Why does skin color even need to be changed? Why can’t they make new characters of different skin colors, genders and sexualities? Honest question.
Why did they change Ariel’s skin instead of just making a new little mermaid? Would have caused way less of an uproar from the retarded right wingers and black peoples still get their representation.
There are two separate things here. The IP for little mermaid, and Ariel. I’m talking about changing the movie so it’s not Ariel, but some other mermaid.
No. I’m saying make a new little mermaid movie. Make the main character black. Just don’t call her Ariel. No one would give a shit then, minorities get representation, the movie makes a billion dollars, everyone is happy.
How about we remake the color purple but only cast Asian people?
Not in the slightest. There should be mermaids that represent every color, ethnicity, and gender.
I just don’t understand why they need to change a character that was established in the past. Just make a new character with a new name.
They didn’t change Peter Parker to be black, they made a new character named miles and guess what? It’s the most successful example of using an established ip to create a new character to represent minorities. The first into the spider verse is my favorite movie of all time.

Because it’s ten thousand times easier and more profitable to market a property that already exists than something new.
Why do you think remakes and reboots exist at all?
The little mermaid already existed. They could easily just make a new character.

Are you really complaining that they are not using the correct skin color of a mermaid?
