And they race-swapped Astrid.

They really just won't learn.

Of course they did. This is the new "Astrid" BTW: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9135274/

Was America Ferrera, the VA for the films, too fat to play her now?

Wow, the only thing that doesn't look like dogshit is the cgi dragon. Because it looks like it did in the cgi movie. Why even fucking bother?

(Okay, the dad looks passable as well.)

and the dragon's cartoon big eyes aesthetic doesn't match rest of the the live action parts and ironically just makes the actor look like uncanny valley cgi

It will be a success.

Kids, including mine, like this series. They will want to see it so parents will take them to see it. There is also little to no competition.

Kids will be brainwashed in to thinking this is normal and not just anti-white hatred.

There is also little to no competition.

Isn't it too early to say that? I don't know how far in advance they normally release trailers, but I imagine there could be other movies announced between now and next summer that could compete.

I think the new Mario movie would be a good competition. I would assume there would be some noise for anything major being released.

Did Dreamworks just hire the executives from Disney that’s jumping ship? They should have learned live action just doesn’t work.

Literally, yes. The companies compete, the people working for them swap back and forth all the time.

No one wanted this. Why? I mean, the original was a fun cartoon, let it be. This one seems to be mixing a realistic look of live action bad actors with cartoony looking dragons. I don't understand who is the target audience supposed to be.

Are we sure that they're 'black' Vikings and not just colored black from all the soot of those fire breathing dragons? ;)

I didn't actually watch this trailer myself, so I've only EDIT: RElearned of the race-swap here.
It adds a fun layer to my Antz reference since they could use black ants instead of red to align with demands for propagation representation.

My necro senses were tingling, so I took a look back. This was our reaction when the casting news was announced about a year ago.

How did you find that? I found this one using this site's search engine with "dragon," but I wouldn't have found yours because there would be no matches in the title or link address.

I knew the post was there (as I made some dumb jokes in response), so I just had to look back through my comment history to find it.

No one wants random ni99ers in movies as the lead... these assholes have zero skills compared to the old school actors from +20 years agl.

The original movie's not even 15 years old and was likely animated for a reason.

Why was this necessary? Who asked for it?

Oh it's live action?

Live action - but mostly with CGI.

Also a negress as Astrid. You point that shit out to lefties, the come out that the voice actress is latina or some shit. Don't fucking care, she is supposed to be Viking.

Also the ending of trilogy pissed me off, so fuck this movie too.

They can't ever do live action Antz because they'd have to cast at least 2 overtly, nearly racist Jewish caricatures to maintain the characters of the original and its a movie preaching about individualism against communism, which would be anathemic to the people who watch this slop/
