The way the movie didn’t even come out yet and you’re talking about culture. Who’s culture? A fish?

@atimaf7 The Little Mermaid was originally written in Danish by a Danish author. I’m not sure how much of an impact it really has on Danish culture. <br /> <br /> Denmark does have a little mermaid statue but so does Monaco. A statue also does not indicate cultural impact. Heck America has a Rocky statue, I wouldn’t say Rocky had a cultural impact on America though. <br /> <br /> If @eon4dk was being genuine I would be open and willing to listen to their opinion. However a quick look at their comment history reveals several political buzzwords like “leftists ideology”(guessing on the second word because they didn’t use a real word, I had to guess as to which word they were trying to use.) and “woke”. <br /> <br /> if they were being genuine and about their culture surely they would be upset about Shirley Temple's Storybook’s adaptation as she does not give up her voice to become human and the other changes to the original story. They did not comment on or rate it. <br /> <br /> Surely they would be upset by the 1976 Russian adaptation as she gives up her hair for legs and other changes to the original story. They did not comment on or rate it. <br /> <br /> Surely they would be upset about Disney’s 1989 animated adaptation with how loosely it was based on the original story. Even Going so far to have sqequels and an animated tv series. No comment or rating on any of them.<br /> <br /> Surely they would be upset by any of the slew of other adaptations with the changes they have made to the original story. No comment or rating on any of them.<br /> <br /> You could say well maybe they haven’t seen them, that didn’t stop them here. I highly suspect they know nothing of the original story and may not know anything about any of the adaptations. <br /> <br /> They may not even know anything about danish culture. I’m am however not going to go as far to speculate on their Danish heritage.<br /> <br /> I will however would say they are disingenuous in their comment and rating(’m not sure how you can rate something you’ve never seen, it’s dishonest.)<br /> <br /> that their rating was completely politically based and for whatever reason they could not be honest with themselves or anyone about their the reason for their outrage in their comment. Which makes me hope they are not actually Danish as it would be insulting to the heritage to use it as a scapegoat for their displaced anger.

@black_tide dumbass it’s to represent that they are in charge of the seven seas, in 7 different regional areas. and no duh it’s dark underwater that’s how it is in polluted areas, as you can see in the movie there is ton of human waste and belonging crowding the sea.

@1unbx Then they should throw you in the sea of sh** because that's all you are and ever will be. <br /> Your so dumb you think all the creature in the sea don't produce waste and that the deeper you go its more human waste thst makes it darker not the fact that less sun penetrates the deeper you go. <br /> <br /> God I wish you were in that submarine that imploded trying to reach the Titanic. Most dump people know they are deep down. You are so ignorant you really think your smart. <br /> No I missed the part where everyone is taking huge dumps in the ocean like Indians do in that filthy river they bath in once a year. Must be where you got that idea.

@atimaf7 @TwiztidJuggla420 is trying to make a children’s film political. I see no other complaints about any of the numerous other changes Disney made to the original story.

@FuckYouToo23 Hans Christian Andersen(author of the original story) never said the main character had red hair. He said “Her skin was as soft and tender as a rose petal, and her eyes were as blue as the deep sea” the chances of her having red hair and blue eyes is about 0.17%. Given the available information she had blue eyes and was written by a Danish author. It would be probable she was white, with blue eyes and blonde hair(prominent hair color of the story’s origin during that time, even more so with blue eyes). The red hair and even the name Ariel (which is a Hebrew predominantly male name) are additions added by Disney. Given all that information don’t you think it’s kinda silly that you’re ok with Disney making the original changes to the character but being against any further changes ?

@hgram I thought the CGI was gorgeous. Obviously it's not going for a look of realism, it's stylized.

@morphinapg The CGI looked so bad that I'm honestly wondering if there was something wrong with the projection in my theater :person_shrugging:

Agreed. Halle bailey was great and while i wouldnt say the movie was bad it was whatever… i was quite bored throughout the second half of the movie. <br /> Also thought melissa mccarthy was awful as ursula… her counterpart vanessa however was FANTASTIC and i wish there was more of her. But yeah overall meh 10/10 for halle but the movie was a weak 6/10

@hgram Funny how I found the "Scuttlebutt" song the best song of the entire movie, not to say the only good song of the movie...

the movie has MANY flaws, but the "scuttleboat" song was, by far, the best song of this movie for me.
