The Little Mermaid and Representation | THE BIG RANT

In this edition of THE BIG RANT, Chris, Andre, and friend-of-the-show Joe discuss the internet’s freak out over the Little Mermaid being played by Halle Bailey and the typical fury surrounding representation in pop culture.

The guys kick things off discuss race representation, with The Little Mermaid, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Titans, Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon (GOT HOTD?), and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Next they move onto religion representation, discussing Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and the announcement that Sabra, an Israeli superhero, will be included in Captain America: New World Order.

Finally, they close things out talking about gender representation and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and the collective aneurysm the internet had over the main character twerking in a mid-credits scene.
