Forget the race swapping, this alone will bring the movie down. It will just be comedy cringe.

Latifah is an option yes.

Why wasn't Lizzo chosen? She looks just like her

Now you know you can't have a fat black female as a villain these days.

Oh fuck that's right. And they would be exploiting her body positivity as well.

Queen Latifah already played Ursula in The Little Mermaid Live! (2019)

Your welcome. Not a big fan of the singing, but Latifah in a latex dress isn't bad to look at haha.

I think it’s great casting actually and I think Melissa will do fine. She’s a much better actress than most give her credit for.
