    What hurts my soul is that there will be kids who will never see the original and instead see this movie. Also the fact some will defend this by saying they want to relive the original. Just watch the original! Seriously, it’s not like they didn’t exist. All in all, I plan to rewatch the original today and remember that great film.

      Any decent parents will show their kids the original first.
      That's why the new Star Wars movies and Trek movies didn't do as well as Disney thought they would - they decided a new generation needed new movies and would be an untapped audience, not realizing that most of those "new" audience members grew up watching the originals with their parents and that shaped their taste and their expectation of what a sequel should be.

    I think the change that upsets me the most is that Eric doesn’t save Ariel like he does in the original. Because Triton goes on for the entire film about how all humans are dangerous. And while his prejudice is justified, it’s still wrong. Here you have a human actively risking his life to save his daughter and proves Triton’s point wrong.
    And so, what better way to prove to Triton that Ariel will be happy than letting her go be with man who proved him wrong about humans? It’s a massive piece of character development for Triton that’s completely erased by removing Eric’s bravery.
    The story of the original movie was never about a woman giving up everything for a man. It was about a father and daughter learning how to accept each other and about said father learning that he has to let his daughter be free to make her own decisions.
    By removing this aspect, you remove a key aspect of Triton’s acceptance of his daughter going to be with Eric.

    I need to know who Awkwafina's talent agent is, because I have no idea how this woman keeps getting so many roles in very high profile movies when everyone finds her voice grating and she's pretty much typecasted to play the same unfunny character over and over again. This is the second Disney film she stars in, and I thought her voicing Sisu was enough, somehow, they made it worse here. Hearing that rap made me think it'd be perfect to torture criminals for in order to get information.

      He got other daughters representing the seven seas, and since the setting for the original little mermaid movie makes more sense to have taken place in a warm climate (calypso music, palace architecture, trees, and sabastian’s accent), it makes total sense why triton might’ve got down with a black mermaid n created a black Ariel. Also, we don’t even see Eric’s parents in the original, so the story they give him in this movie is plausible. Also, Javier bardem is Spanish from the Canary Islands, off the coast of northeast Africa. Him n a black mermaid could absolutely have made a brown skinned Ariel

      She acts reasonably well when she's interacting with Eric. But when she's alone, there's a lot of blank stares.
      A pro actor will always think about the context of the shot, about what just happened to the character a moment ago and what they're seeing now, and based on that the actor will dream up some kind of mental process that's happening in the character's mind during the shot. And then, in front of camera they will act it out. They put something behind the eyes for us to see.

      It made $550m vs a budget of at least $250m. Plenty of info out there that marketing for big budget movies adds at least another $100m. So this film needed to make at least $700m at box office to even break even, and it probably needed closer to $800-850m. So it was not made for the money. Because it, like almost all recent Disney movies, is on pace to lose money or barely break even. That was not what Disney used to hope for with it's $250-300m movies. Crazy how far up their own DEI and ESG butt they are now. Their decision making as a megalomaniacal corporation focused on world domination and profit are really surprising. hahaha
