Casting Billy Porter was a mistake.


The role of the Fairy Godmother is too important. This movie could have been much bigger than it is right now.

The 90s worked because the general public loved BOTH Brandy and Whitney Houston at the time.
Only a very niche Twitter audience loves Billy Porter.

Should’ve have casted Idina instead. Elsa singing a fairy godmother song would’ve hyped the kids up way more than the gloomy villainous stepmother.

That explains a lot. Evidently Hollyweird is so damned stupid they'll just use Twatter to find out what the "audience" wants, rather than doing research of the American viewing public as a whole. Small wonder this movie was a train wreck.
