The_Popo 09/15/22 11:29:20 AM #7:	I feel like there are times that race/skin color can be important to the character, but much more often than not, it just comes down to the story and the smaller details. With Ariel, I think her red hair is the most iconic part about her (other than, you know, being half fish). And they nailed that. Also, she needs to look pretty young, since a major part of the story is Ariel being a youth who is rebelling against her fathers wishes. The actress nails that characteristic down as well. Her skin color is completely unimportant. Mermaids arent real, so theyre skin color is inconsequential. Another character that always comes to mind for me was the casting of Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin in the Daredevil movie. They got a big dude to play the role of Kingpin, and that was an important characteristic for whoever played the role of Kingpin, in my opinion. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The_Popo posted [p:968051420] in Which opti...

The Conqueror was shot on a former nuclear test site, and over 40% of the cast and crew developed cancer later on almost assuredly because of that.

ellis123 09/15/22 1:07:06 PM #50:	Nemu posted... I think there's legitimate discourse around race swapping Not really, no. Swapping a character's race matters if the act of them being a particular race actually has any bearing on the plot or messages portrayed in the media. Unsurprisingly there isn't a single aspect about any character that has had race-swapping (well, maybe some of the ones where the character has been made white...) where the race of the character was actually relevant. Heck, if anything the themes of The Little Mermaid are even stronger with the change as the entire point of the story was the conjunction of two entirely different worlds, something that is made even more explicit by having the characters also be a different race.
