The racist backlash to The Little Mermaid and Lord of The Rings is exhausting and extremely predicta

Yeah, I'm waiting for Hollywood to make a white Malcolm X movie - Talcum X.

 

Expecting rules to be reciprocal and apply equally to everyone is racist. Didn't you get the memo?

 

The point being is it would never happen. If they casted a white girl to play Storm in X-Men or a white guy to play Luke Cage (Power Man - Marvel) black people would lose their minds. So it's ironic since the people who say "who cares" would be the ones losing their minds if it happened the other way.

 

Oh I'm well aware it would never happen. That's the point. These people don't want equality. They are completely fine with discrimination, as long as it's white people that are the ones being discriminated against. The same people who say "who cares" to a black Ariel would absolutely lose their minds if there was a white Black Panther or a white Storm from X-Men.

 

Sure, some people probably would, and I'd laugh at them, too...

 

I’m not a racist yall. But I do want to move to Poland or West Virginia so I don’t have to live amongst brown people.

 

My opinion of what is going on with movies:

The 21st century iteration of the mob has a certain way of thinking about things. They have their oppressor vs. oppressed view of the world, and good stories are stories that agree with that view of the world. Therefore, the mob more readily receives and approves of stories where the protagonists are in the oppressed classes and antagonists are in the oppressor classes. Therefore, Lord of the Rings is not a good story because Tolkien depicts the protagonists and the antagonists in a way that the mob disagrees with. Also, Ariel being cast as an oppressed class is seen as an improvement to the story by the mob because Ariel is a protagonist. Good story telling that appeases the mob these days ought not violate the preferences of the mob relating to who should be a protagonist and who should be an antagonist.

The mob considers anyone who disagrees with them to be worthy of shaming for disagreeing with the mob.

 

Fair is not equal.

 

We can have a Samoan play aqua man and I wouldn’t care……

 

Many many reviews have come back from ordinary people that the movie is not good. Too murky. Too long. Just not a good movie.

 

It's still at 95% for audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes...

 

The Little Mermaid

 

Feel free to read some of the reviews from families that went to see it
Too long
Too violent
Bad songs
Terrible lighting
Is it a complete flop? No
Is it good? No.

 

You linked to the old one... the new one has 95% audience scores, but the critics are harder on it, 68%.

The Little Mermaid - Rotten Tomatoes

 

I am amazed at how often the audience gets it right. When you look at the rankings, it is hard to argue most of those high ratings. Are there outliers? Like everything.

 

The REAL reason the right is freaking out about mermaids. From a Trump event at the Miami Trump Doral where Eric Trump also spoke last week:

 

Also explains the attack on CRT re: Wakanda Forever

 

Anyone who takes the time to consider this statement is not normal.
No offense.

 

Dude, you miss the mark consistently. I’m impressed.
