But gingers have no souls, why does it matter if they get replaced.

It's a story about a Greek ocean god and his daughter that was written by a Danish author and that took place in Europe in the 1800's.

If they want to adapt the story and make it about an African ocean god and bring in elements from African mythology, that would be interesting and it would be something that a lot of people haven't seen before. If they're just going to do the same movie except now they have a Black actress, it seems like a missed opportunity.

Niggers don't have souls either, but at least I can fap to gingers

Just do what I do.
Actively ignore it.

If you seriously care about this, either for it or against it, you need to kill yourself

It's not even racism. This board has long hated the live action garbage from Disney and they can't even make a faithful adaption of the original if they are trying that trash. Thinking this isn't a good choice doesn't mean people hate blacks

>Halle Berry

This isn't even a race thing, she is just the worst.

What if you fucking hate Disney and this is one reason, but not the only reason? And you want to see Bob Iger strung up on a lamppost for multiple reasons, this among them?

But black people cant swim

I'm surprised that he doesn't have a blue checkmark

Or not adapt anything at all and just make an entirely new story about a black mermaid girl. I wish there were more new stories. Everything is a sequel remake or adaptation these days.

and yet here you are

>alt-right gets angry over a movie they weren't going to see either way

That's how you earn one.

I did not want to see too

but but I stayed interested to see after this

From a soulless corporation standpoint this casting is weird because it’s going to conflict with the Disney Princess brand version of Ariel who’s a ginger

>he said on Yea Forums, the board for posting about cartoons and comic books

You're all grown ass adults, stop caring what Disney produces. If you have kids, it's one thing. Take them to something else. If you don't, grow up.

controversy sells, if there's anything to take away from 2016.

Not really though. Disney will still sell and promote the toon version of Ariel for way longer than the live action version. The movie will come out, there will be dolls based on the live-action cast, then Disney will move on to the next life-action movie merch, But toon Ariel will live on forever.

What does the checkmark mean? I don't deal with twitter shit.

Of course they are.
Why do you think they wont make another Forrest Gump?

This is a cartoon board
We care about animation as a whole

these same people not even one week ago losing their fucking minds because some guy drew fanart of the new pokemon trainer in a shade that was very slightly less brown than her official artwork.

What pisses me off the most is that he's just enabling Disney. All of their live action adaptations have been garbage, a white Ariel will not save this shit show.

>We
Don't kid yourself. You don't belong on this board, you fucking tourist.

white people mostly they will do anything to prove they're not racist

Yes.

From what I've been, the online backlash from this has been very small. But obviously some people somewhere are going to complain about it in stupid ways, especially on sites like Twitter or Facebook, which gives every idiot a platform to voice their opinions - not to mention places like here, where you can get away with saying pretty much anything. Companies (Disney especially) know this and capitalize on it all the time with their marketing: useful idiots/paid employees on sites like Reddit will look for these racist comments, then it gets pushed to the top of their sites so people can shame the racists/virtual signal/feel better about themselves/get internet points. This creates the false image that this backlash is indicative of a significant trend/movement, so instead of "a handful of racists are (surprise surprise) racist", it becomes "white people/incels/Trump supporters are leading a racist movement against people of color", which gets people incensed and Disney uses to sell tickets.

For the record, I don't have a problem with them taking The Little Mermaid and re-contextualizing it to taking place in the Carribean and casting accordingly - it's like how you can take Shakespeare and move his stories to different settings, because there's a universal truth to the narrative and you can move it anywhere and it'll work. Hopefully they take advantage of the difference in setting to do something unique - I don't think they will though, because that involves risk. Yes, if it was an African story recast with white actors, the people advocating for it would be livid. Yes, it's part of a trend of taking proven European stories and just making the characters black, rather than taking stories that draw from African mythology. Yes, it's another soulless cashgrab that's being made because Hollywood is creatively bankrupt. But it really doesn't matter. This won't supersede the original movie, and if it's anything like Aladdin, will be forgotten about after a week.

Is sad that we are on a point in history where companies have managed to trick people into consuming products believing its some kind of moral statement.

Whatever you believe to make you feel better
