So folks are in an uproar about a young singer and actress; Halle Bailey who got the role of Ariel in the upcoming live action. I wanna remind y'all that Zendaya was rumored to play Ariel in the live action, but no one had a problem with her, so why is it a problem with Halle?
Ariel originally is by Hans Christan Anderson, a Danish fairy tale from 1837. In that fairy tale, Ariel is described as a being "the prettiest of her sisters. Her skin was clear and delicate as a rose-leaf, and her eyes as blue as the deepest sea." That means her skin was transparent like the diphylleia grayi flower.
Walt Disney created Ariel that we know in 1989. And that's how most see that Ariel should be.
Came across this image on Instagram and it does make a point.
