Has anyone noticed how this film has untarnished Elvis' reputation?

Just a few years ago white millennials and Gen Zs considered Elvis the worst cultural appropriationer ever because he recorded "Hound Dog" (written by two Jewish guys from NY) after Big Mama Thorton.

Now he is loved by those same folks and even has an animated series - Agent Elvis.

I am glad they have solid convictions.

You don't need to be so specific.

Feel free to point out what in the post is not accurate.

I WILL NOT DEBATE ACCURACY OF SUCH STUPIDITY.

The question was rhetorical. For the obvious reasons.

No one hated him in my country and I never even hear of him appropriating anything until I saw the film and became a huge Elvis fan. That just comes from a segment of the west mostly sjw and woke karens or karen trans lol.

He also appropriated Karate from the Japanese. Calling it "My Stuff" (as in "Don't make me use my stuff on you, baby!") doesn't change that fact.

Uh-huh-huh!
