Betting against Halle Bailey’s ‘one-in-a-million,’ ‘star-making’ turn in ‘The Little Mermaid’ is a surefire way to go broke

We’re in the final stretch of waiting for The Little Mermaid‘s theatrical bow, which will no doubt bring about the climax of the storied rhetoric the world has been fielding about the movie thus far. Indeed, ever since whispers of a Little Mermaid remake began circulating back in 2016, the notion (and now reality) of such a thing has been a rather explosively mixed talking point, given the vitriol surrounding remake culture and the love that the Disney zeitgeist has for the original film.

And then Halle Bailey was revealed to be filling the shoes (or fin, in this case) of Ariel, which caused a whole other round of back-and-forth on the internet, and, spoiler alert, quite a few detractors weren’t exactly good-faith players, so to speak.
