Because they were hot. All straight white men love hot black queens
Only the long haired one
They were North African not sub-Saharan
Because they didn't do it motivated by malice, people notice the difference
yep. some people can't see it, but those that can sure do. It's the same as people who have evil eyes. some are just blind to it, they see a smiling mouth and think "happy nice guy".
when i was in elementary school, a nice old native woman came and did the "muh native culture" routine for us. We weren't super into it, but it beat a normal school day and we learned to love her.
my kids get to listen to morning announcements that say "we recognize this land belongs to [list of 8 random native tribes]" and they have plaques around the school that say the same. it's indoctrination
>and we learned to love her.
cuck
any kid would love a walking, breathing signal that you aren't doing any math that day
>not wanting to learn math
woman

Do canucks really???
My favorite is when a Canadian city/community building/public park/etc. is named after a whitoid and they not only feel the need to change the name, but call it something unpronounceable like the Shx'áãëu'3ç'i Community Center. Gonna happen to Powell River within the next five years.
It's called McCarran
I don't care if he didn't worship Black folk and didn't like likes, the airport is named after him because of all the work he did for aviation in Nevada. He was the main mover in getting the thing built.
If you don't like it, demolish it. Actually pay for your virtue signaling for once

the entire name "British Columbia" is problematic and must be changed.
This tbph. Leftoids will gaslight and pretend that it's the same as randomly making a European historical figure black though
Read: I saw this movie before my brain was buckbroken by online extremists.
You mean: this movie came out before every company and branch of government browbeat white people over the head with insane leftard bullshit for 10 years
>JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES GOYIM IT'S NOT HAPPENING, IT'S ALL THOSE EXTREMISTS
Kill your fricking self you scum. It's been years since these companies began shouting it from the rooftops with full transparency, and you're still here trying to gaslight. Light yourself on fire.
But it's always been happening. You just didn't care about it before because you were an innocent child who didn't analyze media through the lens of israeli cabals.
Yes, I was blissfully ignorant when I was a child, thank you for that observation homosexual.
It's just the one cabal, actually
this. they did it because it was cool and fun, not due to some yiddish ESG requirement.
Aw sweet, schizo kino just dropped
Stop gaslighting you disingenuous homosexual
Bingooo.
They did it because they thought it'd be fun.
i didn't love it
yes they did
This. It was silly, not moronic. Also singing gospel is a genuinely good part of black culture, it's not subversive degenerate thrash like twerking.
accurate
WHO PUT THE GLAD IN GLADIATOR?
For me It's 'one last hope'
Hercules is probably my favourite Disney film
I loved 'Go the Distance'.
based, I liked the 2nd from right too and Meg in the movie
dibs on 2nd from right, also thread theme https://youtu.be/RRq7lLawQB4 also Meg is the best Disney 2d girl
Zendaya would be perfect for this role. Unironically.
nah if we're going dark let's also go pretty, i pick Ella
No zendaya has the perfect attitude. Also she is white enough to pass as greek
you may be right, she can also sing well
>Meg is the best Disney 2d girl
She unironically is, yeah.
Absolutely disgusting. Truly horrid. Meg's temperament is clearly that of a sultry israeliteess.
God the tall one in the middle made me so horny as a kid
The fat one too a bit
They took the word gospel choir and made it contemporary because the whole movie is a fun play of clashing contemporary stuff with Ancient Greek. When the movie gets serious in tone, the less you see if modern humor. It’s a good fun balance for a kids movie.
>ywn have a troupe of black women sing your praises while you embark on a hero's journey
Why even bother?
They didn't keep talking about how black they were and how white herc was or ever hinted at contemporary socio political racebaiting. They were just characters that happened to be black.
The same is true of The Little Mermaid.
Any other bright ideas?
If you think that propaganda piece they just released is at all similar in quality and intention from the animated Hercules movie you a literal homosexual and should go frick your own butt.
Prove that you aren’t projecting and explain the difference.
You didn't actually answer him.

I literally only saw this here where people obsessed over her race that much, they obviously tried to pander to the liberal fantasy of multiracial cinema, but morons here took it way more serious than anyone else, you homosexuals marketed this movie, FOR FREE
No. TLM remake is a caribbean setting for no reason whilst Eric is still white. Ariel is a black girlboss while Eric is a useless moron.
>for no reason
It's because that's where the Black mermaids live.
>Eric is still white
Yes, he's a prince. It's called colonization.
>It's because that's where the Black mermaids live
There were white mermaids too, King Triton is white
I've got no explanation then. Sounds pozzed
That the mermaids look like the various human subspecies attached to a fish implies that there was NOT a sea monkey that migrated around and convergently evolved into human lookalikes. Especially since the selection pressures of the ocean are different than on land and would express a different phenotype
Either every human subspecies conveniently diverged it's own little branch of mermaids, or there's a single mermaid group that branched off an established human subspecies. We will assume they are still closely related enough to produce fertile offspring. This group migrated around the coasts and land bridges and got regular injections of new genes from the nearby human populations. Although considering there are male mermaids, the amount of hapas compared to the overall population should be low
So the most likely explanation is that Ariel's mom was raped by an escaped black slave or was into some kinky stuff and king triton let it slide because he had 8 other wives securing his bloodline
>TLM remake is a caribbean setting for no reason
Her best friends in the original are a tropical fish and a Jamaican crab moron
Because they loved Herc’s BGC
greeks did complain, but nobody cared back then
I didn't even know they were supposed to be black
And I'm not enter convinced they were, actually
Agreed, they were generically swarthy supernatural characters in a setting in which several supernatural characters are blue and gold and shit
i love Hercules, he's the coolest guy and he is always kino, i wish i was like him bros even the Japs love him
R.I.P.per'd
i don't care what bugs like or not like ffs
You may not care, but your opinion is irrelevant - it's super important what they like because Japs dictate much of the current entertainment and culture. They are the last beacon of non-pozzed hope in this world, in terms of animation and video gaming.
yap
While it's true, they are under attack and in a few years no matter what they will enter a sort of "hibernation" mode due to population collapse, a lull in innovation due to many old people vs very few young people but that should resolve on its own but it will make them culturally vulnerable (no innovation) and that may be taken advantage of by ~~*them)) to push importing tons of migrants who will forever destroy Japanese culture like the west has been destroyed.
Is this worth watching? The webm has me interested.
it's basically battles between historical characters, with insane asspulls, drawn-out fights, pretty bad animation, but overall a lot of fun. I'd say yes. The entire show is just tournament battles
the animation looks like a slide show and most of the show is seeing 5 frames of movement in one episode with the rest of the episode being dedicated to audience reactions and characters exposition dumping
You could say that for 99% of anime.
it takes it to an extreme level
No, read the manga

US conservatives weren't completely moronic back then, good times (or more exactly they didn't gangrened social medias as much as they do now thanks to chud financiers)
never go full moron
I believe the mo-town energy works, because its fun. These moronic homosexual writers these days forgot the entire reason for diversity, TO BE DIVERSE.
Do something different, use the strengths of its difference. Modern homietry in media is terrible because they arent utilizing the Black folk they push to the front. They take talentless nobodies and put them on a pedestal because of their pigments. If you insist on multiculturalism, show me it. Dont just race swap and do nothing else.
Lazy writers.
>picunrel
I thought the problem was making the characters race/gender/sexual orientation their entire identity. Now you’re saying the issue is they’re not black/female/gay enough?
I think he's saying that there's no purpose for it other than propaganda. Hercules was an original film and decided on a specific theme for their songs, and they matched it. It's like the Labyrinth, they hired a black choreographer and black backing singers to make it have a little more funk, and it worked because they had a purpose. Or Luke Cage, they had black musicians regularly playing songs, and it worked because it fit the objective.
But when a film just goes "let's change an existing character for no reason at all", it's clearly for an agenda and not a creative decision.
It wasn’t trying to be divisive. They weren’t cracking jokes about Hercules’ God privilege or some shit. They were just fun
Black person Ariel didn’t bring up her or prince Erics race once. It had zero bearing on the story. You know that’s not the problem.
>zero controversy and in fact everyone loves it
says who? maybe in muttland "everyone loves it"
I'm sorry. Everyone of significance loves it. Happy?
It was before the time where there were message boards where russian trolls keep posting stuff like this to make people mad.
And all it took was them lusting for the BOC.
it fit the vase painting design
It was done very tongue in cheek with them singing in a classically gospel, soul fashion. And it was perfect. Actual music of the time wouldn’t be snappy enough for the movie. If this were executed today it would be boring period ‘accurate’ chants sung by black women pretending to be Greeks.
Greece didn't like it. Not specifically the black muses, but the whole film being a wacky American comedy just using the names of their mythology. They detested the film for making a mockery of it.
Modern Greeks are moronicly coping thinking they in any shape or form inherited Hellenistic culture, they are Balkan Christians, not Ancient Greeks
It's the history of the country they live in.
So should Turks in Izmir or Istanbul claim Ancient Greek history for themselves? Should Persians claim to be totally ethnically pure Zoroastrians? Should Americans claim to be Native Americans or something? "History" is only relevant in so far as it has coherence and linearity to the "now" of a nation, Ancient Greece has had less influence on Greek today than the Ottoman Empire, and Greeks obviously are not Ottoman vassals as a culture, they are today a Balkan Christian nation, very similar to Macedonia and Bulgaria
It would be as ridiculous for a Greek to go "WE WUZ PLATO" as it would be for a Bulgarian to go "WE WUZ STEPPE KHANS"
Not really. Before the Ottomans conquered them, they had been calling themselves Romans for over a thousand years, since Rome absorbed them into the empire. The whole Greek thing is an absolute modern LARP. They don't even believe in this fricking Zeus religion and haven't for 2000 years.
It's not about believing in it, it's about taking the mythology and turning it into just American comedy with the names.
Why don't they make their own mythological cartoon movie then?
What happened to the real Greeks?
Absorbed into the roman empire and then genocided by turks.
Got Slav'd.
There is a video of Zero to Hero performed by actual singers and dancers for the animators. Check it, it's on yt, it's fun and cute.
It also proves the scene is very doable for a live action, but I'm sure they're gonna frick it up anyway.
If this came out today people would complain and everyone knows it just like all the examples of "based blackness" people often point to. The truth is people who ever posted on pol or complained about the mermaid or whatever are the problem.
True, also the case with the supposed “strong female characters done right.” Ripley and Sarah Connor would generate uproarious seethe in 2023.
If it came out today it'd v decried as appropriating black culture and exploiting black voices to serve a white narrative
Disney would apologize to the film, rhe director would have to donate to the NAACP
>Zeus and Hera are depicted as a happy loving couple
>not one cow fricked, seen or implied

Megara best girl with best song

Top tier 90's Disney imo
Some might say the Greek choirs are the ancestors of the Gospel ones, so it's not that farfetched.
Amen. I dig the Titans designs as elements/forces of nature.
I take it that's Demeter besides Athena and Helios behind Aphrodite, but who are the bearded guy behind Ares and the purple-skinned blonde lady?
Haephestus or whatever it's his english name. The blonde lady is of course Aphrodite.
Nah, Aphrodite is in the foreground, between Ares and Dionysus.
Thanks, that's interesting. If she's Persephone, she should have tried to reason her husband. But this is a Disney movie where Zeus and Hera are happily married, so I don't expect it to be mythology-accurate.
Supposedly Persephone was meant to have a big role in the movie before the idea was scrapped and all that remains is her presence in a few background shots.
Man, they blew up on that, it'd have been a great idea to have Persephone either following HAdes in her plans or trying to tardwrangle him.
I wonder how Disney has been treating Hades after James Woods unrelenting basedness
Anyone else they'd just recast and insist whoever is "the real" Hades, but he gave so much personality to the character they changed it to fit him
He also really, really liked voicing him, to the point of showing up to voice him everywhere
Apparently that lady is supposed to be Persephone
A Greek Chorus is a theatrical device originating in ancient Greek theater involving a small group of performers—who are usually unrelated to the central action of a story—commenting on the central action of a play. The chorus speaks directly to the audience and may not interact with the main characters of a story at all. Their purpose is to underscore the moral themes, actions, character development, and messages of a story to the audience.
>Literally looking at the camera and explaining the message
So much for the "peak of civilization"
>blackwashes
But those have obvious caucasian faces and they look pretty much like the stylized figures in greek pottery. So there's no proof they are intended to be Blacks
Pauly Shore is way worse though
WHY DOES ANCIENT GREECE LOOK LIKE LAS VEGAS
There was also Samoan Hercules. Nobody cared because Greeks aren’t white.
If it wasn't paired with the ideology behind it, it would be a quirky little change. After being brow-beaten for 10 years about race and blackwashing, then after watching companies push for diversity by abandoning merit (among other fricked up things), it's impossible to see it as anything other than an agenda designed to convince the viewer instead of simply entertain. You know the reason they did it wasn't because of "representation" and woke points, but as a fun gig. No one fricking cared because the intentions behind it were pure and this entire culture war we're in the middle of couldn't have been fathomed. It just didn't exist.
>No one fricking cared because the intentions behind it were pure and this entire culture war we're in the middle of couldn't have been fathomed. It just didn't exist.
Yes it did they have just gotten more obvious and we are more awake to their intent.
https://infogalactic.com/info/M_(1931_film)
I thought they were supposed to be darker Mediterraneans, not black.
They're Argentinians.
I wouldn't even call it "blackwashing" cuz it's just a gimmick for entertainment purposes, they made the Muses/Chorus black so they could sing it all black gospel style and get a lil sassy widdit, while the characters in the story all remain Greek.
It was done in a fun, self aware spirit, not with the spiteful, self-serious "THEY BELONG HERE, OH DO YOU GOTTA PROLLUM??" attitude that prevails in "representation" slop today.
Im gonna get a lot of flak for this, but we all know far left gives the best head. I’ve made my choice.
Hercules is the worst and most forgotten animated film from Nu-Yid$ney anyway
It wasn't during the highest levels of basketball american fatigue. As long I see blacks in tv and movies, relative to their population, as in 14% of the time, then we are good. Otherwise, it becomes a problem.
Because they are GOSPEL singers
All the gods have unusual skin colors as a stylistic choice in that movie, so it's still ambiguous enough to just dismiss it on those grounds. Although it's clear the animators snuck in a bit of blackwashing underscored by their gospel songs, they've basically got plausible deniability - as opposed to shoving it into your face and demanding that you like it as with TLM.
I didn't see it as blackwashing, I just assumed they were a parody of some black singers in the US.
They did it in a way that was stylistic and didn't felt forced. They weren't making random extras in Hercules black
Because turning the Muses into black gospel soul singers was funny, not intentionally subversive and confrontational.
Things just came out then. There wasn't a year long marketing cycle to question. The movie just happened in front of your face and what they went for worked.
