This movie was a perfect storm of stupidity, narcissism, incompetence, and Hollywood. Maybe now we can have normal movies again written with nuanced women like Ripley, Sarah Connor, Beatrix Kiddo, and Trinity, instead of this atrocious Mary Sue slop.
The original can absolutely be enjoyed by younger generations without it needing to be changed. It has tons of great life lessons and allegories, if that’s what you want. It can also just be a fun kids movie. Disney altered it for the same reason they’ve been altering movies for more than a decade now: they HAD to have a Strong Female Lead who is smarter and better than the men at everything all the time.
You’re right but apparently that audience isn’t there anymore.
