I thought he was joking at first but reading the article seems like he’s serious. Is he just mad that the 7 of them were living together? Cause he played a dwarf for years on Game of Thrones
I dont get what he's mad at, does he want no dwarves in the movie? Does he want them to be distant neighbors living all throughout the woods?
Hopefully this is one of the remakes where they do their own thing and not a basically word for word remake ripoff where they basically just dust off the old script like lion king
You know what? I feel him.
O Rod as Snow White would have been lit af
This sort of criticism is so stupid. If it’s harmful than the original film is and Disney should just wipe it out of existence and stop promoting it on their platforms. These conversations are so tiring and circular. Art/media doesn’t have the power that people promoting these sorts of changes believe it does.
I agree with him. I’d do CGI dwarves that look more elf-like
Gonna be interesting to see how Disney responds
Didn't even think about this if I'm honest
The constant remakes would probably be exhausting enough without the intentional culture wars around each one
I hate to say it but I’m glad they didn’t cast HER just because of how bad the backlash would’ve been, but people will still probably be mad about this girl too
I guess the issue with the dwarves is they kind of always were presented as mythical creatures and not people, I don’t really know if replacing such iconic characters makes sense tho, and I really don’t feel like listening to the righties cry about it
"A Disney spokesperson told Deadline, “To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community. We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period,” .
Bahahaajajahahahahahahaa

What do you mean he played a dwarf
Have you watched GOT? He was a regular ass human who had dwarfism what else can he play
I feel like he was hasty to comment before they've unveiled all their plans for the film
But his point is right that would be hilarious to think that Disney is being progressive by having a Latina Snow White if the other factors in the film like 7 almost child like less than human dwarves were the same
I think it's fair for him to think that the plans for their progressive take on the 7 dwarves part should be what they lead with over Snow White being latina
Don't tell me twitter is full of geniuses who think he played some type of magical dwarf in GOT and are replying back with that
Tyrion was a regular ass human who suffered a lot of discrimination for having dwarfism bro , it was a progressive character. He's not saying that there shouldn't be dwarf characters just they shouldn't be like a separate fantastical species.
At least I'm guessing not if it means dehumanising them as they historically have been, I don't know his exact opinion on the whole magic fantasy dwarf thing. but I'm guessing what he wants and is fighting for is just more regular human dwarf representations
