Wtf? I was expecting a red hair white girl to play mermaid 🧜♀️. Messssssss💅🏿 This ain’t princess Jasmine or Tiana.
And They picked a white fat woman to play Ursula. Smh……
Why they didn’t casting Chole instead? F*** u stupid Disney. You know what, f******* can be Ursula😂🤣😂🤣 I’m sure she will does perfect job for that villain role
Don’t you mean Chloe?!! You fckn idiot 😂😂😂 talking all that sht and can’t even spell. Go back to school dummy 🤪
B****, that’s the correct way to spell “ Chlöe” you funny h** is missing two dots above O, just like your s** n:I:pples got chop off😂🤣
How stupid can you be 🤣🤣🤣 the proof is there ☝🏽 you clearly didn’t know how to spell it. Been that way for a few weeks 😂😂😂 now you wanna correct it. Child boo, have a seat broke ugly one 🥴
Flop. I’m black & i don’t want to see a black little mermaid & especialy halle bailey pistoned beyonce lion king. Why they don’t try to do right black movie like black panther. the only good cast is Melissa McCarthy. SO sad for all children who see the anime version.
STFU c***. Halle will be a wonderful Ariel.
she’s ugly as f*** probably like you
Same they lead isn’t that pretty to play Ariel. She looks like an alien or get a prettier Caramel girl for the lead. But you know why they didn’t choose white cause then they will call it being racist etc.
😂
This is what Camicky the Clown wanted
But she was dropped from a movie studio
I think it’s absolutely RIDICULOUS that people think this is a win for minorities. What Hollywood should be doing is creating original characters of colour, not giving us crumbs by turning existing iconic characters into other ethnicities and expect us to lick massa’s boots in gratitude. How come it’s always the ginger characters that get it too? Why can’t they have representation? So dumb. Make new black characters. Invest in black story tellers. They couldn’t even give her a red wig like…what?! She would’ve look amazing with some red twists or braids but whatever…these remakes are trash anyway. Haven’t seen a good one yet.
Well said 👏🏼 Will they casting a white woman for chun li? Oh hell no. Disney had been f****** with the original characters. They are going down💅🏿
Black people never satisfied stfu
Exactly all they do is cry wolf and just shut the f up. Where are the Asians and Latinos etc throwing fits.
Exactly. They truly make me sick.
I’m half black, half Latino but okay 😂
2023? Did I read that correctly 🤔
Right! Wtf! 😑
she the one who tryna f*** jayz he want some fresh ocean p****..shout out to jaaaaay
Same as Rihanna’s w h o r e life💅🏿 Queen B clap back with her gurl, not random gurl from Barbados🤳🏻
If they hire someone white, the studio has too listen to TONS of complaints. If they hire someone black, they have to listen to TONS complaints. Whites always complain, and guess what, blacks ALWAYS complain. Studios can’t win. They are either racist or woke, depending on the complainer.
Oh, and this create new characters NONSENSE…They do create NEW characters and no one cares. EVER.
Lmaoooo they need to change halle bailey as ariel, shes gonna make it flop just like chloe whatshername is floppong down itunes lmaoooo🤣🤣🤣
When will f******* got her lead role? 💅🏿 B I t c h, let me know😂🤣😂🤣
Shits TRASH.
Halle berry is 55 years old and the last person I would ever picture playing aerial!!!! The little mermaid is one of my favorite movies of all time I’ve seen it a lot ever since my mom first brought the vhs version home when it first came out. I just don’t get this.
