The Little Mermaid(2023)

I mean that’s just not true. “Remake” doesn’t mean the same. Like yes the story is the same but they can add shit to make it unique. In the Aladdin remake, they gave princess Jasmine her own song, they gave Aladdin and Jasmine more of a backstory, and they gave Jasmine’s father more to do than just being a loopy father. In the Beauty and the Beast remake, they gave Belle a lot more backstory on her mother and again… gave the father more to do. It’s not like these movies were literally just shot for shot remakes with not a single piece of new footage or whatever to make them unique. Fucking A

Lion King I think was tho. I can’t remember much difference they did but maybe my minds just blanking right now

I don’t even have a problem with remakes because generally if I like something I want more of it but I’m just saying I understand his point that a long-standing franchise is still a long-standing franchise it’s nothing new you could do new things with it though sure.

So why are you even arguing

 

[Brandon Blaze]

So why are you even arguing

Because my whole argument was let folks who enjoy it enjoy it? I even said I don’t care for or watch most of them. But I let folks who wanna enjoy them because it doesn’t hurt me none.

Fair enough

It’s like the people who say they have to stop making Fast and Furious movies. No one is making you watch them. Let people who do enjoy themselves.

How the fuck have you not seen fast and furious

 

[Brandon Blaze]

How the fuck have you not seen fast and furious

Just never felt like watching them. Back when they started to come out I was really only into comedy movies or kids movies at the time. As I got older and liking other stuff I just never watched them. One day I’ll probably do it

It is what it is. Honestly it’s something I’ll probably start later this year or sometimes next. Gives me something to look forward to

 

[Sabretooth]

Alright well this thread has gone totally off the rails lmao so back to the little mermaid. The brief clip we got looks pretty good. The underwater scene looks beautiful and Halle Bailey has an amazing voice. Hopefully this movie hits the mark. I’m REALLY looking forward to Daveed Diggs as Sebastian because I loved him in Hamilton.

Not sure why there are people getting mad at a black Ariel for this Little Mermaid remake.....Jesus wasn't white, no one talking about that....FOH with that booshit.....should be more mad that Disney keeps churning out these garbage money grab live action remakes.
