She's a POC there's noway they'll make her unrepentant evil cause int he enternal current year that's racism!
I would love to see a full-throated, fully intentional pro-Fascism movie for all the whining people do about milquetoast movies being secretly turbo-Fascist. Would their heads pop from anger or would they salivate over it like starving dogs?
Extra hilarious that the Meercats are Jews especially with the recent Tunnel Chabad Kikes in NYC.
Like you can have a well intentioned sympathetic villain, the issue with a lot of modern animated films is that they try to use the sympathy as a "get out of jail free" card for doing the most heinous shit imaginable.
I think the fault lies more with the media-illiterate goons going to watch the films than the films themselves (usually).
It depends on the ad campaign they do for it, since it is a gamble if these things make profits, but hopefully it bombs.
I'm pretty sure a guy named Timothy back in 1995 on usenet noticed the same thing. It's a rather stale take.
It's a kids film remake of something popular 23 years ago they're obviously going to love it. If you were a kid then you have kids now. Disney can shit on a plate and as long as they don't piss off parents with woke nonsense then it will make money
My main issue with the attempts at sympathetic villains is that Disney just can't give them charisma or make them funny.
"I am literally just evil and got charisma and I know it" is 90% of all cult leaders. However, it's much easier to write some figure that got abused as a kid who didn't grow up to be charismatic but "Uhh secret super powerful.... n shit" to be a misunderstood villain instead.
The public reaction to this particular remake seems to be "is this really necessary?" so I'm hopeful for a box office bomb too.
But hyenas are native to the land so they aren't really foreign army. And are close enough for two kids to stumble to their area. You can argue it's more like Scar got Niggers and crackheads into power with predictable result. It's more pro aristocracy/monarchy since their the betters who deserve to be in power.
Not in the context of the movie, when Simba looks over to the desert and asks his dad "what about that place" Mufasa replies "that's not ours, don't go there." The Hyenas might be Africans, but they're not Pride Landers.
That is true, but I would argue there can be multiple layers of subtext in a story. I'm probably wrong anyway and it's all likely just a huge coincidence, and coincidences don't make for authorial intent.
Not really. Scar is in power, and he’s an aristocrat. I’d argue it’s a metaphor for the modern day, where whites, asians, and normal blacks and hispanics being kept down by the ruling class purposely allowing niggers and illegals to run rampant.
Yes the modern movies like Wish, the villain King Magnifico was actually the Hero, who was a wise and just Philosopher King.
Already forgot about that despite it really sticking out to me at the time.
