Auli'i Cravalho at least could pass as someone who hailed from the Mediterranean in that live action show you're referencing. Halle Bailey really can't. This is like the guys who complain that Cleopatra was played by a white woman rather than a Black woman in one of those live action movies (Penelope, I think the actress who played her was), ignoring that in real history, Cleopatra was of Greek Ethnicity, and Egypt by that time was a client state of Greece, so there'd be no reason for her to be black.
