I mean she's cute.
But redhead was pretty much Ariel's only defining attribute as far as I was concerned. But my opinion really doesn't matter as I probably wasn't going to watch it anyway now that Disney is going off Netflix. --- ........the ghost in the machine... IGN: Fox, FC: 5344-2646-0982 ...

Yeah this is like the one princess you don't race change. Aside from the fact I'm against race/gender swapping major characters, her bright red hair is what makes her character iconic. Only white people, and only a small percentage at that, have red hair. I'm sorry but black skin and bright red hair like that just won't look good if they keep the hair. And If they don't keep the hair, then what's the fucking point? Its no longer Ariel.

Not seeing what people's issue is.
She's purty, looks good in red hair... Only thing of "concern" is if she can act or not (I have no idea) but given how well everyone has been so far in their adaptions, to my knowledge, not really worried. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yes the actress looks hot, that still doesn't change the fact however that a black skinned woman with maroon colored dreads is not the same thing as a milky white white woman with flowing flame red hair. All the other Disney movies kept the races of the original animated movies, so why does this one need to be changed? Especially since this is the one character that shouldn't be changed because of the iconic look of pale skin with bright red hair. --- Now Playing: "The Hunt for the Two Missing Nintendo 64 Games" An expansion came out, but I'm still a third of the way through! ...

Okay and why should this bother me. This sort of thing has happened for as long as I have been alive. Besides it's a new version they should change things. There would be no point of this remake of it was exactly the same as the animated movie only live action. It's suppose to be it's own thing.
And yes my opinion is consistent no matter what the adaptation is. I actually want changes I want each version to do it's own thing. --- Feathered dinosaurs. I love feathered dinosaurs. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Don't be dense. 17th century Danes aren't gonna make their mermaids look Chinese. And it may have heavily diverged from the original tale, it still kept the setting and respected the original fairy tale. Aladdin was a Middle Eastern fairy tale, are you saying casting blonde-haired blue-eyed Norwegian as Aladdin wouldn't have taken you out of it? It's the same thing. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
