Here we go.

Edit: To clarify, I'm using the general term for critic not a "professional who does it for a living" critic.

I knew that was going to be the case as soon as I saw she was cast.

Lets be happy that they picked someone attractive.

There is a combined total of 678 likes on the 7 tweets that was a reply to a tweet with 13.6K likes and 4.3 million views.

I really don't think 'random morons with a twitter account replying to a news tweet' counts as 'critics are saying she's not brown enough'.

Let's be real. Hollywood will always cast light-skinned people over darker skinned people. Even the Little mermaid actress is light-skinned black.

Thats not the claim.

Dark skin being seen as undesirable is not new nor a foreign concept.

Neither is wanting live action portrayals of characters to be accurate to source material.

Its not really an issue, but no need to blatantly misrepresent folks point.

But these arent critics nor do a sizable amount of people care, so dunno why TC made this topic.

Tbf, casting a light skinned person for a dark skinned character is a choice.

Being Hawaiin is definitely far better than most companies would do though.

I would be okay on films that didn't get critical acclaims and/or were box office bombs like the Black Cauldron because at least if the film is bad it won't be hurt as bad as doing a live action remake on an actual good film.

She's half Filipino and and half European, and was born and raised in hawaii.

Is that not good enough for the lead role? She has a lot of experience at her age, and kinda looks Hawaiian (at least she grew up there also), and considered Pacific Islander.

Edit: oh, not the lead role per SE. Not that it matters. How many Pacific Islanders/Hawaiians applied for the role and were decent? We'll never know.
