They should stop re-imagining everything and just write their own new story
This is the correct answer.
Yes. They should create new classics for the future, not ruining our classics.
Yup alienates a lot of original fans and for example just changing the color of someone doesn't suddenly make them relatable to that race, its lazy
Or maybe... just maybe... if they do re-imagine a story.... oh idk...
Tell the same f*ing story
Yes 100% agree with you but Hollywood is Hollywood
A world where Gal Gadot would be jealous over Zegler's beauty is an even bigger fantasy than Snow White.
I always thought its more about the good hearted behavior that is truly beautiful in the story but yea I agree
Snow Woke.
😌
🙏📿
Gets worse... Gal Gadot gets jealous because Rachel Zegler is a "fairer leader"
@@Ladywizard That whole thing is hilarious, so now apparently the character wants to murder an innocent girl for being a "fairer leader". Like, she would be proving the mirror right in saying somebody else is more "fair". Anybody who is not willing to murder innocent people out of jealousy would be more "fair". Imagine her being sussesful in murdering the girl, then she goes to the mirror asking who is the fairest of them all and then the mirror would then just be saying the next murder target until she's the only one left alive.
But Rachel Zegler dont need no man
Time line:
1. They removed the seven dwarves because being dwarf is offensive
2. They promised to change the 7 dwarves into 7 magical creatures
3.they got roasted, so they promised to change the 7 magical creatures into 7 bandits
4. They got roasted again so now they promised to bring back the 7 dwarves, but instead of re-hiring the actors they had fired, they're making the dwarves in CGI, which got them roasted again
All of that just to have nobody buy a ticket to the movie. Peak efficiency
Hollywood needs to Purge the Political and actually bring back Creatives and Skilled Professionals. Meritocracy over Nepotism.
Worst part is Gal Gadot is supposed to act envious of her being the fairest one of all. Even for a fairy tale, thats unbelievable.
"Magic Mirror on the wall, who is fairest of them all?"
"You are"
The End.
Touché D’artagnan
I mean you don't get much better looking than wonder woman lol.
Can't argue with that xD
@@ass4sale2 Gadot is def pretty but she's got a nice personality to go with it too.
It's not even racist. It's the one character that specifically has pale skin. Her name literally refers to her skin color. Like I don't understand how you can mental gymnastics your way out of that.
In the original Disney adaptation her skin color wasn‘t really snow white either.
@@maxmensch8910 That's literally what it's referencing. Skin as white as snow. Don't comment nonsense if you don't know what you're talking about.
@@KarenTookTheKids364 Sure. I am just saying that in the Disney original the skin color wasn't "white as snow".
@@maxmensch8910 Well sure, but it's like a metaphor. Black hair is really just a very dark shade of brown but we still say that someone has 'raven black hair'.
@@megadesu69 So she isn't really white as snow. Why the fake outrage then?
“Writers need to stop writing about their own insecurities into these stories that end up being therapy instead of entertainment”
Asmon literally nails it one sentence.
There's no way so many writers are insecure. Most are simply following the ideology they're told to follow.
So many production studios in Hollywood have forgotten the entire point of entertainment which is to provide the audience with an "experience" which means looking beyond your own feelings and looking at what the audience actually wants. When making a film studios should be asking themselves how do I get the best reaction from the audience as possible with the resources available? What makes people happy? What makes people sad and or angry? What do people consider generally appealing? What are people afraid of? How do I get the audience to love a character? How do I turn a scene into an unforgettable experience? and so much more. Hollywood has become so shallow
Youd be surprised. Most are coming from colleges where they are told they MUST be victims @Nethan2000
That's ALL of feminism tho....
@@Nethan2000 yes there is way for them all to have insecurities, wtf kind of question is that?
You think most writers DON'T have insecurities? I bet most people in general has them.
The witch hates Snow White because she’s more beautiful than her. Kind of creates a discrepancy when the witch in the remake is better looking than Snow White lol
You can’t beat Gal Gadot. That woman is so fine.
@@LegendsOfSushishould have swapped roles tbh
I wouldn't be surprised if they talked about this as well. They want to invert all of the themes.
I thought it was more about the point that the queen was obsessed with beauty and being the fairest, so the point that snow white is not even as beautiful as the queen is fitting to me, its not about her beauty but about the queens madness.
@@phillmoore1561 Its not about inverting just the themes, but inverting morals and values and twisting it from the good hero/heroine's perspective to that of the evil villain.
"the witch in the remake is better looking than Snow White" - that is the evil witch's perspective that is being told
Peter Dinklage has set dwarf actors back years. He made sure he got his and then he kicked the ladder out behind him so other dwarf actors couldn't play parts literally designed for them.
It’s genius on his part. He’ll be remembered as the most popular dwarf - probably his end goal
@@emptysoul2757Okay trump. The horrible actions of others shouldn't be celebrated just because it makes sense from the simplest, most greedy and self-serving reaches of our brain.
But didn‘t he play a character with Achondroplasia in GoT and not a dwarf?
The actor who played Gimli portrayed a convincing dwarf but he is normal sized.
He has really come across as the worst from this situation. The fact anybody listened to him without critically evaluating the consequences is also baffling. Across the board the film and TV industry has managed to make themselves look like idiots with their superficial takes and nonsense. You only have to remember the “Imagine” inspirational video to realise how nauseating and out of touch with reality the thespians/ industry insiders really are.
The ladder part was because they couldn't reach wasn't it? They're so cute.
as a girl with basically vampire pale, almost translucent skin (i only get a bit of freckles or if i try hard enough i just burn, i have never gotten a tan) and naturally very dark, almost black straight hair, finding people in media who "represent me" is basically impossible exept for exeptions like snow white. i cant find people who look like me even if i try to google in 15 different ways. I cant even make an AI image maker make anything close to what i look like because it just doesnt understand that his combination o black and white exists and when it exists its never portrayed as someting beautiful.
BUT... My mom always calls me "my own little snow white" and that always makes me feel beautiful.. Why cant people just write new stuff istead of remaking old, beloved material into something completely different just to suit their agenda.
Oh and turns out noone actually cares about representing people who might not be considered the western ideal of beauty. They don't care about underrepresented people. They only care about money and pandering to the people who yell the loudest.
When was the last time you saw some main character being remade to a ginger? Doesn't really happen does it? Even though a lot of gingers are bashed constantly their whole lives for looking weird. I bet a lot of us know at least one ginger that was bullied in school growing up and the bullying never really stops.
I'm from Sweden so most of my classmates where white but we had black, brown and asian kids too and everyone loved them while the ginger kids were seen as freaks.
My dad is a ginger (hence why my skin is so pale and i have some freckles) and he got bullied for being ginger even though he was otherwise very handsome growing up but people still thought he was a freak.
I mean seriously, just the fact that so many characters who were originally gingers are now being remade into black or brown characters i think kind of proves my point. It's not about representing a minority it's about following trends, being seen as woke and making money off of dumb, middle age, liberal, white moms who get cozy feelings in their stomach when they watch something that make them feel like they are a good person for watching "an ethnic woman girl-bossing".
I won't be watcing any shitty remakes. If they want to make new movies/shows with only characters who are brown, black, latino, asian or whatever and the characters and story are well written then i'd be super excited and I would for sure watch it and I bet a looot of people would rather have original unique characters to experience than to have characters they already know and love being remade into something completely different just because its easier to get eyes on it that way.
About the ginger comment. I have never encountered ginger before as I mainly grew up in SEA, but let me tell you for the fact that seeing a ginger in real life feels like almost seeing a forest elf in your dreams. Something about them feels enchanting to look at that I perceive them to be almost uniquely beautiful. Finding out that a lot of people hate gingers are baffling to me. If anything I just find it rude and feels like they're just trying to express their insecurities.
In movies, it's still sad and even frustrating that Hollywood still has the same mindset on anyone that does not follow the western beauty as unattractive. So whenever a ginger, a redhead, or anyone that does not look like your common blonde Starbucks girl, it feels eye catching and stands out from other actors in a good way.
Just google Eva Green.
@@blazingstorm9351 hating gingers is just a school thing its all bullshit xD
Watch the movie Powder 😅😅
i look the same too
Being the leader her father knew she could be ? She survived abuse, went into the forest alone, escaped an assassin, found 7 dudes and made their home hers…she didn’t need to change anything.
No one seemed to have a problem when they altered the lore for snow white and the huntsman. At the same time though, that made no attempt to claim it was a live action adaptation of the original. You can change the lore all you want, just dont sell it as a remake of the original. I mean, we literally live in a world where "Abe Lincoln vampire hunter" is a real thing.
Heck, Jesus Christ vampire hunter is a thing even
red blood hood, pride and prejudice with zombies??
Totes!
Oh, I have totally forgotten about Lincoln vampire movie. I actually went to see it in cinema, and had fun with it. It really proves that it is all about the presentation - I never expected that movie to be amazing, but I got in the cinema exactly what I was promised and I was happy with it.
And both are awesome movies 🍿
Its not racist to prefer canon.
It is racists to race swap for the specific purpose of race swapping. The characters name is Snow White. This is blatant racism.
she's called Snow White because her skin was white as snow
Can't wait till they change the race of African Princesses in African Fairytales, got to get something "Fresh"
yeah pale skin to be exact
Cleopatra was black! - Random Grandma.
they could have went Asian for fair skin and under-represented film actor diversity
They should've hired an albino 💀
As a woman, the thing that I would wish for instead of all this girl boss nonsense that’s just the other side of toxic, is that they would just make movies that show healthy character dynamics and relationships (both platonic and romantic). Why is that so hard? Why can’t it be waiting for true love and then it’s a loving and respectful relationship for both partners? Why is it always one needs to dominate the other rather than coexisting and supporting each other’s strengths and weaknesses?
Small addendum:
True love and personal aspirations are not mutually exclusive, ideally they enhance one another.
Healthy is however the participants in that relationship feel comfortable with each other and themselves. People like taking on different roles in relationships and that can express itself in a billion different ways. Dominance is not inherently bad (some people want or need it for different reasons and that’s okay), the important thing is that everyone still has equal rights within the relationship and set boundaries are respected.
Somehow a respectful relationship on eye level just isn't enough, or something. I feel like a lot of people can probably relate when I say that for instance protection is something in a relationship that's both great to give and to receive. But at the same time it should be completely acceptable if someone would rather feel more protected than protecting or the other way around. Media fails to see that in order for people to understand your message the first thing you need to do is give them the space they need to feel like their own beliefs aren't just simply disregarded entirely.
the point is to make peasants fight each other instead of fighting the nobles
I like powerful women in movies, but I don't like how Hollywood does it. Women can aspire for things other than relationships... but there's nothing wrong with normal healthy relationships either. I don't know why Hollywood seems to have trouble with these concepts. Arcane does it well. Vasquez from aliens does it well. Why do I have to see shit like Captain Marvel or Snow White who take what I like and twist it into something everyone hates.
Addams Family (Gomez and Morticia) is still one of the best depictions of a relationship; one based on mutual love and respect. It's my go to show and movie when I want to see a happy couple.
@@candykit5382 If Alien or Aliens was made today. People would call it „woke“.
The problem with woke media is that it's not art; it's a form of political activism.
They're not writing stories, they're writing elaborate metaphorical political values they're instructing others to adopt.
It's because the people that were on reddit and tumblr are now in the work force. They're generally "creatives" that have been sheltered from real life events to the point they can no longer identify with the average person and hates them (which is why you see a constant attempt of becoming the victim).
Due to that disconnect the writers become a lot more narcissistic as they care less about the average person and turn their thoughts to themselves (which is why it's plagued with mary sue characters; as the political meta-narrative is more important than the actual narrative and they see themselves as political heroes in their heads). They've tried these things before though, and the stories don't do well at all.
So why do they keep getting hired if the story sucks? Because to get the money to do this sort of thing you need to have the right connections and that means social networking. If it's big movies like this, that means social networking in American celebrity culture; where virtue signalling is strong. So they end up getting picked by skill scouts because of how they liked the person over the quality of their work (a tale as old as time) and they were ticking the right boxes for what's ok for what they think their target audience is.
This is also why we're in an age of refurbishing old stories diluting them with today's pop culture and reimagining them as something else. The stories suck, and they know this; but if they put a well known name with a pre-established fanbase then they don't have to build a fanbase from nothing. Some fanbases are also desperate for new material that it makes sense; throw money into the development and the quality will look good so that should work, right?
Then we get to the other problem the writers have; the WHY they're making a movie. The best writers are story tellers who are making an enjoyable story. These writers aren't story tellers, the story isn't important to them. What's important to them is the pat on the back for being politically correct and showing their intelligence. They don't care what the story says; they care what others think about them as individuals and the movie is simply a way of explaining how they're great people for the things they hate.
So we have a system that encourages insularity, rewards narcissism and wrongly predicts audience size based on intensity of talking points that the writers themselves care about.
They're narcissists though, it's all about them rather than about the pop culture virtue signal they're attempting. Which is why there's also so many token characters now, although they've attempted to reframe this as divesity hiring when it's really just "Yeah, have one of them be there, that will send a strong political message that i'm right and not whatever-ist".
The part I have a problem with is when they're taking other peoples cultures and attempting to "re-imagine history and cultures" (re-write) when they've no interest in what it was. They don't like the things that they're doing, so they change them into something they do like; something about themselves.
I have as much problem with Snow White as I do with the Netflix Cleopatra "documentry". It's cultural appropriation of a European myth. The characters name is in reference to her skin (not race, this myth was before race was a widely known or used concept) because it was as white as snow. Their purpose isn't to bring life into an old myth; it's to destory the parts it doesn't like and replace it with something they like. It's a bastardisation of the original and it's done deliberately because they can't make something good so they need to destroy and shit on someone else. These aren't story writers; they're critics. You ever tried a very loudmouthed food critics own cooking? They always overindulge in one partiicular ingredient because they themselves like it. With this Snow White adaptation, the problem they seem to have had is that the lead was white.
As Tolkein said: "Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
We're in a strange point where political activists dressed as writers are removing parts of our collective modern mythology that they don't like. So far those parts have been men, white people (very popular to do with redhead characters, might have to do with the paleness), maturity, stoicism, competent foes and hope. They promote behaviours that were originally found in villians; violence, emotional immaturity, revenge seeking, racist (reverse-racism if you're the type to believe racism is something that should be socially acceptable by how you've chosen to segregate the races based on inherent value...), sexist, cruel, smug, condescending, lacking empathy or showing only emulated empathy and a lack of self-accountability.
It's failing because the quality is shite. It's shite because it's as shallow as the person writing it.
The big wigs who make the actual money from these things don't care about this shit because that's just business to them. Sell product get cash, whether product is sexist or racist etc doesn't matter so long as people are buying product. What they're attempting to do is turn movies into a similar proposition as tipping culture is in the US; cultural norm to do it from guilt of being outed as racist because they wanted to save/make money. You didn't tip? Our servers survive on your tips. You didn't like Balck Panther? You must be racist.
Your point on Idris Elba playing Heimdall. You hit it on the head. He was good because he was good, he wasn't good because he was black. Just as we don't give shit to Morgan Freeman for playing a tiny ginger Irish guy in Shawshank Redemption; because the quality speaks for itself. What you're seeing there is the difference between what's good for the story and what's tokenism.
Problem with the dwarves is that they're not actually dwarves. As in they are a race of dwarves from European mythology; they're not people with dwarfism. Just as the Orcs in WoW aren't black people...
TLDR:
It's never been about making good movies for them, it's only about affirmation of their own ideologies and opinions, talking down to anyone who they think is beneath them, and "staying on the right side of history." They're in a massive, politically correct, narcissistic circle jerk, and they've infested Hollywood and Western pop culture like a cancer.
I would also want to add, that since the extension of copyright is the creators life plus 70 years that means that things like star wars or any properties they mistreat can’t even be challenged with the public domain fanworks so if you want star wars media (good or otherwise) but don’t want to give money to disney then it’s quite hard to do, so this stuff can remain unchallenged for as long as we live.
I care less about snow white and more about how they made the 7 dwarves the "7 people." I think the dwarven race in most fantasy is badass, but in snow white in particular they are most of the charm. It's like getting rid of Timon and pumba from the lion king. Idk if a lot of actual little people truly find it offensive, but I personally think it's a disservice to movie/fantasy lovers to demonize those roles. Why don't we just call it snow white and 7 liberals at this point, I mean really you don't need to alter every freaking story to fit a narrative.
It’s cuz of the guy from GoT. He apparently pitched a fit that it would be offensive to cast dwarves in a Snow White revival, and is big on pushing the narrative that little ppl should only be cast in roles that don’t have anything to do with their size. Which is hugely ironic considering his fame is from playing a character who’s whole storyline is based on being a midget. Brad Williams talked about it on a podcast, and basically said the majority of the little ppl community hates that guy and they’d of been thrilled to get a role in Snow White.
@@mrs.h2725 oh yeah, I've heard of that, and ironically peter dinklage plays Tyrion Lannister and don't forget is role in elf. Of course, he made his money and fame and now wants to ban other little people from the same. He of all people should understand people with his condition should take advantage of any opportunity in life they can get. Also, even though peter is a deutsch Tyrion is one of my favorite characters from Got. So once again people like dwarf roles, and there's nothing to be ashamed about for those actors.
Why is the term “dwarf” even considered offensive again? All of a sudden we, as a society collectively decided that the term dwarf is offensive so we’re all going to start saying “little people” instead and honestly I just don’t get why?
Also, I hate the term “little people” it sounds condescending and it always felt like something some old Irish guy came up with as he told stories about “the fae” or “the wee folk”.
@@anthony3191excellent point. Seems like he doesn’t want to possibly get overshadowed (no pun intended)
@@mrs.h2725why does his opinion matter more that all the other dwarf actors?
I like how the person with dwarfism says its not a problem, but the person who clearly doesn't says it is because its not politically correct.
This sums the whole woke subculture up perfectly

One thing about Nick Fury, they actually race-swapped the character in the comics first. When Marvel created a new universe called "Ultimate Marvel," the artist (I believe it was Bryan Hitch) based his version of Nick Fury specifically on Samuel L. Jackson. They probably would not have cast a black actor to play that part otherwise. The Marvel race swaps only started in the "Phase Four" Marvel Universe, when no one cared any more.
Jackson didn't take pay for them to use his likeness. He asked to play the character if they ever made the movie.
I think even better analogy with cookies is that after buying chocolate chip cookies you open the box and there are raisin cookies with a note that chocolate is bad for your health, so they changed the recipe
I was thinking the same thing. It's the specific ingredients being changed, that really matter. That said, if I open up the box and get chocolate chip oatmeal cookies... well, that's a nice little surprise. I'm still essentially getting what I wanted, and it may even end up being a little better than what I was expecting.

Do companies like Disney not do surveys of changes like this on test audiences anymore? I feel like the moment they say "no more dwarves in Snow White," 90% of people familiar with Disney movies are going to say "What? No dwarves?"
Is there actually a movement to remove dwarfs, gnomes, halflings from fantasy stuff? Where is this coming from?
ESG. BlackRock. Vanguard. WEF. Investors and organizations like that are Disney's customers now, not us.
They probably do, but in those surveys most of the people are leftists.
And about dwarfs, it all started because Peter Dinklage made a statement that "in our current society dwarfs still being casted to play the roles of small characters and it's not progressive enough", so he basically screwed over six people who were gonna get a shot in a big movie, while he himself made a bank on playing that dwarf from GoT who's whole story relies on that he is a dwarf. But hey, maybe he saved those six people from starring in a complete disaster of a movie.
the root issue is actually much wider, these CEOs are just doing what the shareholders want. Who are the majority shareholders in every single media company? 2 large investment firms BlackRock and Vanguard and these are controlled by the government through something called ESG investing. ESG is something invented by UN which is a government regulation basically to "score" the companies based on their idea of value. So basically what is happening is that government through investment companies like Blackrock and Vanguard is in charge of corporations and they are pushing leftism and wokeness on the corporations. They don't actually survey their customers, rather do what the suits in the UN tell them to do. You can wrap it all up in one word - socialism.
Nope. Its actually puzzling how modern companies like Disney began listening to former tumblr loonies (now Twitter denizens) when Twitter accounts for less than 2% of public opinion.
Its why ESG investments and all the theories behind them hold weight. Companies, even modern ones, have been known to employ slave labor so BS about companies gaining morals and ethics is thrown in the garbage. Its clear they were getting funded by a source to change or enslave society in a way they see fit and now people are not just getting jaded, they've actively turning hostile against initiatives like this. Otherwise, this DEI wokeshit would have gone out the door, its unbelievable that companies would continue to seek shit that damages their profits like this for just "social change". They were getting paid and now that they're losing money in this initiatives, the tide turns. But whenever the tide turns its always stopped. I literally have zero hope that things will ever go back to the way they used to be, and yet its the only thing I can actually hope for.
its after the movie is made.
Coke did it in 1985 with "NEW COKE" remember?!!!

Your right, but it also involves taking any criticism you have and twisting the story to make you into the bad guy, oh your sexist, racist, transphobic, misogynistic, an incel, etc. Because these people only like free speech when it supports them, but hate it when it's against them, so they'll turn the rise in cancel culture into a weapon to use against anyone who disagrees. Oh you liked the original snow white? This isn't the 1930s anymore, implying anyone who liked it is racist, as well as anyone who doesn't like the changes they're making. Media with agendas and endorsements from people with money n the same agenda is nothing but a scourge on our society, I hope one day people will get tired of it 🙏 i know i am

No better way to pay homage than taking a steamy dump on the source material and retrofitting a story entirely with girl boss

@Nyakomata because we don't want anything to do with pandering it's pathetic
@@Nyakomatait is a European folk (fairy) tale, currently the only type of folk/fairy tales where it is OK to swap out the race of the main characters.

Why is it not OK to have Mulan be Scandinavian or Hatian but it is perfectly fine to have Snow White be Latino?
This is objectively a double standard.
People try to protect their folk tales because they are literally an important part of their culture. Folk tales reflect the deepest aspects of the culture that produce them.
That is why people get upset with things like this, it is an attack on their culture.
@@Nyakomatabecause it’s ridiculous. The constant pandering to wokeness is growing tiresome. It’s also a slap in the face to the creators

Saying "Its snow white, not snow latina" isnt racist at all, its literally stating a fact.
These people are painfully close-minded and thats the problem. They will never change their own stance on what they think something should or should not be, refusing to listen to any backlash whatsoever and saying these people are just supporting "insert -ism/-phobia". They'll think that they know how to make something perfect into something better just because they're working on it.

I never thought of woke media having insecurities but your right, they change things that are so unnecessary which basically proves the insecurities these people have behind set or even on screen, comparing this generation to the past
It's called ESG but our boy just can't accept it. Maybe it has something to do with night media 🤔
im not really one for judging by appearances, but i do have to say that when i imagine someone who's "woke" i dont often imagine someone considered traditionally attractive. I usually think of someone who maybe has dyed hair, might be overweight, have tattoos, facial piercings etc. Ofc not all of them look like that, but the loudest shoutiest voices tend to be in that crowd. So there might be something of an insecurity or jealousy towards the media theyre adapting.
Heck even just typing "woke girl" in google images doesnt paint a pretty picture.
I'll just say this a generation ago (I'm a bit older than most of Asmon's fans) having characters of another race or non males in leading roles was something that didn't happen much for social reasons. So for young people to say it's about "insecurities" as opposed to a changing society is dumb to me.
@@declancampbell1277 A lot of these youtube dude bros are the reason for this. Look at their channels, they still use like the same 3 pictures from like 15 years ago even when the topic has nothing to do with those people and any links are questionable at best.
@@declancampbell1277 I'm not really judging on the attractiveness (although we can involve that) but basically trying to modernise everything without appreciating things that are traditional cause back then things don't apply to this generation. I do think having a bit of balance between modern and traditional is good
People can live how they want, but don't inject how you think everyone should live into remakes of PAST art. It really is that simple.
I'm a woman and even i'm sick and tired of "girl boss" themes. I used to work and live by myself but after meeting my husband with we decided it was best for our daughter that I stay home and take care of the house, yard, cooking, and baby while my he goes to work and brings home the money and has time to relax and play games in the evening without worrying about any house chores or food :) too many women have no idea just how great life can be when they get off their high horse
I LOVE the absolute irony of Asmon using the term "Unwashed Masses"
Well, it's like his take on AdBlock. He believes it's bad, but that's not gonna stop him from using it lol
I see no irony as he probably includes himself in those masses :)
Why do we live in a world where the customer is being targeted and served something they don't want but are told to like?
Because Capitalism is the arch enemy of Fascism and Socialism and have no intend to enslave the mass to bend to their will lol
Amazon did this crap with the Aiel in the 'Wheel of Time' show. The Aiel are supposed to be 100% "white" with like 98% of them being not just "white" but natural blondes and redheads with variations of bright blue or bright green eyes. What Amazon gave us was a show in which the Aiel are a very "diverse" group...
I've read the series and always envisioned them as a mix between Native American and Irish in terms of characteristics, though I've never looked up official iterations. They were however, very clearly stated a homogenous and distinct looking group in the books.
Same with Witcher and the dryad. They're literally made to be Africans with spears
But how does that impact the story? I think that's the problem, most of the time people get upset over details that don't impact the overall story.
@@peterc2672It affects immersion greatly though
You can't describe something one way and then portray it the opposite way
I mean, you can, but you need a decent reason for that, otherwise nobody would like it
@@antares3030 you 100% can because you're taking in the entertainment in two different mediums. Again, if it has little to nothing to do with the actual story it has no impact if changed.
See... not every story needs to be about a girl boss. Or a powerful man. Stories can be about girlish girls who hope they'll meet a charming prince. They can be about a down-on-his-luck office worker who is tired of life. Not everything is winning or leading or succeeding. And if you say "but we don't want to tell the classic Snow White story all over again" then there's your answer. DON'T.
I think the biggest mistake people make is the idea that a woman can't be strong and loving at the same time.
The other mistake is where they think being a strong woman means you should not depend on another, least of all a man.
For me strong means you're also in touch with your emotions, your heart and that you are not afraid to ask for help or depend on someone else..
We usually point to men as being strong and not in touch with their emotions, but behind every men is also a woman he depends on..
For who he will go beyond what he is capable of,
And to who he will open up his biggest insecurities and vulnerabilties..
So why can't we write characters that are strong in their convictions and their fight to make 'good' win,
but also write them strong in how they show it's a good thing to love one another, and to depend on eachother as they fight the evil that attacks life and love..
Imo, Without love, dependance and fighting together for eachother, we might aswell stop living in a society..
Regardless if you're a man or woman.. strong or weak..
We need eachother, and the differences between people make that a beautiful thing.
I don't remember much about Howl's Moving Castle but that's about the kind of femininely-strong protagonist I'd rather watch infinitely more times

@@tefan97 The problem is people see that and claim it's woke. I brought up the Mario movie.

Thanks Asmon for speaking up about those things with your audience, you have a great reach among the gaming community and kids and it's remarkable that you talk about such topics with such clarity and mindfulness. Two decades of social media and the consecutive bubblified polarization of opinions really put our society in the deepest of the shits.
Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury was based on the Ultimate Universe version of the character who, when originally created, was drawn to look like Jackson.
The original Fury is better.
Bro that's not Nick furry. He went from saving his team and getting his eye injured from Catching a nade, to getting his eye scratched by a fucking god dam cat. The entire character is dumb now and pointless. Literal Janitor now.
Like Objectively it was horrible period. Sure, old MCU nick furry was good, but it WASN'T nick furry. It was just Sam Jackson playing Sam Jackson, Witch I love him but he's not Nick Furry man. like at all.
it even says in a discussion between characters in the comic that he should be played by Samual L Jackson if they made a movie about him LOL
Did anyone else notice that the RomCom genre has literally gone extinct. The Teen movie has gone extinct. The parody Genre has gone extinct. The box office now is nothing but Marvel, Dc, Adaptation or Remake. That’s it. Oh no wait, we got The Creator, the first original Sci fi in almost a decade and it bombed smh.
Looked it up, first movie was not “birth of a nation”
The problem is not even them self inserting, projecting and making "power fantasy" movies...
The problem is the hi-jacking nature of it, why not make their own stories? their own scripts, their own original movies??? why must they take stories that people like and change it in order to fit their views, then they force US to watch it, and we can't have our own opinion, if it's sucks, it SUCKS, but they want us to praise it and if we don't, it's because we are biased and prejudiced???
If the movies were actually good, majority would say it is good BESIDES the bs views, but they throw a horrible movie at us, and if we don't like it, it's never because of their own incompetency, it's always because of white supremacy and evil patriarchy, no wonder every single movie sucks, because they don't care about doing something good, everyone around them is always praising them because of what they "are" instead of what they "do".

Love the good actor take. It makes so much sense that people traditionally just want good actors and stories.
Ive always hated race swaps. Also the other way around. Like really, a story about the ancient Egyptians and you cannot cast a single actor from that region. It irks me.

They reuse old characters and stories because these cover artist writers/directors cant create a new character for minorities that will sell big. It also helps them fill seats and sell tickets easier by using the old success. Then the old fanbase that made it famous show up expecting the old story but they completely rewrite the story nowadays. Sometimes it even becomes a different story with a different meaning or main characters. And when people don't like it, the studios point the blame at the public instead of accepting that they got caught trying to steal someone else's work

I’ll buy into their beliefs when they can show me an original good story. Until then, Tolkien remains correct when he said the hateful and evil cannot create, only destroy. She says “we wrote” it’s like no you silly billy, you stole someone’s else’s story and then tweaked the parts you didn’t like. That’s not art.

I think the biggest problem with "woke media" isn't necessarily that they'r overcompensating, but rather that they try to put down these classic stories as being bad.
Like, if they wanna make a badass main character, they can just write a whole new story that includes a strong character. They don't need to change old stories just because they view them as lesser than.
(And about that snowhite costume, I think the outfit looks ok but damn the hair looks so bad, It's so shiny you'd think It's made of plastic)
I always saw them remaking old stories as just being lazy/cost efficient. Not only can you ride the success of a previous masterpiece for publicity, but you can also save millions of dollars and months/years of creative writing. It's also happening a lot more recently in the video game space, where previously beloved games are getting unneeded remasters or even sequels with the exact same name as previous entries in the series, MW3 for example.
They need to remake old stories, just look at what happened with the Velma series. People have 0 interest in watching their garbage, so re-making something will bring a larger audience. They can't write something themselves because they are incredibly bad at their jobs.
@@samgraffen9212 Oh, It's 100% laziness and trying to make a cash grab off of old material.
The difference between games and movies however is that, for games, they try to come up with the excuse that they'r "keeping the memory of the original alive" or what not, but for these movie remakes, it feels like they'r basically calling the original a "mistake" and that their new version is "fixing it". Which, who the heck told them it needed fixing to begin with?
@@TheNPC_ Let's not mention the Velma one please, I've finally succeeded in erasing it from my brain and now I just pretend it doesn't exist :')
This has been noted before but all of Disney's movies that were based on old tales did this. Aladdin was Chinese in the original story.
I'd change the word "replace" for the case of Heimdall and Nick Fury to "played" because those characters were not "replaced" they were played by those actors and those actors did a good job playing the characters
these woke adaptations seek to "replace" classic, traditional, and cultural stories with a echoing message that "Replaces" the fairy tale.
The Little Mermaid was an achievement for casting someone in the lead role who displays multiple physical features of someone suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome, which I think we can all agree is underrepresented.

The reason for the remakes is due to the copyrights for the Disney animated stories is expiring. Whether or not the remake is a success it gives them substantial grounds to go after anyone using the originals.
That doesn't work. The reason for the remakes is because Beauty & the Beast and The Lion King each made a billion dollars. And for all the whining about "woke" in these comments, Barbie also made a billion dollars.
Is that how copyright law works? Can you explain further?
@@michaelc657The successful live action remakes weren't woke. And while I haven't seen Barbie, the girls I know who have seen it (like 4 from my work lol) liked it because of how feminine it was, which I would say is the antithesis to the woke, androgynous females they have been pushing lately.
@@Knight3434I don’t know exactly the (movie) copyright , but think of Spider man , Sony has the license, and is why they kept making new ones because if they didn’t they’d lose the rights to Spider-Man , (I don’t know enough as to why - just if they didn’t they’d lose it)

The whole point about the dwarves sucks for everyone. Hollywood doesn't want to cast small people anymore as dwarves because they think it is insulting to them. Meanwhile these dwarf actors have a really hard time landing jobs and roles due to their size and looks and it's mostly these roles that landed them work, fame and money. Most of them already stated that they really don't care and love doing these jobs. Now these people are having a much harder time to land these roles since they're basically cancelled and if Hollywood needs a dwarf they just cast a normal-sized human and throw CGI on it (for example: Hugh Grant as Oompa Loompa in the new Wonka movie).
It's another one of those cases where people/companies don't realise that goals do not equal actual results. Hollywood is so behind the thought that they're helping these people by cancelling their roles that they don't realise they're only making problems worse for these actors.
As someone who literally wrote a short story for school that expressed stuff that would have been better to discuss with a therapist, I can definitely agree with the point about people writing out insecurity instead of a story.
I think what people hate the most is that a lot of the "new"(*your decision to change that to woke*) entertainment is the fact that it sucks, its badly written it comes far too hard in what it wants to preach and it irrevocably modifies the old for something worst, if it was for something better then no one would care about the politics on it but because it sucks people hate it.
Like the idea of making alterative story of Snow White being able to become an "independent strong waaamen" isn't bad as a concept... but you need a very good writer and focus to pull it off, and take into account the story related to it, imagine if instead of talking about the whole story of: escaping to the dwarves->poisoned->prince kills evil queen->happy ever after. you were to focus on the time snow white was living with the dwarves and put it as if was doom/plants vs zombies, each night monsters from the queen will come to the home and the dwarves with snow white would have to defend themselves until hey kill a lieutenant of the evil queen? it sounds cool in my opinion :p
I watched Maleficend... the first one I gave it a 7/10 the second one a 5.5-6/10.
Edit1: why the f* hasn't anyone implemented the good tropes to the "independent strong waaamen" idea to make a good character? I think everyone here knows the classic trope of the hero becoming arrogant and ends up being saved by their friend and allowing them to progress... why does the "independent strong waaamen" have to never make mistakes and the world itself bend so she never does something wrong or being punished?
It's not even racism... Thier was an older live Snow White and that actress was Latina as well. The major difference is that actress had professionalism and class.
Saying Snow White should be white is not racist. Imagine a white Black Panther… it is the reason for the character’s name. Of all Disney properties Snow White is kinda obvious…
I remember looking into this girl a while ago cus I'm Colombian and I wanted to know where she popped out from, since over here, whenever an artist makes it outside, we generally know who it was, like Shakira or Sofia Vergara, but I had no idea who this girl was... Turns out that she's a second generation Colombo-american that's half-polish, born and raised in New Jersey, which, if you know your average Colombian heritage, would make her something like 80% white, and as Asmon once said about the people he grew up with, she's just American. She could be selling herself as a Polish woman too, but... being Latina (which she really isn't imo, but that's another topic) probably opens more doors over in Lxs Angeles (that's a joke btw, on the putting Xs over gendered things lol)
apparently there was this feminist film nerd on tiktok (which I'm not even gonna say her name) who has a lot of platform, made this claim that people criticising Rachel is "misogynistic" and are trying to justify why the"patriarchy" exists and so on.

she's a staunch racist, so are the producer, but god forbid some viewers being racist towards multimillionaires.
I used to work at McDonald’s and the reason their drinks taste better is because they actually follow the carbonation instructions and percentages that come from the soda companies themselves, most other places don’t carbonate the drink correctly or add too much syrup
I've been saying this for years. Many writers use diversity and inclusion in TV/film for the sake of it, rather than trying to tell a good story around it. Almost no one wants to write geniunely good stories anymore. It's literally supposed to be entertainment, not therapy.
The Brothers Grimm had only one type of girl who would have a specific skin color in mind when they wrote their Snow White story in 1812. When will we return to being true to the source material when making these movie adaptations? In the case of Snow White, it is critical to be true to The Brothers Grimm's story.
That thing with the casting for the dwarves was cold as hell. Peter Dinklage might find playing fantasy dwarves dimeaning but I'm sure there are less rich/famous actors with his condition out there that would've been interested in putting a Disney movie on their resume. Instead they basically got blacklisted from the roles. Big oof

Disney pls stop ruining classics. You want to be woke, write NEW woke stories. There's no need to remake a classic and make it woke. The only reason they wont is because it doesnt sell well and they need to use it on top of a classic for it for people to watch it.

Correction: The examples of LotR and Berserk are high fantasy, but they are high fantasy with human struggles and relatability. There is a nuance there.
It doesn't help when your lead actor/actress seems to actively hate the source material, making you wonder why they're even there in the first place. At least find someone to play the character that is actually invested in the character and the story and respects what they're adapting it from. And if you can't do that, then at least keep those feelings internal until the movie is already out and don't come off as disinterested or God forbid insulting to the original when you're in interviews trying to PROMOTE the movie.
snow white and the seven checkboxes lol
The Mcdonalds coke analogy really hit home for Asmon.
You could see his passion level rise tenfold.
Hunger games was a great feminist movie without being a feminist movie.
imo a really good successful remake was the Maleficent movies. I thought they were both really good. (and the battles and CGI was badass) They still stuck true to the 3 fairies changing the color of Aurora's dress, they stuck true to Aurora falling in love, and I LOVED their twist on Maleficent's kiss waking up Aurora, cuz parental love is also true love and I really liked the twist on that concept of the curse and overall making Maleficent not essentially a totally bad villain, but gave her a more realistic agenda (hell hath no fury like a woman scorned) and Maleficent learning from her mistakes was an overall really well done perspective of a remake. 😌👍 But once you start removing beloved characters and changing a lot of the look of a character, it's a no for me dawg.
Basically not everyone is in the mood for an afterschool special (teaching moment) from their entertainment. They want to escape, not be reminded of how bad the world really sucks.

The thing about Heimdal is that he is known as the White Aesir
The god and his possessions are described in enigmatic manners. For example, Heimdall is emerald-toothed, "the head is called his sword," and he is "the whitest of the gods."
However Idris killed it and it is the MCU.
They can change the color of these characters all they want, but it's no longer the original character
I have no problem with them race-swapping a character AS LONG AS the change makes sense in the world and it doesn't impinge upon critical elements of that character. I think in every situation where a race-swapped character has NOT worked, it has been because the fundamental element of what makes that character who they are has been destroyed, either by changes to the story or changes to the perception of how a story might go. I constantly bring up Broadway when talking to people about this issue; anyone can play anyone on Broadway or in a play. But try putting someone white in the role of Porgy in Porgy and Bess and you are going to have a problem. But anyone can play Harold Hill from the Music Man because ostensibly, anyone could be a swindling know-it-all salesman coming into town.
I think the original character can stay intact as long as the OTHER aspects of the character aren't destroyed and the actor/actress knocks it out the park. Disney and others keep getting it wrong because they take the character, race-swap it, and then destroy the other things that make that character recognizable.
Swapping Hemdall worked because he is a very minor character, both in the actual Norse mythology and in the Marvel comic universe.
