By asking the way you did, it makes it sound like youre against diversity, tbh Oh I know: questioning any change made for the (apparent) sake of diversity sets me up to be the bad guy. I tend to think that style of change is a cynical move on the part of Disney to say "look, we're diverse now" and it doesn't accomplish much other than play into the hands of those (i.e. right-wing talking heads) who can call it out for what it is: a cosmetic/corporate change versus a meaningful change. It's good for the actors who getting chances at roles they couldn't otherwise play, I suppose, but I just don't think that's the way to do diversity. There are bigger problems, sure, and I'll give them credit for the way they've highlighted other cultures in other movies recently...but that one feels wrong. LinkPizza posted... I also see no issue with certain stories living forever. People like them. So why end them. Just because you dont like them I don't have a problem with stories living on if people want to. I personally suspect this particular story wouldn't live on if it weren't for Disney (or Disney imitators) but if people still want it more power to them. My original point was that perhaps the original could be left as a piece of history if the storyline is going to have to be greatly modified to make it acceptable. But even then who knows: maybe they'll surprise me and making something new and better? If they have a winning way to do it: fine and good. kangolcone posted...
