Disney's New Historical Fan Fiction Is Hilariously Bad!

Renegade Nell is a new historical fan fiction series that had potential but Disney did everything it could (and always does) to spoil it...

Wouldn't it be likely in 1705 England that someone with superhuman powers be charged with being a witch?

[@freman007]

Although officially the last witch trial that resulted in execution was in 1682, at Bideford, but Mary Hicks, along with her daughter Elizabeth, was executed in 1716. So yes, witch finders would have seriously investigated a woman with superhuman abilities, even if they didn't charge and execute her.

[@ggrarl]

"How do you know she is a witch?" "She looks like one!"

[@Vexarax]

What’s bizarre about witch trials is that if a person actually was a witch (or had some other super human ability) they could fight all the people arresting them and come out on top - or turn them all into frogs or something. Or vanish. So only truly innocent people were ever convicted of witchcraft - women yes but sometimes men too, even children sometimes 😢 But somehow the people conducting the trials were too stupid to be able to recognise this! Like, they believe witches could turn into animals for example. WELL THE PERSON WOULD HAVE TURNED INTO A MOUSE AND ESCAPED ALREADY THEN, DUH

@@kaykutcher2103 I like that it's always excused with statements like "this is isn't for you stop being an incel and complaining about it" but we can't have males portrayed as hyper competent in modern Hollywood movies or shows without a woman coming in and being either better or commenting on misogyny. James bond movies used to be sexist 100% and we don't make movies like that anymore because it's cringe, how is it not cringe when women do it now as well?

[@marshmallowloaf]

​@jaycollins2036 We don't really need "Males being hyper competent" in media, we just need media to make characters that feel like real people rather than walking PC statements. Women should be just AS good as men and vice versa. We need challenge and struggle, not this "Woman/Man defies all odds because they're God and everyone loves them so much we must dedicate 2 hours to showing off how great in comparison they are to everyone else". I've read fanfiction with more respect to its supporting cast than Disney has written in years. It's about time we bring back quality writing rather then writing power fantasies for specific audiences

[@DrFranklynAnderson]

Not Disney, but the one that amused me was Enola Holmes. There were tons of diverse extras in Victorian London and even a karate dojo run by a black woman, but Henry Cavil’s character was still lectured about how society was set up exclusively for people like him. Meanwhile, the actual Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes story that most dealt with racial issues, while quite forward-thinking for its time, would be considered _very_ offensive by today’s standard.

Hollywood folks have to justify the villians because they themselves are the villians. They have to normalize their own evil to fight off their guilty feelings.

[@TheGraemi]

That's probably also the reason why Disney reframes the backstories of a lot of the Disney villains. 🙃

[@racingraptor4758]

And its why Di$ney is failing. People arent that dumb and recognize whats evil . We only hear about a tiny loud minority which is in charge

[@ditterwho]

@TheGraemi Exactly! Villian backstories could be a very well done and interesting trope if they portrayed it more like a cautionary tale versus just justification for evil.

[@johnjohnson9073]

Something that confuses me about these shows which give old timey Europe the population diversity of modern New York is that they seem squarely foccused on Northern Europe. There's actually quite a bit of diversity in Southern Europe and Northern Africa around these time periods due to the Muslim invasions and complete rule of the Iberian peninsula up until the Reconquista. If they wanted black and Middle Eastern people in their medieval Europe shows they could just set them in Italy, the Balkans, the Iberian Peninsula, Morroco, Algeria, or the entirety of Spanish conquered America, which also gives them a reason to add native americans and mixed race people. Why ignore such a massive chunk of history in favor of altering the Northern European countries' history

[@saphiriathebluedragonknight375]

From I what I've heard it's because it requires work.

[@DH-xw6jp]

Because it isn't about accuracy, it is about erasure. It is bought and paid for anti-whiteism. Same reason they make famous English queens black as coal.

[@DavidMartinez-ce3lp]

Disney would never

[@tag5096]

Also there were no blacks in southern Europe, and North Africa was already middle eastern white. Spain was Spanish, France was French and so on. If they really wanted to tell black stories they would have to learn Zulu or Ethiopian history. That would require effort. On the other hand using the British history they kinda sorta know by osmosis is convenient

[@DH-xw6jp]

For the same reason they make historical English queens black. It's revisionist history and anti-European. They don't want to show the truth, they want to rewrite it.

[@PeterDivine]

Conservatives surrendered the arts to progressives. Progressives got incestuous, first in teaching their own, then in gatekeeping the industry. From then on, they spread from the colleges to the studios, and the rest is history. You have to remember that all their skill, all their experience as artists and writers, is now fundamentally based on "progressive politics good, everything old bad." All history, all morals or philosophy, all operations or management or skill, it's all from the cis-white-fascist culture of bigotry, and therefore literally anything they do to destroy it _ipso facto_ justifies itself. And, yes, that means you even get batshit takes like "stealing from people is actually good sometimes" and "kidnapping children isn't as bad as threatening people," because ideas like capitalist property rights and traditional families are anathema to these psychopathic monsters.

[@dexine4723]

The trouble is, that if the characters (especially the lower class ones) spoke in authentic language of the time (which you can find in books/newspapers of the period), a modern audience would struggle to understand them, because so many words have changed meaning or are no longer used at all, although it grates on me too when characters in a historical setting use modern-sounding language.

[@leirawhitehart1236]

@dexine4723 Well, like the person above said, they could've used the word "daft," and it'd hold a better, more historically accurate meaning. In fact, I was expecting her to say "daft," and was surprised and rather baffled when she said "dumb," because that's _not_ the word she would've used in those times. They don't need to sound unintelligible to sound accurate, they just need to use words _somewhat_ correctly for the time, and they couldn't even do that. OP is correct, using the word "dumb" like it meant what it means today, when it didn't, was a stupid and ignorant move. And you could say it's just a small detail, but I think even a small detail like that, speaks to just how little they actually cared when making this, that they couldn't even be bothered to use language correctly for the time to make it feel even a little bit immersive.

Finally, I'll just say this: it takes naught but a glance at population stats, to see that before 1990, Britain was 99% White. The "black history" of Britain coincides with the rise of the global billionaire elite ruling class, and one of their classic tactics for maintaining control over sovereign nations; open borders, chaos, and divide and conquer. They said they were gonna import more non-whites, and they did. From 1992 to 2002 they began, and that's when Britain ACTUALLY HAD a black population. Even more so since then. But just 30 years ago? Hardly any, eh?

[@yulee3266]

if britian has has black in the country for decades then they had a black population small but still existed what do you mean?

[@Itsnotphobiatodislikeislam]

@@yulee3266no they didn’t. The only black person in British history in these times was a black trumpeter, who wasn’t even British. He was more of an object, I think it was Henry who bought him as an item of curiosity and then he became a trumpeter. That is not 99% white, it’s 100% white with a foreigner who wasn’t from there living there too. Just like africa was black and Muslim too if you look at the Muslim colonisation of africa.

[@dexine4723]

@@Itsnotphobiatodislikeislam The UK wasn't quite that cut off from the rest of the world and you would also find a sprinkling of Arab/black/Asian sailors/merchants at the larger ports, and occasional black servants in the bigger aristocratic houses (brought over from plantation holdings in the West Indies), so in the rural setting of the show, the only possibly accurate non-white character was the black groom. Go a few decades further on, when newspapers became more widespread and you'll see the occasional mention of a 'Black' (capitalized), either in adverts, as a person seeking a situation as a servant/groom and describing themselves that way, or a person wanted for crimes. I've also seen records from the early and middle part of the century referring to black prostitutes in London (again, the result of freed slaves brought over from Jamaica etc, who were left with no other occupation). However, even if you put them all together, it would still only be a tiny, tiny fraction of the UK population, and you certainly wouldn't see them hanging out in a rural inn without being gawped at as novelties, let alone as senior members of aristocratic families.

[@Vexarax]

I’m hungover so forgive me if this makes me sound stupid - but do you mean the mountain range you live on in the states (like, the USA?) was once part of a mountain range in Scotland? .. Like, Pangea? Or am I just confused due to high levels of alcohol intake last night?

[@fegelfan15]

​@@Vexaraxno bro. Even I'm confused

[@richardfurness7556]

It's to do with latitude, and to a lesser extent elevation. If I've guessed correctly and you live somewhere near Mount Mitchell you'll be around 15 degrees south of London - no idea where in the UK Johnny lives, but it doesn't make much difference - so the angle of the Sun will be higher throughout the year for you and the sunlight will be concentrated on a smaller area. It'll also have a smaller amount of atmosphere to penetrate before it reaches the ground, so less will be scattered by dust, air pollution and clouds. UV is most affected by pollution, which tends to accumulate at lower elevations - think car exhaust gases and the like - so at higher altitudes even on a cloudy day you can get a tan.

[@Trixie1604]

@@Vexarax Yes, exactly - Pangea. There's a little tidbit of geologic history that's been making the rounds on the internet lately showing how the Appalachian Mountains, the mountains running through parts of the UK, and the Atlas Mountains were all once part of the same mountain range a bazillion years ago - the Central Pangean Mountains. That was a pretty impressive deduction despite being hungover!

Disney really has sunk quality-wise in a relatively short amount of time. I recently watched the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie, from 2011, and it's not even considered a particularly good movie- but after seeing current films, it was sooo refreshing to watch. That's because there was so much period detail and similar put into it, with exquisite craftsmanship by the set decorators, costumers, et al. Despite the fantastical elements, they were able to create believable world building- something that is lost on current Disney.

Yes. Rifling gives greater accuracy at range, but if you stand right in front of musket, they will put a 0.70-inch hole right through you. They worked for the kind of ranked fighting that soldiers used at that time, the musket's smooth bore having some advantages when loading quickly.

@@freman007 that’s actually why they fired in mass ranks. The individual musket wasn’t the most accurate weapon and at ranges well within killing range (in terms of how fast the shot was moving) trying to hit a person was unlikely. A bunch of muskets firing together, however, definitely could.
