I just discovered what was the "increased diversity" in these reviews of the Pinocchio remake. Jesus Christ.

On top of it all, apparently they changed story elements enough to remove Pinnochio's agency, basically, so that "nothing is his fault". When the whole point of the original was "poor choices have bad consequences". I mean, root beer, really? They seemed to have missed the entire point of Pleasure Island being a vice-trap.
Can you even imagine Disney releasing a movie that promotes virtue at this point?
Yes. If they thought it would be to their benefit.
They sure shut up in their opposition to the anti-grooming law when RDS smashed their glass jaw. Clearly, they can be brought to heel, and (metaphorical, legal) total war is called for against all these megacorps until they bend the knee.
One day our country will be filled with honest men and virtuous women again.
Who the fuck, black or white, wants to see this bitch as the fairy godmother?
If I was black, it'd annoy the piss out of me that hollywood has become obsessed with casting the ugliest africans they can get into roles where one would expect beauty or at least grace, thereby making them seem even uglier than than they are.
There's a million D-list wannabe hip-hop girls who are at least ghetto-hot, who would've killed for this role, and who got it? Some bitch who looks like a crack addict who lives in the subway utility tunnels.
That is very hard for black women. There are very few attractive black women. This is both the consensus and my opinion - I have not seen a black woman who is attractive without a significant admixture of other blood (at least 75%).
Some black men at least have some charisma and swagger to make up for it, but since black men are the white men of the black community, casting them isn't going to cut it.
Picture her in whatever style of fashion is to your preference and tell me she isn't at least a solid 6.
I respect everyone's taste, but for me personally, not in a million years. Like I said though, this is probably worse for me than for others when it comes to black women.
I definitely understand you, as I rarely find black women to be attractive, but there are exceptions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5IrwbE5_6M
Archery and long distance running. That's all I can think of where women can compete as well in sports type competitions.
I'd say more "vague 6" than "solid 6". The 6 exists conceptually in better conditions that are not this photograph, it isn't ruled out entirely, but you gotta remember this isn't school grades, 6 means "definitely above-average", the scale is averaged on 5, which I think is closer.
On a scale of what, up to 100? 👀
What is up with that hair though she looks like a Star Wars alien. Yeah 6 for an alien I guess. Some of them are cute.
Its mixture of either mud or butter they use. Apparently it used to be for warding off heat and insects, but now its just long traditional aesthetic for hair and skin (which is why they are red instead of black).
Which, considering anytime someone posts "hot tribal women" its that specific tribe, it apparently does work. Regardless of their place in general, they are always far above regular African hoes.
Still less insane than 17th century wigs imo.
She looks very European, skin color aside. Someone use Photoshop to lighten her skin down to a nice Irish glow, and I guarantee she'd look like any European, just with weird fucked up hair.
It's already a CGI character, she(??) was horrifying on purpose.
Same with asians.. they cast the most basic bitch asians in hollywood. If you compare asian actresses from asia vs asian actresses from usa, its a stark contrast.
Wierd, ugly ass asians..
I have not watched any new Star Trek since... uh, maybe the reboot films because the first couple I was wary and the third I was there while someone put it on. Anyway, I stumbled around a few rabbit holes on the fandom wiki and found out this is who plays Uhura in the new 'Strange New Worlds' show that is currently airing.
EW!
I bet she can't even sing.
And I mean sing, not rap.
"Hol up pochio, I'sa make you a real nigguh" nigablam
Oh no, my credit score!
They couldn't make Geppeto or Pinocchio, himself, black, so they make the surrounding characters black--or introduce new ones altogether. I'm sick and tired of obligatory black casts in all remakes, anyway.
They stripped out all of the components of the original story, especially the idea of lying being wrong.
And the end really ripped off the Incredibles.
How dare you make fun of Will Smith's wife.

They don't even bother trying to find attractive non-whites and I'm pretty sure it's deliberate.
Gollum in super saiyan god mode.
Can’t say I’m surprised. I’ve always meant to get the original story
That is female? Huh. I thought that was a dude. Nice ghetto acrylics, ho.
