    Even the fucking cartoon version isn't snow white, she's ruddier than a Cornish lass after four pints of cider!

    Yeah it must be the "blackwashing" responsible for that and not having parks and movie theaters shut down or their streaming service losing money or any of the shenanigans with Florida as the reason they're losing money.

    No, it's Black and Brown casting. :marathon:

    Also, can we change this fucking thread title? Last I checked, trolling wasn't allowed in MC.

    There's a stand-up comic by the name of Brad Williams, who is a little person. In an appearance on Christopher Titus' podcast some time back (no, I'm not linking to it because I'm tired, and search engines suck ass these days) he said that folks in his community were all excited when they heard that Tim Burton was going to be remaking "Willy Wonka," only to discover that they cast one actor in the role, and just CGI'd duplicates of him to play all the other Oompa Loompas. Needless to say, they weren't happy about that.

    You should be able to, so long as you're not going to engage in some shitty race baiting in the process.

    Now we can finally discuss the real reason Federal Farmer is upset about the movie, which is that the 14 year old animated character he wanted to fuck before will now be portrayed by a 22 year old woman. How's he supposed to fantasize about that?? :(

    I didn't realise the name I changed wasn't the original. :unsure:

    Looks like the edit history doesn't show title (I guess without properly reverting the thread)

    Being half-Belgian, and a quarter Hungarian, I literally don't give a fuck.

    I'd suspect @Aurora and @K. wouldn't either.

    If you're so concerned about European culture being culturally appropriated, I trust you're ready to clutch your pearls when it comes to Japan, who love taking European culture and spinning it into their media. You should take issue at Super Mario Bros. Or at Zelda. Final Fantasy (XIV makes heavy use of Roman, Russo, Grecco, and mediviel imagery on top of the standard Tolkeinesque fantasy tropes and has started incorporating Indian elements as well). Better get onto your mechanical horse to properly white knight for Europe.
    Hell, Japan and China both have looked at Western Classical music and have taken to it as their own, producing their own symphonies for example. I wish India would do the same, but the lack of music programs in Secondary education precludes that.

    This is a nothing burger on a nothing plate.

    Have you seen the Bollywood version of Pride and Prejudice? It’s actually really good.

    From the shitty link...

    "It doesn’t need to be brought into line with our new, Twitter-driven Hays Code".

    1. "Minx" has dicks. So long as "Minx" has dicks, we aren't under a fucking Hays code.
    2. No one stops Pureflix from cranking out its evil swill. So long as Pureflix is a thing, we aren't even under a "reverse Hays code".

    This really is about the cross burners are pissed Disney doesn't cater to them anymore.
    Die angry.

    Is this thread still going?

    Anyway, I did some napkin math. (Yes, math is forbidden in the Red Room but this was originally a Media Central thread.)

    The 2023 version of The Little Mermaid has grossed $550-million worldwide so far.

    The 1989 version grossed $220-million worldwide, which works out to about $460-million adjusted for inflation. And in 1989, we didn't have the interwebs, streaming services or entertainment options we have today.

    Corporations are about profit. Anyone think the Disney bean counters are doing the calculations and realizing that appealing to a broader audience is good for business?

    :thinking:

    But I was told "go woke, go broke" by several large men with Confederate flag profile pictures. How can that be incorrect when it rhymes and everything? :bergman:

    Agreed.
    I don't care who they cast either as I'm not seeing it regardless. I really don't care to see a redo of an old Disney movie, but more power to those that bring their kids to see it. Different strokes for different folks.

    For me, I'd be far more interested in these old stories if they went back to the original source material and made it more true to book form. Id love to see a proper adaption of Pinnochio as IMO Disney really sanitized it and made it bland. But that would require a different studio and would probably be rated PG13 or R, which would lose the kids.

    Are you fucking serious? To be 100% completely honest? No. I can certainly imagine a few people might raise a stink about it, but my black ass wouldn’t give a single, solitary fuck. Especially in this age of race swapping that’s going on.

    Here’s a question for you… for decades, 90-95% of people and culture depicted in Hollywood has been Lilly white and all of us black and brown people were expected to enjoy it. For the most part we did. We were told it’s weird not to.

    So why is this such a huge problem for you? Why can’t you just enjoy it just because 1 superficial detail has changed? Watching all those white people on TV taught me that even though we may do things differently here and there, all of us have way more in common than we think. Maybe, just maybe… all the race swapping is for people like you and not so much for people like us.
