Why was it beloved back then and wasn't considered woke?
Why was it beloved back then and wasn't considered woke?
theyre just tan
it was the 90s, pre-OWS
I never cared for overstylized digitally-colored slop.
Fewer brainwashed retards on the lookout for "woke". Nothing is woke. These fags look back on old things and find they can't enjoy them because it's not all straight white men. And it never was. Everyone is fucking retarded now.
Russia hadn't destroyed American brains with relentless propaganda yet
Curvy med femoids have never been woke.
YOU HATE THESE HOT FUN BLACK WOMEN DONT YOU CHUD? YOU FUCKING HATE THEM!!!! THEYRE WOKE!!!!!
Well at least some people know
we only started caring when they began replacing white characters with blacks
ackually race swapping is a good thing when it’s against wyhtes
ackually the race of the character doesn’t matter, only if they’re wyhte
Can you imagine spending the rest of eternity as a painting on the side of some pottery. Being a muse must suck ass.
Woke stuff hadn't taken over society yet, Christianity was still in control. And a lot of people complained that Hercules was too Christian.
HE RAN UNDERRRRRWORLD
Woke was still in its infancy and hadn’t reached critical mass
Woke wasn't a thing back then.
There was affirmative blaction, I guess, but this wasn't that.
Being a muse must suck ass.
The lesson is clear: never inspire anybody.
80's and 90's were peak "Disney is Satanic" hysteria you're just too young to remember
OP thinks they're black, lmao what a retard.
You're not fooling anyone you leftist faggot
Cause it was just a goof and a homage to Mowtown music. They weren't seriously depicting Greeks as black like modern movies.
Cause it was just a goof and a homage to Mowtown music.
It was actually a parody of black gospel music.
The joke is that they're singing about zeus and shit because jesus wasnt invented yet.
yeah everyone loved Dumbo and didn’t complain that the crows were black! These anti-woke chuds really are dumb!
Why are they singing like generic black gospel singers?
It's a silly humorous bit and they're basically narrators. No, this isn't equivalent to making a serious historical setting with an inexplicably racially heterogeneous cast, which is happening constantly now.
woke didn't exist back then
oh man the cope in this thread is so strong
When I was a kid I thought the joke is that they sing black music, but they are Mediterranean muses.
Motown, gospel, soul, it's all the same damn genre.
Yet it's not you music illiterate faggot
This interpretation of Ancient Greece clearly wasn’t pretending to be faithful at all mythologically or historically. It was actually a pretty interesting take where it took modern America (at the time) and put it into an Ancient Greek sort of filter. In a way I think I got the spirit of the myths very well funnily enough. Anyway th black ladies here are fine because it’s done in a good natured way where it’s clearly not intended to be seen as properly representing Ancient Greece due to all of their modern mannerisms and clearly non Greek musical style. It all came off as very genuine and good natured, the whole movie I mean, which is not at all true for a single Disney movie made in the past 10 years.
In Hercules, the filmmakers decided on making the Muses black because it would fit the Gospel theme of the songs they were going to use. In modern movies, the filmmakers make the characters black because those filmmakers hate white people and want to replace them. Different motivations.
It's true, woke is a 2013 and later cultural phenomenon, TFA and the ghostbusters reboot were the first big "woke" works with palpable contempt for their source material and existing audience
Disingenuous leftoid faggots CONSTANTLY go through media from like 20 years ago and ermmmm and wring their hands and quip "yikes, couldn't make that today" and then also insist that everything was always woke and there is nothing uniquely "woke" about modern media.
Rush Hour 1 is woke, you're a faggot nigger
That is the joke. I don’t know how you can understand the joke as a kid but not as an adult and not even realize it, wtf.
They used to blackwash side characters but they’ve gotten bold by blackwashing the literal titular princesses like Ariel and Snow Brown
They got too cocky
directed by Brett Ratner (giga Kike pedophile currently hiding in Israel)
this
It wasn't really "beloved" at least in my white kid circles I don't know about subhumans
This is such a perfect example to completely BTFO yourself because they can't even show rush hour now without a warning about how not woke enough it is
It's cause Jackie Chan says "nigga" at one point, isn't it?
It's woke
All music that doesn't sound like Bullet For My Valentine sounds the same to me
well that's because you're a millennial faggot
People hadn't developed nigger fatigue yet.
The West is fallen
a lot of singing groups in R&B, pop music, this was like copying hat idea. en vogue
Does this sound like gospel, retards?
they are doing what theyre good at, it was earned
she sounds jewish
it's outdated and offensive
Because they put a modicum of effort to make it make any thematic sense at all. Also a significant section of the audience hadn't been given a cultural autoimmune disorder. People didn't tilt at windmills and spazz about every instance of diversity back then because the entertainment industry broadly hadn't blown through all their credibility and good will yet.
Because the show is American. Why aren't they speaking Greek either? Because the show is American.
Main characters were White while they were singers probably to show that even in the modern age, Hellenism, in the form of Greek mythology, is spreading to even people of color.
Too busy complaining about how they made Zeus and Hera a loving couple.
main characters are two non white men
It was woke well done, no need to deny it
Dystopian
captcha:SJW
Most of the offensive stuff is coming from blacks and directed at Asians, it would still get a pass today. It's impossible for nogs to be racist.
Context/dosage
They’re tan Greek women, and even if you see them as black, heavy racial division shit barely existed in the 90’s. Everyone loved Michael Jackson and Eddy Murphy. Obama winning poured gasoline all over the fire.
Greek is the new Black
I'm almost certain the only reason that warning was added was because of the scene in the bar where Jackie says "wassup my nigga" then ends up in a bar clearing brawl where he beats the shit out of half a dozen black guys.
nigger becomes king
everything falls apart
I think the same thing happened in Egypt
He’s never seen an extremely dark Greek person
There’s a reason people think Kratos is black to this day. Greeks get insanely dark.
When people say they don't like woke or politics in media, what they usually mean is they don't like being told they're way of thinking is wrong and then being lectured about it. Theres a big difference between "this movie has a black character" vs "the writer/director's self insert looks at the camera and reads a speech in some issue of the day"
Nah you’re just a libshit. Blackwashing these days is used as a weapon to dismantle whiteness, and they’re even blackwashing historical figures. Back in the day seeing Eddy Murphy play the Nutty Professor (a race swap) was fun. Now seeing a race swap means the characters being replaced with for a political message.
Blame centuries of Islamic conquest for that
Oh I get that, I’m just saying. The Muses are just dark greek women singing gospel, it’s not that deep
Day #6262838923737 of chuds scouring the annals of media history looking for cartoons to be triggered by
Must be one hell of a luxury for that to be your chief concern in life. Tell me again that privilege doesn't exist.
And certain people look back and say things weren't woke.
White Man’s Burden
I don’t agree with OP necessarily but people like you caused the pendulum to swing directly opposed to you
you should continue making this thread every few days
Why?
Is there even a white equivalent to a black gospel choir?
because it’s a really good and honest way to get opinions from people, and really entertaining to read again every few days
There can be white people in black gospel choirs.
youtube.com
Because it's a modern musical with modern music. Making a group of side characters that sing soul/gospel shit into black women like they logically would look sounding like that isn't woke
We weren't fucking stupid, really. That's your answer. Anyone who argues is fucking stupid.
John Rosenberg
Good post chud approved
It was viewed as weird, but it was seen as more like a Duckman episode than a real movie, where everything is an extension of America (which is how Americans generally think).
yoko has been living off john's name for 4x longer than she actually dated him
I’d go even further and say that a lot of the “message” they try to push isn’t true. Again, the 90s seemed way less hostile as far as racial division and a lot of casting choices were actually based on merit.
The Lion King had Simba voiced by a white guy with Mufasa as James Earl Jones and no one (including the actors) cared because the quality was stellar. Skip forward to today where the entire cast of the Lion Ling remake is black and it’s treated like some black excellence bullshit and the movies terrible
What’s funny is that blackwashing Asians history is next. Look at Assasins Creed Red lol
anti woke faggots are worse than the people they complain about.
modern greek women all look like the one on the left except less pale
This is only said by people who themselves are woke. Should we all just accept blackwashing openly? Snape should be a n
I don't mind push back unlike you, Lil Timmy. We built different cuz.
Because the point wasn't about black washing the Greeks, but because the movie is also a musical, the black characters represent soul singers, which are traditionally black back-vocal singers. It was about their role as singers, not their identity as black women.
If they were meant to represent, say, metal singing, you'd have a bunch of blonde dudes singing and banging their heads.
I never interpreted these characters as being black
i-it's not my own fault!
Back then people assumed it was done in good faith, that the creator just thought "it'd be funny if the Muses were gospel singers" and they really were well-meaning people.
Then those creators went mask off and just revealed they do all this shit because they want to exterminate white men and that has been their plan for decades.
I have to ask people like you, you agree with a lot of the racially charged politics slipped into movies today?
Pre-social media
Thinking any of these people are still at Disney
Nah, they were well meaning. It’s a whole new breed of people working there now.
You sound brain-dead.
This
many parts of the movie were shit, this is an example of one.
Because it was cool and fun.
Woke is not cool, and it's not fun. It's like that english teacher you had who's still single at 40 and thinks posting on facebook is activism.
The difference between something like this and making snow white brown is INTENT.
Hercules is like "what if we made the muses into hot gospel singers with long legs and thin waists who bicker with each other, that sounds pretty neat"
Snow white is like "what if we made snow white brown so that we as a faceless company and industry can ingratiate ourselves with progressives and ALSO get a free marketing campaign through word of mouth and controversy? Obviously, we didnt give a shit when making this film, no one would care about it if it was just a rehash of the original, BUT if we can get the BROWNS in, a lot of boomers and liberals will be at each others throats, so that's gonna look great on our engagement statistics"
See the difference?
>>rosenberg
Nah nigger and brown worshippers will always be bigger faggots. Have a breath mint your breath smells of aids.
"back then"
was made on 2015
at the dawn of the hyper-fixation on wokeness
Wokeness dates all the way back to 2013, retard.
Hey glowie.
nothing is woke
says the USAIDS retard faggot thrashing and flailing about
Pre outrage culture
With any modern rendition, certain people would be seething
I still won't watch The Wire until AI can replace the woke characters.
Good b8 m8.
You are gay if you wouldnt choose the first one
Hercules had the same focus group as Dr. Doolittle, which was released a year later.
The Nielsen Company
communism doesn't exist you stupid fascist chud bootlicker. workers of the world un.. I mean don't unite.
Yeah no the only people worse than woke faggots are those that complain about anti woke people like it's bad to stand against the destruction of art
that’s not what woke is. The movie was about a local american cop, and foreign chinese officer in “modern” times. It wasn’t a story where you were forcing a replacement of established characters. It wasn’t even for the sake of checking off boxes. Both actors were established comedic actors, with clashing cultural backgrounds, that make for an enjoyable premise. Retards like you that can’t see the difference in what is normal, and what is woke, are what give leftyfags any semblance of ground to stand on when they say dumb shit like “there is no such thing as woke”. If you are too fucking retarded to know the difference, or learn it, then just shut the fuck up you god damned faggot. jfc..
it's a play on "chorus", which in ancient greek times referred to a group of people who would narrate and comment on the play but in modern times means a singing group.
kek can you imagine meeting that person in real life
so what do you do for work?
oh, I write the warnings about how old movies are heckin problematic and stuff
Post bmi
implying the intern tasked with typing is the one making the decisions
is this site full of kids, retards or american adults who don't know how the world works?
17.5
It says this means underweight but it has to be a mistake. I look normal
The movie was full of modern American culture transplanted into ancient Greece but done as gags, not serious pandering. Therefore doing fits in
The funny part is that they genuinely think people don’t notice the shit they’re pulling. It doesn’t occur to them that trying to rewrite history so they can claim it as their own doesn’t immediately become obvious just because they concern troll and false flag while they’re doing it.
They’re using a tactic from a fucking Orwell book and think everyone is too stupid to notice.
I’m not sure if I should be insulted by this, or relieved by the reminder that evil people can be so retarded
Racial relations were at an all time height in the 90s
It was understood that black and white community would never really truly mix, but there was an unwritten agreement that the sides will maintain cordiality and have at least awareness of each other. Homogenization would never really truly work when there's no strong identity to unify them. Look at the Romans who managed to integrate people as far flung as Cardiff or in the Mauretania into a strong identity
I've heard it was Romans who had gladiators advertise stuff, and that some charioteer was the highest paid athlete of all time
you must be fun at parties
well sure he wrote it but he didn't come up with the IDEA of writing it, therefore i smart u dumb
they were not trying to sell us the ide greeks were actually black back then
My grandma wouldn’t let me watch this as a kid because it had “nigger music”
I always didnt like it, but not for the black choir chicks.
Disney hercules is ephitome of bad, made for 00' kids adaptiation. Its probably my autism for greek mythology, but it was a rape of some sort, mix an match without any thought, giving almost nothing back.
