countries,
but at least in Korea, if you look for Korea-related episodes with director Jordan Peele's film Get Out,
that stupid theory doesn't work.
Break away from the USA. USA is only interested in war. China's goal is to unite the world (BRICS). It would be a stupid move for China to invade Skorea or NKorea. Therefore, there is nothing in it for Koreans to ally with USA who only looks to maintain its hegemony.
Except it does work and it certainly was a a factor especially considering race and "casting" was a recurring topic throughout this entire video. The girl at 9:00 directly states that Halle's blackness is what made the STORY unenjoyable. The girl at 10:43 said that casting a black woman in a lead role made people focus on hatred towards black people... aka racism. The girls at 14:40 and 16:00 even said they think that since Korea is conservative, they are unaccepting towards racial diversity... aka racism. The guy in green at 8:45 is telling us to ask ourselves "Why cant Ariel be black?" because HE GETS IT, why cant Ariel be black? or brown? or a tan asian? Why do all idols in Asia have to always have the lightest whitest skin when not everyone is naturally like that? Even when NewJeans' Danielle was announced as the voice of Ariel for the Korean dub, the group posted a picture with Halle on their instagram and the comments were FILLED with racism and racist jokes. SURE not everyone who complained about her race was racist, but a good amount of them were.

한국인들은 미디어를 판단하는 기준이 매우 높다. 배우의 외모, 원작과의 유사성, 작품성, 심미성 등등 여러 요소를 가지고 영화를 판단한다. 한국에서 흥행한 흑인 영화도 매우 많은데 왜 TLM만 성적이 부진할까? 간단하다. 작품성이 떨어지기 때문이다. 이에 대해 영화를 조금이라도 비판하거나 싫어하는 기색을 보이면 그것을 인종차별주의자라고 몰아간다.

THIS 💯! Racist gets thrown around a lot these days, it’s lost all meaning.
There need to be no logical explanation for customers who didn’t enjoy movie. They paid for seats and if many audiences didn’t like the movie than the producer didn’t make movie that’s worth paying for.
If you ask people to make logical reports for customers why they didn’t enjoy the movie you should give money back before you asked for it. So stop making nasty excuses like US media blaming global failure of the movie to Asians.
Why do you think Disney fired producer, diversity director and staffs? Bc they made so so movie. It wasn’t mega hit globally. Simple fact!
Not everyone enjoyed nor globally recognized and not all races even in US loved the movie. There are hundreds of critics and bad reviews about this movie and disappointments from old fans or original animations as much as good ones. Just this movie was not commercially successful worldwide.

There is a deep rooted anti-blackness in Asian culture…It doesn’t even make sense for Ariel to be white in the first place. The movie is placed in the Caribbean. The characters have Caribbean accents…Why should she be White?
Why should I suddenly be racist just because I didn't watch a movie I didn't want to see?
America is always open and develops in a good way, but sometimes it is sensitive to every stupid sound.
What intelligent and articulate questions and responses. Very impressed at the level of reasoning by everyday Koreans.
This is Disney's method to avoid criticism. Because they just attribute any negative press to racism so as to avoid the main problem. These remakes are soulless cash-grabs intent on banking on nostalgia. While simultaneously trying to be politically correct and appeal to a "modern audience". Just give us good, original productions that actually leave the "family fun" image that grew the brand. WITHOUT trying to lecture us about some western agenda.
Couldn't have worded it better myself.
agree, Disney just made people from difference races to fight each other.
Exactly this. There is no imagination left in Hollywood. Keep pumping out remakes and sequels for easy money zero effort or creativity required, race swap someone as a shield for criticism when it tanks either in reviews or box office. Rinse and repeat.

You are 💯 correct. BLM WAS AND IS A RACIST movement. If you tell them ALL LIVES MATTER they attack you as a racist. There is a disproportionate number of violent attacks on Asians by blacks in America but we aren't even allowed to talk about that. That IS real racism!
There was an incident where two black cops killed an Asian dad and his son and there was zero outrage. Nobody said ANYTHING about it. The son was just a child!
So what about the incidents where Asian people kill and curse black people which happens a lot, even these days Asians are GOING TO THE BLACK HOMELAND OF AFRICA AND TURNING CHILDREN INTO SLAVE WORKERS FOR THEIR SAMSUNG PHONES AND HIGH TECH GADGETS NOBODY HAS EVER CARED ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE AND WILL ALWAYS MAKE US OUT TO BE THE EVIL ONES.

I mean, Dragonball Evolution also flop badly due to the live adaptation were way too diverted from the original manga/anime.
It's mostly because most of people (adults) are already know the story, so the only reason that they go to the cinemas are to watching the story that they hold dearly realized in bigger screen. If the realization are not meet their expectations or their original image, it would be very hard to watch.
Dragonball Evolution flopped badly because it's straight cringe garbage, just like most of other recent anime live action remake. It doesn't matter how close the plot stayed to the original story if the acting and CGI are just cringe.
@@liltunwin It was still weird AF that they made Goku white.. I mean if he was Asian it wouldn't have worked cause the movie was garbage but still
@jordanmcginnis4892 it's not that weird in that particular case. Goku is not even from Earth, much less Asian.
@@liltunwin That's like saying superman is an alien from krypton but we all know he looks like a white guy with blue eyes. Same deal. Goku is a sayjin and sayjins look like Asians
@@JordansTake35 It's not even close to the same deal. The fundamental difference in American comics vs manga/anime is that in American comics, especially in Superman case, are typically drawn with features to resemble real human or animals whereas anime is much more flexible in the interpretation of a character. In the first place ain't nobody in this planet got them anime looking eyes.
But why does it matter what the actor ethnicity is in fictional stories with fictional world? What matter is if they can pull off the vibe and authenticity of a character, in which case to your example Goku is a generic looking light skin (relatively) person with spiky hair. You don't strictly need an Asian to fit that description because he's not drawn with any of the stereotypically Asian features in the first place.

92년도 LA 폭동 당시를 회상해 보면, CNN 방송사에서 백인과 흑인의 갈등으로 인하여 폭동이 발생하자 갑자기 91년도 두순자 강도사건을 전면으로 내세우더니, 흑인과 한국인 간의 인종 갈등으로 백인의 피해를 피해가려던 꼼수를 우리는 기억하고 있다. 한국은 블랙팬서, 알라딘, 맨인블랙 처럼 흑인 주연의 영화도 매우 흥행한 나라이고, "흑형(Black brother)"이라는 단어가 있을 만큼 N워드만 있는 것이 아니라, 흑인에 대한 신체적 부러움을 그들에게 표현하는 것이 만연한 나라이다. 물론 한국이라고 인종 차별이 없는 나라도 아니지만, 미국이나 유럽과는 비교할 수 있는 수준은 아니라고 생각한다. 그리고, 굳이 인종차별을 논한다면, 황인에 대한 인종차별이 흑인에 대한 인종차별보다 훨씬 더 심한 것이 북미, 남미와 유럽지역이다. 영화 캐스팅을 못생긴 흑인 여배우로 지정했고, 영화 영상미가 떨어져서 원작과 너무 다른 논조라서 아이들이 보기에 적합하지 않은 영화로 만든 것은 디즈니인데, 디즈니 영화 안본다고 인종차별로 프레임을 씌우는 짓은 비열하다.
그리고 굳이 정치적 올바름에 대한 의견을 적자면, 디즈니는 왕자를 흑인으로 캐스팅 하지, 어째서 못생긴 인어 공주를 흑인으로 선택했고, 백인 왕자가 변덕스러운 흑인 공주를 육지로 인도하는 듯한 스토리를 짠 건가? 디즈니야 말로 인종차별주의적인 발상으로 기획한 것이 아닌가?
아, 그리고 이번에 알았는데, 미국에서는 백인이 못생긴 흑인 여가수를 못생겼다고 말하면 인종차별자로 낙인찍힌다는 사실을 알았다. 솔직히 할리 베일리는 노래 정말 잘 부르고, 장래에 가수로서 세계적으로 대성할 수 있는 목소리를 가졌지만, 연기는 잘 못하고 이쁜 배우는 아니라서 원작처럼 왕자를 반할만한 미모를 가지고 있는 공주 역할에 어울리지는 않는다. 나이도 어린데, 디즈니 때문에 너무 낙담말고 민감한 사회 문제나 주제에 대해 신경쓰지 말고 그냥 노래 연습 잘해서 세계적인 가수 되었으면 좋겠다.
I haven’t seen any of the live action remakes just because I loved the cartoons and didn’t need a realistic reimagining for any of them. Besides that, I think the 3D characters should have been made in a stylized way, they actually look creepy because they’re realistic. The color palette and vibe is also too gloomy. Kids loved the original because it instills a sense of wonder and makes you want to live in the ocean and I didn’t get that sense from the trailer.
Same, have not seen any of them because I feel the classics are to remain untouched. Also Spider Man across the spider verse does not have a white lead character and that movie is amazing (saw it twice) because Miles was already an Afro-Latino character and nothing was changed. Disney is putting out these live action re-makes for cash grabs because the only color they truly care about is green.
Your judgment from not seeing them was the same as mine before I had. Aladdin and the little mermaid were both visually stunning. They were bright and colorful. The characters don't fully look real, almost like a DreamWorks production of Shrek. I haven't watched the Jungle book one, but I hear it's the best of all the live action remakes.

People seem to forget The Little Mermaid is from Hans Christen Andersen. Disney might have popularized the version most of us know, but they didn't create it. It's just another interpretation.
I wonder how a white European author would have wanted Ariel to look like
@@slee2695 Bruh Hans Christian Andersen wanted the little mermaid to die for being too curious about the surface and she did die in the original. Disney already made tons of changes to the original story.
@Grovyle Also, in the original story when she became human when ever she walked it felt like she was being stab many times in the legs. They left that out in the Disney versions too.
That goes for most of Disneys IP's. The only reason why we keep seeing more live-action adaptions is because they're scared to lose the Copyright since it's been so long since the animated films were made.
@@Grovyle10 yes Disney made a good adaptation in 89 , and they did a bad one in 2023

because they are lazy , stubborn and disrespectful , they deserve this failure even if they don't learn from it . th same will happen with Snow Latina .
Well maybe they shouldn’t be leaving so many racist comments towards Halle. Ever thought of that?
I watched this movie. I like Halle as a singer but unfortunately, not as an actress. Over-all, I give the movie a 6. Did not like the effects, most of the colors are dark and grim (I guess I am biased by the vibrancy of the animated version).
I still believe that everyone has a right to like and dislike something. So yeah, that is my opinion.
Yes. Ariel has to be pretty. But Halle is ugly. Her wide glabella reminds me of Avatar. I've never been such an ugly Disney princess. The broom-headed, ugly black princess was a shock to me. Very shocked to me.
The East Asia region has no experience of enslaving black people and has no historical interface ... The evaluation of American films was objective... In the case of Black Panther, it ranked first in Korea to watch movies... Rather, don't black people ignore East Asian people?I want black people to judge with objectivity and reason...
There can be many factors to consider besides skin tone that may or may not “translate” when crossing culture lines. Tastes in food and music, style of dance and clothing and even body types change from race to race. A voluptuous figure may be highly revered in one culture, but another culture might prefer a more svelte body type. Some cultures are more quiet/reserved others are boisterous. Etc..
If you ever been attracted to certain physical traits without having to explain or apologize for it, then I see no reason to be mad about this. We're not obligated to find you attractive or go to your movies and vice versa. Get over it.
People are quite tired of the identity politics.

When I and many people think of Ariel we think of a white girl with red hair, blue eyes, a purple shell bra, and a vibrant green tail.
If you change the image of the entire character and then make the whole movie dark and colorless, of course people aren't going to watch.
Nothing to do with Koreans or anyone being racist. People just wanted a faithful adaptation.
stand with Koreans
As a black person, I agree with everything everyone said in this video. Hollywood is trying way too hard to push this PC narrative. It would’ve been better to have just made an original story with original characters who happened to be black (or you know, remake one of your own that already has a black princess. The Princess and the Frog) but naw. They’ve ran out of ideas and can’t think for themselves anymore so they just keep deciding to take old ideas and make them into something that would fit THEIR own political ideas. It’s low key propaganda imo. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for inclusivity, but there are other ways to do it, and this ain’t it.
Lots of asians have been deeming White liberal's PC as American version of culture revolution which ended in disater in China. Let's wati and see how their revolution is going.
Agree. I’m asian if disney make new animation of black princess or live in action of Tiana I will watch it. But I don’t like that they change the appearance of the old princess and it’s not because of racism. If they change Ariel to asian women I won’t watch it too. I just want it too look similar as the animation. I’m anime lover and I also hate anime live in action if they change the character appearance for example attack on titan. I don’t watch the live in action because the character not supposed to be asian and the story also different.
Well said
agree, Disney should stop forcing PC to other country or races. It’s just up to the individuals’ choices and embracement.
I agree. As a brown person and a comic enthousiast I care a lot about authenticity. Pushing this political narrative into the arts is making it more difficult to approach it from an objective perspective.
Also, the quality really suffers. It’s sad.
The popular response to any criticism towards the poor casting choice is racism. But look at what happened with Captain America; another popular FICTIONAL character now played by a black guy. Was there any controversy about that? No? And why is that? Because Sam Wilson; a character of his own, became Captain America. Marvel didn’t race swap Steve Rogers; they actually used a different character!
Similarly, why couldn’t there have been a new mermaid created for Halle Bailey? People have had a certain image of Ariel for decades. The white skinned red headed Ariel is on millions of merchandise, and has been featured in not just the movie, but TV shows as well.
But nah, let’s just drum up all criticisms as racism.
this is how I feel with what I like. it does not erase one character and swap the color from nowhere. Look at Spiderman peter and Spiderman miles morales, they are two different character and it is great!
If Disney had found an original princess story which originated from Africa instead of race swapping a Danish character, it would have been a booming success.
@@Goodwheelgamer pretty much. No race swapping of Peter Parker in the name of token “diversity”. Hollywood doesn’t understand the first thing about diversity, and many of those who want diversity go about it in the worst of ways.
exactly, people reacted the same way over the rumors of casting a black actor to play superman when it inevitably reboots again. there are literally black characters from the planet superman came from, make a movie about them??? forcing black people into roles that were played or portrayed as other races doesn't add value to the storytelling, and it's pathetic the way people will start yelling about racism when you point this out.
So now all of the racist comments that a black girl isn’t pretty enough to play ariel don’t exist? Lol no one cares about a black man playing a strong character the racism comes out when a black girl is portrayed as beautiful. And these are THEIR words. You’re all gaslighting weirdos.
I don't understand what's so hard to understand? People just prefer remake characters and story to match with the original. This is not a matter of race, it's the same thing as how alot of marvel or dc comic fans hate the movies when the character or storyline doesn't match with the original comics. Not everything revolves around race. Even my black friend hated the new mermaid movie because he felt that they forced the race problem into children's movie, which isn't needed. Kids shouldn't have to care about these things, if Disney wants to resolve race issue, they just need to make more diverse characters with different race and not shove race topics down children's throat. I would hate it if they made black panther movie with an asian guy, it'd look ridiculous.

I saw The Little Mermaid and I thought it was a little lazy of Disney because I didn't see an underwater city or kingdom. If felt like her father ran a shack. Ariel had a very sweet and innocent vibe to her.
Sea life live in coral. Ariel’s kingdom of Atlantica was changed to a pillar coral 🪸 for a more organic feel. Mainly because the mermaids are all inspired by various fish. Ariel for example is inspired by betta fish
While I get it’s all fantasy. Disney tends to lean into realism more for live actions. The question has to be asked. If mermaids were real how do they go unnoticed by humans? They would live in rocks & coral among the other sea life. Not in a glowing castle made of gold lol
The underwater scenes were so dull ffs. I hated it
@@crsskll11 Just like the original. The only vibrant colorful under water scene is Sebastian’s musical number. Immediately when it’s over it turns dull again in the original.
@@RemyEdits maybe, but the original makes up for its lack of colour with a more well-thought undersea. The fact that there's a palace, a court, a *city* erases some of its dullness. However, this version has none of that. As OG says: it's lazy.
Instead of making the opening scene be a meeting between Triton and his daughters in a boring cave (which btw I also disliked, since Ariel's supposed to be young, a bit naive, etc, none of which are the qualities of a queen), they should've recreated the original scene; the one that showed a party in honour of Triton. The festivities would've infused some vibrancy into the movies. At least that's what I think ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@crsskll11 Yeah. Good thing you’re not a film maker. It’s a reimagining. Everything in the live action was carefully thought out & every change had a good reason. Some of the changes are drafts that the original didn’t or couldn’t use! It was far from lazy. I enjoyed it more than the original. Sad some people stay stuck and want it to be exactly the same. It would be redundant. No matter which version you like it’s a good story. We’re all still Little Mermaid fans 🤷♂️
