Sphynx said 🔗 They fine with white people playing Egyptians, and Native Americans, who actually lived Soon as a black person get a fictional role they think whites "own", then it's time for this kind of neanderthal buffoonery

Exactly!!!

You have to be white

tiki mala said 🔗 I gave zero fu#ks that they made Gods of Egypt look like the cast of Seinfeld. Why? Because who gives a fu#k. It's a fu#king flick. If I want to see Egypt in the way I imagine it, I just watch Prince of Egypt. You want the old mermaid? Buy the old movie. Didn't like the casting? Don't watch. Problem solved. Weird people just want some sh1t to cry about.

sh1t looked like a cast of friends that sh1t was just as make believe as the little mermaid

Jonny2soxs said 🔗 Black people are falling for this BS You know the real reason they made her black

Of course: to sell merch. Why have 1 race when you can have multiplse races of the same character to sell to all demos...

Disney is all about selling merch. They made Planes/Cars all types of sh1t movies to just push merch. As a former corporate insider for the mouse yall don't know HOW MUCH planning goes into these sh1t movies just to sell merchandise.

This isn't so much a race issue than it is a capitalism issue.

I took my kids to the drive in to see it and there were hella white ppl there. So this is fake news

because we know what white folks do...... Don't we?!

Domo Uzamaki said 🔗 Disney pandering to their ego and morals Morals as on they never cared about black people being put into leading roles They using remakes ...never use a black girl for anything other than delivering a message about THEIR personal values The entertainment part is thrown out the window because they would rather loose billions then to make straight forward entertaining content The kids themselves don't even care past the midway mark Notice how kids only gravitate to the popular characters like spiderman cause he's a legacy character..Disney has nothing to do with the success of characters like Batman and Superman. None of their homegrown characters matter as much today

White people are enraged that she’s black. Period. Just because she resembled white first means they want her to stay that way.

We are talking about a fu#king mermaid!

Oh and look what I found when in googled “mermaid origin”

These racists can eat a d1ck

Syria ain’t redheaded cauasian

As a father of 2 black girls … I feel confident in saying …

You don’t know what the fu#k you’re talking about

I'd rather drink a Bud Light while walking through Target than watch that woke garbage.

1Oh said 🔗 Yep. Imdb always been a sh1thole. All of this foul energy over a singular interpretation of a public domain fairytale, out of 1,000s of interpretations. These ppls capacity for evil knows no bounds. That's how you know they're fully capable of all the anti-black atrocities we read in history books & see on the news today.

Same mafukkas that are okay with seeing Winnie the Pooh as a serial ki1ler are against seeing a Black Little Mermaid.

They are pandering to us they only turn white characters black to get more black people to see the film. I can understand why white people are upset because if they cast a white girl for a live action princess and the frog id be mad as hell.

Threads like these remind me Boxden is made up of mostly culture vultures

These why we need our own characters if its that big of a deal...

if we had our own culture and gate keeped, we wouldnt need the white race to keep giving out these symbolic gestures for approval. The disney stuff is forced anyway, i aint never watch a movie when i was alittle and say why Woody from toy story isnt black smh

"no swirling?"

Domo Uzamaki said 🔗 Wow again reading is comprehension also Disney uses Black girls for their own personal views. Not for the entertainment of their audience. Yet u turned that into me saying : I prefer white girls in leadong roles? Troll game on repeat. Y'all use that response far too much and it exposed you. Smfh And it's a corporation...what the f are u talking about solution? It's about how they see their bottom dollar fool. It's the same issue that has made Hollywood exactly what its always been The use of Black people for convenience, to drive profits. YOU and any other fool who's keeps trying to troll me with dumb takes haven't mentioned nothing About the success of Disney? I got one sheep talking about a soundtrack but nothing to the overhead. I got another sheep listing names of content that isn't stopping Disney from loosing billions. Disney is going cheap with the product, "but but soundtracks selling tho" loosing bags wit their Star Wars... Loosing bags over reshoots cause they sloppy... Loosing money manipulating the PoC angle .."but but but Disney did make a lead with a person of color" This shyt comedy. I'm talking the reactions to their business decisions and y'all mad ...like defending a corporation to the hilt mad.

So... Are you suggesting that Disney should not be having black female leads. I think we are all confused because you write a big wall of text that ultimately doesn't say much. Out of curiosity. What are the values pushed by Little Mermaid that is detrimental to black people that your suggesting?

Also, just a reminder, sometimes when you criticize someone's reading comprehension it might just be that you didn't write things very well or concise...

Every movie and TV show bombs when they have a certain quota to meet when it comes to casting. They are picking actors based off of their race or s3xual orientation instead of their acting ability.

Stay woke, go broke!

I'd rather little black girls sing the songs from little mermaid than what they're playing on the radio.

The concern trolling about "pandering", "princess & the frog", "disney is a mega corp--they don't need money" is thinly-veiled whining.

The movie is out, you can see it or not.

You and people like you are only hating yourself out of a great theater experience. It's lame.

Da Gooneyz said 🔗 What is the reason?

Uh... Sales my guy... This was a money grab and the target audience flocks to spend when influenced right and apparently the puppet masters know their string work well

White people are the leads in like 80%+ of movies released in theatres. There's a reason why people would be slightly annoyed if a black character was changed to white... It's because they already heavily monopolize all the lead roles.... If having a slightly smaller majority gets you angry then you may need to do some self reflection

This should be a meme immediately

Jay Elec said 🔗 Your sister knows that mermaids aren’t real right? And you little sister walked out of the movie and said “I loved that the mermaid had my same skin color”? Kids don’t even think like that- adults do. Not once as a child did I ever tell my parents I wanted to see a black Santa at the mall- I just wanted that n1gga(white, black or green) to bring me my presents

Duh Disney don’t have anything to do with Batman… nothing in your response made any sense. You just all over the place with no facts. I swear I don’t know if ya be trolling or if ya are really this stupid
