She would have made a much better Snow White


I mean, she's beautiful, she's properly pale, she's still very young, and she's a semi-decent actress. A much better choice than the one they chose for the new Snow White film.

I can see that. However, Disney doesn’t intend to stay true to the character description, they are race swapping on purpose for the sake of a divisive agenda.

Besides, I would rather there be no remake at all of any of the classics and I would gladly give up the existence of even the least bad ones if I could.

reply

I would have to agree. With the exception of the 2015 "Cinderella," all their live-action remakes have sucked really bad, and some were stories nobody had asked for.

There are even people nowadays who wish for beloved cartoons from other studios be turned into a "modern" live-action remake, and after the past 7 years, I now respond to statements like that with, "Dear God no! Leave it alone!"

Plus, there are some perfectly nice live-action films of Snow White that exist already, they just weren't made by Disney. And the best ones have REAL dwarf actors and a pale-skinned actress in them!

I didn't even like 2015 Cinderella, I thought they made too many changes that weakened the classic overall (with the exception being writing the prince into a much more fleshed-out character). I thought Jungle Book was the best out of all of them, and I did like Dumbo and Pete's Dragon when I first saw them (I only saw each of them once though, so my opinion may change on a second viewing).

Yes, that's another thing. A lot of the fairy tales Disney chose to adapt in the past also have other versions including live action that you can choose from. There's no point in making yourself another version if you've already done one yourself (unless maybe you are adapting one of your shorts from the very early days and want to make it a full-length classic, I would have been behind that up until a very short time ago).

But now they are doing something worse. They know they are making shitty movies and taking the lazy way out by profiting on people's nostalgia and nothing else, they're aware of the criticism so now they are trying to guilt their audience into seeing it. "If you don't go see our new movie and like it, You're A Racist!"

Well, I'm not afraid to be called a racist if it involves standing up to their emotional blackmail, and it turns out I am not the only one. This new trend of doubling down and continuing to race-swap iconic characters from their classics doesn't seem to be working out very well for them. They deserve to lose everything for this.

I found out why Disney was pulling this shit too. Evidently their biggest investor is a major corporation called Blackrock, and Blackrock started pushing for social change through entertainment by setting up what was called an "ESG score," (Environmental, Social, Governance). Despite the pretty words, it's the evil Chinese Social Credit System with another name. What happened was, film studios would be scored (and still are) based on how woke their content was. The woker, the higher the score, and the more money they would get from Blackrock and other investment firms like Vanguard. It was why the people at Disney became so arrogant, snotty, and laughed at regular Americans voting with their wallets; it wouldn't matter if their woke films bombed at the box office because they would still be getting money from Blackrock to keep afloat and continue their propaganda BS.

However, after 7 years of this BS, evidently Blackrock's money isn't enough to make up for what the Walt Disney Studios are losing by customers (both domestic and overseas) voting with their wallets. Other companies are also figuring this out, much to their detriment. We need only look at Gilette and Budweiser to see what "go woke, go broke" looks like.

The race-swapping isn't really working anyway. There are more intelligent members of the black community that have caught onto the disingenuous gestures Disney and other studios have done, and they're getting sick and tired of the swapping too. They don't want established white characters swapped out and given a crappily-done, rewritten story; they want original black characters instead, and originality is apparently Hollyweird's kryptonite right now.

Where did you find this information?

reply

A YOUTUBE VIDEO.

reply

YouTube and the internet. The information is all over. What annoys me is that we didn't find out about this sooner.

reply

Well YES, but I just wanted to know if there were particular sources where you found this out because I pick my platforms where I get my information very carefully.

reply

Clownfish TV, WDW Pro, Midnight's Edge, and a few others.

reply

The controversy is free publicity.

reply

She is too white.

reply

Snow White IS white. “Skin white as snow” - right there from the original story. That’s the whole point!

reply

Jesus Christ, who wrote that story? Adolf Hitler?! Im literally shaking right now.

reply

And Disney casted a dark skin actress to play live action version Snow White.

reply

So you’re just a sheep.

reply

You didn't understand my point?

In the original story, why the protagonist name Snow White? Because she is white. Why she is white? Because white=beauty.

Can you imagine the PR nightmare if Disney real follow the original story?

reply

No, because you missed the entire point. You seem to think Disney calls all the shots now.

reply

And Snow White is a European fairytale, so of course the characters are going to be predominantly white. Are you saying white women can’t be beautiful?

reply

Imagine if someone decided to take an African story about a beautiful woman (who is black) and changed her into a white character because in the African language she had a name that meant beauty, oh but it doesn’t matter because any woman of any race can be beautiful. Do you see where your logic just utterly fails on a common sense level?

reply

Not to mention that it's a German fairy-tale, and most women living in Ye Olde Germany when the fairy tale was first made up were, duh-duh-DUH! White!

reply

So what if they decided to cast a white woman to play Mulan? Would you then say “oh, but Disney cast a white- skinned actress to play Mulan, oh well” and if someone named a better actress who fit the character better, you’d say that actress was too Asian? Is this how it works now?

reply

Actually, they have yet to compete with Marissa Meyer. She wrote a 4-part sci-fi series a few years ago that included a black version of Snow White named "Winter." It's one of many reasons I read "Cinder" and then said, "Ugh! This book sucks! The rest of the series probably sucks too!" and refused to read the rest of it.

reply

According to today's woke culture, that's sadly true.

reply

There is no such thing, troglodyte sonans.

Go flog your bullshit elsewhere.

reply

She would have been a perfect choice.

reply

Absolutely right

reply

I can definitely see her as Snow White.
