I see we’re just gonna walk this thin ass tight rope today uh?
Spikes a dirty jew cause he got that big nose.
See you space cowboy.
It’s ok to push against boundaries from time to time.
Kicking off 2020 digging up that Spikes a Jew head canon.
I never saw him as Asian though.
Also Jecht is black and Scarlet Jho as Makoto Kusanagi was trash casting.
For what reason?
I just can’t see her as the Major at all. Having read the manga and watched the shows it’s difficult seeing this character as a white chick. Script and story didn’t help either. Maybe if the writing was better my perception would’ve changed. Just felt like Scariet Jho insert of a Jason Bourne movie.
Only positives were the visuals.
This is Def headed in past pushing boundaries area
I am the opposite, although my experience with Ghost in the Shell is mostly through various anime adaptations. The casting besides her height did not bother me. The reveal in the movie kind of did mostly because it felt odd putting a new version of the Major’s past felt odd in this movie that seemed to piece together elements from all the various canon.
For the movie at least, the Major literally has a robotic body and a big point of it is how the body she’s in isn’t really specifically “her”. I don’t think it matters what ethnicity would have played the role because it basically takes the stance of “I think therefore I am” since all that is still natural for her is her brain IIRC. Apparently the Hollywood movie is not even about the same thing and also has an opposite conclusion of “future and tech = bad” so it’s debatable if it even matters I guess…
Granted, if you wanna argue not from the story theme view but from the real world situation of not using Asian actors, then sure.
In japan making most of the cast black and white people and then the one asian is a korean dude.
Ghost in the shell could have been set in america sure
The reason that alita gets no backlash on all white people is it is set in a future world not specifically japan
Plus if it is japan the major would choose to be made to look like a member of akb48
I saw these on twitter.
Boxer still had clothes in tact after the win pose flex.
SRK is already shitty enough. Can we please not give serious responses to people that say shit like JEWS RUN HOLLYWOOD in a fucking anime thread?
Meanwhile Netflix needs to give me season 3 lol
Legit.
