Snow White - Redemption Or Deflection?

Ever met a narcissist who admitted they were wrong? No, neither have I. So deflection it is.

The fact that the internet backlash was so bad that they’re changing course at all is a testament to how bad Disney screwed up.

Not only was Zegler coached and told what to say, notice how the makeup she's wearing has softened her features a bit more, to say nothing of lightening her skin tone a lot, and her hair is much darker, longer, more feminine. Combined with the dark dress, it emphasizes her lighter skin tone even more. It's as if Disney is trying to go, "See, she looks just like Snow White. Those bigots are just crazy."

There's nothing wrong with a man saving a woman.

Henry Cavill is an example of someone who, even when he's in something that disrespects the source material, earns the love and loyalty of the fans through his own love and respect for the material and its fans.

Put simply, the best acting Rachel has done in her career is on this current “apology” tour. An adult pretender at their finest.

The thing is, Snow White is an evergreen story. It's not dated because- surprise!- women still fall in love (we always have) and we often still take on domestic roles (we always have and never stopped). Snow White is treated with the utmost reverence by the seven dwarves and she basically takes over and transforms an unsettled household into a home. If Disney wanted to "modernize" Snow White, they could simply develop Snow and the prince more thoroughly and actually add the process of them falling in love. Maybe the prince saves her due to competence (because, another surprise, women actually love when men are competent) and maybe Snow possess a little more savvy than what is portrayed in the original. We can amplify stories through adaptation... not tear them down. Hollywood is missing opportunities left and right, then trashing the audience because we want actual depth. Instead we get *literal* skin-deep drivel. And Zegler is full of it. She's trying to change course as a PR stunt. Hopefully people stop throwing money at these horrible movies (the only part where audiences can actually be blamed- we need to stop funding this stuff).

Let’s all give thanks to the Variety red carpet interviewer that always gives us these gems. Unknowingly showing us that Hollywood is vapid and useless.

Bailey had the smartest possible response to the controversy she found herself in: say nothing and do your job.

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." - Mark Twain Zegler is a prime example.
