Let's not pretend anybody is watching Disney films for source fidelity. They gave Hunchback of Notre Dame a happy ending FFS.
Yes, it's just a troll, which is funny in itself. I just object to it because:
Instead, parachute behind enemy lines. Use the same tech on famous black heroes and historical figures to really drive home the absurdity of race swapping. Put John Wayne's face on Shaka Zulu. Replace Shaft with Clint Eastwood. Take the whipping scene from Roots and turn Kunta Kinte into Ryan Reynolds.
The Left will still scream, but satire will be so obvious that there will be no way to take it seriously.
Anyway, fuck Disney.
Well yes, but we've moved on from the old fable type source. Now Disney's The Little Mermaid is the source material to people for this movie.
That's not even on people either. Disney isn't redoing it from the original material to make a "similar but different" version (like Mulan tried to do), this is them adapting their own work again. So accuracy to source is a valid complaint.
I still disagree on point 1, but that's just our worldviews not being congruent and we won't come to an agreement there.
I do agree on 2, people need to stop hate watching garbage. Its especially bad because they prop up an entire industry of clickbait outrage farmers who watch it and obsessively talk about it. I liked a lot of people in the "Fandom Menace" at first, but they are an example of why this kind of thing is a problem and is being used against us to monetize our outrage.
