Article: Disney’s first ‘Black mermaid’ movie trailer and reactions
Source: Insight via Instagram
1. [+451] But still… racism aside, this is a bit..
2. [+408] Jung Ho Yeon would be better suited
3. [+280] This isn’t it…
4. [+278] All this PC stuff is ruining so many works ㅋㅋ
5. [+188] Is Jung Ho Yeon going to be the next Disney mermaid
6. [+98] She’s a good singer and her acting’s great… but this isn’t it..
7. [+88] Who’s King Triton then? Snoop Dogg?
8. [+66] I don’t like this Ariel
9. [+126] Who pressed all the spacebars between her eyes?
10. [+144] It’s a Denmark fairy tale with a black princess… This is like having Tom Cruise play Nelson Mandela
11. [+18] Oof, I’d rather have Cha Eunwoo play this role…
12. [+19] Mmm… I’m not being racist… but this is just so different from the image I have of my beloved Ariel … ㅠㅠㅠ She should at least have big eyes like Ariel ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ Ariel… where are you ㅠㅠ
13. [+29] Ariel’s always been white skinned with bright red hair to me… or am I being too old fashioned now ㅠㅠ
14. [+8] They should cast Jackie Chan as Sebastian too then
15. [+4] This is not a distortion of history or Denmark. There is no coral in the North Sea so it makes more sense that it takes place closer to the Caribbean, which is why a Black mermaid would make sense
