I don't actually think it looks that bad.

I feel like it would get hate no matter what because it's a Disney live action remake, one of the most easily hatable movie trends of the last decade plus.

I mean I like some of the remakes. Maleficent, Jungle Book, and the Little Mermaid are really good in my opinion. The rest are watchable (Aladdin and Cruella) or just bad (Lion King and Beauty and The Beast).

Mufasa was fine (at least to me).

Also, unlike what you may think, this movie does not apply “white-washing” to Taka/ Scar, since he is not a tragic villain here.

His motivation as a villain is that “My brother took away the girl I didn't really have anything with” which is on the same level as Viktor Adler from Power Rangers.

The guy is not a complete monster, because it is shown that he loved his parents, but he is not a tragic villain either.

The movie didn't look bad - aside from Rachel Zegler's haircut. Saw people showing the 1930s styles that Snow White was supposed to resemble, as opposed to the one that was compared to Lord Farquaad. Still, Snow White doesn't stray from how Disney's remakes add or change things to pad the movie to 2 hours, without actually improving it and making us appreciate more how the original is tightly written and paced. Didn't mind that much changing the prince to a bandit part of a rebel group. But just about everything after the poison apple moves far from the cartoon. Even if Snow White & the Huntsman and Mirror, Mirror beat Disney to the race, they didn't need something resembling those two!

Disney technically beat Disney to the punch. Once Upon a Time (2011) already did a lot of what this film did.

And it's hard to beat Once Upon a Time's versions of these characters, mostly because they're the main characters of the show.

Snow White marries Jon(h)athan in a white dress. There is a happy crowd song at the end.

Does anyone actually read these?

She was clearly joking though. She said that they'd filmed scenes with him, but since Snow is so independent they might as well cut him for all she knows. The Prince was clearly not going to be scrapped.

The concern was not that the prince would not appear, it was more that he would be demoted to uselessness, just as happened in the Maleficent movie.

[up](11x) Yes but Once Upon a Time was one of the worst, dumbest, most disposable trash TV has ever aired. People tend to forget its existence.

[up][up]I liked Once Upon a Time. It also still has a super dedicated fanbase years later. So, I wouldn't say it was forgotten.

Anyways I was reading the reviews. Most reviews seem to agree that Gal is the worst part of movie.... Which is unsurprising. How she was good as Wonder Woman I don't know because I have not liked a single one of her other performances.

[up][up][up][up] Maleficent wasn't actually an adaptation of Sleeping Beauty, though. It was as an attempt to make a Wicked-lite with Sleeping Beauty characters.

It was both things? The scene where the protagonist walks into Aurora's christening is pretty much lifted wholesale from the original movie, for instance. The first Maleficent goes into a wildly different direction but it still has obvious roots on the original and tries to tell a story parallel to it. It's a more extreme instance of what Jungle Book did.

The second movie is a wholly different beast, for its own better or worse.

Please remember that, ultimately, fictional works of entertainment are just that.

[up][up]Just going off the first film, Wicked is a prequel. Maleficent, meanwhile, is a loose remake (or at least retelling) of Sleeping Beauty, just with a different spin on it. Don't get me wrong, I know Wicked largely influenced Maleficent, it's just that the former is a prequel Perspective Flip while the latter is a remake/re-imagining Perspective Flip. Cruella, meanwhile, isn't a remake of 101 Dalmatians, that's a pseudo-prequel like Wicked.

It's gonna be hard to get demoted to uselessness when you're barely even a character in the original movie, TBH. Phillip was significantly affected because he was a more active protagonist in his original film, but Snow White's prince is basically a plot device that only shows up at the beginning and end.

[up][up] Wicked starts out as a prequel but does eventually catch up to the events of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, showing what Elphaba was up to during Dorothy's adventures.
