Redd the Pirate to Receive Makeover

[mickEblu]

Please tell me their changing the awful voice acting and cringey dialogue too

 

[mickEblu]

If Redd is their first LGBTQ main character, I won't be surprised.

So the rest of the Pirates are straight and we know this how? What does sexuality have to do with characters on a theme park ride about Pirates. I want to go back in time.

As I say time and time again, the issue was in part that the pirates have now been positioned as protagonists. There was nothing historically inaccurate about the scene itself. But to have little kids getting pirate makeovers outside of a ride where pirates are auctioning off a woman is downright horrible and needed to be changed years earlier.

Little kids have been pretending to be pirates since the days of Treasure Island.

Disney though did take it into a weird direction where pirates are outright good guys. Jake and the Neverland Pirates aren’t exactly rascals, scoundrels, villains and knaves.

Any chance Jack will be replaced with Jake? Haha!

I don't mind the new scene, except the dialogue is just terrible. Maybe they'll fix that too

So that means you DO mind the new scene.

That said, I'd rather look at a redhead than Jack.

I like the old redhead. The new one seems out of place.

Yeah I would rather they leave this whole subject out of the ride.

Well, those are *good* pirates. There might be a few bad apples...

Exactly what I was thinking about.

If you're male and can't understand why a young girl might not feel the way you did, you might want to consider that your perspective is not the only valid one. My (then 8 year-old) daughter was rather unhappy about Disney depicting a woman being sold into slavery when she rode it, and was thrilled with the new Redd.

 

[Mickey5150]

If they are gonna change her I do hope she looks more like Karen Gillan who I am hoping is the lead of the pirates reboot, and please call her ship the Nebula.

...REALLY bad apples...

And for good measure make dance fighting her strength and snakes her weakness.

 

[Amused to Death]

My (then 8 year-old) daughter ... was thrilled with the new Redd.

For suggesting she take up rum? "Drink up, me kiddies, yo ho!"

 

[1HAPPYGHOSTHOST]

Just curious, are you female? If you're male and can't understand why a young girl might not feel the way you did, you might want to consider that your perspective is not the only valid one. My (then 8 year-old) daughter was rather unhappy about Disney depicting a woman being sold into slavery when she rode it, and was thrilled with the new Redd.

That is absurd. Look I am a male but I do have a younger sister, and two younger female cousins with whom I used to ride the ride with all the timE growing up and they loved it and never complained about the auction. I even rode it with my grandmother many times before she passed along with my mother and they loved it. What you are stating is not factually true.

...REALLY bad apples...

I thought there were bad eggs, not apples

So that means you DO mind the new scene.

That's what adding the word "except" means where I explain the portion I DO mind
