Across the Spider Verse is an ensemble movie with more cac spiderman characters to outweigh Miles. :mjpls:
Same with the Little Mermaid. Try Harder.

Also that's probably why they made what should be a Miles franchise a multiverse franchise (with tons of non-Black spiderpeople) so cacs would accept it :mjpls:
The 1st Spiderverse movie is a multiverse story with a black boy as the main character. I mean for fukk's sake one of the Spdermen is a pig. You're just pulling stuff outta your butt.

The picture of blue Ariel was used for imax releases in all countries

And spiderverse has like 5 notable black characters and did better than the little mermaid which only has it’s title character so I’m not getting the logic here. It’s just another disney cash grab & a lot of people didn’t care for it.
It has a 94% audience rating on RT and a A audience cinemascore, equal to Across the Spiderverse. You can argue a lot of people weren't interested in going to the theater, but it seems most of the ones that did enjoyed it.

On a side note. Spiderman: Across The Spider-Verse did ok in China... Hold up. According to thecoli militant loony lefty pets/shills, this shouldn't happen because an Afro-Latino (black kid) is the star of the movie. Maybe, just maybe, people regardless of race. ethnicity, nationality, etc, prefer original ideas and characters!?
It more so had to do with spiderman being an animated movie, imo....

It was in relation to the fact it was an unoriginal palette swapped character. They like Miles Morales Spiderman.

Everything about the character was the same as in the 89 film, except for her skin color.

I dont know how much clearer it be.

Wow! Absolute babble. Keep defending palette swapped unoriginal BS.

You're the one who made it political with your little "lefty libruls arrrghh!" comment.

It’s all good.

A black woman got the top position in one of Disney’s main IP and it’s introducing black people in different roles to the global market. Between her recent role, Lakeith’s, Denzel Washington’s son, Michael B. Jordan ( with an obligatory rip Chadwick) and several others, black film leads are forcing their way into a global industry where they can be known for more than just music or sports but actually tell real stories (like TLM for example). Regardless of how the movie does, it’s another opportunity to show that people from the culture can branch out and hold their own.

At the end of the day, how can you hate on that?
