You didn’t have a problem with this in 1997

Because it wasn’t shallow and pedantic. It didn’t insist upon itself.

well werent poisoned yet

i didn't watch it in 1997.

they're the worst part of the movie, by a wide margin.

>>212003671
lol, no they aren't. You're a retard, because that movie has no flaws

I don't now either.

>>212003879
That's not Emperor's New Groove tho.

The third act is rushed

Honestly I wouldn't care. Ancient Greece at least borders Africa, mythological characters from "Aethiopia" like the Princess andromeda.
Fucking Heimdall from Norse Mythology would just be forced(keyword) pandering.

I wasn't alive in 1997

>>212003614 (OP)
i did even as a young child because im not a brainwashed americuck

>>212003966
nah, it was fine, even you may find it short, we got more of act 2 which was kino

in 1997, i go outside and see 95% people who were born in my country.

yeah i am sure that's what happened

The use of DEI shit in film at that point wasn't as overbearing, frequent and aggressively anti-white at as it is now so the occasional thing like this didn't bother you. The mentality with race relations at the time was more 'can't we all get along' rather than 'you gonna say sorry, whitey'.

>>212004066
KWAB

Because I was 2 years old.

>>212004113
sounds like even as a child I was smarter than you

>>212004199
well idk, we both ended up posting on 4chan so..

The combination of r&b and soul vocals with ancient hellas is well inspired

I was born in 1997 kek

>>212004066
You have to be 18 to post here, kiddo

Let’s not forget they were all lusting over the white man

>>212003614 (OP)
I did. Italian women shouldn't be portraying Greek women.

>>212003614 (OP)
They were the chorus. Disney took creative liberties and made them a gospel choir. It wasn't a problem, because it wasn't gratuitous, and actually sort of clever.

>>212003614 (OP)
I actually thought it was annoying back then.

Always wanted to colonize this one

>>212003614 (OP)
My "problem" with it in 1997 was that I knew what R&B music was and that it meant those girls were black and greeks weren't black.

At 7yrs old, I didn't need to understand progressive culture wars or sociopolitical racial narratives to know they shouldn't be black.

Because in 1997 I was crawling under the table and pissing everywhere!

i was drinking a lot

>>212004503
yes i am sure at 7 you were thinking about racial issues, diversity and propaganda. You people are terrible at baiting

>>212003879
dangerously based

>>212004562
yes retard, that's exactly what I meant. All I knew at 7 was: that music is black>those girls are black>greeks aren't black. I didn't need to know anything beyond that to know it was wrong.

High quality > low quality

>>212004827
the girls aren't black though, they only sing and talk black, they are greek as fuck

>>212003614 (OP)
You might not care about driving through a muddy puddle once, but after you haven't cleaned your car for a decade and it's caked in mud you realise you should have been more careful and washed your car.

>youre racist and blindly hate black people!
>see, heres an example of when you werent racist and didnt blindly hate black people!
>gotcha! this proves.....uh....gotcha!

>>212003614 (OP)
Yeah because it was a joke that they actually put some thought into that ended up fitting pretty well thematically. They put effort into it. That's literally all you need to do for people to give you the benefit of the doubt. People lash out against shit because it's readily apparent no thought or effort went into it beyond "here this'll fulfill our quota."

They're all voiced by white women

>>212003614 (OP)
Because they were hot, the songs were awesome, and the animation was top notch. Also, they're just there to sing the praises of Hercules and be supportive of their relative (cousins thrice removed or some shit). It was Disney at its peak and they had great staff back then, actual writers. I don't necessarily have a problem with le wokeshit. I hate it when it is poorly done and looks UGLY. I think a lot of anons here are the same way.

Case in point, that animated Superman show with race-swapped Lois Lane. A recent example where nobody complained because they were too busy cooming to the tanned, short haired, tomboy Lois who looked amazing even if the show itself was mediocre. Nobody cared if she was Korean in this version. Nobody cared that Superman was a dweeb in this version. IT LOOKED GOOD. That's all everyone wants at the end of the day.

Live action Little Mermaid did NOT LOOK GOOD. The actress was UGLY, the lighting and cinematography was UGLY (like the rest of live action Disney adaptations), the songs were HORRIBLE (Awkwafina - need I say more). IT WAS SHIT ALL AROUND. IT WAS SHIT OBJECTIVELY. IT WAS LOW EFFORT SLOP CYNICALLY CAPITALIZING ON NOSTALGIA.

I think I understand why cartoon women are hotter than 3dpd. It's because they move faster due to the frame rate. This makes them hot because my human male hunter brain is seeking fast motion and this sort of thing makes me pay more attention to them, whereas 3dpd are slow moving and boring.

>>212004080
Why did Zeus and all the Gods go to Ethiopia for a feast in the Illiad doe?

>>212004503
In 1997 everyone understood that it was an american movie made by americans for americans and that the choir was explicitly referencing those black background singer girls.
Same reason why a satyr is speaking with some american mob accent.
Only absolute fucking retards would ever consider that movie having any kind of connection to the actual myth beyond the names (same with the MCU Thor movies).

>>212003614 (OP)

The movie (and following animated series) didn't take itself too seriously. It was full of modern-day pop references (like Hercules air Jordan commercials, modern malls etc.).

Think about "A Knight's Tale". It's an another movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. Does anybody care that they are singing "We will rock you", a modern pop song, at some point in the movie? No. Because it's not a seriously historical movie. It's fun.

Because it doesn't take itself very seriously, all this stuff gets a pass. It would be an another thing if they were claiming they were very historically accurate and did this stuff.

>cartoon has black female characters
>their entire reason for being black is the existence of black paint on pottery
>their entire purpose in the movie is to sing gospel music
haha yeah i wonder why this was treated differently from modern blackwashed bullshit

>>212005134
this is why the male seeks out the tomboy.
the thrill of the hunt has never left us and modern women have turned the hunt into a sedentary humiliation ritual

>>212003614 (OP)
Those are pretty women with caucasian faces, not negresses. And their colors are those from classic greek pottery, so they fit nicely in the general aesthetic

>>212003614 (OP)
It didn't feel forced. Also Obama wasn't president yet so DEI bullshit wasn't in full swing at the time.

>>212005272
>didn't take itself too seriously. It was full of modern-day pop references
This is why the Percy Jackson book series (the first one) was successful. It was just a funny take on "what if Greek mythology monsters and gods all came over to current year America". Then the author got high on his success and decided to virtue signal, making the characters performatively and retroactively gay. And everyone tuned out

>>212005272
>"We will rock you", a modern pop song, at some point in the movie?
It's literally in the opening credits, if anyone had a problem with it they ought to kys themselves.
I was more fascinated by the fact Knight's Tale was set during real-life 100 years war, and the antagonist is an army commander who both the King of England and the average John consider to be a brutal, genocidal asshole - as if anyone back then would give a shit about brutality in the war against frog people.

>>212003614 (OP)
>heh you didn't have a problem with women in films before disliking this one with the first ever woman. I think I'm making a point, I might figure out what it is one day

Another great example.

The average greek is browner during summer

I'm greek btw

>>212003614 (OP)
It's a parody so it isn't that bad, but it isn't good either. All Greek characters from myths should be White.

>>212005551
Greeks are browner than argentinians

>>212005428
i think the point was that you weren't racist when you were innocent

Thta was fine on the movie but having that mutt as the love interest, or having her at all in the movie was retarded.

I didnt like them then. Thought they were annoying. I was 11. Didn't like brown people then either

>>212005582

>You didn’t have a problem with this in 1997

Thread number 12324856355 where some piece of shit pulls something from the past and claims white straight males would hate it if it came down today.

This is because you make trash on purpose so you can subvert and demoralize people as your only goal is to make everyone as miserable as you are.

We had no problem with Blade, Ripley, Sarah Conner etc.... because they were good characters in great movies.

I also always like to point of that 40 years ago....

Eddie Murphy was the biggest movies at the time.
Bill Cosby had a number one tv show.
Michael Jackson was the biggest musical performer in the world.

But fucking scum like you are always trying to re-write history to push your narrative.

So fuck off cockroach!!!FACT!!!

>>212005694
Feels like the recent NYC mayoral race is a step back toward the OWS class war and of course (((they))) are going apeshit over it

>>212003614 (OP)

Because they were back up characters and had good singing voices while the lead characters were Mediterranean White.

>>212003879
>flawless
Yea no, it was a great film in itself but nowhere near flawless. It was also a bad adaptation from the OG story.

>>212003614 (OP)
It would be incredibly jarring if Disney did a live action remake and faithfully kept half the songs about a greek hero sung by a group of black women.

I did. They sucked.

>>212004302

Southern Italy had Greek settlements/colonies since Ancient times.

>>212004503

They had at least one Black guy in most t.v. shows back then or episodes that had black characters who should have been White. Even the live action Jason and the Argonauts movie had Orpheus played by a Black guy.

Even though the Starship Troopers film had the main cast Whitewashed, the Federation military was still full of people of color.

>>212004562

In the 90s and 2000s, I rarely watched movies about Black gangs for some reason. Blade I could watch since it was about killing vampires but if it was movies about Crips fighting Bloods or some shit like that, I just skipped those types of movies about the gang violence and drug use.

It was weird that Hades spoke yiddish. But the worst part of the movie other than the black chorus is the love story.
