Is this really a pattern or am I just paranoid?
I was watching the trailer for the upcoming movie “Sinners” and some right-wing comments are saying that the movie is DEI. The movie is new with new and original characters. Isn’t that what they said to do?
While mermaids are fictional, The Little Mermaid is a story by Hans Christian Andersen where he describes the Little Mermaid with white skin and blue eyes.
I was annoyed where in Avengers, the ancient one was cast as a white woman when the original character was Asian. I would have been extremely pissed if Black Panther was cast with a white actor despite Black Panther being a fictional character.
Yeah but he also described her as blonde didn’t he? At least she’s blonde in most non-disney adaptations. Why was it okay for Disney to make changes to the character and story in 1989 but not now?
I mean, those are portrayals of humans with backgrounds that have some relevance to their character. A mermaid is just a fish lady who cares what they look like the important part is they are part fish
