Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[Disney Irish]

Well thanks then.

Now it all makes sense.

Sorry if I wasn't clearer I was trying to avoid going into the specific reasons so as to stay neutral.

No don’t apologize. I was just making fun of myself for my complete inability to figure out what is going on.

Ok? Are you saying no one is offended? Because I can assure you that's not the case. It's not social media dictating anything. The point is the star of a movie insulted over half the country. It's a bit naive to think that it can't have an impact on the film. Don't you think?

i believe you are overestimating the amont of people that even heard her comments…..unless you follow a certain section of YouTube…. And many of those have already decided Disney bad…. Not everybody follows pop culture like some of us in this corner of the internet… many people will just see a trailer and if it looks good or others recommend to them… may decide to see it

Yes, I think that’s how people are interpreting it. And perhaps that’s what she intended by liking it. For my part, I don’t much care, and it certainly won’t have an impact on how I’ll assess the film.

I find it more amusing than off-putting, but celebrity drama almost never impacts how I feel about a movie. When I watched Don't Worry Darling back in 2022 I definitely wasn't thinking of all the fighting among the cast.

I couldn’t care less either. Just couldn’t understand what was meant by the post.

Either was it doesn’t seem like Zelger is very keen on having people like her.

I unfortunately won’t be able to assess this film since my extreme distaste for the leading actress would contribute to an insurmountable bias.

I will find it interesting to see how much Disney loses on this project, and how willing they are to continue to create projects that seem doomed from the start.

 

[Disney Irish]

I think it’s that she looks glum with Gadot but is smiling next to Kidman. More significant than that, she appears to have liked the post, as if to endorse the view that she prefers one costar over the other.

That is why I said it people reading something into the picture that isn't there. Its one picture for a single split second moment that may or may not reflect reality.

You can do a side-by-side comparison of any moment and find something that shows it as being something completely different than what it was.

I hope the movie tanks hard for several reasons. Sorry not sorry.

 

[Trauma]

It’s easy to say something was doomed from the start in hindsight. Plus we don’t actually know how it’s going to do. People were very pessimistic about the Moana sequel when that was first announced, yet all signs now point to a blockbuster.

I think that was because it was some made for TV thing that was switched to movie and people thought it was going to just be a D+ show.

I think once that was cleared up people where excited for Moana.

I hope the movie tanks hard for several reasons. Sorry not sorry.

I suspect your wish will be granted.

As for me, I hope it does well if it’s any good and badly if it isn’t. The remakes have always frustrated me in this regard, because how much they’ve made at the box office isn’t correlated with their quality (I’m looking at you, Lion King).

 

[Disney Irish]

It’s her “like” more than the contrast between the pictures that I think is significant.

I get that, and again reading something into it that isn't there.

That might be correct. But you might be underestimating the amount of people who just follow news in general. Sure, not many might have seen the original post. But every news outlet has her apology as a story. So if someone didn't see the original post, there's a good possibility they clicked to see what it was all about. Let's say it's a small percentage of people who have seen the posts. This movie is going to need all the help it can get. It really doesn't need the shenanigans, even if it's a smaller amount.

I'm sorry but if zegler liked the post it is not reading into anything. That's not something you can spin. The whole point of liking a post is to endorse it. Please explain what is being read into, because I don't see it.

 

[donaldtoo]

Is this thread now the new politics and social issues forum…?!

 

[Disney Irish]

I mean, if she liked it having actually looked at it, then I don’t think one can call that reading into things.

I'm sorry but if zegler liked the post it is not reading into anything. That's not something you can spin. The whole point of liking a post is to endorse it. Please explain what is being read into, because I don't see it.

This again goes back to what I'm talking about, people are reading more into this than is actually there.

The original tweet which Zegler liked is not what you guys are thinking. The "Kie" account who tweeted it originally is a fan of Zegler, to me it looks like they are pointing out the differences in her style at each event, and that is what she liked. Its the poster here and everyone else that is trying to make it about her demeanor in the pictures, which isn't not.

For years now Disney movies have been struggling

In the end it was actually only really one year. This year has been incredibly successful; as was 2022 considering the environment it was in. Even 2023 wasn’t a total write off with Guardians, Poor Things and Elemental breaking through.

So how much does this dumpster fire have to make to break even?

675 million, which is admittedly a terrible setup for the movies prospects. Looks like they blew the bank on the CGI dwarves.

 

[erasure fan1]

I suppose it's possible she liked it without reading it, but that sort of carelessness is risky, and it would still be her responsibility if that's what happened.

I'm just not sure how it's reading in to anything. If you posted, I hate Zegler and she should never work in Hollywood again!!! And I like that post. That is a clear endorsement of that post. It's pretty clear in my opinion.

 

[BrianLo]

All I’ll really say on this movie is I think it’s going to be another mundane remake and I think everyone’s going to be incredibly dissapointed in how non-controversial they actually made it.

It’s the fumes of the 2023 banter here that the company has already clearly pivoted from.

 

[Disney Irish]

I have a "burner" Twitter account (I created it so I could communicate with Microsoft when they weren't responding to my emails) and found the original post. Yes, it's a Zegler fan account, but pretty much all the replies to it, written by other Zegler fans, are intepreting it the same way: as an indication of her dislike of Gadot. Go and look for yourself if you don't believe me.

I have that is how I know the context of this whole thing.

 

[Disney Irish]

OK, so you agree that most of the replies are from Zegler fans who interpret the juxtaposition of photos as proof of her dislike of Gadot? And if not, what is your reading?

I agree that is what the replies are interpreting, but I don't agree that is what the original tweet was about nor why Zelger liked it. Now maybe I'm incorrect but it reads differently to me, as I mentioned previously.

 

[Vegas Disney Fan]

You may be right. I just don't think most cinema-goers (however they lean ideologically) allow politics to affect their choices to such an extent.

I don’t think politics affects those decisions nearly as much as likability, there’s a lot of movies I’ll go see simply because I love the actors in it, there’s also movies I’ll avoid because I dislike actors in it.

Zegler comes off as smug and condescending so for me she falls into the dislike category, not boycott worthy like Chris Brown or Ezra Miller but not someone I’m rushing out to see either.
