Do not fucking see this movie. Do not waste your money on this. Period.

They made Nani give Lilo up to the American government. They made Nani LEAVE Hawaii and pursue being a marine biologist. They made a native Hawaiian character give up her sibling to pursue a dream that she originally did not have. This is imperialist propaganda at its FINEST.

The original fucking movie is about family staying together. It's about indigenous people being able to stay with each other and stay in their home and be together! That's the whole fucking point! Nani is Lilo's last living relative on her homeland—it is jarring, it is disgusting and disturbing that Nani would not only leave her last blood relative alone, give her up to the very government that is harming native Hawaiians TODAY, but also travel to the "mainland" for her dream!

Not to mention, Nani's actress isn't fucking Hawaiian. She's much paler in photos and real life. They fucking darkened her for this movie.

Don't even get me started on the transgender subtext of Pleakley's "human" disguise from the original movie being completely erased in favor of him being played by a regular ass white man. Jumba doesn't have his accent, they made him more villainous, and his "human" disguise is a non-fat white man—which part of his original joke, I know, is that he was bigger and was more clumsy in the movie because of his size, but to have the main shape of his character completely removed is also fucking weird.

This live action movie is a desecration to the original. I encourage you to not see it, please. Don't give Disney any of your money on this one. Just watch the original. Please just watch the original.

The new message in the live action movie is disturbing and gross.

To have Nani pursue marine science... isn't necessarily a bad thing if it was what she wanted in the original but her actual dream in the original movie was to b a professional surfer. She has surfing trophies in her room in the original movie!

surfing holds an extremely important role in Hawaiian culture its not simply a sport or past time. Surfing has roots of hundreds of years in Polynesia as a whole & in Hawaii specifically. In tht tradition u don't simply buy a board: u make it. You have to find a tree tht u feel is ur board & u make ur board yourself, that's without even mentioning tht these boards were often made from a tree considered sacred in Hawaiian cosmology

It was a native Hawaiian man, Duke Kahanamoku, who brought surfing to the world & dreamed of it becoming an Olympic sport. He's the reason Australians even know what surfing is much less how to surf. Tht board tht life guards have at beaches exists because Duke once saved every man from a sinking vessel with his surf board alone when the actual life guards had no way of getting out to the wreck bc of waves. The most prestigious surfing event is an invitation only event named for & honoring another native Hawaiian man, Eddie Aikau, who was both a phenomenal surfer & legendary life guard. There's a saying in Hawaii "Eddie would go" bc he would go out in the worst & most extreme conditions in his duty as a life guard when his fellow life guards wouldn't. To remove Nani from tht heritage not just by casting a white woman in brown face but abandoning her connection to surfing compounds the disrespect native Hawaii is put thru in this remake especially when the original movie was so respectful & caring of the native Hawaiian culture

A movie abt fucking surfing penguins is more respectful of surfing than this movie, don't give this movie money by going to see it & don't give it money by streaming it

The fact that they have apparently trashed all that makes me angry. Don’t even give the film the respect of hate-watching this.

Also where the fuck did marine bio come from? Don’t get me wrong, marine biology is one of my special interests, but like??? Nani has a poster of Duke in her room, one of her whole connections to David is that they both love surfing, she’s clearly good at it judging by the amount of trophies she has in her room, and why the hell would you go to California of all places when Hawaii has one of the most fascinating, diverse, and unique marine ecosystems AND they have some of the best marine bio and environmental programs available???? And some of the coolest conservation internships?????? AND (last I checked, at least, maybe this changed) PRIORITY AND SCHOLARSHIPS ARE OFTEN GIVEN TO NATIVE HAWAIIANS?????????

He is played obviously camp and dramatic, for a start, and there is the aforementioned "hate your hair/not likely/yikes yikes yikes/let me guess you have a great personality" summary dismissal of all his potential brides. Then he spends dinner asking Yzma about Kronk ("so he seems nice? He's what, in his late twenties?") and otherwise being slightly obsessed with him.

Then there is the whole Adventure of Doom with Pacha, him being ever huffy about the Kiss of Life, and then the restaurant gag where Kuzco takes to playing Pacha's fake wife and dressing up in ladies' clothing with great gusto (reinforced by the waitress' "bless you for coming out in public" remark when Pacha says they're on their honeymoon). Then when he is finally de-llamafied, we don't see him paired off with the obligatory girl from the lineup earlier, as might otherwise be expected in a Disney movie. Instead he is still single, but goes to found family it up with Pacha, Chica, Kronk, etc, which dare we remark is a very queer trope.

In short, I have no idea how a Disney movie with no white people (all the characters are Indigenous/people of color), a gay king, cross-dressing jokes, and the most offbeat plot of all time actually ever got made (can you imagine the Family Friendly Mouse doing that today? Let us also talk about Kronk because he is a brilliant deconstruction of both toxic masculinity and the musclebound henchman stereotype.) Other than that this was the Chaos Hour of animated movies in the late 90s/early 2000s, and yes.

Please, read this article if you have some time. This story is wild, and involves directors being pitted against each other Bake-Off style and a shockingly intimate documentary created by the wife of Sting who, himself was heartbroken by the decimation of the songs he wrote for the film including cutting a fantastic Yzma villain song sung by Eartha Kitt that is SO DAMN GOOD but would not ever have fit the more nailed-down Yzma we would eventually come to know and love. It’s so catchy though, I’m doubling up on calls to action but please listen now:

This is what the shooter looks like.

Gray jacket. Light gray backpack.

This is what the apparent suspect looked like the same day at Starbucks.

Green/brown jacket and black back pack

Notice lack of unibrow.

Luigi day of arrest.

Unibrow present and stubble on face/neck.

Why is this important? Because Starbucks guy doesn't have those.

Which leads me to perp walk luigi.

"Oh they must have a great barber lmaooo" no. Stop joking for a second. No one gets this treatment so why him? Because they are trying to make him look like the Starbucks perp. They think we are dumb and will forget shooter Mcgee doesn't look anything like Starbuck boy.

Luigi said evidence was planted on him like the gun and the manifesto.

I believe this because the manifesto praises the efforts of the policemen on like page one. Like they couldn't even not suck their own dicks for 3 seconds to plant compelling evidence.

Do not let these people fool you. Luigi did not do this. Even though it's funny, even though he's hot even though <insert myriad of excuses I've heard here>. Do not let them get away with brainwashing you into believing he did it even if you agree with what happened.

I'm pro UHC shooter.
