Some hot takes Iâve seen around about the little mermaid (2023) (this is not a âyou must like the movie at all costsâ post, youâre not bounded to like a movie but if you vocally hate it on social medias, at least give some valid reasons or else just say you donât like it, I donât even like all Disney remakes)
âIâve not seen the movie but from what Iâve seen on YouTube it looks like shitâ BRO WATCH THE MOVIE. Youâre judging a 2 hour long movie from TRAILERS and 30 SECONDS CLIPS. You think that qualifies you to judge the quality for the whole movie? Iâm sorry but no it doesnât! Most often, lighting and effects and even the script are not even final in clips and trailers. You can say it doesnât look appealing TO YOU, of course. You can say youâre not gonna watch it because it doesnât look appealing, OF COURSE. But you definitely canât say: this actor ruined the character. WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THE MOVIE
âThis will never be as good as the original movieâ people thatâs not a competition lol⌠those are new versions⌠theyâre meant to coexist with each other⌠You really think Disney wants you to forget about the original Ariel?? Rest assured Disney wants you to buy both dollsđ
âTheyâre cash grabsâ Yes they are. Disney is a business and makes money by doing movies. They found a way to make easy money, which is, remakes. People watch them, wether you like or not. Thereâs nothing inherently wrong with them, as long as they show respect for the original movies, which some did and some others didnât. That doesnât automatically mean each one of them is soulless or wholly made by people with no interest other than money (Alan Menken??? Put his whole???? Heart???? In every score??????), if you just watch some interviews itâs clear most of the cast is thrilled to be a part of this and loves the original characters as well, they really wanted to do them justice! Not all of them of course, but itâs the same for EVERY! MOVIE! EVER! Actors and writers do their job, that doesnât NECESSARILY mean the movie is soulless (again, some movie are, regardless of them being remakes!)
âThe CGI looks like shitâ man itâs a children movie⌠of course theyâre not gonna put Avatar billions into the crab 3D model
âHalle Bailey doesnât fit Arielâ Iâm sorry Iâm not trying to convince you otherwiseđ she looked and sounded like Ariel to me but thatâs my opinion ig
âItâs forced representationâ No itâs not, weâve all seen the black children reaction videos, this means the world to them, this is literally what representation is aboutâŚ
Iâd say this is mostly itâŚ
