Or possibly because its a Disney role. That would make more sense than being the first black Ariel. I feel that Disney probably pays out big...


Publicity is more important than cash in the long run. I mean that will make her "famous" more quicker. Still kinda getting off the point. My heart doesn't bleed for someone who willingly took a job.

Was Aladdin ever white, though. I thought he was Arabic. Or, possibly (apparently), Chinese...


Was Ariel ever black? Didn't stop them.
Also Aladdin is Arabian

Idk. I still feel bad that its turning out like this. But it may get better with time.

What I meant it I didnt think it would be surprising that a white guy wasnt cast as Aladdin... What you said is kind of opposite. Its surprising that a black girl was cast as Ariel because her character is normally white. Its. Or surprising Aladdin wasnt white as his character most likely wasnt...

I doubt we will ever find out although it would be interesting to see the reactions.
Still I'm more happy when they don't change well established characters for no reason other than "diversity". I suppose creating new characters is too much hard work though.

On a side note: King Triton will be white right?

That justifies all of this somehow?

Everytime I see a white people playing another race its: it doesnt matter, it's because X is really famous right now.

PoC playing a white role: omg this is the dumbest thing ever, it changes everything, why not just do a new story!

People are not always going to bend over and take it. This is nothing new nor shocking.
As I said before changing well established characters just for the sake of it is dumb.
If you have no issue with whatever race being whatever character then why be a advocate for this change when it makes no difference to you?

I've already said it's dumb to change well established characters and if I ever watch this film it will take me out of due to this change.

Character evolution is foundation for longevity.

Look at batman and superman. Yeah, they aren't black now, but those two are nowhere near the same characters they once were.

The were changed to fit a more modern demographic.

The craziest part is nothing else has changed so far but her skin tone, why is that such a big deal?

Evolution isn't changing a characters race just because.

You do you.


Yet here you are pissing and moaning about the poor actress who accepted a role.

ChaoticKnuckles posted...
That last point though? Cmon man, any up and coming actor or actress would kill to be starring in a Disney movie.


I can't wait to see a while girl play Tiana in The Princess and the Frog live action. I'm actually surprised a white bloke wasn't cast as Aladdin too.


You have a pretty loose definition of pissing and moaning if you honesty think that qualifies.

Not sure if sarcasm but yeah, they fucking mob you if you disagree with the casting


The thing is I actually wouldn't mind a different race mermaid. It's changing a established character just for the sake of it that's the issue. Why not have a new character? Sure that wouldn't be a direct live action remake but that's not a bad thing too.

Exactly.

Yet for some reason when I brought up The Princess and the Frog they just ignored me

Give me a break, its a cashgrab remake thatll be forgotten over the original 10 years from now, its not an extension of the character.

Comics are about characters. No one watches Disney for the same thing.

Yes. You have to jerk it to whatever Disney tells you to jerk it to... It's the law...

The Danish writer's original story, published in 1837 centres around a young beautiful mermaid who described is having "skin as clear and delicate as a rose-leaf


Based on that description, it sounds like casting anyone without green skin is changing the original vision. Of course, it's not like Disney's ever had any qualms about changing Anderson's original vision of this or any other story, so I guess none of this really matters.

White people complaining about established characters having their race changed? Racist.

Other races screaming at white people for wearing Chinese dresses or doing fucking anything? Perfectly normal and acceptable.

Yeah. I'd say I'm surprised, but I'm really not.

I mean maybe if you have someone like Samuel L Jackson who is a beloved and great actor you can make it work,


Are you talking about Fury? There was precedent for that.

No, I was just using him as an example of a beloved and great actor. I know they made Fury black in the comics first (and resembling Jackson) so they could bring Jackson in for the movies with a more seamless transition

I would love to see Ariel played by Samuel L Jackson!

I really don't care about the casting choice, but the little mermaid is definitely white in the original story, if this translation is accurate:
http://hca.gilead.org.il/li_merma.html
"When something like a black cloud passed between her and them, she knew that it was either a whale swimming over her head, or a ship full of human beings, who never imagined that a pretty little mermaid was standing beneath them, holding out her white hands towards the keel of their ship."

"He fixed his coal-black eyes upon her so earnestly that she cast down her own, and then became aware that her fishs tail was gone, and that she had as pretty a pair of white legs and tiny feet as any little maiden could have; but she had no clothes, so she wrapped herself in her long, thick hair."

"Then the little mermaid raised her lovely white arms,"

I'd never actually read the original story before.

And they can't dress as southern belles as it brings ancestral flashbacks.

Basically people should stop being white because it's racist.
