Nobody cares what color the little mermaid is. People are pissed with Disney trying to destroy all their old movies in the name of political correctness.
From editing old Disney movies to make em more woke, when they put em on Disney plus, to rewriting all the Disney princess' in the remakes to make em perfect at everything, Disney is leaning into destroying the past to justify an imaginary present.
Disney knows they have a garbage script for their mermaid remake because they hired political activists instead of writers. When they rewrote Ariel as a perfect "Mary Sue" who's already the best at everything they destroyed the potential for an actual character arc.
But rather than fix that, they're gonna sell it as "black lil mermaid" and call anyone who doesn't pretend their garbage remakes are 5 star oscar winners is "racist."
