None of this would be a problem if Disney had made a good movie.

But Disney didn't.

Zegler is a talented young actress and singer, has had notable roles already, and will continue to have a great career.

Gal Godot has been a great Wonder Woman.

Both are good, regardless of what they post on social media.

The script, production and whole concept of this movie had far worse problems than Zegler and Godot.

Creepy dwarfs? Cheap looking plastic jewels? Boring script? Bad dance numbers? Bad music?

Were Zegler and Godot responsible for all of those?

Releasing the movie to influencers would NOT have helped the word-of-mouth. You have to make a good movie to begin with for that to work.

The original movie was made very much with an audience from 100 years ago in mind. Boomers have nostalgia for it, so can’t change the script too much. Meanwhile, millennials are socially aware and see the problems with the story. Disney tried to make everyone happy, and generate a little bit of free press, and failed to make anyone happy.

This was a remake that should never have gotten off the ground.

The controversy: It's a terrible movie wrapped up in an intentionally controversial blanket so there's an easy excuse when it flops.

If you want a modern take on Snow White et al, here's the book for you.

The author takes all the Disney princesses and makes them evil. Snow White was so pale because she's a vampire. Cinderella is a witch who drives the poor Prince insane.

Why is Hollywood hell bent on not creating original IP ever again? It seems like every movie is either a sequel, a reboot, a reimagining, etc. Does anyone just sit down and say "Hey, let's create a brand new story with new characters and new ideas!"

Could it be that we are tired of seeing the same old stories with some "controversial" changes and then months of press complaining about people wanting to see or not wanting to see it?

It couldn't be my imagination that in the 90s there were way less sequels/reboots.

With all the "news stories" on the "controversy" surrounding this movie, I figured it was all manufactured drama to get people talking about it enough to watch it. If that's true it's a damn shame this is where we are in pop culture that even genocide is being used as a box office draw.

Apparently Gal Godot gives her worst performance yet as the Evil Stepmother.

Don't mention the Palestinians in Hollywood, simple

She’s finished.

Victory has many parents. Failure’s past is a sham
