>Melissa McCarthy would be taking on the role of Ursula the Sea Witch I'm glad that Disney is just phoning in these remake and make it clear it's for copyright renewal, Melissa McCarthy could never put a finger on Patricia Ann Carroll's performance. youtube.com/watch?v=Gi58pN8W3hY

>Is this a common thing? Dude, where have you been the past 10 years? Redheads have been systematically replaced with blacks (ALWAYS BLACKS) in all forms of media, one after the other.

The obvious problem is simply that there are no more natural redheads in Hollywood.

"Always" was hyperbole. There are 4 examples of a ginger being recast with a blonde/brunette/baldie. Meanwhile, there are 16 examples of a ginger being replaced by a nog-monster.
