The fact it was called Peter Pan & Wendy was pretty revealing. They just can’t have a male lead without surrounding him with a more capable woman. Also the worthless media white knights praise this as usual
The did it with Ariel and it looked like a shitty attempt to make things look like they were underwater, but why is this gray?
Is this Disney art directors' strategy to make blacks palatable to white audiences? By desaturating everything to the point that their skin resembles whites in dim lighting?
Me too. The movie hit me at a very personal level. I had just left my ailing blonde sister to go to college. The movie made me realize she would be ok.
In the last decade Hollywood completely forgot how to light movies, and they also forgot how to mix audio so you can hear characters talking. Zoomers watch most of their videos on 4 inch phone screens with earbuds so they don't really notice.
At least the trailer is honest about its wokenes and I can tell I do not want to watch it.
I'm more concerned with the D&D movie. While it is obviously woke, D&D has went so much in to diversity that it normalized female barbarians and more diversity in any settings then you can find in nighttime London that I guess people will just consume it as a "faithful" adaptation.
Maybe it's just me but I always thought Julia Roberts looked like an "older woman". A sexy red-haired older woman sure, but she never gave off cute girly vibes. So that made it weirder.
Now that I'm old she does look pretty young there, but I have to wonder if anyone my age thought the same thing at the time.
Agreed, you cannot capture Tinkerbell at ALL with live action, only animation ever did her justice.
I still can't get over that they now make her brown, she's like THE Disney icon I think of and always as a blonde fairy in a green dress. This just looks pathetic.
I love the part when the actress who played Wendy says in in an interview that she was so proud to be the first woman lead in an action film.
The part where Wendy decided that she identifies as a pirate and scheduled the surgery to cut off her hand and get a hook implant was stunning and brave. Such an inspiration.
I love the part where Peter Pan is teaching the children to fly, and Wendy says "He can fly!", then John says "He can fly!", and finally Michael, the youngest, says "Our society is based on systemic racism!" Brought a tear to my eye.
Loved the scene where Wendy says to Captain Hook "Did you know that despite being only 13% of the magical creatures, fairies commit 52% of the magic." So eye-opening...

They're failing to understand why Alice in Wonderland was a success 10 years ago.
The Johnny Depp one? Never saw it but I do read the book every few years

I expect the Drinker to endorse that one.
Well, it does have a certain "reputation" to uphold doesn't it?
Did they change her name to La wendy?
It's Tinker Bell, not Wendy. Wendy is now a white action heroine that can easily beat two savage men twice her size at the same time.
My bad, La tinker bell then.
Foreva!
Teenkerbel - Pronounced tinkerbell
Hot take: Fairies should never be live-acted. They should be Gollum-CG'd at the minimum, or even full animated with no human baseline.
Live-action Tinkerbell was weird and awkward in Hook, and it'll be weird and awkward here too.

she does have that older look, even when she was young

You can have people do it you just shrink them down with CGI? It's not that much different from motion capturing one.
Everyone should check out the comments on the official trailer on YT. Pure gold.
Gandalf is called the motherfuckin' white, too, and WotC made him black.
Elyan the White according to BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/2xQq2r3JzXcdtFXgYB5H3v5/sir-elyan
And she's supposed to be named Snow White due to her skin color.
