how? $
That head-dress was sourced from Hobby Lobby. I can tell from some of the pom-poms, and from burning quite a few fingers on hot glue in my time.
If they can turn The Kingpin black it shouldnât be a problem to turn Tiger-Lily white. Itâs called creative license, even if it does display a complete lack of artistic integrity.
She learned something and grew as a human being?
I donât find the casting choice to be a problem, I find the source material to be offensive. It wouldnât have been any less offensive if theyâd cast a full blooded native american actor for the part.
Disney wrote Peter Pan?
Why does it have to be an either/or situation? Canât you have offensive and offensiver?
No, no, noâŚwe have no faith in human growth around here. When someone admits their mistakes, itâs always for the money. /s
Hey, uh, Iâm NDN, and even though itâs horrible source material and exploitation, I still think itâs worse to choose to exploit native people without even paying one of us.
Mara Rooney? Rooney Mara?
SyFyâs Neverland miniseries was probably the least offensive adaptation of the story of Peter Pan. Still dubious considering the source, but not nearly as racist as pretty much all the other incarnations.
I like the original story, but I acknowledge itâs problematic themes and the legitimacy of anyone not liking it for those reasons.
Iâm thinking thatâs a reference to Mickey Rooneyâs stereotypically racist character from Breakfast at Tiffanyâs.
I was more annoyed that they used an adult for the role. I think Carsen Gray did a great job in the 2003 film. But the latest film was just sad. Why did they copy a song and dance number from Moulin Rouge?
Then Iâm owed a ton of back pay. Iâm wrong every single day.
Mmm, yes, the fine folks who harass their staff for not being âChristian enoughâ.
To the riches weâre all owed!
Good thing Hollywood finally learned its lesson.
Now, whoâs ready for that new movie about Egyptian people?
Or Jonney Depp as tonto.
I mean if youâre going to go with native american stereotypes at least go with the ones dances with wolves used. I actually kinda liked that movie in spite of the long run time.
Edit: And by that I mean Iâm sure they got the culture bits wrong for the souix, but they largely portrayed them as people that have flaws as well as positive qualities. I wonât deny the overal vibe of âif only we could live as simply and as good as these peopleâ from the film.
Wait, you havenât heard? Heâs pretty sure his great-great-grandmother was part Cherokee or something and heâs also totally a kinda-sorta honorary member of the Comanchee tribe now so itâs OK.
Well I could theoretically claim to be 1/16th cherokee (I dunno since I havenât looked that hard, however letâs say I could for the sake of college grants, and other such benefits) but itâs not my culture so I donât (again, assuming I could.) And heâs fucking bullshit for trying even if he has blood relatives.
