What are your thoughts on the deleted scene where Lilo messes with the tourists? Should it have been included or was it the right decision to cut it? I've seen a general consensus that Stitch killing Pudge was a bit too much, but a lot seemed to like this scene and say it added a lot more layers to Lilo. Here's the scene:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7L2ZY9UFj60
>>153054408>0:42 lilo pointing>instantly think of the fucking wojack memeGoddammit, about the animation, I can see why it was cut
>>153054408why does stitch's ass look like that
>>153054408No, it was a horrible idea to have Lilo unintentionally murder a group of innocent people just because they're White.
>>153054408If 9/11 hadn’t happened, they would have and should have left it in. Along with the planejacking.
The problem with "btw real life issues racism in Hawaii" scene is that there is no other scene like this, so this commentary goes nowhere.
>>153054956It contextualizes the part where she’s building her photo collection. The way it is now it just looks like she has a fat fetish.
>>153054791If you had the chance to animate Stitch from behind, you would make his ass look like that.
>>153054956But isn't the focus moreso that Lilo has no parental figure watching over her so she just acts out? And this gives some direction to how she acts out vs. just making it random where she vandalizes stuff or gets in fights. It makes the location of Hawaii more relevant and personal to Lilo beyond just, "Stitch is trapped cause it's an island".
>>153054975It does not "conextualize" anything, she just takes pictures of the tourists because they are annoying in a funny way (something established in the movie). If she hated those damn white racists, she would not want to keep their pictures.
>>153055013She exoticizes them the way they exoticize her.
>>153054996That is actually a good point. Great point, even. Maybe the scene was cut for money and time.>>153054955The hijacking of a plane is a scene that seems cool at first, but falls apart the more you think about it. Taking Jumba's ship makes infinitely more sense. Not only is it literally free and nearby, but also controls better (and like the small space car Stitch did get to drive).
>>153055038And you want that joke to explicitly make white people look bad instead of it just being a funny quirk, we get it
>>153054996Considering how recently her parents just died, I don’t think she needs more excuses to be acting out. Not that I mind her having them, but still. The dead parent trauma is enough.
>>153055082Except for beating up Myrtle and hammering the door shut so Nani can't get in, does she act out in the movie? She's into weird stuff like voodoo and vampires and thinks a fish god lives in the ocean, but it implies she was interested in that stuff even before her parents died. She gets in a fight with Nani, but that's indistinguishable from two siblings just fighting.
>>153055067Yeah but originally Jumba just wouldn’t have had a ship. I assume the galactic federation or whatever just woulda dropped the two of them off in a pod. It would decrease the risk of Jumba just ditching the mission and running away.
>>153054408Funny how you fake assholes still pretend to care because when you think about it, Hawaii itself is fake, so who cares, its just dollar store French Polynesia.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar0eCuas6hs
>>153055232What the fuck is Hawaii? You mean the North Sandwich Islands?
>>153055232This fucking dude is the fake one. lmao adult metalhead influencer
>>153055077It makes fat bloated mainlander tourists look bad. They just happen to be white. Unless you're a fat obnoxious tourist, you have no reason to be offended.
>>153054408That's hilarious. I feel it could have been kept if it was toned down just a little. None of the "oh look a native", "tourists prepare to die", or "if you lived here" lines. The implication would have been more than enough, no need to be so blunt.
>>153055223>Yeah but originally Jumba just wouldn’t have had a shipThat sounds like "originally the writers did not think about it". Which just proves first drafts of scripts are always inferior to redrafts.
>>153055232I watched that fucking video, and all he says is "americans and the japanese now outnumber the native population for recent historical reasons".
>>153054408It was an okay scene but it was rightfully cut because it has bothing to do with the rest of the movie. People only praise it to assuage their white guilt
>>153055232is there any current day "culture" that isn't manufactured to sell itself? Other than some really isolated people?
>>153055816What if you have no white guilt, but still can relate to the shit Lilo goes through every day?
