My coworker said that he tried to watch Daredevil on Netflix, and couldn’t get past 3 episodes b/c it was boring. 
Thats true. I mean, im always first in line to shit on the chinese anyways. On one end i get, not the outrage,but disappointment in casting scar jo. On the other hand, japan draws all its fucking characters like white people, is known for using negative black stereotypes ALL THE TIME, and china, where a big grip of international film gross comes from, clearly dont give a fuck. So my sympathy for the issue is pretty low. The last thing chinese people care about is a japanese character being played as a white girl.
Asians arent some homogenized group of people. Thats how they act in north america. They come together, and are like we’re asians. Asian power. Meanwhile in varying countries in asia, im sure people are like, man, i dont fuck with them taiwanese motherfuckers like that. lol. I say that for the people who think china gives a fuck about this casting. Like its a slight to all asians, meanwhile all asians aint just one big happy kung fu team like they are in the usa, or canada.
The more i talk about the issue, the less i care. Im almost picking at strings just to even pretend to be upset about it. I think casting the ancient one as a white bald woman is definitely dumber than scar jo playing a japanese character who looks white, and her entire supporting cast except randoms on the street in the anime, look white. I think the ghost in the shell and dr strange thing are happening so close together, that people are caught in an emotional storm of shit thats really not that serious.
Again, the ancient one being a bald white female monk, is definitely way dumber than scar jo playing motoko.
^ first 4 ep was kinda shit lol…
then it picked up…punisher started fuccin shit up…kingpin is back…etc. I really hate the electra character AND the actress playing her. otherwise still pretty good.
I like ScarJo, but I can’t see myself calling her “Motoko Kusanagi” with a straight face. Some animes have ambiguous races with the types of names and locations they use(Attack On Titan, for one), but others make it pretty clear that the characters are Japanese and live in Japan(GITS, Rurouni Kenshin, Samurai Champloo).
That said… No one in a Ghost in the Shell movie should be white. Doesn’t make sense.
I could probably walk into an anime con and find a better Makoto than Scarillajo.
If it is going to be made in a dominantly white country, it will be. People have to accept that.
Just like how Goku is gonna be played by a latino guy in Mexico and a brown guy in India.
funny thing is that when i run at max settings my PC goes dark mid game, and then it shuts down to the desktop. I had that problem with metro 2 until i manually turned the fans to 75% and +20% power, it seems I can’t do the same for dark souls 3.
I think it looks better. I didn’t run the texture maps on Dark Souls 2, but the lighting does look really similar. The real upgrade is that the particle effects are much better and textures are better as well off the bat. It’s not giant leap for sure.
And that shit is fucking grimey as well. :tdown:
It’s not like that can’t put the actresses on some time diet to get “fit”. I see fit Asian chicks on the regular in my area.
It’s only been a couple weeks since there was talk of how crazy it is that Ben Affleck and the Superman actor got those physique’s in that short amount of time.
You trying to say that can’t happen with the actresses the blog posted?
He looks pretty cool. I wonder if the sonic hands will be his V-trigger.
So far, been in a meeting for three hours. I can’t take much more.
The US has a ton of different races. It was built that way. This isn’t Russia or Germany… They can find Asian actors. Hell, they don’t even necessarily have to be Asian. As long as they look and act the part, it’ll be fine.
That’s some silly shit. I can only see that being justified if you can’t park outside (like in Midtown Manhattan), but if you’re at that point you REALLY don’t wanna be driving this tiny shit in Manhattan traffic. You WILL get bopped. Probably can’t even legally ride it since it tops out at 20 MPH.
You can buy a decent cafe racer for $1,600. Fuck a scooter/moped. You’re not a pussy, are you?
Is it going to sell to the masses tho? Cause that’s all that matters in the end. Not to please the weeaboo clique, but to get the Mormons, the rednecks, the southern racists, and any other large white collective to see it.
You shut your wanna-be Jets to dance my ass off ass right there.
Cafe races are PRACTICAL in a city. Small so they’re easy to park; nimble so you can weave through traffic (and get away from cops since this is illegal); relatively low maintenance that you can do yourself; cheap on gas; practically don’t need to insure it since even if you hit something most if not all damage will be done to the bike; cheap to store during the winter.
So eat ALL the dicks.
Oh, he was talking about season 1 lol. I thought the pacing was fine in that one, especially with the gradual buildup of Wilson Fisk’s character; I liked how he was so commanding that his lackeys would get offed just for saying his name.
That said, I have only one episode left to watch of S2. Puni-Shane is great, but yeah, Elektra gets more and more annoying as time goes on. I already didn’t care for Karen in S1, but she’s even worse here. Turning into the Sakura Haruno of Daredevil, fawning over the Punisher and all that. Also, the Stick torture scene was all kinds of

get hype when mainstream behemots greenlight a beloved franchise/story/cartoon/comic
procedd to get mad when said mainstream machine lets them down, fully knowing that the mainstream machine doesn’t give a shit about satisfying the core audience as its not for them.

No matter who they got to play it, I’ll wait until it bombs before I bring out my cup of hate. Even given that GITS is one of my two all time favorite anime movies, I’m not gonna cry when they make this 2 hour cosplay bomb. Hollywood fucking up isn’t even the kind of thing to rustle my jimmies anymore. The only thing they can do is leave me pleasantly surprised by not making a total trasheap out of it that ends up not even being worth the paper that the tickets were printed on. Ghostbuster girlz. I’m looking in your general direction. I dare not look directly at it, lest the overwhelming amount of fail steals my very soul.

Did SRK kick anyone out just now, or was it just me. I tried logging in but kept getting “permission denied”.
