I'm sure someone will say it's "cultural appropriation" or some other such bullshit.

Plus, you'd have leftards and We Wuz Kangz dipshits protesting the movie for the protagonists being white. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look up the Black Athena Theory: it's a conspiritard theory that cultural Marxists unironically believe in, in which the ancient Greeks were really black and that they're whitewashed by racist colonial whites.

Blacks were also the real Jews, the real Egyptians, and literally every single famous person in history.

If they really are going to live action Hercules I highly doubt they’ll cut the muses; the woke crowd absolutely adore them.

The Muses are what hold the movie together, narratively and literally. You take them out, the movie will fall to its knees if not outright collapse. I think they'd only consider leaving the Muses out if the movie's not going to be a musical or just give them cameos, but that's literal suicide like how leaving out Shang Li was suicide for Mulan. The Muses are literally the best example of a Greek Chorus I've ever seen in a movie (Rango's Mariachi Owls were a fun Greek Chorus, too, and the Shadow Girls of Revolutionary Girl Utena were an interesting take), and nothing can ever top it.
 
Here's my dream cast for the live-action Hercules:

Hercules (young): Jaden Smith
Hercules (adult): Michael B. Jordan
Meg: Tessa Thompson
Phil: Alan Tudyk
Greek Chorus: Beyonce (Beyonce will play each member of the chorus)
Hades: Simon Pegg
Zeus: Samuel L. Jackson
 
I think the current Disney staff will "Rrrreeeee" a lot once they read that article.

Disney no longer sweetly entertains children; now it indoctrinates them
By Andrea Widburg
As is the case for most Americans living today, I grew up on Disney. I loved the classic princess movies, The Wonderful World of Disney, and the live-action movies of the 1960s and 1970s. When a local television channel syndicated The Mouseketeers in the late 1960s, I watched that too.
Some (indeed, a lot) of the Disney product was banal, but it never deviated from a certain purity: Be good, be kind, be patriotic (if that was relevant), work hard . . . that kind of stuff. The next generation of Disney movies also promoted that message, whether with classic princess movies (Beauty and the Beast) or a non-romantic “adventure with a friend” film such as Moana.
Moana’s earth goddess ending, though, hinted at what was to come with Frozen II, which was a visually beautiful, but tedious effort to introduce kids to anti-colonialism, man-deriding feminism, and Gaia worship. Watching that and thinking of the classic Disney movies, one has to wonder "Where on earth does this stuff come from?"
The answer is surprisingly easy: It comes from the current crop of Disney writers and producers, all of whom were marinated in hard-left college liberal arts programs.
This post offers two exhibits to prop up this assertion. The first is a cri de cœur from Itxu Díaz about the horrible changes wrought on Disney’s DuckTales. Díaz is Spanish, so the syntax is a little scrambled, but you’ll quickly get the gist about the push to take an entertaining character who always has an eye for the girls and turn him into a vehicle for pushing homosexuality on small children:
Donald, that charming children’s character, has been kidnapped by a company following a rigorous ideological program of liberal indoctrination, whose latest conquest has been to introduce in the new episodes of DuckTales two gay ducks who have adopted a little duck, whose sexual habits have not been revealed thus far.
[snip]
But there’s nothing idle about this portrayal. That’s not my opinion: It’s what Frank Angones, one of the people responsible for the series, says. In a dense article, with prose about as nimble a turtle wading in a pot of glue, Angones apologizes for the existence of a multitude of “heteronormative romances” — whatever that means — in the DuckTales story, and blames Scrooge, Donald, and Fenton for liking the gal ducks and not the guy ducks. This co-executive producer says, with certain contempt for his product’s own history, that “legacy characters” with values from Disney’s past have for some time weighed down the series’ sexual inclination. It seems he wants more representation for drakes attracted to drakes and hens to hens, albeit running the risk of upsetting environmentalist movements, since this could lead to anatidae becoming endangered species. In any case, I would love to see Donald’s face when Angones accuses him of being a retrograde and fascist for wanting to be with Daisy. Fortunately for him, he’s absolutely incomprehensible when he speaks, so it’s difficult to accuse him of being a homophobe. He’s a lucky ducky.

The second example is a Prager U video in which Ben Shapiro explains intersectionality, a terrible idea that was born on college campuses and that indoctrinated college graduates are carrying into corporate America. To illustrate the point, the video plays footage of a Disney writer discussing how important intersectionality is to her work and her messaging. I’ve transcribed the gist of it, but you have to watch this incoherent cultural Marxist speak to appreciate who’s teaching your children:

Nah, even fucking Peterson is too sane for some of the shit spewed in that article.

Between the accusations of promoting "Gaia worship" and "indoctrinating homosexuality", I think whomever wrote that is less of a Jordan Peterson wannabe and more of a Jack Chick wannabe who's mentioning Ben Shapiro and "cultural Marxism" as a "How do you do, fellow kids?" sort of thing.

My best guess is that the author of this article is probably a Boomer or early Gen X fundie relic.

So with the lockdown easing what's happening with Disney now?

I think Shanghai, one of the China parks, is already re-opened.

I think I heard Disney World in Florida is taking reservations for July but nothing official about the parks and hotels reopening, they're letting their "Disney Springs" shopping center open back up on the 20th, but that's mostly outside vendors renting the space from Disney rather than "really" cast members.

Dunno about California, Tokyo, or Paris.

I assume we'll have to see how things go these next few weeks?

Universal Orlando just announced they're opening CityWalk (their equivalent of Disney Springs) on Thursday, so I'm thinking we're gonna see them fully open sooner rather than later.

Yeah, but even in normal times theme parks are hotbeds of disease. Anyone remember there were measles outbreaks at Disneyland a few years ago?...

So it'll probably be about another month before they reopen, and who knows what it's going to look like then.
 
Masks are likely going to be required in all of the parks, or so Iger says. Tbh I'm starting to see mask requirements as more of a psychological thing that businesses are using to try to convince people that it's safe to go to them. Especially since a lot of people don't wear/use masks properly. I do wonder how the park aficionados will take this since they're a spergy bunch.

As far as California goes, LA county just extended the shelter in place order to July. Disneyland isn't in LA County but I doubt it'll open before then.
