The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[tharpdevenport]

Yeah, the toxic Leftist culture of Disney keeps them from seeing the realities of their [wilful/purposeful/intentional] mistakes. In reality and Sanityville, Snow White wouldn't have been made and the script wouldn't have been approved. Hell, a pitch meeting might have been stopped mid pitch. But none of that happened.

So instead of having a Come to Jesus moment with Reality, they instead see the failures and success as a way to gauge making more live-action films, which will never be adequate. Pats on the back when they are right, more excuses when they are wrong again.

Meanwhile, Mr. Mouse is in the dark corner smoking like Cigarette Smoking Man from "The X-Files", not giving an F.

And those CGI abominations they called dwarves would not have happened.

The next generation does need Nightmare Fuel, though.

And short actors deserve work.

Every little bit helps.

Usually it's "get woke and go broke". But Disney manages to make enough from their non-pandering projects that they can keep at it.

Given that Moana and Tangled both pretty strong female protagonists, the controversy should be far less. As long as they don't hire Rachel Zegler again.

It's not about a strong female protagonist. We've had weak male leads, flawed male leads, even ones that were bad and got it in the end in films, same for women, it should be about the writing, the acting, he plotting, etc., not "Well, she's strong, woke, and 110 lbs and can hand a 250 muscle-bound man his ass."

But Reality is told to go see the special door marked Egress at Disney.

"The Little Mermaid", the cartoon, had a strong female protagonist. Yes, Prince Eric saved her at the end, but only after she'd saved his human butt twice.

The live action reboot, on the other hand... couldn't handle any amount of heroics from a male. And as a result, it expected us to believe that someone who couldn't handle a fork could precision-sail a ship.

And no, it wasn't about Ariel's skin color. I actually liked that change.
