Being hispanic is a cultural term, biology doesn't mean anything, same for Puertorican that is a nationalityDisney's Divinity wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 4:59 pm I don't think biology cares if you were raised by your father or not? Who cares anyway, she's an actor playing a role, not playing herself. She's much more talented than Zegler as far as acting goes, imo. As far as personality, it's like night and day.

Re: Wish
Some summaries of reactions to the 18 minutes of footage of Disney’s Wish that the Canadian press saw in Toronto today:
1. https://x.com/1movie5views/status/16919 ... 22105?s=46
2. https://x.com/mistercoat/status/1691871 ... 86343?s=46
3. https://x.com/bitesizebreak/status/1691 ... 83668?s=46
Unfortunately nothing new regarding when the second trailer will drop, but they said the animation looks
, the music by Julia Michaels is strong, the story (while paying honor to the past of Disney) is wholly unique, and they think that people are underestimating how big it will be at the box office.
So, take that what you will. I guess.

Re: Wish
Yeah, but she is Latina (and Julia Michaels is also Latina) and she doesn't stop being part Latina just because her father wasn't around when she was growing up.Pokenonbinary wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 2:10 am Being hispanic is a cultural term, biology doesn't mean anything, same for Puertorican that is a nationality

Re: Wish
If you are not raised hispanic you are not hispanic, you are raised in the culture or being born in a hispanic country (a Chinese immigrant couple daughter born in Ecuador is equally hispanic-latino for example)Disney's Divinity wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 3:34 pmYeah, but she is Latina (and Julia Michaels is also Latina) and she doesn't stop being part Latina just because her father wasn't around when she was growing up.Pokenonbinary wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 2:10 am Being hispanic is a cultural term, biology doesn't mean anything, same for Puertorican that is a nationality
Americans treat being hispanic-latino as something genetic when it's just like being vietnamese or Greek, cultures based in geographical position

Re: Wish
I never denied being Hispanic is "culture"? I just pointed out that her race being Latina doesn't change regardless of how, where, or by whom she's raised.
I'm not sure what it has to do with the movie either though. Wish isn't like Coco, where they attempted to trademark and sell a holiday. This story isn't one that's based in culture, and the most I've heard Disney parade in interviews for PR is the fact that Asha is AfroLatina and that her voice actress is likewise, and that the composer is also Latina. I've never heard them talk about Hispanic this or culture that. The movie's plot is more like Wicked and a celebration of Disney history than some kind of culturally-based film.

Re: Wish
I think so, too. I still think the film is going to be a big hit, personally.D23ExpoVisitor25 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 2:15 pm Unfortunately nothing new regarding when the second trailer will drop, but they said the animation looks, the music by Julia Michaels is strong, the story (while paying honor to the past of Disney) is wholly unique, and they think that people are underestimating how big it will be at the box office.

The movie is set in the Iberian Peninsula (well an island close) during the Al Andalus period of time, it's a real time in history and not something created just for the movie

Re: Wish
If they don't release the trailer today they will not do until Monday at least, weekends trailers never get released because people in blogs and press are not working so they get less traction (unless it's comic con)

Re: Wish
I mean Monday would make sense since it is going to be World Princess Week next week and Monday is the best time for Disney to drop it so they can get it out before Star Wars: Ahsoka premieres on Disney+ on Wednesday. But, we’ll just have to wait and see.Pokenonbinary wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 5:13 am If they don't release the trailer today they will not do until Monday at least, weekends trailers never get released because people in blogs and press are not working so they get less traction (unless it's comic con)
