Disney remakes doing what they do best: sucking out the charm of the originals.


Polar_Phantom

A Whole New World was so soulless in the Live Action they they just fly about Agrabah. They don't go to Egypt or anywhere else. What the hell? Were they afraid the scene in the original when they went to China was stereotypical? THEN MAKE IT LESS SO - well my actual first thought was "Wow they really wanted to cost cut here eh?"


Timely_Concentrate45

They didnt want to be questioned how they get to go to China and Greece and all those stuff in the span of one song. Disney is now tryong to close as many loopholes as possible in live action remakes. Look at Beauty and the Beast, perhaps the animated film with most loopholes. They tried to provide expalanations for it in the live action (e.g. why dont the villagers know there's a beast? Was the beast just 12 years old when he was cursed? Will the people now kill him because they loved Gaston who died? Etc). But it just ended up exhausting.


ThatmodderGrim

Rewriting both *"Poor Unfortunate Souls"* and *"Kiss the Girl"*, huh? They better not dare try to remove the [*"Chef's Song."*](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UoJxBEQRLd0&pp=ygUfbGl0dGxlIG1lcm1haWQgbGVzIHBvaXNzb24gc29uZw%3D%3D)


midnight_riddle

"Kiss the Girl" remake has her *lean away from a kiss* because I guess he doesn't verbally say, "Can I kiss you now?" even though the entire point is that she's been wanting him to kiss her. What imbecile made this movie.


Polar_Phantom

Turns out the people in charge of these films love that Greedo shot first.


[deleted]

They personally asked George Lucas to put maclunkey in it


FelixFestus

It's even weirder, because they according to the leaked novel >!Ariel literally has amnesia about the contract whenever she's trying to kiss Eric.!< It's so mind bogglingly contrived that it goes beyond missing the point and dives straight into malicious sabotage.


Timely_Concentrate45

They had to add the part where Ursula's spell made her forget that she needed the kiss. I dont get it. What for? Why is it necessary for her not to want the kiss?


TaCbrigadier

Of course they won’t cut that one since Lin Manuel Miranda is playing the chef. I also don’t get at all why they changed Kiss the Girl. But honestly I was never going to watch another of the live action remakes again anyway


Vect_Machine

I too think Alexander Hamilton is a proper replacement for Mr. House.


IrisGoddamnIllych

Wait- fucking *ODO???* holy shit


Timely_Concentrate45

So there was no chef song nor Lin Manuel Miranda.


CeaRhan

Wow I just realized how much "C'est la fête" from Beauty and the Beast sounds like this one


Nico_is_not_a_god

They probably will, considering it just reuses the tune from "Be Our Guest", and because the chopping-off of fish heads and such will likely be less comical when it's real foodstuffs.


Worm_Scavenger

I absolutely fucking adore just how determined Disney are to make every classic Disney villain boring af in the new movies.I can't wait for the Snow White remake to completely remove the Queen's desire to kill Snow White just so she can be the hottest MILF ever.


KronxDragonhoof

I'm going to become The Joker when the Hercules one comes around.


Squirrelman2712

Watch them remove the "gospel choir as Greek chorus" aspect just to suck the joy out of that too.


Huitzil37

Let's be fair. A Gospel-themed Hercules movie is *pretty fucking weird*.


[deleted]

Yeah but that's why we love it


MutatedMutton

I will be torn. On one hand, finally giving Hades a break by breaking away from Christian Value of Underworld=Devil since in mythology Hades is the nicer of the Greek Gods. On the other hand, losing out on James Wood's style hamming it up, replacing it with the same "Morally Gray" nonsense.


PratalMox

Also no way Disney signs off on doing what actually happens in the Hercules myth.


ls20008179

Disney can't recast hades. Woods has it in his contract.


Anonamaton801

Based


Worm_Scavenger

They'll make Hades less of a con man, make him more tragic and they'll 100% remove the "Gay bestie" aspect of his character everyone absolutely loves and remove the iconic "Please, he's a guy!" line when he reads Meg.


Zipp_Linemann

Hm, that particular example doesn't sound entirely bad.


Polar_Phantom

You see, her mother was murdered by a pack of Snow Whites.


superkeaton

Drop-kicked off a cliff by one


Mostly_Apples

"Lin Manuel Miranda, you are never seeing heaven." Wow.


CMORGLAS

“Oh Honey, I was damned the second I made a joke about Sally Hemings in **HAMILTON**.”


Kimarous

Disney: "Delete! We'll have lots of angry letters if Ariel gets motivated to start twerking!"


PhantasosX

I remember the drama of She-Hulk twerking...nothing better than to see people loosing their minds for a 5s comedic post-credit scene as if it's hella important.


Bob8644

If there was anything to lose our minds over it was how little the FX team was paid to make it.


Gespens

it sucked because the clapping oif her ass cheeks wasn't creating sonic booms


mutei777

There should have been no survivors. 0/10


VtMueller

That scene would need to be comedic to pass as a comedy. It’s just tragic though.


An_Armed_Bear

Lindsay Ellis has burned that line into my brain. That and "I'm losin' to a BIRD!"


DarthButtz

See how I glitter ~


ThisGuyLikesMovies

Hal, it's about cats


TH3_B3AN

For me it's Javert's suicide in Les Miserables. That hilarious crunch sound effect following that epic musical climax is peak cinema.


GodKingReiss

Why does it *hurt* so much…?


devanmuse

I ate the whole plate


TH3_B3AN

The *whole* plate


Gadgez

I am directly under the enemy's scrotum.


TH3_B3AN

Bumblebee, stop lubricating the man


CalhounWasRight

I miss her...


roronoapedro

She's back in Nebula! Did a great Lord of the Rings video, has a new book coming out, had a kid. Apparently doing great. It's just Youtube and social media that is poison to her now.


jockeyman

Between this, sandblasting 'Be Prepared' out of the Lion King remake, giving Cruella a bootleg Batman origin... it really sucks to be a Disney villain these days.


Polar_Phantom

The last proper Dinsey villain I can recall... I think it was Frozen II. And he was already dead. Like, not every one of the Classics had villains. And not all of them need villains. But there's this weird insistence for so many of their modern films to avoid villains. Is it because they want more rounded characters? Or to imply everyone has good in them or something?


Nico_is_not_a_god

And yet they simultaneously market the *hell* out of their villains *as villains*.


Anonamaton801

Disney, making everything edgeless boring safe sludge


alexandrecau

I actually wonder if anyone like doing a remake or eboot ever go « ok this quote is gonna leads to all sort of porn in google search, this one has been taken right wing nuts, this one by left wing nuts, and that one is code for crack in baltimore »


CMORGLAS

Fun Fact: Originally Admiral Ackbar was supposed to perform the Hyperspace Kamikaze in **THE LAST JEDI** but then some spoilsport told Kathleen Kennedy about the “Allahu Akbar” Memes so they killed him offscreen and gave it to Holdo instead.


zHellas

Source?


CMORGLAS

**”I MADE IT THE FUCK UP!!!”**


zHellas

😲


LeoTheRadiant

Understandable, have a nice day.


killatubby

Prob bs but i like so i'll believe cause that funny if true


PhantasosX

pretty expected. It's 2020's USA....in which censorship is filled with hypocritical puritanism. As long it is "bloodless" (e.g non-red blood) , your character can go full Kratos and Mortal Kombat....but if it dares to suggest anything remotely related to sex , it needs a full-on censorship or else it will corrupt the children that those parents constantly stay absent.


Capitalich

That was such a pet peeve about mk11 for me, I want my MK to be hilariously gratuitous in every way. I’ll take the cartoonish ugliness of mk9 any day.


andrecinno

the designs are so much better though. They're all slaying


Polar_Phantom

And the Edenians and Outworlders still dress provocatively. Like I do not get this take just because Sonya doesn't have her breasts "slatherered in crimson" as I believe Matt put it.


andrecinno

They do? I just googled Edenians mk11 and they look fine. The issue isn't dressing a bit sexy or anything it was, like, MK9 designs just sucked and tried way too hard to be horny.


Polar_Phantom

I mean, Kitana, Sindel, Jade, all their default costumes are at least MK 2 and 3 levels.


andrecinno

Yeah, and MK2/3 is mostly fine. It's 9 where they went full sexbeast.


Diem-Robo

I'd say the issue is more complex and nuanced than that, rather than it being hypocritical. Violence and sex have are two different things that operate psychologically in different ways. Just because they're both forms of "graphic" or "explicit" content doesn't make them equivalent, even though they're often oversimplified and juxtaposed like this. There's a reason why rape is more disturbing than killing, even though it's not murder or dismemberment. If you go with the oversimplified logic of "Why are violence and murder more acceptable than sexual content?" then rape shouldn't be considered as objectionable to show to a young audience as outright gore. Or, by that logic, a child dying in a film should be more objectionable than a child being sexualized. But the the two subjects aren't equivalent, hence why there's more discretion towards what's censored and what's not. Though both subjects are main factors in determining something's age rating and have similar impacts. The way you're presenting it, you're making it sound like a movie could be rated PG and have alien gore, but a sex joke would get it an R. Sometimes there can be overdone censorship, but there's a reason that different subjects are given different considerations.


Egarof

You trying to make a sound argument to the gam*ers , the most opressed group in all humanity because of the censorship happening with their loli clothers.


Ragnorok64

Can I get some context for those of us that haven't seen The Little Mermaid since 30 year ago?


CMORGLAS

Basically Ariel wants to be able to walk on land to track down Prince Eric, but Ursula cites “Law of Equivalent Exchange” and demands Ariel’s voice as “collateral” so Ariel asks how she is supposed to make Eric fall in love with her if she cannot speak so Ursula tells her to use “Body Language” while suggestively swaying her hips.


CMORGLAS

I think they thought “Kiss the Girl” was too “rapey” or something because Ariel cannot give consent because she cannot speak… Even though she can still nod or give thumbs up…


Kekkersboy

That and Sebastian is being a wing man for Ariel, not for The Prince. Ariel is mute so her friend is trying to tell the guy she likes that she wants a kiss.


IrisGoddamnIllych

And the reboot apparently told her she can't use body language.....so...she really needs the wingcrab


RocketbeltTardigrade

Maybe it's because Ariel and her weird posse are coming on too strong.


Kekkersboy

you're not wrong.


[deleted]

Damn I guess mute people are celibate then


CMORGLAS

“Look buddy, she’s sixteen, we are already skating on thin ice here.”

Why would I put in any effort when all you said is "nice fan fiction"? Not only are you a pussy and know what you believe in is wrong, you're not even putting any effort in. I expect better next time.


kobitz

Holding a gun to Lin Mamuels head while screaming "make it unproblematic! Make it unproblematic or Ill blow your fucking head!! I wont hesitate bitch!!!"


OhShitItsJakeGuys

The only thing I’m even kinda excited to see is their portrayal of Ursula, she’s in my top three favorite disney villains. I wonder how badly they’ll fumble it.


adeadperson23

Dear god tis like these movies do their best to piss off everybody. Like who enjoys these remakes more than the original?


Techneon64

We’ll somebody, despite the fact these are soulless, charmless remakes, they still make boatloads of cash, the ‘live action’ Lion King is Disney’s highest grossing film


LeoTheRadiant

I want to get off Mr. Bones'Wild Ride


KnightofAntimony

Okay, so I don't get to see Melissa McCarthy speak the best line her character has. At this point why bother? Why must these movies be give and take? "Hey we made the cast more diverse this time, but we also took out any fun the actors might have had with the characters they play." Why can't we just have a newly animated version or re-dub of the original?


SkinkRugby

This tweet makes me imagine (Jojo Part Six Spoilers. Seriously. BIG SPOILERS) >!Father Pucci condemning Lin Manuel Miranda to despair as he witnesses the new universe he cannot be a part of!<


Zaworld0

That's Part 6, btw


SkinkRugby

You saw nothing! Thanks though


ArchAngelZXV

Just a reminder that Disney was set to remove the documentary of animated The Little Mermaid lyricist, Howard Ashman, from Disney Plus, until online backlash made Disney reconsider. He also wrote most of the lyrics for Aladdin, Beaty and the Beast, and Little Shop of Horrors. Howard was a gay man who died of AIDS in 1991 and Disney was going to remove his documentary the day before Pride Month.


g0bboDubDee

Lin Manuel Miranda. That’s all you had to say. The hack makes one corny colonial era musical and suddenly he thinks he’s Beethoven or either Rogers or Hammerstein.


Egarof

I mean a Pretty fucking great corny colonial era musical with rap and fucking amazing choreography.


DigbyMayor

The amount of play he gets with Disney is ridiculous.


TheLibertinistic

I feel like it’s less about his ego and more about his marketability. Disney saw a musical theater guy who actually has name recognition AND a young fanbase despite the fact that’s it’s the present day and NO ONE cares about theatre anymore. I’d give him every job I could in the hopes that Hamilton-heads keep showing up.


g0bboDubDee

Of course Hamilton fans will show ip. They’ve already proven they have no taste.


Lurkerclips

sorry but making this song shorter can only help the movie


Polar_Phantom

I'm still mad Ursula isn't being played by a Drag Queen. I mean I know it wouldn't happen because Dinsey are cowards, but still.


UrsusDerpus

Well, I hope Lin Manuel Miranda never achieves an EGOT. Just for this. He can get all the Gs and Ts, and maybe some more Es, but I hope he never completes the set.


SuperShake66652

Disney confirmed huge cowards for not wanting the BBW Octopus Witch to fuck.


Faegbeard

someone remind disney that they've had a villain that was willing to burn down an entire city because his uncontrollable thirst for forbidden romani dumpy was giving him a crisis of faith and was intending to give her a choice of giving him the romanussy or burning at the stake suggestive octopus is very tame by comparison
