What about a compromise where Ariel's left side is white skinned and her right side dark skinned? It would send a strong signal that we do want POC represented in media, but also don't want to erase white people completely. Just throwing out ideas here guys

This could work as a YA thing.

Love interest is a hot black slave guy she rescues from a Nazi boat and they team up?

Bad guy is Hitler and they drown him in the end, pulling him down by his remaining ball.

I don't think they should eat the Nazis though. Just like drown a ton of them.

Goddamn liberal adaptations.

Eating people is the entire point of the source material you're working with.

During WW2 the Deutsche (German) Kriegsmarine (war navy) tried to train loreleis (german mermaids) to carry unterseesprengkörper (bombs) and attach them to allied naval vessels (kriegsschiffe), but the project failed as the mermaids either put the bombs somewhere else or tried to bounce them on their nose like seals.

The reboot needs to have the monarchy of the sea overthrown and replaced with its rightful rulers, the dolphins (not the miami dolphins)

The Little Mermaid and the Big rear end Guillotine.

Disney should adapt peter watts' Starfish next. It's basically about friendly mermaids, too.

You're right, Lenie splicing additional starfish limbs onto a starfish and watching it roll around is pretty Disney. As is walking around and smashing all the mirrors and lights.

The chuds will assume the monarchy has to be overthrown because they're black, not because monarchy is bad, and will just replace them with a king who is a perfect aryan man.

It’s really nothing personal.

White people’s market share will be decreasing in America, and Disney is just exploring other sources of income.

Disney knows POC’s money is as good as anybody’s, so they’re just sowing the seeds of brand loyalty in the next generation of consumers.

Nah the real pro movie is to have her checker board patterned. Then have a game of chess play out oh her head while the movies going on. Then it's like a chess movie and an underwater fantasy musical. Plus depending how you stick on the pieces part of the hellriser franchise. The movie would have something for everyone!

If Disney was serious about making movies that appeal to women and minorities, they'd make movies about oppressed women and minorities successfully rising up and getting revenge on the people who are actually oppressing them.

Nope, Disney actually made the Empire less racist and misogynistic because they didn't want to offend white male supremacists by implying they're evil.

If Disney was really woke, they would acknowledge that the greatest threat to freedom is straight white conservative men who think they're inherently superior to everyone else, and encourage women and minorities to fight back against them instead of ignoring that they exist at all.
