I mean the Latin White is just gonna eventually power over everyone. She'll appear helpless by using the Prince and the Equitably Diverse Somewhat Little People to get her foot in the door to advance her career, bitch slap the queen, and go SWANK/SINK-ing off into the sunset.

The name is interesting, indeed.

Please understand I am JUST JOKING (!!) ... but..

How about more truthful names?

'Mud Brown and the Seven Diversity Hires'?

'Charcoal Black and the Group of Dirty Hippies With One Midget Thrown In To Fill The Affirmative Action Quota?'

Why is Peter even in there? If there's ONE dwarf, why can't there be seven? I don't get the logic.. it would actually be more logical, if there were ONLY really tall people in there, and no midgets whatsoever, but they had, FOR SOME REASON (?!) to put one chibi character amidst their otherwise tall group? Why? Is this ever explained?

Finally a bunch of roles those 'vertically challenged' people could fill, and only ONE gets a role? WHY?! Give them the roles, hollyweird, they deserve their time in the spotlight after all these decades of oppression! At least Seinfeld tried and gave roles to many of the 'unmentionable, because I don't know the ever-changing politically correct term'-people.

Personally, I don't care what 'race', 'height' or any other attribute of someone's body is, I wouldn't mind seeing a 'Night Black Asian and the Seven Albino Robots from planet Flargaben', it could be a change of pace. Make whatever you want to make.

However, dancing around all this politically correct stuff, while taking a beloved classic and murdering and slicing it until there's none of the original story or fun left, and then trying to say they did nothing wrong, just looks so stupid and spineless. Just make SOMETHING good and get on with it!

At least be honest with the title, that's all I ask.. a movie with a Latina (why is it so rarely Eskimo, Albino, Japanese, Islandic or Aboriginal instead of Latinas and whatever-the-current-word-for-darker-skin-people-is-now?) as the lead, and tall people as the group, can't in all honesty be called 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves'.

In my opinion, they should just STOP taking some classic and mutilating it - there are SO MANY good stories out there.

I don't mind them doing this, it's pretty funny. What I meant is, if they want to tell a good story, make audiences love them again, and just let people have FUN in theaters instead of being PREACHED this braindead, lie-based agenda crap, they could just take any of the probably millions of ACTUALLY GOOD STORIES out there, and tell them the best way they possibly can, without any agendas and whatnot.

So a man can be strong in some role, and a women can be weak. So what? If the story is good, SO WHAT? Why would the woman always have to be stong in every story? Are women THAT insecure that they can't handle being shown as weak? So basically they're saying that men are strong enough that they don't mind being shown being weak in movies?

What about stories where men and women don't even exist, or at least don't matter, because the focus is on the HUMAN factor, not the masculine/feminine side? What if all people in a movie act as human beings instead of as women/men? What, then? Can't this even be experimented with? I mean, everyone would serve the STORY, not some gender-agenda.

I don't want a movie that does this to serve the agenda of 'genderlessness', either, forcefully trying to make anyone genderless. No. Genders can still exist, but the focus could be the deeper self, the actual human, NOT THE BODY.

The point could be that we are all genderless beings anyway, because we're pure energy, souls, if you will. The body that DOES have a gender, is only temporary, so it can't define us, that can hop from body to body for thousands of years, until we're beyond any need for a physical body to house our soul when we visit this kind of lowly planes of existence.

Wouldn't it be interesting to follow a soul's journey through hundreds, if not thousands of years, showing them living in bodies of both genders? (Ok, there might be a 'third' gender in the form of androgynous body, but it's pretty rare)

Why do stories always HAVE to have such a short timespan-focus?

There was one japanese story that actually spanned like 60 years or so, and showed one entity seeing the world changing all that time, and different other entities becoming friends with them... it was SO interesting to me, because not only did I get to see different eras of japanese history, but also a bit move expansive story when it comes to timespan-focus. It was not just one lifetime, it was like three generations, three lifetimes, but yet, one entity experiencing it all.

So much can happen not only to a character, but to a body, when it stays on a planet long enough, for example, a teenager can grow to an old being, a kid of next generation can grow into an adult, and so on.. these generational things and larger timespans can be extremely interesting, when done well. What a teenager goes through in a world war time is so different from what a teenager goes through in the sixties and seventies, and then again different compared to the '00s.. so many stories could enlarge their timespan-focus like this, without resorting to some stupid time travel stuff..

I mean, there are so many stories, so many ideas, they ABSOLUTELY do not need to resort to taking all these classics and 'remaking' or 'rebooting' them to fit the fema-fascist agenda. Who wants to see that, when they could be seeing some old, forgotten comic story come to life in a beautiful way on the big screen?

But sure, bring us 'Coffee Dark and the Tall Weirdos', maybe it will be really good, original story where a woman becomes a LEADER instead of finding love, because who the heck needs love, when you can be a dictator instead?
