Wasn't the original plan of purchasing Star Wars to have something to appeal to males till the mind virus stayed "the force is female" ruined everything?
I mean, some people have an issue with it, but it’s more about pointless raceswapping in general and not “she’s black now, so she sucks!”
But they can't subvert and create racial tension with that!
I have an issue with it which is; race swapping is racist and if that racist pulls the "racism only applies to certain races" card that racist is 1, being inception level racist to justify their racism; 2, a gaslightling POS; and 3, retarded.
As well they should. A competently made Little Mermaid would have been a guaranteed $1 billion+ worldwide; I can't believe any investor would put up with leadership this incompetent.
Well for the past 10 years they've been able to recoup losses on IDPOL bombs with movies that actually make money and (much moreso) with money from the parks. But now they have no movies that actually make money. Even the few that don't bomb make only a relative pittance (even Avatar 2 made little for Disney after all the payouts). But now the parks are in rebuilding mode, having ro dump billions to modernize/expand/keep up with competitors, and none of that investment actually brings in more money to the parks, just allows them to tread water.
The competently made and entirely soulless Lion King “””live action””” (AKA photorealistic CGI) made 1.6 billion fucking dollars! Beauty and the Beast live action, which IIRC was a mostly straightforward adaptation with the vague implication that one minor character was a faggot made 1.26 billion. Literally all they have to do is be as greedy and soulless as possible and the money would print itself, but it seems they value virtue signaling over money.
Instead of making a live-action Little Mermaid at all, why not just - re-release the original in theaters? You know, like they did two and a half decades ago -
Speaking of soulless remakes, Tim Brayton put out his review of the Peter Pan one and this made me chuckle -
Tim said:
And the last of the Renaissance big four, Aladdin, also made $1 billion in spite of (because?) Will Smith in blueface as the genie. Live action Little Mermaid was about the most 'sure thing' as there ever was in the history of cinema.
this guy was always a faggot
the Little Mermaid thing is weird to me because the original story is public domain, if Africans remade Little Mermaid and made everyone black I dont think you could or should complain. however the Little Mermaid thing is another example of progressive Americans being arrogant on using European properties to bring some sort of racial justice to their culture. Like no, stuff trying to tell Europeans they dont have a culture you're just saying that to justify giving money to a billion dollar evil corporation. The other thing is animation fans will go see this movie despite the lead actress literally disparaging animation as a medium. Theyre idiots.
I'm still reeling at the idea that this woke bullshit is being funded by investment groups like Blackrock.
to be fair, that could be interesting going with the angle @Kari Kamiya mentioned and would also be inclusive. that's a "subverted expectation" twist I could go behind.
meanwhile:
I'll admit I loved the Smells like Teen Spirit part, but can't remember much else of that film.
You can at least have actual fun in Vegas.
