I feel the worst part is that any criticism will be deflected by Disney simply saying “Look, we did an ethnic! Huh, huh?”
^This
That's super annoying, but it also doesn't help that there's enough people getting really racist about it.

@@saucinreggie7900 they getting wild have you read the comments from the trailer? It's crazy.
@@MangoPop what they say? What's tea?
Disney has big hits and big misses. Encanto was original and people loved it.
Is making an original movie loosely based on any African mythology that hard? Just swapping races is not what I would call representation. Griffy nailed it, they just exploiting us and disguising it as inclusivity.
Yo remember how they made Black Panther and just fused all the African countries into one big one while barely touching on their culture at all? That's how the world thinks of Africa, like it's one giant country instead of their own places with rich unique histories
People didn't like Encanto man
@@ApexGale they know its good enough for most people despite being lazy and to them that's all that matters because in the end itll take the least effort while also being inclusive enough to draw in more marvel fans
Yeah, because Tiana in The Princess and The Frog ain’t it! She was a frog pretty much the whole entire movie 😒😒.
They giving people what they want so they stop bitching, it’s that simple…
"Kids don't give a shit about diversity, they just dress up as princesses or superheroes" exactly!!!!
Edit: 400+ likes holy shiet thank you y'all
I literally dressed up as snow white on Halloween when I was 4

@@zachc80 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Facts. Kids don't care about race, they care about good characters.
The people that want to watch the little mermaid are grown ups that liked the movie when they were little.
I went trick or treating with my friends and their daughters. The one girl-super pale and blonde due to her Polish ancestry-dressed as Jasmine from Aladdin. At one point we passed a kid of Arab descent… dressed as Elsa. Just let kid be kids and like who they like, stop getting bent out of shape over useless stuff like skin color.
I agree that we shouldn't see color. The only problem is, the people who wanted to see Ariel black don't think this way. They want representation. It was never about erasing skin color as a factor. They want black dominance as revenge for years of abuse. And it will never end.
I know like I have more important things to worry about then a disney movie
@@NewbCh8surr exactly. The Internet doesn't want equality. They want to reverse the roles to give others a taste of what happened. Sonething that the current generation has nothing to do with anymore.
@@NewbCh8surr Thing is they never experienced any of that abuse though?

Most people "upset" don't actually care about Disney making black or brown princesses. Everybody loved princess and the frog. Everybody loved Moana. What people don't like is when you go back to an ALREADY existing character and suddenly change it, especially if it's just to obviously virtue signal.
Completely agree, the racist character griffy is playing is saying the things I've not heard coming from the people who are made about the movie.
Thats the point I've been making but it gets largely ignored
Princess and the frog was a banger
Agreed 100%. Also, that's why I love disney's The Princess and the Frog - it's roughly based on european tale, but with a clever twist, and changing her skin color was actually understandable and perfectly fitted. It's a completley new character.
Disney's princess and the frog was actually based on a real black woman.
@@jamielovesyt yes that became a frog.
@@jamielovesyt that's kind of an L. All the princesses get to be human aside from the mermaid which is a mythical and almost ethereal creature, she on the other hand turns into a damn frog?🤣

@@SymmetricalDocking frrrr
Imagine if they turned Blade or Spawn white or whatever.. I'd be pissed in the same way! Because they're changing the original character... There are SO MANY cool black characters, but instead of making a new movie for them they rather change characters that we have already seen hundreds of times!
Like bro gimme a new spawn movie ffs..
I agree wholeheartedly with you griffy. Exploiting us for "diversity" is fucking ridiculous. Is it that hard to make an original black character instead of changing established characters?
Fr I agree to an extent bc idk if you talking about characters like miles morales or falcon
im so glad griffy talked about his, i was feeling attacked in my family cause i was literally the only one who thought this was retarded and disney was a lazy fuck. glad to see at least one person of color, even if it is the internet, agrees that this is stupid and not worth any of color folks time or attention.
@@K_Devious falcon was already his own established character but they simped him to ditch his already established superhero persona to take on the new captain America was the most unwanted idea any true fan hated in the comic and the Disney plus series, they literally gave us sloppy seconds and called it a mantle "it's captain America, but with wings now and he's black to" , like cmon bruh yall just ruined falcon foh!!! 🤦🏾
💯
They are doing new characters! Does that make these character as big as the classic ones? No
Moral of the story: If you want more representation, MAKE NEW AND FRESH CHARACTERS!
I like how he roasted both sides- Disney for exploiting diversity and the people mad because they're racist, not because of Disney being underhanded
“Little black kids aren’t worried about diversity.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Facts. As a black kid I practically grew up on disney where the vast majority of characters were white and uk what...i didn't care
@YeaMan I thought when I had finished my studies and could finally pay for my own car to move around I would be done with black dudes showing me their mixtape when walking down the street, yet here we are; the mixtape black dude has moved to RUclips now.
They aren't worried, but there were many black girls who were glad to finally see a character they can relate to more.

It's terrifying... being afraid to say what you think because you might be falsely branded as a "racist", "homophobe", etc. and lose your friends and job. Society is so fucked up.
Joker profile pic talks about society...get real. Nobody is losing their job over a take on the little mermaid or opinion. Getting called racist or homophobic on Twitter isnt gonna make your friends not like you or your employer to let you go. They only do that if you actually deserve it and are saying actual racist and homophobic remarks.
If there is a LGBT show and you go on twitter to call it "mid" and people start calling you homophobic and find your job to tell them they will look at your social and see that it's just you calling a show mid and not do anything. If you are actually saying homophobic slurs then you might be let go
@@gageunruh3574 bruh this take is so wrong but you acting like you so right like shut the fuck up. People been "cancelled" for the most stupid shit, your work doesn't care about context or anything they care about all this sudden pressure from a bunch of people. Businesses care more about customers and public opinion than their employees.
Honestly I almost lost my partner because of this, he thinks I’m racist because he thought i said black girl can’t be princesses. I’m so pissed because I’m not saying they can’t be. I’m talking about the insensitive race swapping with an already established white character. I’m fine with an original black mermaid, whose NOT Named after my our original Ariel. She can be any other name, but not Ariel.
We've overcorrected in the opposite direction. We still have not mastered that healthy middle yet.
@@gageunruh3574 "Nobody is losing their job" you'd be surprised.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. How much is it an impact on our community? I dressed as many Disney Princesses when I was younger. I can still role my eyes, wanting new original content for us while at the same time recognize how great Halle's voice is
Griffy definitely had a vendetta in this one
Not funny kids. Delete all your comments and stop watching thesee videos
So is Griffy racist then?
He's right. You're Disney you can afford to make new characters of those ethnicities rather than just making the same old story with an ethnic twist.

Here's the thing about the casting: if Ariel was ORIGINALLY black in the animated movie, then that wouldn't be a problem, even if it is a danish tale (cause she's just a mermaid).
But here's the thing: she wasn't depicted as black. She was white, and she was modelled after a white person. Her appearance has been displayed on merchandise, tv series, video games, and amusement parks. Everyone knows who she is and what she looks like, and Halle Bailey does not look like her. It's just inconsistent. If Ariel had originally been modelled after a black girl, then we wouldn't be asking for a white woman to portray her in a live action movie.
yep and this is why I believe it's forced inclusion.
@Sandman552 Do you feel the same way about Death? I do. Don't care if the character has the power to look however they want- she still had a "main" look in the comics.
@Ricarlo fuck off leech. You’re like a remora trying to suck subscribers off of griffy’s taint and it’s pathetic and disgusting
If you can't find a whyte Mermaid to play Ariel instead do it. Since you need them to look the same. Good luck with that
@@baller0724 Dude just write white ffs. Who the hell cares if you use that word?
I love how he hit the nail on the head for both parts. People mad BECAUSE she is black. The smart people are mad because disney doesn't give a shit about you and just wants your money.
That's exactly why i don't like about Disney movies these days Disney don't actually give a shit and are preying on those who think that they actually give a fuck lol.
Honestly, it's okay that they don't care about us. No business ever does. They're here to do business and make money in the way they know how. The problem is that they're failing to do that by not listening to their money source, that being us.
I hate every live action remake. Hated remakes of Aladdin, The Lion King and definitely hate this one. Lazy Disney just reusing old stories again and again for profit
You should be mad because she's black. It's hideously racist of them. Culture theft. And then they claim white people have no culture. Yeah, we don't if you keep pretending it's yours.
You're right. It's not the "black", it's the "because".
The irony is that there was indeed a mermaid in Little Mermaid of other ethnicity they could use, but in the animated series; her name was Gabriella, she was deaf and mute, with an octopus companion that acted as her translator / interpreter. She’s also Latina. She and Ariel became friends rather quickly too. Ofc, we can't expect Disney to remember that, do we?
I ended up having to edit my comment to include these corrections after checking the wiki as well. 😓
Her name was actually Gabriella, but yeah why didn't they put her instead? She and Ariel were best friends and Gabriella was courageous too!
Um bro. She was a black mermaid that couldn't see or hear. What do you think they gon do with that?
@@imjustczarina thanks for the correction and yeah, that was a lost opportunity for them
@@joycongod4831 more representation
She was Latina though
Ariel being black = dumb and pandering
Princess and the Frog = original story/character about a black girl that was amazing and well-received
I appreciate the contrast between "I don't like it cus she's black" and "I don't like why they made her black." I'm definitely the second one, this "representation" thing is getting so dumb.
“Does it make me sick to my fucking stomach? Indubitably.”

I thought it was just gonna be about Ariel's race but I've seen so many complaints about it not looking like it was underwater I'm surprised that you acknowledged that lmao
I think the idea of a black mermaid lead character is cool. The only part that’s weird is they took an already established character and changed her. Why not make a new story and new character?
Honestly, my only gripe with making Ariel black is what Griffy said. They're only doing it to appear inclusive. Plus, poc shouldn't get hand-me-down fairytales. Let's just create our own black mermaids and Cinderellas.
Princess and the Frog is literally in their catalogue and they wont even use it istg
literally this.
@@WhySoPrettyJinsoul. that’s what I’m saying I’m still salty they gave us a black ariel instead of tiana
I couldn't agree more.
Me personally, I do believe that it will have a positive impact on not just black children but all children. I also believe that Disney should actually try and be inventive whilst occasionally a race swap is fine. All of that taken into account, sure we have a right to be annoyed that black people are clearly being used for profit - but that isn't why the racists are mad.
I completely agree with Griffy on this one. May I also add how it is going to be very annoying when the movie obviously turns out to be a lazy cheap imitation of the original and everyone who says that will be called racist for not liking the movie
if that is your reason for not liking it you're not racist. but you just KNOW people will be hating on it just because Ariel is black.
@@KCMMFB true i don’t really care that she’s black but at the same time if they really wanted representation couldn’t they have just done a princess and the frog movie
@@greenscreenmovieguy5582
Bc they want to make money and they cant do that with some Fisher price token swamp princess.
Like she doesnt even have name ID. She halfway doesnt even count. She's not a Disney classic. She's a Disney's Affirmative Action.
They'll cheer turning a white person Black but don't you dare make a Black character white
@char frog could be black 🤷🏻♂️
“IT’S DISNEY!” is actually the perfect response.
Griffy calling out both sides for their bullshit at once will never get old! Absolutely nailed it, it’s unbelievable how accurate this is 🎯🎯🎯
This is exactly how I feel about people making a big deal of something I'm never going to watch
@Thank me later 🅥 no we won't
Anyone else laughing their ass off at the fact that it's always specifically red haired characters that end up getting turned black? It even happened to Starfire and she was literally an orange skinned alien lmao. Whoever runs Hollywood after must have really had their heart stomped on by a red headed chick.
Gingerism at its finest
Literally like 4 times as many black people in the US as gingers, but *somehow* they gingers aren't a minority, so it's cool.
The weird part is that hair color, while likely originating from white people, can be in *any* skintone(and tends to look pretty good combined darker skin tones, to be real), yet tends to also get erased with the character's original skintone. I don't get it
I thought the original Ariel was blond and Disney changed her hair color to red
Mary Jane… *BLACKED!!!*
@@blue-phoenix115 yeah, I don’t think that title is for a Disney movie
It's just weird growing up knowing a character looked like this and then having it portrayed as something a little different. Ya know? Not saying it's bad, but sometimes it's better to keep things the same.
But it doesn't make sense throwing a hissy fit when all they know is that they changed the race.
Its perfectly reasonable to get mad at yet another shitty live action, but the hate towards the actress is unreal.
@@blksmagma the hate it's against Disney for casting a black woman for diversity quotas, not the actress per se
It should simply be stated I don't like that she looks different I don't like that her character change but to sit there and say I don't like that she's black and she shouldn't be black and mermaids can't be black it's ridiculous. A made-up creature can be anything imaginable the sky is the limit.
@@albafioralba1264
That would be believable if it weren't for the insanely racist comments towards the actress on twitter and underneath the teaser trailer.
You sound d’mb asf
Yeah, they could easily make stories with African folklore look at kirikou (nobody knows about this movie but it's actually good) but instead they choose to change the color of an existing character to make money and call you a racist if you don't agree with this decision. They already did stories with character that aren't white (Moana, Encanto, Mulan, Aladin) and nobody complain about it
i know Kirikou... what a great artistic animation. but you know... it was censored in USA bcuz the naked body parts. This is the whole stupid PC. Also i know other fairy african tales.
That end note about black people dressing up as whatever is a point I've said for awhile.
I really don't understand the idea of "seeing TV characters that look like me"
Maybe because I've always been into animation and I've never felt like spongebob or bugs bunny needed to look like me, but all the same: I've never felt a strong connection to a character because they were Hispanic. I've felt a connection because I found their actions or personality relatable. Sheen from Jimmy neutron being Mexican was only Maybe 5% why I liked him.
And for 6teen, I related much more to Wyatt than jonsey
Sheen was mexican?! Mind blown.
I'm the same way. the whole " I can only relate to characters who look like me " sounds crazy narcissistic.
I'm Italian and i couldn't stand the Luca movie. Whatever representation i got from it was mostly stereotypes that made me cringe. Every character from movies or shows that i liked either had the longest hair, wore pink, or was blonde (im a brunette). I never felt representation for my race, culture, or even for the fact that i wore glasses. Every single girl character with glasses was either nerd or the ugly one, and god forbid she gets a makeover and the glasses are off. As if she could see without them or is automatically able to use contacts.
I never needed representation, i lived fine without it. But now that everyone is screaming "muh representation!" I want to demand to be represented too.
Agreed. I'm native American and my fav MK characters are lui kang and scorpion. NightWolf ranks pretty low for me. It's nice to see NA stuff in media. But it's not like I NEED it.
Bro fr I'm latino and I've never been like "man that character is cool if only we had the same skin tone" like tf
Bro fuck that my friends kids dressed up as Disney princesses even though the characters aren't Asian. Which rando kids go like yeah this character is my race so i must dress up as then - maybe a minimal percentage. Smh
I don't care that she IS black, I just don't WANT her to be black!"

You are right. Not only Mulan but there were many female warriors in ancient China.
I’m black myself and i 100% agree with griffy on this. Most medias like Disney exploit diversity heavily and don’t even do it right 😐. That Ariel race swap was just as bad as sokka and katara in the live action avatar movie
Edit: Regardless of the controversy of this topic, the actor Halle Bailey doesn’t deserve the hate. She’s beautiful with an amazing voice and i hope her talents can be recognised and represented in different and better roles in the future
At least sokka and Katara had blue eyes. That may have thrown some people off in their expectations of how they should look. (Not that it shouldn't have been like inute people qith contacts or something)
@@leonevelake yeah, at least they didn’t miss out on that detail 😭💀. But the way live action movie productions are moving is just so odd and unnecessary. No, it doesn’t make them racist if they keep the characters they’re portraying as the same race they were in the og stories/cartoons. They’re just overdoing the “inclusivity” bs and forgetting the actual plot of their productions for ex: most marvel live Action series atm 🌚
tbh arelle dad is dark skinned so its not as bad lol would be weird as hell to have a dark skinned fahther and white daughter
They basically doing Cinderella starring brandy, its gonna be fine
There is no Live Action Avatar movie in Ba Sing Se
They literally could've made The Princess and The Frog into a live action instead of race swapping. At least in TP&TF they can have representation for the communities it was based on and actually showcase old culture to younger generations.
And we would've been more than ok with that if they casted properly n did the music right. Cuz that movie IS. MY. SHIIIIT!!!
Nah we need princess and the frog to be white since they race swappin everything to keep it on track let’s be real
I’m sure that movies comin at some point
@@beastness501 Imagine if they did that, the same people who are defending black Ariel would be furious at a White princess n the frog😂
My only reservation with a live action Princess and the Frog is the cgi animals would probably be as uncanny and lifeless as the ones in Lion King.
As a black guy, I’m with young rippa on this. Just stop race bending and gender bending. Stick to the source material
"HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON NIGGA!" The way he said it... I rewinded those few seconds like 15ntimes now hahaha
As an Indian, I would feel weird if they hired actors of other ethnicities to play some Indian mythology or historical figures. Most of the legendary Disney princesses have been taken from European stories where they have been described as being white. I strongly believe in representation but not by taking away someone else's representation. It would be nice if Disney gets new princesses from other cultures. I believe that is true inclusiveness.
Disney is not gonna up for this, you need to put an actual effort for this kind of inclusiveness. All of the effort went to marketing and saying how a lot of people are hating it.
Yes! There's so many more folklore not just European. Why not use other stories!!
Most of the legendary Disney characters aren’t based on mythology or historical figures.. so what’s your point lmdao.
true, they should have make new stories/adapt new folklore for their race quota

@@gagewesterhouse9558 yeah but his reason was that instead of making characters black they should just give black kids their own new disney princesses. But non black people simply don’t like it because she’s black. No other reason
I voted for Obama and support criminal justice reform, I even support armed black militias, so I'm not *that* racist.
But sure, I'm like 5% racist, and seeing a Danish folk character cast as a black lady brings out my 5% of racism.
I assure you though that I'm still 95% not-racist.
I thought it was so fake when the parents put a camera in their daughters face making them react hysterically to Ariel. When princess and the frog came out , I didn’t have that reaction , I just wanted to see the movie just like all the other Disney movies.

That part when Ariel says, "The one piece... The one piece is real!" was fantastic. I almost cried when I heard that during the movie.
Even good old white beard was crying
"Can we get much higher? So high"
And that cliffhanger when Ursulabeard stormed Marineford was crazy!
Whe she said "It's Ariel time" and washed all bad guys in the pool - that's one of the scenes of all time!

@Ricarlo stop botting
The problem isn't that she's gonna be black, the
problem is that it's not benefiting black people
just because they're retelling an old story with
no changes except that the character is a
different skin color.
If we're gonna have diversity in
Hollywood then make new characters to see
ourselves in instead of retelling stories that have

The point isn’t “why would ‘a mermaid’ be black” the point is “why would you change this characters race and then call everyone racist when they don’t like it?” It happened in Avatar when they casted white people to play Sokka and Katara, but now, because it’s the other way around, people wanna act like you can only not like the decision because you’re racist. What if they made Harry Potter Indonesian in the next movie?
I mean Zuko was "white" and they made him Indian by the same token
the point is why tf do you care about a mermaid
I think its slightly different when the character's ethnicity/culture/origin are central to their character. For example Katara is from a inuit like tribe, and all the other characters from the tribe were cast in that aesthetic. It doesn't really make sense for the main representatives of that culture to not accurately represent that. On the other hand there's nothing inherently caucasian about the Little Mermaid. The place is fictional and the fact that the characters are white doesn't contribute to the art at all. Probably means we need more black art that isn't about being black.
Its a mermaid... her daddy could be purple her momma could be green and it wouldnt matter because.. ISSA MERMAID 🧜♀️ 🤦🏾♂️😂
@@TrealFOET Except he wasn't because he was in the film. Bro just make your own shit. This isn't confined to fiction either. Multiple history Channel esque shows have racially swapped people. You want things for blacks, create new black media. Nobody wants a black friends or a white fresh prince.
You so right Griffy. I aint mad about realism, mad that they're arbitrarily changing the race of characters for no reason other than "muh diversity". Make original characters, don't change the ones that already exist.
Hahag
But that isn't what he said...
He literally made fun of the people crying about it while saying, again that black kids don't realyl care about this. The entire arguement is a bunch of weirdos getting their panties into a bunch about it ON BOTH SIDES. The people crying about "chaing race" as he said "go ahead, just say it you're racist" while he also equally criticized black twitter for making it like having her be black is some civil rights movement.

Just adding this cause I didn’t put a real person: Chadwick Boseman
Most of the characters I looked up to were either white or were some fictional creature.
This nigga looks up to Legoshii lmao furry ass 💀

I’m white, and most of my heroes growing up were black athletes, especially in the NBA.

I want to know who is complaining about "realism"? Everyone I see complaining about the skin color is complaining about forced diversity, which has been happening for the past half a decade because Hollywood refuses to learn its lesson from Ghostbuster 2016. From what I've seen, the realism argument is always brought up by people defending the movie, as if using it as a strawman specifically so they can debunk it.
I hate that argument the most. They’ll argue “it’s fantasy, it’s not real” while also saying “shows should reflect what the real(modern) world looks like”. I’m done with diversity hires, it’s not like I have to watch it anyway. Though I’ve heard she was picked for her voice, so hope she enjoyed making it.
Was surprised to see a comment by THE Shady Doorags!
Anyhow, I agree but admit I'm only partially even paying attention to these things. At this point if the source isn't indie odds are it's mediocre at best
@@TexMeta facts like with rings of power they've said that exact nonsense did they forget it's based off medieval Europe
@@TexMeta the argument "being white isn't integral to the character" is also a pretty annoying argument to get around. Like if that's the way they were drawn, how is not not integral?

Disney seems to have forgotten that most of the little girls who want to dress up as princesses immediately go to elsa, and she's fricken nordic. Whenever they say, "Kids need to be able to relate to characters" I'm 100% certain they talking about 30 year old disney kids from the 90's who never grew up and never matured
I can't be the only one mad because a live action little mermaid looks creepy AF, I mean seeing a human woman with a fin underwater in that dark and cold place just scares the shit out of me.

"The Chinese don't let Women go to wars!"
Huns: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
(But in all seriousness, they actually acknowledge that in the movie. Females are in fact frowned upon as soldiers back then. But the only time they let em into wars is by nursery reasons. And Females are damn good at bringing soldiers back to health, even with the equipment they got. And the Huns actually don't mind Females as warriors, hence Shan yu, being a Hun, not scoffing that Mulan is a Female. He only saw the Soldier from the mountains, the same one who killed his entire clan. That's all he ever saw Mulan as. A Soldier. Nothing more.)
BTW, if you mean the Remake, then forget what I said.
My dude the Huns ARENT CHINESE
Bro wrote a whole essay
I mean it is pretty stupid, race swapping characters for no other reason than to just race swap em is unnecessary.
Why'd they do it in the first place? Idc if they did it but it's like why they do it? That's what should be talked about. I mean, I think they're being inclusionary for dollars and erase the founders of Disney racism to rebuild Disney's name for the future, IMO. Am I wrong there, lol?

Its not that shes a black disney princess, its that shes a black girl playing a white disney princess there i said it 🤷♂️ thats why Tiana is so good, because shes undoubtedly black and she doesnt feel whitewashed
If I wanted to see a original black Disney character, I would just watch princess and the Frog. Good characters, good music, original enough said.
One of the best films Disney put out which doesn't get enough recognition.
@@Crzypengu ikr
my little shawty -
She was a frog for most of the film though
You do realise that the 'Princess and the Frog' is a reimagining of 'the Frog prince' just like all the Disney princesses except Nala and Merida and not an original, original right? You do know that originally all the Frog prince characters are white right? You do know that Disney raceswapped the main cast to be black in more or less the SAME way as their doing with Ariel (instead Tianas whole character is based on being a for real black person). So if your mad at this Ariel for whatever reason then you should hate Tiana for the same reasons
I’m not emotionally invested in this upcoming movie like how everyone would expect me to. The Little Mermaid remake is going to be another soulless cashgrab that will have instant low ratings by critics for being a live action remake. Seriously, this whole remaking animated movies into live action phase of Disney’s is silly and they need to stop.
I don’t know why everyone’s losing their shit at receiving something that doesn’t really benefit us. I’ve even heard people crying over this movie on reaction channels. I wish Disney had the balls to make movies based on the many African myths, and make them “child friendly” as usual. I only want to see this movie for how uncanny the visuals will look. Setting your movie underwater is whole ‘nother level of uncanny. Like imagine a hyper-realistic crab singing Under the Sea. I’m DYING, I can’t wait to see that shitshow LMAO.
😂💀 OMG I’m dead ass laughing to imaging the realistic crab dancing and singing “under the SEAAAA “🎶 now 😂 💀😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Low ratings by critics? You mean by audience right? Cause critics love this kind of shit, just look the rating difference from critics to audience in new Star Wars, She-Hulk, and LOTR: Ring of Power..
Everything is a soulless cash grab until it’s something YOU enjoy..I hate that it’s a cash grab mentality like these cooperation ain’t been doing this for years..shit the McDonald’s meals of celebrities were just rehashed meals that were already there..like the sweetie meal it was literally just fries a burger and a smoothie nothing new or limited edition or special jusr reused ..it’s called marketing but y’all don’t realize shit cuz u have no intuition to find out why..just complain..
Let's see...
Lion King live action was disappointing too. No animal pyramid in I Just Can't Wait to be King, watered down Be Prepared...
Then we have Mulan, Dumbo and Pinnochio live action adaptations, which... Bleagh.
I suppose I found Maleficent and Aladdin were decent. Beauty and the Beast was passable.
Roughly a 50% hit rate on these live adaptation shenanigans.
At this point I'm not interested in any more of these.
@@irvancrocs1753 for the remakes both ways can happen but it depends on if the film becomes strkingly similar to the original where nostalgia baiting is clearly visible. Lion king, aladdin and any remake after that besides Mulan share this like aladdin is 57% critic but 94% audience lion king is pretty similar with 52% critic and 88% audience.
I'm just waiting for someone to start pointing out the hypocrisy of calling out people upset that this fictional character has been race swapped while using the examples of other characters being race swapped after years of bitching and moaning about race swapping the characters they're using as examples of "well y'all did it first"... Like.. either it's acceptable or it's not. Don't say it's not acceptable when it's one way but then it's acceptable and you're racist when it's another.
And let's not pretend we don't know how this movie is gonna turn out. Disney's gonna do something to fuck up the movie and lose what made the original work so well (Lion King's animated animals that can convey emotion, Pinnoccio learning about behaving like a jackass, Mulan losing her cleverness and resourcefulness, etc., etc.) and they're going to hide from the all but inevitable bad reviews that will come - because Disney can't make a good live action remake for the life of them - and dismiss any people bitching about it as racist.
It's possible it'll be good. But I'm not going to hold my breath.
What makes me upset about this whole thing is this: I used to watch The Little Mermaid TV show and there was an ORIGINAL "POC" character (who was also deaf) named Gabriella. I loved that character. I am "white". I never forgot about her. Why couldn't they make a film with her? I wasn't pissed because a mermaid was "black". I was pissed because Ariel (an already existing character) was made "black". What if we made an already existing "black" character "white"? Wouldn't be too cool, would it? I have no problem making mermaids whatever color you want; they're not even real. Just don't change an already existing character to push representation. Make a new character who is interesting, like they did back in that The Little Mermaid TV show.
Wake me up when we have an original black character and not an old character just being colored black 😴
Damn we need more real talks like this from Griffy
Minus the baseless racism accusations.
the crab and fish are somehow worse than the blatant pandering
This man has never lied.
I’ve always said that 90% of the time (there are a few little exceptions) I don’t care how a person who plays a role looks. The only thing I care about is them being the best pick for the movie/show.
One thing I dislike, however, is forced diversity. Diversity to me is like a “selfless” deed. Both are often done so a company can seem morally superior when, in reality, they are quite the opposite.
At least someone gets it.
Businesses such as Disney have ulterior motives doing it. It's disingenuous. On top of that, they use those actors as a shield. They make them willingly suffer for their goals ($$$ that is). They don't give a single f*ck. Can we please stop with that shyte?
It isn't forced diversity. We live in a diverse world not a white world get over it.
Well that’s BS. A lot of times the best pick for a certain movie/show is someone who looks a certain way
@@bayoumuddah Yeah... entirely missing the point here. But hey, can't say I'm surprised...
@@Haterator the point is this is a really petty thing to get bent out of shape over. It's a movie there are much more important things in life.
Right they could’ve easily either did a Princess in the Frog live action and had Halle as Tiana, or made another OG black Disney Princess and had Halle voice her
2:08 Griffy: it’s showing little black girls can do anything-
THAT’S EXACTLY WHY TIANA EXISTS!
Tbf the whole point of Mulan is that she was not allowed to go to war, she pretended to be a man.
If her father the king neptune is not terry crews i'm gonna be even more upset
Mulan wasn't allowed to go to war. She hid that fact and was about to get executed for it.
And I agree almost 100% with griffys opinion on this. I also agree the water looks like crap and that's is just the fact of having to have a real person breathing. Their movies don't need live actions. Lol
But in the end Emperor and people praised Mulan as their hero
@@hallo4651 because she saved the nation. Context buddy. When they first found out the only reason the caption didn't kill her is she saved their lives.
@@9usuck0 in reality her family would be executed tho
@@hallo4651 the Emperor was cool with Mulan being a woman because she personally saved his life and killed the Hun leader.
Everyone else was suddenly okay with Mulan being a woman and a soldier/hero because it is extremely unhealthy to publicly disagree with the supreme ruler of your country.
@@pyrosplicer85 Emperor was cool because it's fictional. Real life Emperor would punish Mulan and her allies.
1000% gonna be blamed on racism after it flops in the theatres though. Just like the past couple dog shit movies Disney has released
Oh most definitely why else would they cast a black person in this
Wait until they see how the live action blue fairy looks in Pinocchio.

He spat out the ocean they're filming the movie in.
Nahhhhhhh 😭
I haven't laughed that hard in a while 😆
🤣🤣
Mans finally put the debate to bed
I agree.
Look at the Book of Eli. One of my favorite movies, main character is original and black. His skin color isn’t even brought up, it’s not apart of the story because the color of his skin DOESN’T MATTER.
A black Ariel was clearly made because of the fact that she’s black, not if she’s a good actress or not. I agree. It’s exploiting diversity and little kids and calling it “representation”.
If I was an employer, I’d hire based on skills and experience or education. Skin color doesn’t matter, cultural background doesn’t matter. Now we have pilots being hired because of their skin, not if they can fly a plane good.
1:49 could have not said it any better
Im glad we have people in our community like Griffy who are actually brave enough to speak out and have a different opinion. I swear Its hard being black sometimes when you don't follow the masses and form your opinion because you get moments like this where you are speaking from an actual non racist standpoint but everyone treats you like you're plotting the downfall of black people even if you are black yourself
These are times when I wish King Rippa wasn't a racoon because he speaks facts when it comes to Tokenization. If he advocated for the blk community instead of being a sellout, more people would have listened to him.
@@kenshix7902 How is he a sellout?
@@kenshix7902 What, you don't want to read his intentionally conservatively charged comics to join the right side of the culture war?
They know that you're not plotting the downfall of black people, they're just saying it because they know they actually are doing the plotting themselves. It's called projection.
You’re the Uncle Ruckus of black people
Griffy should be mad for Disney taking his idea of Little Mermaid
