    Tbh my problem with the new lil mermaid wasn’t that she’s black, it’s that since they remade (and completely fucked up) Total Recall I’ve been BEGGING for a goddamn original concept from a movie instead of another stupid remake you can make terrible but it’ll still sell thanks to brand recognition. C’mon movie/cartoon people, Tim Burton can do it, ask him how!!

      Oh yeah, 100%. None of the live action remakes have been worthwhile. They’re almost universally creatively-bankrupt lazy cash grabs. If it weren’t for the occasional right-wing outrage over them being “woked up”, they’d come and go without making any impact on public discourse.
