I have to say, I like. (I actually just posted this in the other thread; maybe I should delete it?)
Something I just noticed though; given that they've renamed the Banzai and Ed with more region-appropriate names, I wonder if Scar's birth name is actually going to be revealed in the film.
Also, I've gotta say: I've been looking at public internet response to this in since yesterday evening, and it's amazing how many people are [negatively] freaking out about the majority black cast. (And having Beyoncé onboard really isn't helping with popularity, either, because she's somehow the most "radical" of them all.) Oh well; more room in the cinema for me and my illicitly-bought food and beverages.
