@SN_Monkey@HowardMarkLouis But you can’t even grasp the concept of treatment of 3,000 year old stories, or the cultural significance. Or the fact that Moana cultural integrity remained intact.
I know you won’t be able to digest these words re-re. But worth a shot 🤭
@SN_Monkey@HowardMarkLouis I was very clear.
Its not the likes it was the lack of agreeance on any of your statements.
Meanwhile someone agreed you’re a he/him gorilla, I mean
BRACE YOURSELVES!
Andy Serkis just told the BBC that his "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" will not be race-swapping any characters!
He says the film will not be a "ticking boxes" production.
When asked why the film's announced cast (Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Kate Winslet, Jamie Dornan, and Anya Taylor-Joy) consists entirely of white actors, he cited Tolkien's heavy reliance on Norse mythology as a guiding influence, and said that the Shire reflects that cultural homogeneity.
Do you think Hollywood is finally getting the message?
@SN_Monkey@HowardMarkLouis Okay “free Palestine” so they can organize terrorist attacks.
He/him in your bio as if we can’t tell the big silverback in the photo isn’t a man.
‘Cis,’ doubtful. You got the boy in the plastic bubble mentality.
@SN_Monkey@HowardMarkLouis No these are two sides of the same coin. Mythology being catered to vs defaced. Your unwillingness to see it that way means you’ve been indoctrinated. Open your fucking eyes
@IForteI@kangminlee If you don’t know the textbook definition just say that.
Is that not the whole convo being had? Idiot.
Mind you, you’re part of the same group crying over ‘white savior complex’
@SN_Monkey@HowardMarkLouis Bro thought he had a point 🤣 not here to argue Moana specifics lmfao.
One side, mythology being catered to. The other is defaced with monkeys. Do the math bro, they want to erase you.
@tweets4twits@sapp742 It’s not rewritten. It’s been defaced.
Yall so obsessed with washing out white people it’s sad there’s people looking like lupita begging for rice but you think it’s cute she’s Felon of Troy
I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...
...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.
Why?
Because they were GREEK characters.
I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.
I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.
They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.
And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.
We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.
Odysseus is a GREEK hero.
Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.
Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.
Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."
It’s just insulting.
Stop it.
