If I was black, I'd be pretty pissed that most of the characters that are supposed to represent me are just race swapped white people or token black guys in settings where no black people existed. They deserve better.
shareYou are aware that this film is a remake of a cartoon that was based upon an Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale? What skin color did he intend his fish to have anyway?
The characters of Ariel, Scuttle, Flounder, Ursula, Triton, Sebastian and Eric are represented by two black, one asian and four white actors. Are black people stopping you on the street to tell you how disappointed they are that two of the main characters are miscast as black instead of white?
They want it all so probably yeah.
