Someone please kill me

Regé-Jean Page and Glen Powell are headed West.

The Bridgerton alum and Top Gun: Maverick grad are poised to star in an untitled reimagining of Butch and Sundance for Amazon. The straight-to-series drama, which landed at Amazon following a competitive situation with both Disney+ and Peacock bidding, will be exec produced by Joe and Anthony Russo’s AGBO. Cousins Kaz and Ryan Firpo (The Eternals) will pen the scripts for the series, which is envisioned as a larger franchise with multiple series and spinoffs.

There are no original ideas left in Hollywood. They will bastardize everything before it is all said and done.

Unoriginality is hardly the biggest problem with this latest Butch & Sundance project

A dark-skinned Ariel in a story that is clearly and obviously set in or near the Caribbean makes perfect sense.

uh, what?

Shes the daughter of King Triton. White man, with a white beard and long white hair. Historically Triton was Poseidons son. Who lived in a golden underwater palace near Greek.

The Caribbean wasnt even a known part of the word when these gods were written about

Ariel is simply the underwater version of Cleopatra. She may be living in the Caribbean, but her roots are as Greek as Cleopatras, who was living in Egypt. And whose family didnt intermarry with natives

You realize we are talking about Disney's adaptation of The Little Mermaid, correct?

The Greek Triton was a god with two daughters. Disney's Triton is a king with seven daughters.

"Triton" has long been a generic term for mermen.

I'm somewhere between Newt Gingrich and Mussolini on the political spectrum, but I'm OK with a black Little Mermaid. It's not any less realistic than "Rudy"

Anyone should be, just like a black superman... If the actor was the best fit for the role, but we all know the first qualification for many roles these days is being a minority

white washing characters is lame as frick.

black people want their own characters, not white washed characters.

no black person wants a black superman, they want their own black super heroes to follow.

and they continue to white wash the ginger characters and turn them black.

ummmm, I am the one that pointed that out to you, sport. After you went into some historical BS about her being Caribbean and a POC

So if youre gonna flip back and forth between animation and actual history, the very real Cleopatra also defeats your narrative. Ariel and Cleopatra both have roots in Greece. Both live in a POC region, and both were white. Plus the inclusion of Price Eric also historically proves Ariel white

Prince Harry got kicked to the curb, and out of his castle, when he chose his POC princess. Clearly Prince Eric did not

I can damn near guarantee kids give zero shits about this

Let that sink in


That's rich. Especially since the only reason the actress is black is because of weak blacks who can't create anything on their own so they continue to cry about things until they force themselves into what evil whitey has created

Let that sink in.

I really don't give a shite, Hollywood is the most corrupt institution in America.


Everyone is better off avoiding their products. Its the modern opiate of the masses.

Someone explain to me why there is backlash?

Could this be a fake controversy to draw attention to the movie like the Starbucks Red Cups?

And nothing will be done about it. Because racism is perfectly fine here from the right side.
