LethalAffinity 07/04/19 3:37:55 PM #1:	I'm still not sure what to think with this whole "casting non white people in white roles" thing. Honestly in this case I'm not a fan. Ariel the Little Mermaid is iconic for how she looks, and mermaids are distinctly European folklore. The original story is German Danish. As far as I can tell the only reason to cast a non white person in this role is to look 'woke'. Especially since there are already so few roles for gingers, and ginger hair often leads to bullying. I think a much better idea is to create stories about PoC instead of commandeering stories about white people. Moana, Black Panther, that kind of thing. --- https://imgur.com/Sv19SP4 https://imgur.com/esZpDkI https://imgur.com/tdtzIvW https://imgur.com/E0O1koZ <cite>LethalAffinity posted [p:924245093] in Ariel shou...

Skye Reynolds 07/04/19 11:19:46 PM #35:	To be fair, it can't realistically be said that The Little Mermaid has had one appearance. She had her own animated series, a straight to video sequel, an appearance in Wreck-It Ralph II, and multiple appearances on Disney's House of Mouse. She's also a regular for merchandising. The thing is that this movie is not the same Ariel you grew up with in the same way that Aladdin is not the same version you grew up with or The Jungle Book is not the same version that you grew up with. It's a new take which is meant to deviate from the source material rather than replicate it in live action. And for what they're going for, there's no harm in changing her appearance a bit. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:924261585] in Ariel shou...

But that's just my honesty speaking. -However, even if I care a lot about a character's looks it's not the end of the world. I simply won't see the new movie if I am really that concerned about her looks. I would cherish the original movie more if that's the case. -Though, I've developed more of an open mind these past few years and am willing to give movies a shot no matter who the actors/actresses are and what they look like. As someone else said, anybody can play any role. -And I think the tweet posted made a good point: it's about time to have more black leads when white leads have been dominating the industry for so long. That's just how I honestly feel about this situation. --- Super Smash Bros.

ElatedVenusaur 07/04/19 11:46:50 PM #45:	They have humans play aliens all the time, even though Bjork is right there. I literally can't see the problem here. Ariel is a fictional character in a fictional universe, and it is not as though Disney is planning to scour the animated classic from the face of the Earth. They cast a black woman to be a mermaid. Deal with it, cupcakes. <cite>ElatedVenusaur posted [p:924262376] in Ariel shou... [t:77840497]...</cite> <quote>They have humans play aliens all the time, even though Bjork is right there.

Darmik 07/04/19 11:48:24 PM #46:	Tbh I'd be surprised if Rapunzel is ever changed from a blonde white woman. It's not a very flexible concept. Stuff like Cinderella can be told in almost any setting. Mermaids are from a fictional underwater world that can be interpreted in a massive amount of ways. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:924262420] in Ariel shou...
