>Though relatively inoffensive and, frankly, pretty fair given that the original film came out in 1937...
I always like this line of reasoning, like 1937 was some kind of ancient r-slurred unwoke alien time in America, and storytelling was in its earliest infancy and human nature hadn't been properly plumbed yet; and now, in 2025, our master storytellers create incredible worlds and plots and characters each and every time, because they have their finger on the pulse of the public: we demand whitewashed inoffensive themeless meaningless retellings of stories we already know.
People literally do believe in the 'just enjoy new thing and get excited for next new thing', don't they?
