Swimming into Controversy: A Deeper Look at The Little Mermaid (2023)

Disney is back with yet another soulless cashgrab remake of one of their beloved classics. This time it is The little mermaid, but this time they knew they had a stinker on their hands, so they applied the Captain Marvel method of PR campaigning. Instead of going for all the nostalgia, they came out early with the "controversial" casting of a black Ariel, which immediately got all the kneejerk ractionaries on youtube to start pumping out video after video after video. Now they had created automatic buzz for a movie that otherwise would have been a complete bust at the boxoffice.

Did I mention that that Disney is one of the most evil corporations in the world?
