Casting a brown skinned woman as Snow White will never not be silly.

It's similar to Jack Reacher, it's made very clear in the books he's a tall, physically intimidating person. And they cast Tom Cruise to play him.

Would be better if they actually made new movies with different cultures stories instead of just remaking the old shit too.

They do this outrage bait on purpose though. American society is brain rotted and we need a cause to support or hate. Even in children's movies.

who gives a piss, like genuinely

beyond her name, is there any reason why snow white should be white?

and, like, even then. "brown skinned". Zegler is super pale, you’re just mad she’s not a WASP

anyways fuuuuuck disney for a bunch of reasons, but "casting POC for traditionally white roles" is not one of them.

Pretty sure the original text describes her skin as white as snow

In that case no human fits the description, not even albinos who are more pink than "white as snow".

Well, apart maybe from black metal artists.

fuck it, black metal snow white. doing something original for once

Even the tale is perfect. Witchcraft, hate, murder, life in the forest, fantasy dwarves, a tomb, and torture. It hardly gets more black metal than that.

I'd watch that.
