An adaptation completely botches the original theme and message

[u/Morr4Seiya]

Mulan(2020)-They give Mulan superpowers which is not only lame it goes against the message of the original about equality and struggle,plus they removes Shang because apparently having Mulan date her superior was "problematic" even though Shang genuienely respected Mulan and their rank was never brought up

I am Legend(2007)-You know why the story is called "I am legend"? SPOILER ALERT the protagonist is the actual monster,humanity is gone and the vampires have a actual society and the protagonist kills and terrorize them

Animal Farm(2026)-On the very slim chance that Andy Serkis ever sees this,here's the thing Andy,Animal Farm was not a children work it was not supposed to have a happy ending,you never heard of cautionary tales before?

Hawaii also doesn’t just have some marine biology school, it has some of the best marine biology programs in the world as well. This makes Nani leaving for mainland to study marine biology an even bigger fumble

I’m not Hawaiian so correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t college also free for Native Hawaiians?

[u/MTDLuke → u/Dakotasan]

No it’s not

there’s lots of scholarship options for native Hawaiians but there isn’t overarching “free college”

[u/Dakotasan → u/MTDLuke]

Ah. Thank you for clarifying

[u/Mannekin-Skywalker → u/Dakotasan]

No, but of she’s good enough for a full ride scholarship to California, Hawaiian universities would probably bend over backwards to get her in. These scholarships are specifically meant to prevent brain drain like this.

[u/Dakotasan → u/Mannekin-Skywalker]

As I said, Hollywood seems to think SoCal is the center of the universe

[u/First_Foundationeer → u/Dakotasan]

No.

[u/lou-ravenpuff → u/Dakotasan]

Not necessarily free, but you do get a higher chance if you're a native if I recall correctly

[u/RaymondBeaumont → u/No_Prize9794]

can conform. art vandaley studied there.

but does the film really end like that??

[u/TheWorclown → u/RaymondBeaumont]

Yes. Yes it does. Nani gives up custody of Lilo to go study marine biology stateside.

[u/DuelaDent52 → u/RaymondBeaumont]

No, it doesn’t. Nani loses custody of Lilo like in the original, but her community steps up to keep Lilo where she is and then they (especially Lilo) convince Nani to pursue her dreams of going to college.

[u/Funkycoldmedici → u/RaymondBeaumont]

It ends with their home wrecked, and the neighbor who has looked after them since they were kids adopting Lilo. Nani has full ride scholarship to a higher rated school, and a portal gun. She portals in to Lilo’s room, and can do so any time she wants.

I do not know why people lie about how it ends.

UCSD has the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, which has a more prestigious marine biology program than any school in Hawaii.

Only saying this to clarify her desire to study there. Hawaii's programs are great. But wanting to study at Scripps is very understandable, it's arguably the best in the world. Not that Disney should have expected a casual audience to know that offhand.

[u/First_Foundationeer → u/No_Prize9794]

Scripps is far better, but maybe the film makers thought the audience had some idea of college..
