Disney Live Action Little Mermaid

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

if you just want a suave bad-ass spy dude who can do the British accent, Cavill would work for sure.

I don't buy Cavill's British accent tho...

I'd rather they didn't muck with James Bond, though. Same with Clark Kent. And Bruce Wayne.

If anyone of those should be re-cast as black, it should be Batman.

A friend just sent this to me. Funny and true

I saw that one. Hilarious! Runs along the same argument that Young Rippa preaches.

All of these Disney remakes are ass anyway

It took a while, but I found this sewer thread’s gold nugget

I don't care all that much about the Ariel casting. It does seem a bit hypocritical that those celebrating this so heavily are so appalled at "cultural appropriation" in other contexts. It is a Danish fairy tale ... so somewhat connected to Danish and Scandinavian culture. And, it's generally a bad idea to overwrite cultural folklore for demographic reasons.

But, it's not that big a deal.

I'd rather they didn't muck with James Bond, though. He's an established character, with established traits. Same with Clark Kent. And Bruce Wayne. Etc. We need not remake every popular white character with a revised race.

The official statement from Disney owned channel freeform:

"Danish mermaids can be black because Danish *people* can be black."

And:

"Black Danish people, and thus mer-folk, can also *genetically* (!!!) have red hair."

No joking - this is quoted word-for-word from freeform's official Instagram. Woke for sure, but these are much stranger things than Stranger Things.

Oh I'm sure some Freak is thinking about posting something offensive, stupid or both.

In retrospect, I still take the one on the left.

Funny that his brother looked more like the traditional Aquaman then Aquaman himself. lol

At least Mamoa's casting wasn't driven by identity politics. That was just Snyder trying to move the character away from being a decades long punchline to a joke.

Yes, WB trolling people.

I think they wasted Momoa in a lame role. He was born to play Lobo. That's why I hate him as Aquameh.

Probably. By I've never read a single Lobo comic in my life and enjoyed Wan's AM flick so I'm good, lol.

 

[Ehollywood]

Another DC flip lol. People ended up turning around and liking the show and her in the role after giving it a try tho.
