@@jeanjoelkapula5681 I’m thinking more so because Mulan being based in China is important to the story. Same with Aladdin and where it’s based. I think of it as different bc Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast for example, both stories are originally based in France but it’s not as integral to the story.

[@rafaeltaboada1176]

Mermaids are mythical creatures yes, but Ariel is a already written mermaid character with specific features which ruin the story, it would be the same things with already written black characters turned white.

[@TalyaJ24]

@@rafaeltaboada1176 Ariel being white in the animation is not important to the story at all. She’s a singing mermaid who lives under the sea that wants legs. Unlike Mulan or Jasmine whose heritage is actually important to the plot. For example, it would be CRAZY to make Mulan white since her culture is so important to the plot. That is no where near the same for Ariel. She could be blue and the story wouldn’t change.

[@lol-ot4pn]

Its one thing only caring about the actual quality of the movie and not race BUT They are literally using clips of little black girls to justify their choice for the actress. They have an agenda. The people who say its not about race, use race to justify their movie not being about race.😂

[@yairee4438]

@@lol-ot4pn What agenda to remove white based characters with POC. Oh no, the blacks are trying to replace are innocent childhood characters with street ridden woke brigade versions. 😭🤣

[@TheIcemanthomas]

@@lol-ot4pn is the story or the message about race? No right? The message is the same. The story and it’s dynamics are the same. So once again, why does it matter if the only difference they make is the color of her skin? Y’all are mad about the young girl not the character. Y’all are using the character to mask your closet issues with black representation. There’s real issues with this type of stuff in other movies that y’all can fight over and I’d be right with you. But This shouldn’t be one of them. If they all of a sudden made fucking wonderwoman a black woman then y’all can have at it. But a mermaid? Co’e on bruh. Black people cant be mermaids now because someone decided they wanted a mythical creature to look like them, but when we do the same it’s a problem. Do y’all understand how myths work? They change over time. I can guarantee that the depiction of a mermaid that we know now was totally different than how the original person who created the myths( not the books or stories but the actual myth of sea creatures from those times) depicted them. Y’all don’t have a problem with centuries worth of changes being done to the myths but have an issue with it when Blake people add their own part to it? I don’t get it. It’s illogical to me. Y’all treating a mermaid race as if it’s a fact that they are white. Just petty for the sake of it. ITS NOT REAL. She’s a fish not a human. She doesn’t have a race nor does she have to be specifically depicted in a certain way.

Let's make the live action movie of Static Shock played by Tom Holland

[@rafaeltaboada1176]

It goes both ways though because if they would’ve made a black character white, people would’ve still complain and it’s because Ariel is a already written character, she had certain features that made her unique just like snowwhite. They can’t make Mulan white because the story is written as a Asian woman in china. Same thing with Ariel. I think if they want more diversity they should just create new characters instead of ruining already written characters.

[@r3vora]

Now Im starting to think i’m psychic 💀 I was literally thinking yesterday about how it’s been a minute since you reacted to mentally mitch

[@skayles4716]

Honestly, the only thing that bothers me about Arielgate is how disrespectful this whole thing is to Halle as a singer and actress. Girl can SANG, girl can act, and girl has that Disney-Princess cutesy charm to her on top of that. The director being wowed by *BOTH* her Grammy performance and her subsequent audition for the role is supposed to be the whole reason why Ariel is black. So instead on focusing on pandering this and pandering that, can we at least stop for a minute and appreciate her talent ?

[@rafaeltaboada1176]

Nobody said nothing about her being ugly or talentless, y’all the only ones that want to make it a race issue, people or just bothered because she doesn’t match nothing to the character besides her having a nice voice. It ruins the story because her features don’t match Ariel’s at all.

[@skayles4716]

@@rafaeltaboada1176 Except yes, people desperately wanting to make it a pandering issue and nothing more than that is super dismissive of Halle's talent, because the whole pandering argument stands on the grounds of her having been picked SOLELY based on her race as a token actress. And no, her not having the original character's features doesn't in any way ruin the story, because Ariel's only important characteristics are her curiosity, naiveté, beauty and beautiful voice. Her being white with red hair _doesn't have a single ounce of importance_ besides surface level aesthetic appeal. Rather than making foolish claims and making nonsensical comparisons, just say that you liked the 1989 aesthetic better and leave it at that.

[@rafaeltaboada1176]

@@skayles4716 nope she was written with a white skin complexion, blue eyes, red long str8 hair and that’s not what Halle looks like at all. So please stop trying to make it a race issue because of it was a character of color turned white I would’ve still be complaining because these specific features made the whole character. And having a nice voice isn’t gonna cut it

[@amyxmay3677]

@@rafaeltaboada1176 Many white people always say, “Oh, I don’t see colour” or “People should be hired for the qualifications/talents, not because of their race”. And I agree with the last part, but where is that energy now?

[@jujubee6030]

@@rafaeltaboada1176 I'm pretty sure there were thousands of white girls that auditioned that looked like Ariel. All you need is a red wig with blue contacts and a purple seashell bra. The director was going strictly off talent cuz that the main thing they need to focus on. I would rather them cast someone with great acting and singing skills rather than someone who looks exactly like Ariel with mediocre skills. He chose Halle because none of the other girls could match her voice.

I was surprised about the backlash. I didn't give a F. Who cares about a mermaid and her skin color? It's not like a historic character.

[@doctortermaine7255]

It’s the lack of originality. There are plenty of stories about black mermaids, that exist in African mythology. Why not make a movie about one of those, instead of being lazy and race swapping a famous white mermaid. Why not give the kids something new, that can stick around, instead of race swapped character that’s only gonna be around for one, maybe two movies, before it gets stent to black Cinderella’s room, and never to be seen or heard from again. Why do all these black characters have to be race swapped versions of white characters, to be inclusive. I’m just curious 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@jujubee6030]

There are 3 versions of the white little mermaid. If they want to see a white mermaid then they can go back and watch those. Disney wanted to do something new with the 2023 version and they decided to go with Halle cuz she was the most qualified for the position not cuz their trying to make a statement.

[@doctortermaine7255]

@@jujubee6030 You think so? Is it really doing something new, when she still tied to identity of Ariel, a famous white mermaid, that will be continued to be used in projects, and such, long after the 2-3 years it’ll take to forget about her black counterpart. If they wanted to do something new they could just use one of the stories about black mermaids, that exist. Or make up a new story about a new mermaid, that can sing. Even if those were one off movies, at least they would have some originality to them.
