Again, I said I am happy for Zegler, and the praise she is receiving surrounding her role of a well-known character which many (for whatever reason or excuse they want to use) deemed her unworthy of. The movie itself could sink or swim for an assortment of reasons, but her performance is not going against it from what people are saying. She has a bright future ahead of her and I am happy for that.

I can only answer for myself, I was happy. I still have the 1989 poster to prove it:
Good for you and her. I’m not sure many of the “haters” here have ever criticized her singing ability or general talent, but rather that the approach to the entire production has seemed off and doomed for failure.
That poster has seen better days though.
Makes sense…. Most of the outrage is coming from middle age men
Same with The Little Mermaid.
The person who owns it? Sure.That poster has seen better days though.
I will let my wife and her friend group know they are officially middle aged men.
Well its still early yet, but regardless of whom is outraged we'll see if the trend continues of parents just not caring or not even knowing about any of it.
Most doesn’t mean all. Those are two different words with different meanings.
The poster did say "MOST" not "ALL". So not sure why you would need to even do that since there was no slight against your wife and her friends.
I said most….obviously no situation is all
It’s true she might be good but citing Roeper’s review as proof of that is a joke
Doesn’t warrant outage, it’s just another scoop of subpar tentpole mediocrity from a studio that used to know better
Yeah but this idea of its “mostly men”.
Yup. This is a reasonable and healthy assessment.
To be clear, without what you call “social engineering” we’d still have the racial politics of 1928. Making things better takes conscious effort.
And what give you indication that isn't true? Your wife and her friends fall outside of that "mostly", but still doesn't show that is not a true statement. I mean the statement could be false, but until otherwise proven its a valid opinion of where things sit based on that posters perspective. Just like yours is counter to that.
Is it? We've had one day of box office previews so don't know how you can say that. And of the target audience, kids and parents, its had mostly positive tracking with over half the parents marking it down as a definite watch. Which if that continues as its theatrical run goes on will be a better outcome than anticipated, ie another Mufasa.
You're living in a false reality that is 100 years old. That's on you. However, it is not the responsibility of the rest of the public (and/or Disney) to pretend it is actual reality. Maybe social engineering was necessary (or productive) 100 years ago (or 60 years ago), but I vehemently disagree that it is necessary (or productive) now. More importantly, for the purposes of this discussion in this thread, the public has demonstrated over and over and over that it disagrees with you. Has Disney received the message yet? I don't know. I hope so.
