I pretty much have the same thoughts about the movie. As well as being difficult to discuss some topics with other people about it. Aside from being tired of people still complaining that she doesn’t have the deep red hair color like the animated movie, one discussion I’m conflicted with is the complaint of having black/POC actors play characters that were originally white. While I do agree that Disney and other companies mainly do hire POC to look good for press and profit it kind of irritates me when people automatically assume that’s the only reason non-white people are hired (especially when it’s a black woman) and not the fact that they were maybe the best out of all the auditions. I feel like for The Little Mermaid remake this is the most I have seen from people complaining for more original black characters. Now I do agree we need more original black characters, but I honestly feel like in order for that to happen they need to hire more black writers, producers, directors, etc behind the scenes and not the same two white guys to lead.

Yes! And while I’m some of my fellow Black peers want to work under an Afrofuturistic framework and hope to reimagine this world living in an space of alternate history where slavery didn’t take place I can’t. I feel pessimistic, but this movie is made by the same people who did the original LM. The original, whose princess is in the same princess lineup as Pocahontas. Whose movie is basically about love concurring racism, ethnocentrism, and colonialism. I can’t help but feel kinda hurt when I think of some rando white guy marrying what is now one of two Black Disney princesses — now set in a world where his people definitely enslaved Africans, who were thrown or jumped from slave ships prooooobably just last week.

Lin Manual Miranda needs to be stopped. I will die on that hill.

Halle’s voice gave me chills. Loved it!!! And it was very clear that Ariel wanted to be a human for herself in the original movie. She has always been my favorite princess and I love living by the ocean, as a child I wanted to be a mermaid.

I’m still offended by that Ursula makeup

I'm glad you enjoyed Halle's singing, and that your kids liked the film! I'm also happy the other kids at the cinema loved the film and sang along too. I agree with your point that Awkwafina is talented but doesn't handle Black politics well.
