Seems many Lilo & Stich fans were underwhelmed with the story choices, which seemed like a bad unforced error, after what appeared to be a good casting choice.

Live action HTTYD seems safe, but who asked for this?

Not unlike the Hermione Granger casting. Not 'white', but pretty darn close.



* What did I say to melt the snowflakes this time??

That's what makes it weird. Why cast a non white girl for a Viking role in the first place (we all know why) but then put her in white face?

The movie should clean up, though, at least in the first weekend.

Every actress working at the new Universal Orlando Park as Astrid looks more the part than this chick, and has to completely improv conversations with strangers while in character. It is clear there were good actresses available who look the part.

You don't cast this chick as your viking girl unless you're virtue signaling. Painting her white is kind of ridiculous.



But that's modern leftism. The only way they can elevate non whites is by dressing them in the clothes of the white man. I mean, I enjoy the compliment, but damn.

Im sure you arent gonna like this either but we have done dna studies and realized the viking "legends" arent 100% accurate.

It turns out most Vikings weren't as fair-haired and blue-eyed as legend and pop culture have led people to believe. According to a new study on the DNA of over 400 Viking remains, most Vikings had dark hair and dark eyes.

Of course you probably somehow think that not casting a pale blonde person is gonna somehow impact your life and will use it to paint yourself as a victim

Meh... Don't know why the frick they are doing a live action, just 10yrs after the original came out. I'm sure it has to do with grabbing with the opening of Epic Universe.

This is shite you do 20+yrs later.

My kid and I love the movies but have 0 desire to go see this in the movies.

Nice. More bogus 'studies' like when we found out the 'Cheddar Man was black' "scientist" was actually a communist who believed people should not have a cultural heritage because it encourages nationalism. The 'vikings were black' bullshite was shot down long ago.

My oldest is going to cry as we walk into Isle of Berk in a few weeks. I imagine we'll end up seeing this movie but it hasn't been mentioned as much as I expected.

Blonde hair is a recessive gene. It shouldnt be that shocking that it wouldn't be the dominant hair color in a society that picked up people from all over.
