NO KIDDING he was supposed to act like a gorilla in the new version! Hence, I made the comparisons...that he walked on all fours, exhibited gorilla personality, he wasn't a MONSTER that the original depicted him to be. It's like when they remade Godzilla for the 1998 American version, they made him more realistic...acting like a huge lizard (who gets easily taken out) rather than a merciless unstoppable monster.
As for the natives, YES, they were totally different than the original one and my belief is Jackson did it to prevent any insensitivity complaints that the original faced for its depiction of African American islanders. Rather than show them as just some random island tribe that happened to be black, he wanted them to be more horrifying, act like bloodthirsty orcs...and therefore, letting the audience know there aren't people in this world who actually act like this. Just a perception.
OH WAIT, you haven't even seen the friggin film yet?! And yet you're already defending it? With what?! 😑
I haven't seen the film but I already know a lot about it,enough to back up my statement.
