Oh so blue..will smith got the disney treatment So yeah alot of people are excited for the live action versions of disney classics...esp the lion king. But apparently not so much with Aladdin.. Well to start off aladdin doesn't fit the current disney pc formula. ( mary sue...where the female hero/rookie takes on the world) Aladdin stars a male..yep a character with a penis is the lead . So does that make aladdin the first disney male " princess"..why not..every one secretly wishes for their subgroup to be make into a disney stereotype.. So this being 2019 the role of jasmin has to be beefed up and given equal weight to aladdin...being disney and all. Hell why don't they just give her a light saber and claim she is luke's great great great great great..wait for it..grandma.. Now there's a plot twist. Oh wait..sorry i leaked the plot of the next star wars movie. Even though its supposed to be a live action remake.. Anyway will smith gets to reprise the role made famous by robin williams. So people bitched when stills of the movie were released and the genie wasn't blue. Now the trailer was released and will smith is covered in this aweful blue face and body paint...people have said he looks like a smurf...looks like he's in avatar So yeah..people would have bitched if white people were cast in any of the roles in aladdin. Cant do " blackface"/ cultural misappropriation.. but apparently blue is ...cool? Apparently disney felt the need to cover the only black guy in the movie in blue body makeup?.. Like will smith couldn't be a naturally skin toned genie..like somehow dark skinned people didnt exist at this time in that region. I mean the writers have already gone off canon and rewrote the role of jasmine...but letting will smith remain black is a no no? I mean we get the concept that he is a genie..did he have to be blue? And lets be honest for a momment...these actors are the lightest skinned toned arabs ive ever seen.. I could understand a lighter skinned jasmine... But aladdin is a street rat..he'd be constantly out in the sun. Second the sexualization of aladdin Some..people are bitching because unlike the animated cartoon, aladdin is wearing a bulky shirt in the live action remake. He is shirtless in the eariler version. So as creepy as some people are.. Disney has started the pr of how " hott" the actor playing aladdin is.. Funny how there is no comment on the actress playing jasmine..guess its not only cool for a company to sexualize a cartoon character but also objectify an actor. |

After Disney's animated The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin seemed way out of step. I never liked it.

Aladdin is out of step because it doesnt follow the disney formula...intelligent,strong willed girl held back by an oppressive father/ society. As seen in the lil mermaid, beauty and the beast, mulan, frozen,etc. Aladdin is a throw back to where the goofy male runs around and eventually lands the hot chick..

The only Disney films I can stand to watch now are the Marvel ones. Nothing wrong with having a strong female lead or story centered around the female, but make the story worth watching.

There is nothing wrong with a strong female lead, star or hero... Until it gets formulated..now they all are mary sue/ ninjas, etc.
