How is that second pic anti-Black? Are you not supposed to point out that out of all minorities, Black people have the most representation? I think a less represented minority is allowed to complain about that.

I'm not really sure what the problem is here. Dude said people saw Aladdin multiple times which is how it made a billion. Then said that might not happen with TLM but said it will probably do well enough to get a sequel. Then pointed out levels of minority representation in Hollywood, including the one he belongs to.

People just want to fucking screech about shit.

I think Aladdin did great because Disney live adaptions weren't awful just yet. I don't remember clearly and I don't feel like doing any research, but I think Aladdin came out not too long after Jungle Book and Maleficent. Since then, though, I feel like people are really cooling off on all these live adaptations as we're realizing the quality is getting pretty bad.

But still though, I don't understand how that Tweet is controversial. There's significantly more black-led media out there in comparison to other minorities along with much more blackwashing.

It came out much later in 2019.

This post makes no sense, not only was aladdin nearly the last one before the pandemic, all those crappy live action movies were billion hitters.

Hell the only one that was kinda surprisingly good, jungle book, is the only one that probably didn't hit 1 billion but I'd have to check

The Jungle Book started the trend, and it might actually be the best adaptation of it.

Nothing about the initial post or any seemed anti black (the billion dollar mark thing with Aladdin). I probably wouldn't make a comment about another Disney movie but reach a billion, after bragging about yours reaching that, but w/e.

Also his reply about black representation isn't false.

It does seem overblown.

People really forget there was a live action Cinderella . Probably because Cinderella adaptation movies are a dime a dozen.

But more importantly I think that garbage character-ruining maleficent movie is what may have given Disney the idea to do these.

The problem is, remaking already perfect Renaissance movies (and in the case of the garbage live action lion king, almost shot for shot) is just so artistically bankrupt it almost crosses over into immoral lol.

However, remaking average movies that could do with a remake (ie, jungle book, which was just a very basic kids movie from the 60s) while actually surprisingly paying attention to the source material and adapting it to modern day (Rudyard Kipling's story is basically man vs nature as told through the eyes of mowgli and fire) is how you make a movie that's actually really good. It explores new avenues that are actually worth exploring and you end up with a surprisingly good movie

That along with beauty and the beast are tied for the most shitty adaptations ever. There's not even one out there that properly adapts the originals. Everyone always gotta put their own spin on it.

nah beauty and the beast was a great adaption because it gave more focus to the servants themselves and fleshed out Belle a bit.

Plus not a bad song so Im gonna disagree here, its probably the best live action adaption.

Let us be honest.

Aladdin was only success because:
1. Jasmine actress really hot
2. Will Smith

Doubt anyone care about it otherwise.

Blue Will Smith tho :D
