“Merlina”, the new Netflix series about the remembered figure of “Los locos Addams”, is now available. Despite the fact that Jenna Ortega has earned the attention of fans for her peculiar dance, other users have denounced in networks that she Tim Burton’s creation is racist due to the antagonistic role that has been given to its Afro-descendant characters.
The complaints point out that the worst thing is not that there are few Afro-descendant actors that are part of the fiction, but that the majority are antagonists or simply annoying.
Burton had already been criticized before for not including them in his films, but in the fiction of the red N they do exist. However, several netizens have observed that the vast majority are antagonistic.
This has led some to think, for some reason, that the director wanted to portray people of African descent as evil.
people’s comments
The comments that can be read on the networks are more than understandable: people have not liked the inclusion of these roles in the new show of the red N.
“’MERLINA’: I really wanted to like it, but I think it’s inexcusable that all black characters are bullies or morally compromised. And why is Merlina hostile to them? Oh. What kind of ridiculous writing is this?
Why is Netflix’s ‘Merlina’ against its black characters?
“The few main black characters in ‘Merlina’ are, coincidentally, annoying thugs.”
“’Merlina’ on Netflix is a Sabrina clone, it’s frustrating and boring. Even the bizarre tendency for one of the very (very) few black characters to be the popular bad girl. What were they thinking?”
“Tim Burton said OK, I’ll put black people in my work, BUT THEY’RE GOING TO BE THE WORST CHARACTERS.”
