The Little Mermaid (2023)

They did originally go with a white actress (but not red headed)
To bad she dropped out

Hey if they want a black character in the movie they can cast Lesie as Ursula, they're practically the same.

And we thought Netflix was bad at casting lol

eh, I can't imagine her having been particularly good in that role either.

I feel like this wouldn't have been as big of a deal if they cast an attractive black actress.

Shit might as well push the progressive line and cast a black guy to play Ariel, like Kayne or Terry Crews, have you sen him in the Old Spice commercials?

Like who gives a fuck. It's based off a cartoon about fictional creature (a mermiad). Not like a black person is playing the role of Mulan or Pocahontas(who was an actual real person). People are so uptight these days.

Lion King can't have Jeremy Irons as scar because its blackness is important, due to it being a "fairy tale from Africa" (Not really though, its an original property stolen from a Japanese Anime). Danish fairy tale from the 1800's though? Fine to culturally enrich.

People don't really give a shit of race mix and match. They care about the hypocrisy and double standards. 20 years ago ironically I wouldn't have cared about this, but the amount of grief everyone has gotten because some stupid Egyptian God is white, or other fictional figures like Avatar ended up being white, has made it so ignoring the hypocrisy is a beyond the pale for most people. Don't piss on my head and say its raining, don't claim this isn't allowed in one case and in another case with the SAME context its an example of justice.




And I'm not sure if you guys realize...Its 2019, being colorblind isn't "woke" anymore, its racist.




So you fellas need to start noticing the color of these brave, beautiful people--stop white supremacy.

Looking at this picture does not make me think of a wholesome Disney. She makes a very nice mermaid.

If she actually had the role locked up and then dropped it, something is seriously wrong with that girl and good riddance. This is not a role you just give up to do self assessment.

It's not like beauty and the beast revitalized Emma Watson's career, or like Aladdin did anything for the people in that movie.

I can think of several reasons why Chloe grace Moretz dropped out and we've been discussing them in this thread
