The article is not loading for me. But I thought the controversy was about her constantly throwing shade at the classic movie.

This is what I was referring to:

Zegler also stoked controversy with her views after the 2024 US presidential election. Writing on Instagram, she said she hoped "Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace".

BBC simply shouldn't take the critique coming from fascists seriously, it legitimizes it as two valid viewpoints.

The article mentions the "shade" but it seems she only commented on the elements of stalking and I guess you can also throw in the somewhat necrophiliac element of the prince kissing her presumably dead corpse lol.

But Snow White is based on a Grimm's fairy tale anyway, which are quite bloody and cruel and far from the sweet Disney movies, and they also contain centuries of storytelling condensing a cultural subconsciousness and dreams. Disney was always more shallow entertainment going with the times. Enchanted is completely bonkers too but really amazing movie. So it's all bullshit asking a remake to "stay true".

PS: Holy shit 1.6/10 on IMDB, the trolls are really mobilizing. It's like a weird "undead internet" where a large enough mass of people have been taken over by a hivemind to make things like democratic ratings irrelevant.
