Just out of curiosity, may I ask why it would just be right-wing MAGA supporters who might wish to object to the makeover of THE LITTLE MERMAID? Or, for that matter, the changes made to the historical figure of Cleopatra in that recent historical "documentary" series? Racism and bigotry are like breathing to them.... Then the next obvious question is what's bigoted or racist about objecting to the changes made in THE LITTLE MERMAID or the alteration of historical fact in relation to Cleopatra? PS - I'm not currently in a position to either agree or disagree with your assessment of MAGA supporters... Although based on personal experience, I'm not inclined to disagree. However, I'd still be loath to hold them all equally responsible for any bad behaviour or consider them all exactly the same, as it seems to lack accuracy and nuance.

MAGAs are the ones who scream the loudest and most often. Makeover of a Mermaid? Are you listening to what you’re saying? I did not say a makeover of a mermaid, I referred to the makeover of THE LITTLE MERMAID, which is the actual film itself. It was a reference to the reboot, remake or whatever you wish to describe the new version as. Perhaps you should be the one listening to what I say. PS - Thank you for responding to my question, however, you didn't actually answer it. That was understood and makes your point no less ridiculous. You’re talking about a fictional character born of folklore. An animated character at that. Yet somehow you’ve determined a mermaid, if they did exist, happen to only be white. And I did answer your question. You just didn’t like the answer.

Sirens are in Greek mythology, dude. The movie was very good. It seemed set more in the Bahamas or some such. You will be sad that only 2 of King Triton's daughter were white. Sirens are Greek, yes. What exactly is your point? They are in the same family as mermaids. Water creatures that threatened sailors. The point, dude, is most seafaring cultures have mermaid creatures. A Chinese mermaid would not look like the Disney animation of Ariel.

It opens May 26th. What are you waiting for? Perhaps all of you are decompressing after the long hard fight over Cleopatra. Not saying your upcoming head explosions aren’t justified. After all, everybody knows mermaids are white. Just out of curiosity, may I ask why it would just be right-wing MAGA supporters who might wish to object to the makeover of THE LITTLE MERMAID? Or, for that matter, the changes made to the historical figure of Cleopatra in that recent historical "documentary" series? So you object to Triton only having 2 white daughters & the other 5 having darker skin tones?

In the view of him and his ilk, if something was EVER portrayed as white onscreen, then it must remain white....

Maybe it's because Cleopatra was actually a real person? More important. Anyway, as always it depends on if people want to or not obviously Childish Gambino said this as a joke but I would like to see Michael Cera play the titular character in the next Shaft now. No biggie right? Also let's have a Beyonce biopic where the singer is played by a white transwoman lol. Caitlyn Jenner? Can I get an amen? What a dumb argument. Shaft is not real and Beyonce has no doubt as to her ethnicity. Fail. You are just butthurt that a white shaft would never get greenlit.

The original was crap and the people complaining about it probably agree with me....they just want an excuse to attack black people....the right wings favorite past time. You hated the original. You sexist pig! You remember it? Watching this, I was totally lost on remembering the original. My kid's first Disney movie in theater was Aladdin. Back then Disney slid their animated films in & out of "The vault" So my kid was 7 when it was released on dvd/video again. I may not have watched it. So you are that devoted to a Disney animated film you probably were not the target audience for? So 140 out of 240 gave it a positive rating Over 2375 audience members out of 2500+ gave it a positive score.

Ive now reported you to the FBDI. Federal Bureau of Diversity Investigations PS: Youre absolutely correctamundo. Im so butthurt about white Shaft never being able to be greenlit. Are there any creams or ointments that you can recommend?

The point, dude, is most seafaring cultures have mermaid creatures. A Chinese mermaid would not look like the Disney animation of Ariel. No, a Chinese or African mermaid wouldn't look like Ariel. Ariel is Northern European, so what do you think she would look like if she was real?

They are already planning to do it with Moana, which isn't even 7 years old yet!! They're being lazy, but they know the faithful Disney fanboys will flock to see it.

After all, everybody knows mermaids are white. Not a MAGA but I'll give you a protest anyway just to humor you. I'm against it. There. Satisfied?

We’re only protesting to trick you into watching it as a counter-protest. Enjoy!

And I did answer your question. You just didn’t like the answer. 1. Where have I ever claimed that mermaids - should they exist - can only be white? I'll wait while you search out that specific statement... 2. I originally asked why would it just be right-wing MAGA supporters who might wish to object to the changes made in the remake of THE LITTLE MERMAID and you responded that MAGAs are the ones who scream the loudest and most often. While this might be a somewhat accurate or even amusing description of how MAGA supporters might react, it completely fails to address my original question of why they should be the only ones to have an issue with the remake. I think your preconceived opinions and personal prejudice on the matter has blinded you to the question I actually asked... a question you still haven't answered, despite your inaccurate assertion to the contrary.

Ariel is Northern European, so what do you think she would look like if she was real? Thor is a redhead. Gonna scream about that to Marvel? The only reason Disney made Ariel a redhead was they didn't want another blonde princess at the time. She is fictional. She could be green or Grey or blue skinned like other fish

A lot of people claim it is to know Keep the copyright. Before the film started there was an ad pitching Little Mermaid product on screen. Free shipping over $75! They are all about product. Memorabilia. Like Trump & his endless scams Or preachers selling their magic healing water or whatnot. George Lucas bragged he made more off toy sales than Star Wars.
