Re: I don't agree.

Uhhh maybe it's because baldness isn't unanimously portrayed as an evil/fucked-up/inhuman trait?

Re: I don't agree.

How many non-evil bald people are in this movie?

Re: I don't agree.

[(Anonymous)]

Why is your sample size only this movie? Physical deformities are portrayed harmfully across most media--baldness is not. Patrick Stewart's filmography in any given single year alone has more "bald positivity" than any third-rate remake, but can you think of a film where a deformity of this nature is featured as a positive trait?

What way would you portray the witches to communicate to the viewers that they're not human, without giving them atypical physical features?

Re: I don't agree.

[(Anonymous)]

IDK maybe the actual book descriptions? The old version of this movie managed it just fine.

"Atypical physical features" is not the problem--it's the closer they resemble real-world deformities, the bigger issue people will have with them. This isn't rocket science or some nebulous "gotcha".

This isn't about just one movie, tho, it's about consistent presentation. Baldness varies across movies, the hand thing doesn't. If it shows up, I haven't seen it as anything BUT a villainous trait.
