Little Mermaid box office and what does it say about Asia's racism

I took that as sarcasm.

Hey, I’m an Al and I don’t think it’s funny.

Short for Alan, not Alien. Before you ask.

Yep, definitely AI… :sweat_smile:

Maybe they just prefer My Little Pony.

Alien and Avatar is the same damn movie…

2018 was a very different time. Also most Taiwanese youth views Black Panther as a bad loser who can’t accept defeat, and cheats his way back into the throne by playing dirty.

I feel like Disney stopped focusing on making a movie just for kids that’s magical for them (and adults to enjoy) and started to listen to what some adults think should have or should be in the movie.

This is imo, why they’re currently not doing so well and trying to distract us with their Florida/DeSantis battles.

Do taiwanese also think Dwight Howard is a loser who came to their country to play basketball?

Probably, deep down…but he’s better than all the local players, so they probably don’t want to follow that train of logic too far.

None that I know of who are keen basketball fans. He is just taking advantage of a sports skill set most do not have. People would be happy to earn as much as he does even though it will only be for a short period of his life.

Taiwanese prefer local maids? :sushi:

Howard was a lot nicer to Jeremy Lin than Carmelo Anthony or James Harden. So most Taiwanese basketball fans always viewed him more positively.

The issue most Taiwanese youth take with Black Panther is that Kill Monger won the throne by playing by the established rules for contending the throne. So T’challa should have lived with the result.

To provide some background on the songs in Little Mermaid composed and written by Howard Ashman.

Also, Trevor Noah’s reactions to the backlash of Halle’s casting back when he was still hosting the Daily Show.

The tail doesn’t do it for me, but waist up is nice

The eyes are far apart, but I find it exotic. Cookie cutter girls that have surgery to look the same is kinda boring

Bold casting choice, choosing a black man to be Black Panther

They didn’t do a great CG for the tails. I mean Ariel’s tail is already fine, there are a whole bunch of mer-people’s tails that just look weird.

He wasn’t dead and hadn’t yielded, according to the rules he hadn’t lost

He was dead, just resurrected by dias ex flora.

I haven’t seen the movie, just as a personal preference I’m more of a leg man. Tough to get the scales outta the sheets, etc.

It’d be hard for Prince Eric and Ariel to get together if she don’t have no legs. She’d have to lay her eggs attached to some reef, and Prince Eric would have to… uh… I’ll just stop right there.
