I dont have a problem with this. Its a play. Its up to thw director and the actors to interpret the script in their owns ways. I do have a problem with the disney mermaid thing but only because those are movies. Movies are a one off thing. Stop remaking the same movies with race swapped characters and instead make new movies that are inclusive.
It was a book, interpreted by Disney. There's no reason the characters had to be one race.
Well yes but at the same time the original little mermaid is Danish and from like the 15th century or something.
Ugh right?! Nothing at all like this Shakespeare guy from 16th century England!
So all the characters, including the fictional creatures, should be Danish? And speak Danish. And... Well, you get the idea.
Never said that. It jus tmakes no sense to call the new movie a remake if you change stuff around
Change what around? It was originally a book.
The new remake of their cartoon The Little Mermaid. I know it was originaly a book and the mermaid dies at the end.
If it was remade, it would have been a cartoon.
I hate to break it to you but mermaids aren't actually humans and their Vitamin D biology is probably completely different.
The actual crimes committed in the live-action remake is the atrocious colour grading and the script.
And the cgi animals and the fact that the king probably sleeps around as each of his daughters is so different from the others.
