I think the critics have a fair point but WB apologized so I guess that’s it really.

I was all set to roll my eyes until I saw the images. I had a friend born with this birth defect and his hands looked exactly like what they designed for the character, which is not even close to what was described in the original book. If they were going to make something up, why make something up to match an actual physical defect that people are born with? Why not give her scales like a lizard or something else completely non-human. I totally agree that if I had a kid with this it would be very upsetting if this movie ended up being a big hit and all her peers were terrified of 3-fingered hands. It’s not the worst thing in the world but it’s definitely thoughtless. The good news is that so far the reviews have been bad some it’s likely it won’t have a big audience.

I love the 90s version with a passion.

This thread is a classic example of barriers being invisible to those who don’t face them.

+1 this was an unnecessary remake and AHathaway is no AHouston

I am offended by the depiction of witches as monsters.

Can you see the people you are responding? Or are you just making assumptions? Not everyone wants to be offended by everything. Not everyone looks at everything has an offense to them. You have no idea what everyone faces. You just assume everyone should think like you. I don’t for one second believe WB intentionally set out to hurt people with a disability.

I am a Wiccan Priestess and am deeply offended by this portrayal. Is there someone I can sue?

NP. I think the poster makes a good point (which is rife on DCUM generally) your failing to see from her / his perspective enforces what he / she has actually said.
