You can’t blame people for being confused. We were told in the Strange World thread that racism hasn’t been a thing in this country for 60 years so there’s nothing to “correct” on that score. Now Disney has to wait longer to cast Halle Bailey in TLM because her casting may have alienated a large part of the audience. Nice.
You clearly get my point, though… which tells me all I need to know about the rest of our conversation.Well the sky isn't really blue, but that is a whole different conversation.....
I think they would leave some in-house, but going contractual maybe the best option long term.the sky is gonna be “pink” at WDI when Bob starts slashing the headcount..
…don’t discount they may finally close it/go contract based.
That’s a doozy for another day
Had to take a shot, huh?
Casting Halle Bailey in TLM killed social progress? Maybe stop explaining.Had to take a shot, huh?
Oh noble crusader
From a ideological point? No
Business? Then it gets difficult
But look at it the other way: if the business fails hard…as it’s begun to…the progress slows or dies.
Think that’s worth it for a little mermaid remake and a stupid Indiana Jones?
I don’t.
I probably agree…
And again this is where the dispute continues, because you don't want to recognize any revenue post-theatrical even though studios, media, and everyone outside of a few on these forums do.
No…and you know better.
Hey…are we having reading comp problems?
They also win if Disney gets cowardly.
I’ll try. Which one is Snow White again?
Hit the button. Problem solved.
You can only control your own actions, not those of others.
I never mentioned toy sales in this exchange, so doesn't appear to be me that has reading comprehension issues....
I am not taking shots. I am responding to the words and sentiments you yourself are choosing to share. I made no insinuation that you had an ideological issue with her casting; it’s clear you’re referring to the business side of things. That doesn’t change anything for me, because I still disagree with you. To my mind, there’s nothing especially daring about Disney’s strategy, and even if they are losing a bit of money because of their perceived progressivism, they can afford to do so. I believe, moreover, that such an approach will prove wiser than the alternative in the long term, both as regards PR and financially.Had to take a shot, huh?

How does this picture relate to the casting of Halle Bailey?
Netflix licensing covered budgets. Selling a movie to yourself to put on YOUR OWN streaming service does not.
How does a casting decision to deviate from the source material to appease a noisy group of activists relate to a different casting decision made to deviate from the source material to appease a noisy group of activists?
Noisy activists aren’t driving Disney’s casting decisions.
