I wasn't going to make a comment on this. When both films are straight-ass from the get-go (do you really think Daily Wire would make a good movie? With Ben Shapiro there? Who is untalented as fuck in his career as a filmmaker?), do you really think I would have more to say?
These two films are lining up to be the worst yet. The Daily Wire's version is of course reactionary bs to Disney's live-action bs.
Of course, Daily Wire can say whatever they want to say but it's clear they don't care about that when it's reactionary bullshit that is their MO. I snorted when I read their statement about making this movie. Why the hell should I believe them?
If they really care, they really shouldn’t be reactionary to Disney live-actions that are criticized for adding nothing to the table. It’s only with Snow White, that they produce their own instead of the other times or even when the BATB LA whole thing. Really, reactionary to the poor publicity the two main leads from SWLA and that Disney will take bad publicity to drive up interest which Daily Wire doesn’t seem to care or even think of. Fuck, since the CGI dwarves' revelation after the grandstanding of different characters as the dwarves' counterparts, the SWLA is a subject of bile fascination more than it already is. The Daily Wire version has no legs to stand on their grand plan to supposedly think they can do better when I know Daily Wire never produces a good movie in their entire lives. The Daily Wire as always is reactionary to a product that after TLMLA barely broke even or even lost money. Of course, Daily Wire has a tunnel vision when it comes to the woke media but they don’t seem to think that Hollywood losing money now has nothing to do with woke. Do you really think they would really care that Hollywood is losing money due to spending too much when that's not necessary and pumping out those films every year that the term blockbuster loses its meaning? All of Daily Wire's arguments boil down to a narrowed argument to the bigger picture.
Wokeness in their definition means it’s the core of everything bad when it’s performative activism and not doing their due diligence as well as knowing when to have fun as well and not leaning so hard into trying to be progressive that they turn right back to conservative are the main problems. Look at the Puritanism bs in fandom spaces.
Godoka, these guys never expressed interest in anime. What would they think about Bon Clay coming next season in OPLA? Yeah, they’ll reveal themselves to be false with no knowledge but their own ignorance.
Honestly, given how people complain that Snow White isn't the right race, they haven't heard of Snow White Fairest of Them All starring Kristin Kreuk, a mixed-race actress of Chinese descent?
It's just awful because I've seen people complain about the casting of One Piece Live Action's adaptation. Have they not heard of the SBS?! If they are OP fans as they said they were, they should already know this. I haven't caught up with One Piece since finishing WCI and was waiting for Wano to finish and even I knew that the entire cast of One Piece is supposed to be diverse. Luffy being Brazilian or Mexican is supposed to be canon.
Why the fuck is that wannabe star Lucas Amorim, a Brazilian actor, going so hard with the money even though nobody is auditioning in a middle of a strike? He hasn’t shown an acting reel of the capacity of emotions needed for Ace or what he likes about Ace or attempting to act out lines from the original. All he got is cosplay and a previous audition for Luffy no less.
Wannabe actors for Ace are annoying. Ace is a popular character but for the sake of Arceus, they aren’t doing any more than showing they are unfit to be Ace.
The casting crew and Oda reject cosplayers and are looking at actors who are natural and can encapsulate the character whether they know the material or not. Jacob Gibson’s audition for Usopp exemplified this; it’s natural and exudes Usopp.
Oda didn't expect to find a real-life Luffy willed into reality by the universe just walking around Mexico as a largely unknown actor waiting to be discovered. He laughed because it's fucking Luffy right there!
With the strike ending, these wannabe Aces can attempt to audition or for Lucas Amorim, audition as a different character. If he doesn’t get Ace, would he audition as another character the next season showing his desperation? I don’t want him in OPLA and should be let down gently but if he tries again, he’s going to be mocked.
I don't mind actors of different ethnicity playing these fairytale characters but at least they know what they are.
The two Snow Whites don't know who they are but one is misguided but mismanaged due to the dwarves' issue (really it’s Disney about overpromising or attempting a grand statement by sticking to their guns) and the other is reactionary and does not have good intentions (why the fuck are they caring about Disney remakes targeting specifically one aspect?! There are tons of problems about the remakes but wokeness is not the problem. I am not associated with those people whose only criticism is saying that it’s woke, a common criticism from them unless it becomes popular, and even then they twist themselves into a pretzel just to explain that it’s woke anyway).
Seriously, do you really believe the right wing would actually go all the way with the iron-hot red shoes that the evil queen would be forced to dance in at her stepdaughter's wedding? How about the fact that the prince liked the dead princess and asked the dwarves to take her to a proper burial at his palace until the poisoned apple was dislodged from Snow White's throat from a bump?
Their cognitive dissonance as well as their hatred in general made it pretty damn clear they hate women as a means of power.
Even Bentkey’s better shows, by comparison, Mabel Mclay doesn’t have Shapiro’s overseeing eyes as opposed to Chip Chilla and still lacked the awareness that Mister Rogers, Sesame Street, and Muppets are political as fuck back in the day.
I’m saying original shows here not whatever rights they secured.
Had their best shows been shown elsewhere, I wouldn’t feel that Daily Wire insists they are the right everything with the 100-dollar registration subscription. That they are the best alternative when everything they do that they are the overseers of is uncreative.
They aren’t the best alternative when their mentality of Disney’s queer rep is to be an absolute zero when almost zero rep seems to be enough for them to scream wokeness. It’s hilarious and sad.
I'm crying...crying from laughter because the right wing is intentionally hurting others while doing what they don't preach.
Sound Horizon's Marchen under Revo's songwriting has Snow White with all the sheer horrors that were known in the original fairy tale. Snow White was actually dead! Snow White gave an evil laugh as she watched her stepmother or mother if you care about interpretation die! It's implied that this Snow White didn't take care of the dwarves and is implied to be vain that like her stepmother/mother, she will end up envying her own daughter and trying to kill her, repeating the cycle of violence! It’s heavily implied this Snow White had been sexually assaulted or raped by her dad which led to her deteriorating sanity to think her mom is her stepmom! As a bonus, since it's not originally from the fairytale, the prince is necrophilic. Just to let you know, the rock opera Marchen has metaphors for the Black Death and has a connection to other Sound Horizon works. Note that all interpretations are valid in Revo's words for his Sound Horizon's discography so all of these I just mentioned is just one interpretation of the many.
I doubt the Daily Wire would go all full Grimm on us. Even the Brothers Grimm movie starring Heath Ledger and Matt Damon is far more competent in using the Grimm fairytales than anybody in the right-wing conservatives who we know have poor media literacy skills. I'd trust Steven Sondheim and Revo to use the Grimm nature of the fairytales to tell a story well with all the interpretations that are viable to tell the story to them. Daily Wire has no such compunction to tell a story of their caliber because their Snow White product is reactionary to Disney and the overall woke they fear. They don’t want to honor the original fairytale or take inspiration from it. They are unimaginative and lack creative vision other than woke Disney is bad with no thoughtful nuance. Do you really think they would consider Lindsay Ellis’ video at all? Hell no, they refuse to watch her.
I would recommend Sound Horizon's Marchen, Snow White Fairest of Them All, and the original Disney classic over these two movies. Even foreign adaptations that aren't from America are better than these two films.
Sydney White, Tale of Terror, Huntsman, and Mirror Mirror are far better than these two movies.
Will they actually go up against the worst of the worst Snow White animation films with these two films? Well, these films are still going to be shit and so are those films but I feel like those two are of a different beast because of the reactionary bs in one and the indecisiveness and lack of imagination in another.
Of course, I refuse to comment on the whole Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot, and Greta Gerwig's mess regarding the whole film. I ignored anything regarding the Daily Wire's version; the only thing I did was confirm who was on board and went off my merry way after confirmation because I didn't need more.
Ah, Greta Gerwig. A talented director but has some failings. I do take issue with her seeming siding with the studios with her wanting to work with them on bigger-budget films. Certainly, directors do need a line of work too but does she need to? She certainly wants to with the Narnia.
Talented but still a point of criticism because she doesn't need to work with them. Working with A24 is far better because at least they were literally exempted due to the fact they agreed to everything.
As for Gal Gadot, while her accent would definitely make her not a solid actress in English, her politics didn't really mesh well because never mind Wondy is a hard character to capture, she is just hard in general in terms of everything due to the ever-changing writing. I'm not talking about adaptations here but the original source.
I love Wondy, I love Wonderfam, I love Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark. You bet your ass I would scoop up Laropins and Nuwa’s ladies I want. I’m waiting for Wave 5 from Nuwa that you cannot imagine my anticipation. As much as WW1 is the better film of the two with the sequel just being sheer badness, I want Wondy and the rest of her family to be depicted faithfully. Donna and Dick's friendship in Titans the show was undeniably the best out of the many, many terrible choices.
As for Rachel Zegler, she really is talented and her career shouldn't be torpedoed because of one bad movie. All I can say about her is just pure naivety.
Never mind the movie was pushed back three years post-production after they wrapped. Reshoots, anyone?
The Daily Wire version isn't much better. Even if it's going to be released this year, it's not gonna be good by any means.
I'm pretty sure that after I see it on a pirating site, I will go see a better Snow White or adaptation right afterward to wipe the sour taste out of my mouth after that horrible experience.
I'm a fairytale lover. I have been subjected to terrible adaptations of fairy tales forever. The live-action Disney films are nonsensical as they are performative as they don't want to rock the boat too much but at the same time, they are still better than the Republicans and the entire right-wing radicals any day of the week who want me dead. All Disney wants is my money but Republicans want me dead.
I'd rather be subjected to the Disney live-action remakes over the Daily Wire version any day of the week. Lindsay Ellis had already spoken at length about Woke Disney in her dedicated video about just how they utterly ignore the racial implications rather than acknowledge or do something more about it. Performative and full of shit but at least there are hints of talent even if stifled by corporate. Sideways has spoken at length that the corporation doesn't trust the actors to sing their versions with proper training. Emma Watson wanted to learn but yeah, nope, not Disney. People shouldn't blame Emma Watson for her bad singing when so many circumstances don't let her sing as well as her peers Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint. I fully accept knowing the TWST Tapis Rouge event was purely to promote the film which is funny and not at the same time because of course as a Disney product, it should be promoting an upcoming movie but at the same time, TWST feels more like it has more effort in it.
I am going to pirate the shit out of these films and never look back at them again after that. I can look back fondly on the other adaptations and even grew to like the adaptations I mentioned. I'm not the biggest fan of Huntsman but it's still far better than this shit.
Really, the way the reactionary conservative people saying woke about these works featuring POC characters and stories, it says a lot that they didn't seem to remember the period before the Disney remake where we got Huntsman or other turnouts that attempted to make the protagonists more proactive.
Even Sydney White had her try to be the school president or whatever position the Evil Queen counterpart was supposed to be.
Is it because Kristen Stewart was white? Because that's really the problem they don't seem to remember it.
The Daily Wire version is utter bs as is the Disney live-action counterpart.
At worst, the live-action Disney counterpart could tarnish the original animated movie that started it all or dissolve in the background. It could either be forgettable or so bad it's not going to be good to watch.
At least we know the Daily Wire version will die a horrible death due to the sheer fact it's gonna be terrible under the awful handling of those guys who have the same mindset of the Christian media that we have seen at their worst.
Outside of Critical Drinker and other conservative media reviewers who always complain about woke Disney, I haven't seen shit from others I usually see like Smarty Pants or ModernGurlz ever talk about that.
And really why should they when they are well aware the movie will end up being shit anyway?
I never liked the Critical Drinker in the first place but sheesh.
You would think the association with Daily Wire is a red flag that the movie will be shit. The people behind the movie that I have seen so far don't have good records about making a good movie. Ben Shapiro's movies are awful and you can just look at Jose ripping apart all of that.
If Jose is gonna rip apart that movie, then I'll gladly watch it. I know that Jose knows even if I don't actually know him that the movie under Ben Shapiro's eye (executive producer) is gonna be bad.
Just look at those I mentioned. They are far more worth your time even if some I did mention are mediocre but putting it in contrast the time they were released with the time the woke material is made because of consciousness of experience of color is exponential.
The irony that I have a Disney fantasy pin (a fanmade pin as it is used in the pin community to refer to) is a Nuwa FTD Evil Queen that the fact Snow White adaptations are coming is funny. It really wasn’t my fault that I love that FTD pin in particular. She was just lovely in her art style I fell in love with her. As much as I love Disney, I don’t collect Disney. Whatever Disney merch I do have, they’re gifts from others whereas the Nuwa FTD is mine alone. All I’m begging is that my designated girls don’t sell out. I heard LE Meg sold out 2 minutes flat. The reason why the FTD is in the secret shop is because they are Disney. It makes the stock last longer not that it had Yzma and Winter Belle selling out fast. I’m anticipating future designs so this is the only Disney pins I ever will have. Not that help much considering Yzma sold out fast.
I don’t participate in Disney pin trading. Sure they are nice to look at but it either looks like they took the official art or barely changed much when designing new things that look new. I understand the point of recognition but I would love to see more. I’m generally a picky person hence why the traders (either from commitment groups or freebies; I'll likely just give all Sunday designs to gift my cousin who is a massive Sunday fan eventually. I like pretty art but I can just give those to my cousin.) I do get is eventually going to be sold.
