Why?

The original animated movie by Disney is what people are nostalgic for, and is what is driving their expectations.
As if they knew the original story before just a few weeks ago anyway lol. "Read tHe OriGinAl bRo!"

These studios are quite clever. Change an iconic figure to be black/female/trans/gay or any other attribute to reflect the changing times, but don't bother putting any effort into the movie itself.

That way, when people complain about the movie being shit, the studio can say "ah, see, you don't like it because you're racist/sexist/bigoted" etc. It negates someone's criticism from being taken seriously even if the movie does in fact suck.

Look at all these sequels and remakes that are being made, just soulless heartless cash grabs riding the coattails of a nostalgic title

There are browser extensions for it. Google basically just lazily ripped out the "show the number" part of the code so it is pretty accurate as well (though there is a bit of glitchy funk as depending on random caching it might drop the dislikes down to 0 until it recaches the video).

True lol

Also humorous thing is, I doubt the defenders would even like the original story anyway.

Idk, but aside from the fact that they go through new accounts on an insanely frequent basis due to going out of their way to having deliberately vile opinions, their claim to "fame" here was posting a shock image of a mutilated child.

There is no way some of these troubled users here are stable individuals irl...

How about creat an unoriginal character instead of changing one thats well established and incredibly iconic.

That is literally what Disney did when they did the first animated version.

To be fair, a large portion of those dislikes may come from those who have disliked all the prior live action Disney remakes.

If every single dislike from every other Disney film was a unique person and they all collectively disliked this movie that would only account for a bit under 300k of the 3 million dislikes (though, as mentioned, the vast majority of that 300k comes from Pinoccio and that is the other Disney remake with a black character in it). So even in this scenario it is still pretty irrelevant in the grand sum to assume that.

The only fair assumption is that it is overwhelmingly racist chuds making the votes.

I mean this movie would suck regardless of whether or not Ariel's white, black, or a green Shape of Water looking thing, the color looks absolutely hideous, the singing CGI fish are going to look like shit, and I just can't wait for Melissa Mccarthy's butchering of Poor Unfortunate Souls.

SMAL is a creature of habit, so going off those habits and what little I know of 462 (which is nothing), the answer is no.

See, all these racists are missing the point. The movie's gonna suck, but... not because ariel's black.

It's gonna suck because all these live action remakes suck. All the underwater scenes are gonna look washed out, to try to be realistic. Sebastian, Flounder, and the eels are gonna be the stuff of nightmares, because there's no way to make a realistic looking talking crab be anything less than nightmare fuel. And shrill as hell Melossa McCarthy screeching Poor Unfortunate Souls will be the worst thing to happen to the song since the Jonas Brothers.

Fuck, Halle Bailey is probably the best thing in the movie. At least she has the pipes to carry the music.

Why don't they make something new and original, then they can have as many black people as they want and nobody should care.

When they remake an old movie its literally like, "I can't wait to see which characters they're gonna make black to fit their contractual quota". It's disingenuous af and shits over predefined characters.

No, the trailer does not officially have 3 million dislikes.

Youtube has removed public access to the dislike data. There's a browser plugin that counts its own dislike ratio from its own users, and scales that number up according to the public numbers.

It's safe to say the sort of person who goes out of their way to install a plugin to dislike youtube videos, are more likely to dislike them than the average user. So these plugin users are not a representative sample of the total audience.

This was only the case for a few weeks. Dislike was removed from the public API about a month after the button disappeared. The plugin did scrape and archive the old numbers, but videos uploaded after Dec 13th 2021 only have estimates based on the plugin users itself.

Disney has always told fairy tales for kids, numb nuts, why would people be upset about that. Its about changing an iconic character that people grew up. How about creat an unoriginal character instead of changing one thats well established and incredibly iconic.

This. But this is the same people who were shitting on Will Smith in Aladdin and then that turned out to be his top grossing movie of all time. TLM is going to do well, why? Because it's for kids.

Just because you have no respect for the original story, doesn't mean the rest of us don't. I mean all these people are just upset because they "changed the story", right? Disney changed an awful lot by not having the mermaid die .

Oh yeah. Not even half the dislikes despite it absolutely changing the story for the negative. I wonder what the difference is.

The pandering and controversy are stupid but we all know this movie is going to be shit, like every single live action remake they'vre made. Why are people defending this crap? The same people who want to eat the actual flesh of Jeff Bezos suddenly become literal corporate shills as soon as it gives them a chance to attack people they perceive as "the enemy". Everyone needs to grow up.

What pandering? To little girls who like mermaids? Or nostalgia pandering?

Sure the live version remake probably won't be as good, but this one is getting an unreasonable amount of hate for bad reasoning. Look above and see that no one lashed out against Mulan nearly as much.
