Live Action Little Mermaid

Lin-Manuel Miranda is a menace to society. I haven't enjoyed anything he's composed at all outside of Hamilton, and that's increasingly making me think I just got suckered into the local groupthink about that specific musical. Even general music media is shitting on it for being cringe.

Hamilton: the musical that makes people think "history is cool" when they really think "Hamilton is cool".

And they're wrong about both.

I can't believe that after 2016, the idea of race/gender swapping hasn't been treated as BS by the general public a whole lot sooner.

It's not that I give a shit about a black mermaid, but I think the conversation surrounding it is preposterous.

The one that gets me is the adults who sit there all "my little girl gets her own mermaid now!"

Your little girl needs you to be a better parent if you think she somehow needs her own fucking mermaid, in the sense that if a black mermaid weren't even on the table, you wouldn't have cared either way. But since there IS one, and it's somehow important to you, it's because you're a shit parent that needs to direct your kid away from the TV.

Also if you think your little girl only deserves white story hand me downs where she replaces a protagonist that's based on white European folklore.

If i were black I'd be insulted, Disney a should find some cool African/Caribbean folk stories and turn them into movies for proper representation

It's not about creating new stories. It's about destroying European culture.

The sisters are not vying for a singing competition its about leadership of the kingdom.

For a horrifying moment I thought you meant the singing competition was to determine who would lead.

Why on Earth not? Aside from seagulls being flying plague pits that never stop eating and all the cgi in the world could not change that.

People who were watching the site said 2500 reviews were deleted in one day.

You really think they are going to be playing by the rules?

The beauty of that is it is actually amusing to see them do that because when even their normal bastions of support are going "it's alright at best" that 95% makes more people realises that the rating on Rotton Tomato are bought and paid for.
 
I got a good chuckle out of this

I recall in the days of Burger King Kids Club diversity there was a big push of random kids books of folk tales like "Beraja, The Hummingbird Who Learned To Give" or whatever hippy shit.

Is it true that rotten tomatoes audience score is freaking 95!!! I have given up on humanity at this point. Like holy hell considering how many people I know who didn't like base of the teaser alone

They have two versions of audience score. They have a curated "verified" version that they use to lie about quality; this is the one they show by default to pull lies on par with Russian Agitprop. Then there's the actual full audience score which is like at 49% or something give or take how many thousands of reviews they delete to force a lie for the owner's corporate friends.

They do the same thing for critics and usually forcibly show the better result whenever you are dumb enough to treat RT like a real review site and look at it, making their brand completely goddamn worthless.

It doesn't even sound like he tried, Awkwafina does the same shit-tastic trap triplet flow that every rapper's been doing for like a decade now. Shit's old. Find something more creative.

He's a hack, and a terrible singer.
I know he composed some shit for Star Wars, and I can't remember what it was. He sucks.

don't forget how the rise of skywalker is magically stuck at 86% audience score, just days after the movie came out.

RT is disney's little onahole, always was.

Movie looks like it won't break even, did good in America but flopped over seas especially in Asia. Had it not had a crazy $250 million budget could have broke even or turned a small profit but no way it will make the $600 to $700 million to break even, right now a question if it can even pass $500 million at the box office.

Do wonder what Disney will do with this flop, will they ride it out with the planned movies hoping they do better, will they try to control the crazy budgets or will they shit can everything not already shooting.
