Race baiting wokefest

Take the 1989 original, race swap the main character and gender swap the seagull, and sap the film of any creativity and originality it had and you have TLM2023. An absolute disgrace to the original movie, and just an excuse to make money off of controversy.

Why?

Very terrible movie, poor presentation. Yet another woke movie from Disney.

Sigh...

Let's just review the cast...

The original Little Mermaid is already subversive (there are clear drag elements to Ursula and this deal, suggesting that Ariel is trying to pass as a woman, and cannot use "her" voice), meaning in some ways this is less woke in that scene, because they replaced the original Ursula with Melissa McCarthy. But since I can't stand her, that's not an improvement. Then there's redhead erasure again, race swapping her. I am pretty sure they added in the queen (probably destroying the original character's motivation, who was motherless, and thus had nobody to defend her against her father). Gender-swapping characters.

So yeah, in addition to making it woke, you also made it more dull than the original by pulling out all the original subtext of the Ursula scene.

Not too woke

The main wokeness is that they turned Ariel and the Queen black, but otherwise I didn’t notice any other work themes being pushed. It was a good movie overall.

Anything by Disney these days is woke

The race-swapping trend is what made this film famous (or infamous)
