In this version with so called people of color, I wonder if the bad Mr. Potter character will still be a white man ?

They'll make him look remarkably like Donald Trump, I'm sure...

From now on all movies need to be made in Nigeria or Niger.

To be gentle:
These are unnecessary, and unwanted remakes.

We (many of us anyway) like our old-fashioned illusions. Movies are often pleasent escape media entertainmet. Forcing movies to carry heavy propaganda messages makes them unpalatable. That’s why remakes so often miserably fail.

It ain’t hard to grok...

The message I’m getting from this is that black people are not creative enough to come up with their own stories and so they have to appropriate the culture from other, better people. Is that the message they want to send?

Black folks keep doing cultural appropriation by using the white man’s electricity.

Remaking movies that are not screaming for a remake is usually a bad idea. Making them racial, makes the decision even worse. Because when they fail at the box office, the racial aspect is blamed. In reality, who hasn’t seen “It’s a wonderful life” 100 times? Who is going to drop $20 to go see it again?

“The Wicked Witch will still be white.”

She was green.

A remake of Dr. Strangelove would be hilarious—it would be banned everywhere.

But only after the film switched to color in the land of Oz.

Sometimes I think the only reason they make these movies is to have excuse to cry “racism” when the movie flops at the box office.

“The Wiz was a FLOP.”

And that was when Good Times and Sanford and Son were on the air.

“The Wizard of Oz” movie was based on a novel by L. Frank Baum, published in 1900, so it had nothing to do with the Great Depression. Baum died 10 years before the stock market crash of 1929.

Making is less white will mean making less money. Simple equation.

Hollywood doesn’t actually make movies anymore. They just announce them.

These movies will never be made.
