Or any demographic with children for that matter. Which is why it'll flop.

No, she's not. I've watched Brett Cooper's youtube channel. She seems more likeable than Zegler.

If that's how you feel then that's how you feel but that means you got some real bad taste in women and actresses then.

Sorry.

Its not woke, its just a modern adaption for modern audiences.
If we look at old sources for many things (such as movies and books) then you will notice, that they slightly change on each adaption and often try to adress themselves more biased towards the current target audience.. This is a Disney production, its for kids and young adults, so it makes sense to target what that audience currently like.

Look at the visual style, the tone, etc.. it screams 2024..
If we take a look at the classic one.

Then you will notice a different pase, tone and artstyle (yes the classic is not a live adaption, but still)

Look at this

You will notice particular this one to be interesting.

While 90’s classics such as Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin proved simple enough to adapt to live-action, Disney has struggled with old masterpieces like Dumbo, Pinocchio and seemingly, Snow White; after all, these films were made more than eighty years ago, and cultural expectations have shifted.


The thing is, what would happen if we started to change the stories of both fiction, but also real life events, to match modern cultural expectations? The answer is that it will divide people, some will swear to original (or true stories, RL) and some will like fiction more and cherish modern cultural appropriation.

I like the ones where Snow White's a vampire.

Well, it does feature a female protagonist in Snow White and it also usually features a very powerful female antagonist in Maleficent who is stronger and more powerful than the overwhelming majority of men in Snow White...

Usually these are two major things that people who complain about "woke" really don't like. It's pretty much the very thing that these people like to complain "that's so woke" on the internet.

Especially whenever a new IP comes along, whether in video game, movie or whatever.

the movies are toned down and use a softer version to not offend the crowd, most famous example swapping mother for stepmother or less famous examples like replacing a suffering servant (who did hit her dead body which results in her dropping the apple) with a prince who kisses her dead body and "extracts" (?) the apple

It's not about woke or whatever made up word you like today, it's more movie being another, another cheap CGI cashgrab that doesn't look good.
Plus really, Gal Gadot? She is hot, but girl cannot act, at all.

Here's the "modern audience" problem. De-sexualizing a character that was created to be sexual, lol.

That's how the story was written 200 years ago. It's the original story. It doesn't have genderbent and racebent characters to please those imaginary "modern audiences" that only buy imaginary tickets with imaginary money.

That's not being woke.

It would have been woke if the protagonist was suddenly not a white person but Latino or something, making the name "snowWHITE" rather weird as the character isn't exactly white, much less snow-white, and also if the Dwarves were no longer played by little people because we wouldn't want to display people suffering from dwarfism in a comical way, and instead they would have been replaced them with a diverse and inclusive cast of just human bandits or somet-OH WAIT!
