I've been following Disney's downfall and it's a matter of time before Disney goes under and there assests sold off.
Doubt it anytime soon.
Could that be the activists running Disney’s goal? They’re purposefully trying to run them into the ground so they start selling franchises/characters off to stay afloat.
@@buccaneercat maybe but I doubt it.
@@2l84me8 oh you have no idea just hoe bad the finances are with Disney, cause if they can't pay the bills. The big banks and accountants will come knocking.
It may be starting. #toowoketofail
Thank you for telling it like it is. The fact that Disney cares more about being woke than producing legit good content is what's making them so bad these days, but few are willing to admit the real problem!
So what? Reputation matters!
@@hsuehhs1 If "reputation" matters so much to Disney, they should make content that isn't woke!
@@Noobul8r9000 well it does matter woke is part of reputation
@@Noobul8r9000 Can you explain what's woke about this? Is it because she's black?
@@tobiasburrell6055 That, and they're apparently changing the story in other ways to make it more politically correct, like changing the lyrics of "Kiss the Girl." Honestly, do you even know the meaning of woke?
I don't mind the sequels but the remakes, wokeness and anti-white needs to go.
im not white, but even I can see how Disney is hating men and white in general. If they want to make a black heroine, create a new story with a new Hero!!!! You dont have to go back and remake a classic and black-ify they characters. ITs unoriginal and its blatant marketing ploy to get black audiences and no black people dont like being spoken down to and getting left overs. This is insulting to white people who love the original Ariel the little mermaid and its insulting to black people who get a Token black mermaid that they should feel as their own original princess. By trying to be woke, Disney offends both audiences.
you sound ridiculous
You know the whole point of a remake it can’t be the same.
anti-white is INSANE
@@susanroche597 That has to be the most idiotic thing I've ever read, and literally cannot justify why Disney screws up their own movies legacy that never should have been tampered with in the beginning with these god awful remakes
It’s disappointing how many people think it’s okay for this cultural appropriation and racism is acceptable to any race , specifically Caucasians. I see a lot of the comments “ oh they’ve done it in the past “, but we are armed with all these lessons and knowledge today with everything learnt from the past and you think it’s still okay for their cultures to be disrespected?. It’s hypocritical !!!. I’ve also come across alot comments where people have noted the villains being white and questioning it and then have people saying it’s “ historically accurate “?. Like how ugly do you have to be to say something like that?.
I live in Australia , a multicultural country where we don’t get judged or unfriended or bullied on who you vote for/ which side you go for and have been brought up to learn how to respect other peoples cultures and ultimately not steal and appropriate from them. One of the biggest cultures impacted have been our indigenous people. Creating dot art paintings and depicting their Dreamtime stories as an outsider is known for racism especially if your a European in decent , so how the hell is these adaptions getting away with it?. It’s not even the adaptions too, it’s all their movies stealing fairytales and appropriating down to clothing. Example Aladdin was an Chinese fable using Arabic characters which they then all the sudden change their traditional clothing to Indian inspired clothing ?. Like how confusing is that as an Assyrian?. Then you have stories that have been stolen like the German fairytale of the princess and the frog where the story has been completely changed , raceswapped and location along with culture?. I don’t understand why we can’t just make new fairytales that depict culture correctly and are diverse rather than steal, implant and change someone’s else’s culture?. With the little mermaid I would have said to make the actress danish in order to depict a danish fairytale but literally raceswapped her entirely and then insulted the danish and audience but bringing it up as “ we are giving opportunities to other cultures/races “ as if anyone who speaks up about this theft is being racist. I get it’s fiction but it represents cultures and insults them and passes on the wrong messages. If this is acceptable then nobody should have culture they can express.
I feel like you are implying that Danish/German people cannot be black at all...
@@silentwhispering there are black Chinese citizens but that doesn’t make them ethnically Chinese. If Mulan was casted with a black actor because there are black people that lives China, people would be reasonably upset and this goes for other countries.
@@silentwhispering are these actors and actress are danish/german ????? otherwise its cultural appropriation. a false representation of a fictional tale within a culture. It's something disney gets wrong with all their fairytales. Aladdin is a chinese fairytale located in iraq where the characters wear indian inspired clothing. Like thats not confusing at all. The princess and the frog is a german fairytale located in America in an entirely different time with an entirely different race which those themes are communicated?. Dont steal cultural fairytales , it shows how lazy Disney is in not being able to create their own.
@@silentwhisperingmost of those story where made by there own group of People and Black and brown people overall had no right or where only a view in that time when it created, do you really believe there where white people or yellow people in Afrika?? When they created angstig or Mama wata???? This same count from stores in Europa there no way in hell they whould be the same case here as there that why saying " are you implying there no brown/Black people in dansshow/German?" Do you know how stupid it sound in a time there was no right for them on at little right at that time you and other sound so stupid when saying this.
Just how other say Aladin is a Chinese story do you think a Idian guy was in China at that time?!? No it whould not mabey visit but not lived at time Cindrella is Also a Chinese part story or the Princess and the edd
@@silentwhisperingdo you not understand tho the difference , there’s many Danish/germans that are black, but back then Germany and Denmark were originally populated by whites that led all the way to Italy. On top of that she’s an established character , just as if Milan was black it wouldn’t be ethnically accurate on top of that, she could of been played by a Greek actress, and that would of been okay because her father is Greek, she’s cousins with Hercules.
Is it bad that I thought the classic Disney princesses were also brave and courageous in their own way while still holding onto their femininity.
I honestly think that’s really good but it just feels like people miss that sometimes
No, because it's true.
For example ariel gets so much criticism for what she doing all the time she is a girl with dreams and she want to be part of other worlds she is so misundersood vy others
GREAT DARK DREAM PRODUCTIONS WOKE DISNEY'S LIVE-ACTION REMAKES.
Whoever does the castings for these should either get fired or go to a party with Seth Rogen and Snoop Dogg
Basically, Disney is almost trying to rewrite their history with an agenda in mind while making a quick buck.
There is no problem as Disney has ben making remakes since the 2000's and no one batted an eye. Its the audience that has an issue because they're no longer the main focus. White people feel entitled to everything and everyone's opinions. Why else do you think the globe is breaking away from USA and forming BRICS? You claim that this is an integrated world but it is keeping the Western white hegemony alive
Her Being a Black Woman COMPLETELY ASIDE, Haley Looks NOTHING AT ALL LIKE ARIEL. Disney Remodeled Head to Toe One of its Most Iconic Characters and I'll Dare to say Ariel is Probably the most icon Mermaid in History I don't see anything close to Ariel in this version
Anyone medelled after Ariel would look absolutely ridiculous. She looks like an exaggerated version of an 80's popstar with aggressive fire engine hair, ENORMOUS bangs and just the hair overall is fucking awful. Even worse if the actress was to be as pale as the animated Ariel. It works in an animated film but even attempting it on a real person on anything but photos would look like cheap cosplay. And no Ariel was not that iconic, dear lord. I don't think I heard anyone ever mention Ariel when talking about Disney films for the past ten years before she was suddenly everyone's favourite when a black actress was cast as her. Ariel is based on The Little Mermaid who did not have red hair and no one lost their mind about that and she is actually iconic and has several statues (replicas of the original one in Copenhagen) in different countries over the world. The original was not some obscure fairytale when Disney decided to make an animated feature, it wasn't even the first time it was turned into an animated film.
@@FuzzyKittenBoots ok
@@FuzzyKittenBoots Everything you wrote was wrong. 😂 The DISNEY version of the little mermaid was MADE with a white mermaid with red hair. Disney made that specific character and they chose to make her White. To butcher their own idea is stupid. A real life girl with big blue eyes and vibrant red hair isn’t over the top. Halle looks nothing like Ariel, who IS the most iconic mermaid of all cinema history. Do you live under a rock or something?
@@AR-ed8jp I'm sorry, are you saying that a private company should not have the right to retell their own shitty version of an original fairytale however they want without people acting as if they paid Disney with tax money because their own parents wouldn't read to them?
Uhm no. I have seen cosplayers and just anyone with that shade of red hair. It looks like shit in anything but retouched pictures and there's no saving it. Even if they did use a white actress she wouldn't have been naturally a redhead and she would not have had that aggressive shade of 80s red hair and ridiculous volume. Because the Disney princesses always look like the ideals of their (actual) time but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have cared one bit about the specific shade of red as long as the actress was white 😉
Representation is wonderful, but it shouldn't be used as a replacement for good writing.
If you have good writing, a good story, and you work diversity into that in an organic way, then you have something that ANYONE can enjoy.
I like to use The Umbrella Academy as an example of how this can be done. You've got 7 main characters, 2 white guys, one Hispanic guy, an Asian guy, a white girl(who is later trans) and a black girl. The Characters have diverse personalities, sexualities, gender identities, and interests. It's very diverse, but the focus is on them trying to stop the apocalypse and dealing with how messed up they are as a family.
The representation feels organic, it's not shoved down the audiences throat, and it doesn't make the story take backseat.
It can be done.
Disney just doesn't care to do it.
Amen!!! Well said and very true. Great example.
Btw, loved Umbrella Academy since the comic first came out.
The best way to include diverse representation is to create new stories that reflect it in a positive light. Ariel being black isn’t going to be impactful. Tinker Bell will be left behind in favor of her original white version, just like Ariel. Disney needs to add diversity into their line by not remaking old stories. The stories are CLASSIC for a reason. They might have flaws too, which adds to the charm and impact. Peter Pan has harmful Native American stereotypes but we shouldn’t censor it since it’s important to know that those were the views back in the day. Disney needs to stop pushing their fake woke agenda and start actually caring about diverse voices. It’s not only about race. Where is the neurodivergent representation? When can I get an autistic Disney princess who’s like me? Where’s the diverse body type representation? Disney used to be magical, creating stories that would last for ages, changing many generations and becoming special. I’m tired of the remakes and sequels. I want new stories and new diverse voices. Disney can do it. We got Encanto. We need much more. All races, genders, sexualities, and cultures matter. Give us true representation, Disney.
I have to be honest: I get tired of hearing the trope that "movies reflect the eras they were made in," as if all movies are docudramas or history lessons. Also, the fact that something is depicted in a fantasy film does not indicate that the filmmakers think it exists that way in real life. Does anyone really believe that 1950s audiences saw "What Makes the Red Man Red" as a serious examination of Native Americans? They didn't - so let's stop insulting their intelligence!
It's also worth pointing out that PETER PAN creator James Barrie had already portrayed Natives in a stereotypical manner in the source material, so that was his responsibility and Disney shouldn't be scapegoated for it. We also need to appreciate that social attitudes toward Indians DID change between 1900 (around the time Barrie was writing) and 1950. (Among other things, Indians were finally granted U.S. citizenship, and their cultures started to be more seriously studied.) Disney was simply staying true to Barrie's vision, and Barrie was just mining his imagination for exotic whimsy. It was never political.
yeah, they're classics because American parents do not read to their children and used the TV as a babysitter. Many of them have incredible animation and music but most of them are seriously lacking when it comes to the stories themselves.
@@FuzzyKittenBoots Give me some examples of the ones you think have lacking stories. I can name multiple movies that inspired me to be who I am today.
@@SeasideDetective2 What I was saying though is that we need to consider the time period things were made in so we can understand what was going on if we get offended or have trouble with the context. I know it gets tiring with the reflection trope but it is true. People will look back on our media and criticize or appreciate it. We do the same with the people of the past. Every piece of media has a history behind it, whether you like it or not.
@@theroseofversailles All right. But what, exactly, was the political subtext behind "What Makes the Red Man Red"? By 1953 the Indian wars had been over for more than half a century, and the Indians themselves were U.S. citizens. Native Americans had not been in the news for quite a while.
2D is king
The "wokeness" in and of itself isnt the issue. It's how hollow it rings. "We're aware of societal problems like not having fair representation in media" rings hollow when their "solution" is to give those that need representation reheated leftovers of beloved characters and calling it a day. As a result, the changes add nothing and fail at their premise of being inclusive, just turning it into tokenism.
Also these movies would be garbage whether or not they were virtue signalling for brownie points. Theyre pitiful cashgrabs that only exist to cash in on nostalgia and any remaining good will the general public has left for the company.
That's why people are giving Chris Pratt a second chance and are enjoying his performance in the Super Mario movie. He respected the fans and the Mario legacy, unlike Chris Evans who started calling the fans "idiots".
🙄... And he called himself Captain America.
@@aidanhever3369 He PLAYED Captain America, genius!!
@@colleen4ever No, he's THE OPPOSITE to his character, you dummy.
Did he call FANS idiots or racist bigots idiots? We can see how you feel.
I think the problem with wokeness nowadays as the Critical Drinker puts it is that for the most part they lacks any nuance.
It is sad what Disney and Hollywood are doing if this keeps going on there not going to be any good and great movies to watch.
I’m tired of Disney, remaking these kinds of stuff why can’t they just green light reboot the project called gigantic I was utterly infuriated, when that animated film was canceled in 2017 but still gigantic would’ve been really cool, what Disney could achieve but that potential was squandered
I felt the Cinderella remake was actually successful. There are parallels, but it had enough original parts to it that it can stand as its own movie.
The Jungle Book live action film was also successful, too.
Overall the cinderella 2015 was a good story the changes were not bad and the cast were doing real emotions unlike beauty and the beast which they look like robots no hate to the cast but cinderella is better
@@rachelyoungdesteny9295he fact that the live-action Beauty and Beast had the "looks like robots" and "can't convey emotions" is a *total full of lies and falsehoods* and let alone a total misinformation, all of it.
On the contrary, the live-action Beauty and the Beast can fully express and convey emotions, of which you don't get it, and let alone that you can't understand that statement being made here.
Thank you! That is what I have been saying! But everyone else has been calling me racist and a bigot. But you nailed it.
I don't just hate how Snow White is dark as snow, I also hate how they made her Latino when everyone knows that she's pure German. The story is supposed to take place around 1812. Latinos didn't move to Germany until 1911. I hate her character because she is too confusing and makes absolutely no sense!😑
Wait to you hear about Belle playing a Filipino woman.
Snow Black is gonna be her new name but it'll b racist so let's not call her that😂
@@archangeljophiel2019 As a Filipino, my reaction was basically : “ Excuse me, she’s WHAT NOW!?! “
@- 류기Ryugi - The singer HER will be playing Belle and she is half black and half Filipino.
@@archangeljophiel2019 They're doing Beauty and the Beast AGAIN?!
Great summary of what's happening not only in Disney but in the whole Hollywood.
I didn't see The Little Mermaid remake but AFAIK (and short answer) but people in the present with darker skin color had ancestors who were in the sun more.
There's no sun under water. Of course.
There's plenty of dark fish and if you argument against the casting is skin color then I'm sad to tell you that there are way bigger biological problems in the way for a half fish half human than skin color.
Disney is one of the examples of when power and fame goes too much in the head.
This is probably the best take on Woke Disney I've heard so far. Thank you for talking about it. You are spot on! ❤
Honestly, pixar is carrying disney with animated movied. No they are no as good as they used to be. But at least they have been original (Aside from light year).
Are 100th Anniversary simply worth to get a piece to showcase Creativity Bankruptcy instead of Creativity Rennaissance ?
Its the Fault for Overfocus to Unnecesary Sequels and Remakes with Time , Energy , Money and Resources
The only thing that is outdated and lost touch with the messes is Disney thmselves. Thought there an increase in LGBT numbers, they are not the majority outside America nor are they culture embraced.
That's the problem with success. If you let it go to your head then you get sloppy and are gonna be forced back to square 1.
When it comes to Peter Pan it was already done last decade and once the previous decade. It and moana feel unneeded.
With the way the MCU is turning out, I hope the do a hard reboot similar to DC. Chris Evans' comment offended many Muslim countries, whether he realized it or not. He's woke. Mark Ruffalo is woke. Chris Hemsworth hates working for Marvel and Disney. Chris Evans may have played Captain America, but he is the furthest thing from Cap. Ironically, while the anti woke crowd don't care for Sam Wilson's Captain America, his actor, Anthony Mackie, acts more like Steve Rogers in real life, than Chris Evans. Let's just gets the Communists out of Disney.
The problem isn't really "wokeness" per se. One need only look at the original "woke" era of moviemaking, the "New Hollywood" of the '70s (a time when, ironically, Disney was remaining stuck in the past). The filmmakers of that generation disdained a lot of things - but by no means all - associated with Classic Hollywood, but at least they created completely original films rather than going back and "fixing" the classic films (KING KONG being the only major remake of that era). Martin Scorsese has even confessed his love for the classics he saw as a child in the 1940s, even though they are in many ways nothing like his own films.
Very solid and fair take, sir. Thank you for the video.
Peter Pan has already gotten it's live action in 2003 and it's one of my favorite Disney movies ever. Wtf is this? Why?
Also.. notice, how Disney LOVES to race swap redhead/ginger white characters. They just.... Freaking love it.
Holy sh!t, it is not WOKENESS. I’m so tired of hearing that word, what does it even mean?!
It’s corporations that are the problem, plain old greed. They think that inclusivity will make them more money, so that’s why they do it.
I doubt anyone would be complaining if the writing for any of these shows and movies were any good. Pay your writers more and hire good ones, problem solved.
You have a pretty solid review on this whole problem with Disney. I fell out of love with Disney since after they made the remake of the jungle book
Hollywoke era is the WORST. I really miss good entertainment.
Disney has truly lost it's magic and I think they don't care. I think they lost who they were before and I also think they don't care about that.
Ur right about all of this, but it’s unfortunate that they have their own “army” that defends them and are ok with them race swapping, having more wokeness, and following other political agendas as that’s how we’re supposed be like. And as long as it’s affecting white characters only then it’s ok, but God forbid we face swap a Black character cus apparently that’s “racist”.
I hate this so much and it’s very disappointing to see where Disney is going with this and even more disappointing and upsetting to see people fall for this crap and support it. What’s baffling is how it wasn’t long ago we didn’t care about this at all or at least had the common sense of how things worked around the world. This is more true toward comedy as u can see the difference between now to what was ok in 00s which IMO is still ok and it’s only “not ok” because of how sensitive our generation has become.
You know something, it reminds me of Baxter Stockman from the TMNT series. Baxter is a black character in the original comics and other versions. But they made him a white character in the very first TMNT cartoon because they believed that having a black villain would be (mockingly) racist.
The key thing here is that most studios are not good with execution.
The concepts had- and have always been FINE for decades. These race swaps are NOTHING new.
But why the others work is that the end product, the marketing, the story, and so on... They were all executed well. Like what happened with Mario and house of the dragon.
We were still attacked when we point out the black cast or a american voicing an Italian. But since the end products were well written, well acted, and, over all, Entertaining, all that drama got pushed under the rug.
People praised the projects, actors thanked the audience for the positive reception. And it was done.
But since studios like Disney and Warner like to double down, while NOT making sure their quality is AT LEAST good, REALLY shows the inexperience of these people. Regardless of their sex.
4:39- But I heard that was a hit. My brother loved it. 5:22- That's because no one could understand what the hell it was all about!
Just like Fox, I wonder what kind of major corporation will buy Disney after their attempts for "being well" with those ones who are of the sectors they made fun before will lead to their downfall since The Black Cauldron. It doesn't help its biggest rivals: Dreamworks and Illumination humiliated them with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and The Super Mario Bros. Movie (respectively). At least they have villains that acted like real CARTOON villains instead of lovable characters that turned out to be one of them in the end. Or turning female characters into stuck up Mary-Sues.
I swear the buzz lightyear movie made me genuinely mad at Disney
I don't mind a little wokeness especially in new original movies, I just hate it when movie remakes have to change to fit a certain audience
When is it ever gonna get through their heads now that movies and shows are literally JUST SUPPOSE BE ENTERTAINMENT TO WATCH?!?!
Every movie and show in the past all followed that simple rule, something enjoyable to watch. Sure there is an underlying message in them, most are good, some are bad but not bad to the point of it being political or about representation.
You want a sort of political movie that's good, Pocahontas I think is a good example for this, people in America invading the lands of a tribe to try and drive them out (or kill them) just to try and dig up gold. Now I'm not Historian, but I think the only reason I think Pocahontas gets on a pass on that is because I'm pretty sure an event like that happened in the past where we drove out tribes to try and mine for precious resources that probably isn't even there.
Hell Red Dead 2 even reinforces that an event like that happened where the tribe you meet in-game had to be driven out by the Americans because the land the tribe inhabited in had oil.
We don't give a fuck about your political or representational message Disney, just make entertaining shows and movies like you always did in the past.
The new little mermaid kinda reminds me of the mortal Kombat movie where they made mileena black. Mileena is my favorite character in the games, and has never been black.
Great video & message. What was the background music, it was awesome as well.
The last remake I've tried to give a chance was Beauty and the Beast.... well I gave it a 1/3rd of a chance. I will never again ruin the classics with no talented woke Disney remakes.
I was kinda hoping Snow White was gonna have a revealing lesbian relationship to the old witch-you know,just to spice things up for adults.
I can agree with majority of the things in this video excluding the buzz light year kiss scene, it was like for a split second I don’t think it did much harm whatsoever it’s actually a blink and you’ll miss it and yeah it’s interpreted that they’re lesbians but I think it was being blown out of proportion
Honestly I might just stop watching the remake’s because it’s never going to stop if I watch them but they are ruining Disney in the long run. A few years ago I thought that the remakes where fine but seeing this video and soo many more throughout the years has made me realize how bad these movies truly are. And I will never be okay with people shaming Republicans or conservatives because you Cannot just shame people for their beliefs and I’m sorry if that makes some people mad but I really don’t care about what people think about me or my beliefs because everyone has their own opinion and beliefs about the world. And I also agree that you can’t blame your viewers for what You put into the movie that’s just asking for a loss of interest and money. Eventually Disney is going to go downhill so much that it might end up being just a company that is not going to give you quality content, instead second rate garbage that’s only a cashgrab. But who knows maybe Disney will see their mistakes and make better decisions, or someone will be rich enough to buy Disney and change it for the better.Awesome job on this video you did amazing!
9:16- OMG- THAT'S FLOUNDER?! He doesn;t even LOOK like a fish!!
I disagree. I have a shirt that is very real "You can fix stupid, but it's gonna hurt"
Thank you for speaking the truth,
Not a fan of live action remakes. I’ll stick with the classics.
Video editor name?
Its not that its woke that makes it bad, the content make disney live action movies bad
I agree with you.
I didn’t know about snow white. 🤦
Toy Story isn’t Disney it’s Pixar while yes Disney owns Pixar it was still made by Pixar company
Awesome video
Poor choice of words for the title LOL
Very good video btw
Personally, I LOVED The Cinderella LA Remake
Gah the Buzzlightyear og script sounds like it would've been super cute. Truly disappointed.
I think disney just needs to do to make ethnic characters original give them their original story that is honoring a specific race more than replacing White characters with ethnic characters I think somebody should do a Peter Pan like the original someone should actually do it for example throw it in Disney face
Lol good thumbnail 😂😂😂
Wait until we see the incredibles remastered with Mrs incredible being black and have a genderswaped Mr incredible where he "or rather she in that film" will have multiple romantic scenes that are focused on with Mrs incredible
And syndrome will be the whitest person they can find out there
Personally, wokeness as a whole is not bad. Representation in itself is not bad. It’s only when companies treat representation like it’s trendy is when I start to have a problem. Representation should not come at the expense of compelling stories and it honestly boils my blood that people are choosing to settle for less just for the sake of nostalgic sentimentality.
They don't really care for real representantion, instead of the raceswap of the little mermaid, why not do a story with Mami Wata (and african mermaid) or other stories of other cultures...
Ever since I was little I wanted a latina Princess, that Disney took one of mesoamerican's legends and adapt it to a new Disney film, what I didn't want was a handout...to turn Snowwhite or any Princess into latina just because (besides...there are latinas who truly could give a more close look to the character, as we come in many shapes and colors...not mention, the actress is a terrible person, a bully...)
If you take European culture and blackwash it then it is indeed a bad form of wokeness. If appropriation of other cultures is bad, then don't race-swap European culture. Valid representation would be working with African myths and casting black people for it because it wouldn't make sense with any other ethnicity. This is the representation people need and want. Show us cultures in authentic ways. Nobody would complain if they just did that.
GREAT DARK DREAM PRODUCTION VIDEO 💙💙💙💙💜💜💜💜👍
The problem with the woke is that it is a disrespect of ethnic European culture. Its maybe the feeling black people get when they talk of black culture or any shared history. I like anime but I am not going to demand that they have ethnic Europeans in their animation or as a lead. Maybe at the very least I will conceive my own take on it with inspiration from them.
That is the main problem. I wonder do the black people feel that way. There are ways to adapt an original into a different setting but it takes great care and attention. Ariel was just altered arbitrarily. It makes no sense. They should have her a bearded lady or a man in the gay relationship just to cement how crazy their woke is; why not make her a drag queen, or a slimy mollusc in slimy love. Make her jabba the hut. There is your funny departure from the canon.
I have no problems with the most of the disney remakes there are some of them i actually do love it was good to me and some i think it was ok decent and i have no problems at all with the little mermaid live action remake at all because i love what disney is doing that's just my honest unpopular opinion but i respect everyone's difference opinion some love it or it some hate it
"Wokeness" is capitalism commodifying social issues/ movements.
Duh...
If you want to get mad, realize that capitalism is doing this to you.
Massive duh...
Well..... It's their money to lose
I like the super Mario games
Live action Mulan was pretty awful. It was devoid of the animated version's charm and expressiveness.
Halle is very beautiful and sings very well, I just can't think of anyone else who sings as well as she does, can you? Ariel is characterized by her ethnicity for sure and I didn't like the change either, but I know I would hate an actress who sang badly even more, even if she was white and redheaded
And the story remains the same, she even remains a redhead in the film, so why pick on her color? let's pick on relevant things like the bad CGI and the animals were really bad
I've talked about the animals, the bad cgi and dumb choices they're making to the original story in previous videos. No one has a problem with the actress herself, but she was cast in a role that she doesn't fit in and Disney knew damn well what they were doing when they cast her as Ariel, they're the evil ones putting Halle in this situation. But no, she's definitely not the best singer out there (not saying she sings bad). But Disney's lying if they're claiming that they picked her because she sings so good, they picked her because it was their plan to raceswap her from the start, like Hollywood is doing with all white redhead characters nowadays. There are hundreds or even thousands of pretty young white actresses and singers they could have and should have picked, but Disney wanted to virtue signal and check all diversity boxes to get a good ESG rating to receive money from investors (like BlackRock). They don't care about accuracy or the fans, it's all about the money.
@@nyrion_ so name some white and redheaded actress who sings as well as Halle, I honestly don't know. And she's still a redhead in the story, so she just changed her skin color and I can't see how that could be negative since her color doesn't change the story. In addition, I thought that the actress brought a vibe similar to the original Ariel, curiosity, innocence, in short. The point is, Halle fit the role perfectly, she's pretty, she sings well, she acts well, they could have even chosen another black woman in her place but they chose her, that's for a reason. Does she not deserve to receive the role for the simple fact that she is black? I also think it's bad that they keep changing the physical characteristics of the original characters to meet an ideological agenda, I wish this had happened just because of Halle's natural talent and not for financial interest
I'm sure that Flounder picture is confirmed fake.
Maugli was not that bad...
Ariel looks and sound great in the new movie. If you spend your time worrying about what colour a mermaids skin is…. You need to get out more.
It doesnt matter if she looks or sounds great, its supposed to be a live action adaptation of the cartoon classic, and in that regard it's unrecognisable. The movie looks dull and soulless and Ariel doesn't look anything like she should. Disney is culturally appropriating a danish folktale and that's just disrespectful. In addition to the fact that they're only doing that so that they cater to african americans, get a better ESG score, virtue signal and so they're later able to blame all criticism of the movie on racists.
woke cope XD
Okay I agree with you for the most part. As far as the Disney princesses, you lost me there. The princesses who are of racial minorities like Mulan, Tiana, and Moana, their race is central to their story. The race of most of the white princesses is not relevant to their story.
His point is that they keep and keep skinswap white characters and that its OK to do but don't film devs dare to do that with black characters
Im truley hoping for wish that will come in late 2023 if it is not going to be a banger like tangled its ok at least make it avrage and dont let it flop im hoping for elemental too cause it looks avrage it is not going to be huge but im hoping it yo be avrage and not floppy i love amination and motion pictures and animes and etc.... my hope is high for the new movies not live actions cause after cinderella 2015 none of the live actions stay good 🙄🙄🙄 disney is woke and i hope it ends soon
Well there is a former colored character who turned white in later years and that's Daisy from Mario.
Could you tell me where this is? I want to see it. I’m not saying this isn’t legitimate, I’ve just never heard of this before.
@@dollminatrix1375
Daisy in the earlier years was portrayed with having darker skin. We are all use to the modern white version. You could probably find information by google searching.
@Anastasia's Secret What are you talking about? No we didn't.
animation movie roger rabbit 2
For a while, Peter Pan was played by a woman. Just saying.
Yeah for plays
@@elephantdanceparty7917 Peter Pan, Ariel, etc. are fictional characters. Race and gender should not matter when it comes to casting.
Race and gender SHOULD matter when it comes to casting. Those are the most important things alongside acting ability. The actor should resemble the character, otherwise if anyone could play any character, the industry would fall into utter chaos. Just imagining T'Challa played by Jack Black, Batman played by Melissa McCarthy or Cinderella played by Dwayne Johnson...
@Dark Dream Productions Okay, the gender thing makes sense. I hope you realize I didn't mean it was okay to have white actors play poc, though.
@@sadem1045 Ik that I’m just saying Peter Pan was traditionally played by young women on stage
Ngl Toy Story 4 was sad, like why couldn’t they just end it on a happier note ?
Ok Peter Pan is what y’all see as “woke” given the female lost boys. But honestly Little Mermaid is such a good presentation on picking talent instead of based on how they look when a characters race or ethnicity has nothing to do with her plot or her goals in the story. Halle also has a look to her that’s beautiful yet other worldly perfect for a mermaid. ALSO her voice is perfect for Ariel, that’s what they specifically casted her for not to be “woke” but her voice
WRONG DISNEY'S LIVE-ACTION REMAKE LOL
I agree with many of your points but Toy Story 4 was hardly a disappointment. That movie rocked. Audiences and critics loved it.
I don't care what anyone says.
Ariel being black: 🤷♀ Meh, I guess.
Disney making a story about a whole new mermaid with new adventures, creative villains, universal themes, and the mermaid just happens to be black: 🥳🥳🙌🙌Take my Money!!🎉
The latter. I've said this ever since Disney started this whole "let's race-swap to make others feel included --- when they never asked for it". Want a black mermaid? Create a new character. Don't overwrite what's already written. That's just lazy. The biggest problem is that Disney has made new films recently (Strange World), but they don't do well because the "masses" would rather pay to see trashy remakes done wrong. We must stop funding this garbage.
cant films just be fun respectful of course but too pious ax
yall are so annoying. just bc ariel is black, it's a woke movie? what about it is so woke. how is her being black "politically correct"? its the same damn movie just with a black main character. if yall really cared about the race of the characters, yall would be shaking in yalls boots if they made Ursula black but ik you guys probably wouldn't even bat an eye. what yall should really be worried about is the downfall of disney due to their obsessiveness with sequels and live action remakes and them being mediocre at best but yall are worried that the movies are getting too "woke"
its proof that theyre just racist white ppl who want to be oppressed so badly. they think everything new is considered woke. ariel is a fictional character with no nonfiction historical background, so why the fuck does it matter if shes black? "oh nooo our disney princess doesnt have fire red hair anymore!!! the woke gen z are at it again!" they sound goofy. disney was not inclusive at all back in the days, and while i agree that they should stop making live action remakes, its because its annoying, not becuase of the "wokeness." these people need to get over themselves. they think making white characters black is racist and its honestly so funny how they think THAT is considered racism.. that doesnt come close to anything black ppl went through and still go through today. they need to stop whining and worry about bigger problems than fictional mermaids having a different skintone.
also, they would NEVER argue or fight this much about disney being blatantly racist and homophobic. disney had none or barely ANY lgbtq or poc characters up until recently (they still have no lgbtq ones tho) and they didnt bat an eye. it proves they only care about things like this when it benefits them, these wannabe oppressed old men lmfao. watch them call us racist against white ppl after this.
Don't pretend people nowadays don't find movies racist if a movie doesn't involve a black character
Because as hard it is to believe, it sadly has come to this day
Anyway, Halle does NOT have to be the reason why little mermaid isn't liked
People are just tired of live actions in general, hasn't to do ANYTHING with Halle
But people are just looking for a reason to shame white people
"Racism is one sided and whites can't feel it" btw
I just want Ariel’s red hair. I don’t care what race she is. I just want the hair D:
@@jujufoxie.-. i get that. i was also pretty disappointed bc of her hair but i still think the movie is gonna be okay regardless
