What are you thoughts on the singer/actress Halle Bailey being cast as Ariel in The Little Mermaid? (Page 2)

[Scarecrow13]

I don't care, it is just a completely different interpretation of the story. There is nothing that would require the character to gave a specific appearance.

[Xlelouch0]

None of these white people ever complain when white people are the majority of Gods of Egypt or they the main character of the great wall.
So I really don't wanna hear there half ass excuse. Dirty ass trump supporters

[mattdzz]

Egyptians weren't black, and neither was Achilles (another Mediterranean person you Leftist idiots turned black), but who cares about accuracy when there's a good false parallel to throw out...

[TonyBologna25]

@mattdzz this ^

[MannySimms]

Her tits are too big. She'd keep bobbing to the surface.

[adolescentswede]

The little mermaid in hc andersen original is rather vagly described so i find it like a rather open role

[lsjr16]

She will do a great job. I don’t think Disney executives producers , took race in it they saw she was talented actress who can sing really well and she prob did very well at her audition.

[Nik1hil]

Halle Bailey ! who is she?

And bigger question is who is Ariel

[ivanhunterjo]

Blackwashing should be treat the same as whitewashing

[CocoXD]

Why? Arielle’s race was never an important factor in the movie the little mermaid. Also I doubt you ever care when a character is whitewashed but when it’s against you it’s a problem.

[Geykkyrr]

@CocoXD her being ginger was part of her character

[ivanhunterjo]

That I can accept

[CocoXD]

Her hair is red. Literally red. No one has that hair color naturally and also there is something called wigs and dye.

[PumpkinSpiceisnice]

They should choose a natural redhead so I’m against it.

[Chelsdope97]

💁🏽‍♀️🙄

[AcidT0y]

Never heard of her. I'm probably not the target audience but yeah, cast whoever. Long as it's not Bill Murray. Fuck that guy.

[Smegskull]

I'm interested to see what they do about her hair colour and cup size for nostalgia sake. However at my age I don't really have any interest in Disney Princess tales.

[MarketNews]

IDC. For a moment there I thought you said Halle Berry and I was like "She's way too old!" Of course you now need to stop bitching about white actresses playing Asians.

[Kurαȷ]

I'm just intrigued about what the sea witch Ursula is going to be exchanging wishes for with the mermaids.
Ebonics and dreads? Maybe hair extensions?
Or perhaps the Disney Ursula fancies an afro.

[yourfavperson]

i hope so. she would look amazing in an afro!😍

[codycccccccccc]

I'm trying I'm trying nope I can't give less of a shit

[MrBurke]

Where's the third option for "why aren't they making her look like the original Ariel"

[yourfavperson]

because she was the most qualified and best fit?

[Geykkyrr]

There are many white girl's who can sing and act and actually resemble Ariel

[Anonymous]

She don't have the body for it. She looks like a teenage boy. Wtf. Where are the curves?

[Anonymous]

I wanted a ginger blue eye pale Ariel so not really happy and won't watch it.

[Goodwifie]

It doesn't bother me.

[CaviarLilly]

Good for her. Don't care.

As long as she can act.

[Reach500]

Good for her, hope she nails it.

[BeHappy1985]

She kinda looks like a fish, so a perfect fit.

[BeHappy1985]

[BeHappy1985]

[Vesta]

I think it was the wrong choice

[Anonymous]

I think she’ll do a good job.

[Anonymous]

No thoughts. No idea who that is.

[ImpatiensSultani]

I dont know her
