Makes sense. I could see an argument that Mufasa did well in Dec/Jan when movie attention is compressed with holiday and family time. But Stitch seems to have a prime position at the start of summer, last May notwithstanding.
Thank you. I wasted 10 minutes trying to find that reference.
I don't know what the bolded means. I have certainly been consistent. Perhaps you missed it, but I have myself acknowledged that wishing people mental anguish can be construed as wishing them a form of harm. Again (and this must be the tenth time I'm saying it), I do not think she should have said what she said, and she was right to apologise for it. I was merely trying to clarify that she was not, as some (not necessarily you) have claimed, wishing physical harm on anyone.
Where do I say that my opinion is more right than yours? This again is you interpreting your own meaning into my posts to try and pick a fight. Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I don't accept your opinion or that its somehow being less valid than mine.
Please provide me evidence that she has shown actual hate before or after said post. Because I've been following her on social media for awhile now (before all this drama) and I don't recall one single post where she has had actual hate expressed. So I form my opinion based on the actual evidence presented in her actual posts on social media, not second hand information from outside sources.
Of course I completely agree with you on this because I've said it as well, even before that post you made today. I've said "death by a thousand cuts" multiple times in this very thread. So why would I try to say I disagree with you when I've posted the same thing multiple times? I don't even understand what you're trying to do here, pick a fight again? You clearly have no issue with leaving off parts of my posts that you want to ignore or don't want to discuss, so why include this one where we actually agree and then try to pick a fight? That just seems like a weird thing to have an issue with.
What I meant is that if it's harm on one side, it's harm on the other. I've been told a lot that her comments didn't mean harm. But I was also told Ginas pronoun thing was harm. That's being inconsistent. You asked if I was talking about her comments wishing violence. So I was giving my interpretation. You did say mental anguish was harm, and I was agreeing.
You didn't, I'm telling you that. You specifically told me to prove it. And I'm saying prove it she didn't mean harm. So I'm stating that I'm no less right than you.
Then why did you bring it up? If you agreed than why say, I don't subscribe that it was the primary issue? Because I never said it was either. So why not just say agreed.
Well when you constantly disagree with me that its not the majority of people, it sure seems like you do. As for the 2nd part we agree. I've been saying just that.
That might be true. I have no idea who the exact person/group to bring up the original comments. There's also a pretty vocal group that just hates Disney and wants to try and sabotage any production Disney is doing. It could be a combination of both. Again, I've never denied there's a hate group out there. We differ on it's impact.
Again, we agree. We just disagree on how to accomplish it. This might seem odd, but I think Mufasa is the right way to go if you're going to go down the old franchise path. I don't think race or gender swaps are the way to do it. The Mufasa route you have infinite possibilities to create new stories, with whatever diverse characters you want. It's really limitless.
Just an fyi that was a joke. As in, you don't want to be in agreement with the likes of me.
I checked ShopDisney.com and very, very little remake-specific merchandise has been produced for it. Like Wish eventually got you can buy $100+ collector-oriented fashion dolls of Snow and the Evil Queen, some upmarket jewelry -- most of the collection seems intended strictly for adults. I do know that there are also Funko Pops! available for those two characters, but otherwise, Disney honestly didn't try with this one in terms of merchandising or commercial tie-ins (the two I've seen were for Miracle-Gro and Allegra!). It's like the marketing department assumed only adults would be interested in a movie like this. It's especially noticeable compared to how hard they pushed the Little Mermaid remake, and that definitely helped that film just being a known quantity to the public.
Just as I said the other part of my post that you left off and ignored (again), my evidence is her other social media posts leading up to and after that post. So that is proof I have that is leading me to my opinion. Could that opinion be wrong and her heart if filled with hate and it came out in the post, of course. But that doesn't jive with any other posts she made, nor how people who have worked with her describe her. So I form an opinion based on the evidence and give the benefit of the doubt here.
Its called expressing an opinion and finishing out a thought during the flow of a discussion. I didn't realize I needed to go back and agree with your previous posts where our opinions aligned during a discussion just to say I explicitly agree with you. I didn't realize you needed that type of validation from me.
With how contentious and confrontational the rest of your posts have been in this exchange it didn't read as a joke.Just an fyi that was a joke. As in, you don't want to be in agreement with the likes of me.
There are many white Latinos; she’s not the only one to describe herself as such. I’m not sure why you find the term surprising.
I honestly don’t remember Brandy’s casting as Cinderella causing nearly as much controversy. You yourself had very positive things to say about it:
Why did an African-American woman in a French fairytale not bother you—on the contrary, you considered her “perfect” for the role—when a white Latina in a German fairytale does?
There's a live-action/CGI remake of The Aristocats in the works with Questlove directing the film.
It’s not a newfangled or PC term. The distinctly anti-woke @mickEblu has used it of his daughter. People have been identifying as both white and Hispanic in the US census for decades.
