Oaken

I think people are making out (pun not intended) into this huge deal when Le Fou will probably be as 'gay' as Titus on 'Kimmy Schmidt'. Often played for laughs, for better or for worse, without mocking the gay community.

It's the fact that certain portion of the population don't want to acknowledge the existence of LGBT, or still see them as a perversion, vulgar, or not family friendly. Or worse, make their kids 'gay' or in a more extreme situation, have adult confront their own sexualities.

It's not like Le Fou and Gaston will be in a porn or anything. Like what I've mentioned before, it's probably going to be a Smithers/Burns type deal, which was already sorta hinted in the original toon.

But when the word 'gay' pops out, people get weird. It's the fact that some folks don't want to acknowledge them, even though I bet everyone has worked with gay person, and was completely fine. Because they're people too.

Instead of Releasing one clip after another, Disney could release the Trailer version of "Tale as old as Time".
Not that i dont appreciate the clips.

Exactly.

I didn't even notice either, which to me shows you don't have to make a big deal about it.

agreed.

Am wondering if Watson's recent magazine 'uproar' will damage 'family' box office....

Yeah, no.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

As DarthSkywalker said all of that Storm Trooper's can't be black and women are icky ******** had no effect on the The Force Awakens. These non-troversies are much ado about nothing. The only thing that will hurt the film is if people don't like it.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I get the feeling this will be like Jurassic World. Where the public will enjoy it for what it is. It will have plenty of flaws, but the public won't really care.

Did Disney ever officially state that Oaken was gay? I know people think that but others say he isn't, and that the family in the sauna has a father and a mother in it so the big guy isn't supposed to be Oaken's husband.

Well, if you're right, then I'm in a whole heap of trouble, because I thought Jurassic World sucked.

Honestly, if there should be any controversy, it should be about LeFou being portrayed as a negative stereotypes of a gay man. The gay henchman who lusts after his straight boss is kind of a derogatory cliche. It plays into homophobes' paranoia that gay men are out to seduce straight men. It also seems like a strange character to celebrate as Disney's first openly gay character. Obviously, we can't assess this until the movie is out.

Yea LeFou isn't exactly very empowering representation or anything to pat yourself on the back about. Hes the kind of gay stereotype we got in the '80s.

Though her voice doesn’t dominate over Paige O’ Hara’s, Emma Watson’s portrayal of Belle is damn near perfect. She’s not the animated Belle, she’s Emma Watson Belle which is, the best Belle we need in 2017. She’s the Belle that girls should look up to today. When she takes her father’s place as the Beast’s prisoner, she doesn’t just sit in her room, she’s already attempting to escape the castle Robin Hood style. She’s independent, smart, kind, and headstrong as hell similar to Emma Watson herself.

The song I was ready to see come to life more than anything was “Gaston”. Out of all the songs in Beauty and the Beast, "Gaston" was my personal favorite. It’s the best villain song of all time for me so Condon and Gad had some big shoes to fill. After seeing it, I realized that it’s not the original redone but is its own version and I still love it. Gad is able to not only hit the right notes manages to go above and beyond with his high bars, his charm, and his charisma. It doesn’t matter if his character is gay or not, Gad’s Lefou constantly steals the show. We are given the Josh Gad that made us love him from not Frozen, but The Book of Mormon. His performance here is the reason why he was nominated for a Tony back in 2011. His singing voice and his comedic timing are both so on point that it makes me completely forgive him for annoying the crap out of me in Pixels.

HERE'S A #TBT 2014 PIC OF ME AND JOSH GAD AS WELL!

(fun fact: Gad was the first celebrity I've ever met)

I might meet him again next week let's see.

Just a reminder (for those interested), the soundtrack comes out today. The official DisneyMusicVEVO channel has all the songs from the standard 1 disc release up as well as a few of the demo songs. Since they didn't upload them in order I've created a playlist (of the official uploads) of the songs in order of track listing:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzp4QZQVLWhduDjC-Yps3WNjU9QF8GQmB

I'm still in the process of listening to it, but so far.. I like what I hear
