Daiken needs to be japanese or at least half asian.

Hell they could push a new asian guy. But nope everybody is white.

This should be expected; fucking up its Fox’s main sport

I’d be partly upset, but if it means it’s more likely X-23’ll show up, then personally I’m all for it. Unless…they do something stupid and have Daken be the Wolverine clone and have this guy be the post-Wolverine Wolverine. But…I’m hoping they couldn’t be THAT stupid.

Can we just chill? At this point I’d take well-acted over the “wrong” race. I still remember people being pissy over Heimdall, until they remembered it was Idris Elba.

Daken is never going to appear, unless he’s the emo kid in the New Mutants spinoff.

Your view is noted, but being Magegg it is also invalid. :coffee:

Fuck you

White washing media is how we got 21

White washing sucks, but terrible acting sucks worse.

They should aim to get both right but if I’m forced to pick one I’d rather deal with the whitewash.

tbh there’s also blackwashing and femalewashing, so who the fuck cares at this point.

to be fair…i read the book and nothing implied he was asian. i had no clue at all til recently.

Uh…she’s cloned from Wolverine (who’s a white Canadian), and birthed from a caucasian woman…why the hell WOULDN’T she be white? Especially considering she was white when she debuted and has seemed to be white in all instances I’ve seen.

I would not mind x-23 to be some hot native american

At this point x-23 could be birthed from
That one chick from wolverine origins.

I really want Sabretooth involved, and you know someway deadpool gets dragged into this

Didn’t X23 first come from the show X-Men Evolution?

Yea, her and Spike were created for x-men evolution; she was definitely fucking brown

(Glad someone else pointed this out for once.)

Usually I have to be one to remind people that X-23 is a “Canon Immigrant” from X-Men Evolution to comics just like how Harley Quinn is a “Canon Immigrant” from Batman: The Animated Series to comics. Indeed, if we’re talking about X-23 as she first appeared, Laura was rather ambiguously brown with naturally tanner skin than most “white” people to point that she could basically pass as anything except for maybe black:

(Skip to 9:32)

She just gradually became whiter in comics because Wolverine is white and Sarah Kinney was, I think, white. To me, that’s fine since it makes “sense”, especially since having a healing factor means Laura shouldn’t be able to tan anyway if her skin wasn’t already that dark and both of her “parents” were drawn having rather light skin.

That said, there’s basically no excuse for whoever they get to play Daken to at least not be able to “pass” as hapa even if that person is actually “pure” white. I mean, you’re really trying to tell us (read: me) that with as many Asian women go for white men, you really can’t find a half-Asian guy who looks decently close to the part and can act well enough? I call bullshit.

That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a repeat of that terrible King of Fighters movie where Daken ends up as “mixed” as Kyo was: half-white and half-white.

is this the most obvious troll bait on SRK?

Doctor strange had this problem too…

No, seriously, who the fuck cares.

Practically no one knows X-23 and that shit Daken guy, they’re no Superman or Captain America, so no one would care but a 1% of the population composed of whiny nerd manchilds like Zatalcon, which are completely irrelevant for the case.

No one cared that Heimdall wasn’t norse race. No one cared that Ben Urich was not white. No one cared that Jeri Hogarth wasn’t a guy. No one cared that Scarlet Johansson isn’t Russian.

So, please, go fuck yourselves if you care about this. Your opinion couldn’t be less relevant.

As for Daken, AFAIK Wolverine swags with the entire spectrum of races so his son could have been from any race of woman, ha ha.

Laura + Helllion, fox!
