Recently, Disney released the official trailer for the live action version of Snow White, in theaters March 21.
The film has already run into various criticisms, as shown by the ratio of dislikes to likes: Currently, over 710,000 people dislike the trailer, while only 27,000 pressed “like.”
Some of the reasons netizens have taken issue with the movie include controversy surrounding the lead actress Rachel Zegler. She has faced backlash due to controversial comments about her roles and story’s original plotline. Additionally, she has been the target of heightened scrutiny online due to her ethnicity and visuals.
Korean netizens left comments on a post showcasing the trailer, where many of the comments focused on why the movie is not living up to their standards.
- “‘Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?’ // ???: ‘The Queen, of course.’ (It’s a fact.)”
- “If this comes out after The Little Mermaid debacle, it’s a problem of intelligence.”
- “There’s no motive at all to assassinate Snow White…? The logic is weak…”
- “Where is Snow White with skin as white as snow?”
- “27,000 likes vs. 710,000 dislikes LOL. Forget everything else; just based on the ratio, the reaction is worse than The Little Mermaid.“
Many compared the film to Disney’s live action version of The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey which was also the subject of intense scrutiny. Read more below.
