    Sorry if my mic quality sounds like it's coming from a microwave. I plugged my blue yeti to my new tablet just to see how it goes as a pose to my phone where I usually do it. Sorry headphone users.

      This series is more offensive and discriminatory than the movie "Song of the South" for its racist polemic against mexican culture.

      As much as I’d love to see the owl house given enough time to finish it’s originally planned story, I’d much rather we not see Disney butcher it trying to revive it just to make a buck off the people who loved it.

      Well, Disney was always bad so to say. I mean, I was personally never much of a Disney fan, and there was a time where they did have good movies but if you go back far enough, they were just as racist as Primos is. 100 years ago they had cartoons of Mickey Mouse where he did blackface. I know that was a time where the rest of the world was racist too, but now that most people aren't racist, this makes them look really bad. Tbh, I'd kind of like to see a little bit of a downfall with Disney since I think a lot of their stuff is overrated, and I feel bad for the underrated companies that make really good movies, but I still think Prios makes them look bad and I hope it gets banned because I care about the kids who have to watch it and how may people it's offending.

    @sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 Рік тому +14

    I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have a show about a girl struggling with her identity and speaking the language because it wasn’t her first language. I know being mixed myself, it’s always been hard for me to speak the language and connect with my Dad’s heritage despite wanting to be apart of it and connect with it. There really haven’t been many shows for kids exploring that.
    These are valid things to explore but doing it in the way they did was just really ineffective in this intro alone and I really don’t like the way the main actress just insulted and belittled people who take pride in the language being spoken correctly as well as the fair complaints from people about the lighting and the names of the characters and so on.
    The idea for this show was I think a good one. They just went about in the worst way possible and the main actress made it worse.

      The bean faces are in yea. I do like the creative styles of Owl House and Amphibia. The backgrounds are great, character designs are great. Some people don't like the roundness of the new Disney shows. But I think it's not terrible. I think they could totally release more shows with the tangled series vibe. I quite enjoy the art in that one. In the end, it's what sells pretty much

    I'm half mexican, and I don't see a problem with the show. I even showed my mom, who is mexican. She didn't see a problem with it other than the town being named earthquake.
    Also, wasn't it said that the MCs spanish wasn't perfect? Meaning we should expect her to say things wrong. I know a little bit of spanish and I'll say things wrong.

    • @Altes444
      @Altes444 Рік тому +3

      I’m not latino but I’ve been following the situation pretty closely and unfortunately that is the issue. Since most of the show is written by second generation latino immigrants from their own experience, that will absolutely resonate with certain people, and those people won’t see an issue(like you guys!) but in that same reasoning, because it’s written from their own experience, other people can and have seen the “endearing” stuff(like the character names) as offensive. It’s important for showrunners to go through a bunch of checks and balances to make sure that NO community is offended. Its why things often get changed in other language dubs(and why things also get censored for political reasons 😕). Basically it boils down to the fact that a lot of these descisions and names are SUPER tone-deaf(especially “Earthquake heights” I mean, who ok’d that???) and should have been left on the cutting room floor if the writers involved had perhaps asked other members of different latino communities about their opinions. This could have easily been avoided. Not only that but now, after the fact, when the creators are being called out for these aspects, they could have just said: “Hey don’t worry guys, we know what we’re doing, the poor grammar is intentional and the clear stereotypes are going to be broken down throughout the series.” And people would have stopped and maybe even considered watching it. But THEY DIDN’T,(the “she doesn’t know spanish so she gets things wrong” is fine, but it was released After the VA insisted that the Spanish language was a “colonizer” language and therefore they shouldn’t have to care about respecting it, so I’m inclined to believe that they only said that to quell the flames).instead they doubled down because they don’t have any legs to stand on. They can’t guarantee that the rest of the series won’t be filled with stereotypes and incredibly tone-deaf jokes based on the creator’s limited experience. And that sets a terrible precedent for the show.
      Overall the show is probably well intentioned, but desperately requires some rewriting to make sure that every community is happy.

    Theres a lot to criticize about this show, but i find it funny when people criticize that one of the character's names is nacho. like....guys, the nickname comes from Ignacio and it's existed long before the dish. It was named after the guy who invented it. Theres a lot of latino dudes out there named nacho. out of all the things to draw attention to, you pick the one thats not actually offensive.
