I think so as well.

Do you think the Black man is the King or Grimsby? If he's the King, then why is he never shown with a crown?

I'm glad about that. I wasn't fond of the idea Eric having a brother.

There's no excuse then to not give Ariel bright red hair in post.

Too bad
Mary Poppins Returns didn't get that sequel to keep Marshall and Miranda far away from this.
I don't believe Marshall is responsible for the race-bending and the color-conscious casting. There's no indication from his past work that he particularly cares or is interested in that practice. I think this is just Disney's new company-wide policy. Sean Bailey, the president of production at Disney Studios,
admitted to reserving roles for people of color and women from the script stage before sending them out to potential directors and ABC doesn't even
consider scripts for pilots anymore if at least 50% of the characters aren't from marginalized communities. No individual director or producer has a say in that.
