So.....Tulip is now black.
Fuckin brilliant!
When will this bullshit end?
>>83298423
>Watching le generic alien drama with Garth Ennis name-dropping
Why do you even do this?
Are you sure your screen brightness wasn't set too low?
>When will this bullshit end?
When whiteness loses enough hegemonic dominion over Western culture industries that it's seen as something worth preserving for its own sake rather than worth actively subverting.
So probably not within your lifetime, suck it up bitch.
you mean biracial
How come Hollywood's idea of "diversity" means more black people? Why don't we see more latino/asian/middle eastern characters?
>>83298423
Literally who?
>>83298661
Because black people are the only ones protesting loud enough to cause economic damage if their demands aren't met.
sage for, we know where THIS thread is going.
OP here
Not being rascist, just asking the question why they can't stick to the canon of the books that's all.
>>83298423
Cassidy's a Britbong? What the holy fuck is wrong with these people?
An African Tulip actually works (especially with the redneck family conflict), but an English Cassidy is just foolishness.
>>83298687
Tulip. One of the main characters in the comic.
And the Texan is a Limey.
>>83298953
What comic?
>>83298423
Look at it this way. Maybe all the white trash villains they meet will call her a nigger over and over.
>now
Didn't we know this like a year ago?
>>83299136
Concrete: Strange Armor.
>>83299136
The Aristocrats
>>83298423
bitch would be killed as soon as she met Jody
>>83299287
Jody will put off killing if he can use it to cause greater emotional pain.
>>83299287
Mrs. L'Angelle told TC and Jody not to kill her.
Jody will do what Mrs. L'Angelle tells him to do.
I didn't hate this pilot and will watch the next episode.
Will watch as well, the comic book was fuckin great. I just wish HBO would have produced this.
>>83298423
>When will this bullshit end?
Well, I don't think they'll invent a cure for autism in your lifetime, so I suppose it'll end in your death.
>>83299470
>>83299554
It's not gonna last. People don't see this as a comic book show. They see another supernatural show.
>>83298423
QT on the right makes my dick hard.
>>83299554
> HBO produced Preacher
> Like the comic, but with more nudity
Sounds like a cryin' shame of a missed opportunity.
>>83299136
hellboy
>>83299554
I think HBO just doesn't want comic shows at this point. I don't see why else DC wouldn't be using a Warner owned company when appropriate.
>>83298834
is he at least pretending to be potato
>>83298809
they took a hard right from the books a while ago
>friendly reminder Seth rogan is the executive producer of this show.
>>83299778
I read some years ago that HBO bought the rights but it didn't take off because is was brutally graphic.
>>83299665
Doesn't she, though?
I must say that I am a fan.
>>83298661
>Why don't we see more latino/asian/middle eastern characters?
They do, you just don't care.
>>83298661
>>83298750
>>83299904
What about Indian characters? Or Asian?
>>83299855
You realize "executive producer" just means he put money into the project, right?
He's not the showrunner. "Executive producer" doesn't mean anything, it could mean he's there every day working with the writers or it could mean he stopped being involved after the pilot.
Sam Catlin is the showrunner, who seems to be a former Braking Bad writer.
>>83300016
there was that FBI show on ABC that had an Indian lead
>>83298423
It ends when Will Smith's wife says it ends.
>>83298661
There's more black actors and actresses
>>83300097
He wrote co wrote the pilot script so yeah I assume it meant he was there every day working with himself
I'm really happy to you climbed out from under that rock OP. Did you know that a live action Suicide Squad movie is coming out in a few months?
>>83300320
Suicide Squad movie? They didn't make any of the charactersfreshdid they?
i havnt read preacher fully in awhile but i already like show tulip better. shes also pretty cute.
>It wasn’t a mandate. If we had found a white actor we liked better we would have cast her. It was just a bonus that the best person for the job happened to be Irish-Ethiopian.
http://www.ew.com/article/2016/05/18/preacher-amc-seth-rogen-interview
>>83298661
because black people make up a very large population of the United States. not the whole world, but the US and that's what these makers care for most. television shows don't need to appeal to asian markets in the same way as movies do after all. it's why you see a lot of diversity push in tv, and far less so in movies.
anyway stop complaining so much, Ruth Negga is a good actress and that's what matters more.
>>83299877
Glad to see other anons like them some Ruth.
>>83298423
your bitch ass better not have a problem with my Negga
>>83300016
TBBT
Off The Boat
Quantico
The Mindy Project
Straight off the top, I don't even watch those shows.
You don't about other races, being on TV.
>>83298423
Because anyone gave a shit who they cast for this character.
>>83300227
*Indian women
Well no shit. It's easy to get a role as a non-white women. Due to exoticity and fetishisation and crap.
Look at pic related. Director makes a western K-pop show and chugs a fit when asked about inputting Asian guys in his show.
>"Asian guys in MY show?! Not gonna happen"
>>83300642
Again this thread is about sticking to source material. That is all.
>>83300804
>blah blah blah rationalizations about how they're not REALLY progressive
>>83300667
>comedic reliefs and >>83300804
Ok.
>>83299799
He's still Irish in the show, yes.
>>83300882
>Mindy Project
>literally the lead and title character
>played by the showrunner
>who isn't conventionally attractive
>lol she's just comic relief, they're not REALLY progressive
>>83300879
>ignoring what I'm saying and accusing me of being stubborn
Here's a real Asian actor taking about trying to make a break in the industry without selling yourself: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&t=334&v=y1nGuhR0lKc
>>83300987
I talked about it over here: >>83300804
TBBT and a lot of other shows (like 2 broke girls for one) is what I had in mind.
>>83301244
are you saying Mindy Kaling is fetishizing herself on her own show that she created? Are you some special kind of retarded?
>>83300804
>Asian guys in MY show
I gotta agree with this. Asians regularly get the shaft in Hollywood, especially Asian men. An Asian guy is never a romantic lead or love interest because they aren't considered desirable enough. (which is bullshit if you look at all the fangirls for Kpop/Jpop)
>>83298423
Er, you DO realize that Ruth Negga (who's actually half-potato) and Dominic Cooper (britbong playing Jesse Custer) have been an shacking up for quite a while, so they probably just cast a real-life couple for shits and giggles.
The fact that she's black has caused the spergy neckbeard version of a chimp-out is just more publicity for AMC.
I don't even care about that. I'm just upset that they shit all over her character and changed everything that gave her depth and made her believable/likable. Fuck this show.
>>83301686
OP here
Thank you
But will watch the show just to see how badly they fuck it up
>>83301446
I never said that . I liked the Mindy show and it was a lot of pressure on her so I can't blame her for taking the easy way out , considering she's the first in everything for it.
You're using only one example to try and prove that something that's been occurring for decades doesn't exist.
>>83298607
This.
>>83298607
Whiteness is always worthwhile
>>83299136
what's a comic?
>>83301838
Fight the patriarchy much?
>>83301904
Not now it isn't :^)
So no Preacher airing today?
Weird scheduling
>>83299136
Preacher
>>83300551
Hispanics are a larger portion of the American population than blacks and Asians are richer consumers.
>>83304211
Hollywood is slow to change and neither of those groups have as big a presence in American culture. Give it another couple of decades.
>>83304270
Hasn't Hollywood actually gone backwards?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessue_Hayakawa
The show is total garbage so it doesn't even matter.
>>83303197
They probably figure everyone's out vacationing for Memorial Day weekend and don't want to air on a day no one's going to be home to watch stuff
>>83298423
I think it works brilliantly especially when we get to his past/family arc. It's going to make everything that more fucked up.
>>83298661
Because Enoch Powell was right.
careful OP, the mods are SJWs and the walls have ears.
>>83301244
So we shouldn't tell stories where there are characters from foreign countries in them, because this asshole thinks it's racist to do an accent?
>>83304482
except GoT
Then again maybe they will be DVRing that
>>83299653
Which it is.
>>83299877
Shame about her unfortunate last name. Kudos on her for having the balls not to change it.
>>83300551
>very large
One eighth. That is significant. But 'very large' shouldn't start below two-thirds.
>>83301485
"...Negga was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 1982 to an Irish mother and an Ethiopian father, and lived in the country until she was four. She is an only child, but has a large family on her mother's side. Her father died in a car accident when she was seven. Raised in Limerick, she has lived in London since 2006."
I fookin love this. Does she normally talk with a brogue and say stuff like 'feck' a lot?
>>83304879
Well...

Paging Mr Odin Quincannon. Will Mr Odin Quincannon please come to the White courtesy phone?
>>83298423
>actress is black
>her name is Ruth Negga
You just can't make this stuff up.
>>83298423
umm... they have pretty similar skin tones
>>83306473
lol right?
>>83306473
>>83306636
She's hardly black, if you say so.
>>83307321
they both look biracial tbqh
>>83298423
They literally got the whitest "black" woman alive, this isn't bad, and Negga isn't a bad actress either.
>>83307435
>I think white people are literally white
Racist shitlord
>>83298607
>suck it up bitch
Why should we? Don't be surprised when we fight back.
>>83307523
lol
>>83307458
I've never seen a blonde, white woman with a skin color like that. I mean, besides Tan Mom.
>>83298423
It's amazing how the slightest thing just tears away the veil and reveals how massively racist people still are.
>>83298423
The fact that she's black/biracial is completely irrelevant in my view.
The fact that she isn't from the East Coast however is pissing me the fuck off. Lots of things about the show are pissing me the fuck off.
Why is John Custer a Preacher? Why isn't Tulip giving Jesse shit about abandoning her? Why isn't Jesse telling Tulip she needs to go on Jody and TC will fucking end her?
>Tom Cruise blowing up
I'ma wait till the first season is finished before I really have an opinion though.
>>83299136
The Witcher
>>83298834
>An African Tulip
The actress is half-Irish
>>83298423
To be honest I couldn't tell she was black while watching though I did have suspicions, the actress has to be the lightest skinned black woman to ever live.
>>83298607
>When white people are no longer the majority of their own countries
Where do you think you are?
Why not complain about the lack of chinese representation in ugandan nollywood films?
>>83307523
>fight back
They're "fighting back" against being oppressed and marginalized.
You're just "fighting back back".
That's why nobody takes you seriously.
>>83298809
Of all the things they changed (that is to say everything) casting an actress who doesn't match with the look of the comic is pretty far down the list of things to complain about
>>83298661
Maybe Black people watch more television.
>>83311270
It's not so much that, its just some people just don't notice when an hispanic/middle eastern actor plays someone who isn't overtly hispanic or middle eastern.
>>83298423
No. It will never end. Never ever EVER end.
Enjoy your suffering.
>>83298423
Oh hey look a change that undermines literally nothing about Tulip's character.
Also, a white dude gets to rail a black chick, I thought you people were all about that.
>>83298661
More than what? More than 10 years ago? Cause I assure you there are.
>>83311724
yeah, people still refer to Hispanics and even Jewish actors as "white" all the time, even during the oscars they were putting alejandro gonzalez inarritu up with the other white people during the complaints about it, people really only tend to see the shade of you skin when it comes to race
>>83298834
Huh.
Wasn't he Irish or some shit?
>it's a /pol/ thread
*yawwwwwwwwwwwwnnnn*
I usually hate this shit too, especially when the actor is shit.
Which she isn't, from what i've seen so far she does a good Tulip.
Stop being a fag.
>>83313423
Iñárritu is white the guy is 100% european
>>83311218
Not being represented in fiction doesn't count as being oppressed, sugar-tits.

He's Irish on he show, don't tell me you couldn't tell that with his accent
>>83304270
Latinos have had a large portion of the american culture mind and peaked during the 90's, it's just that latino's don't really bite onto the "muh diversity" meme as hard as blacks do.
>>83314011
>blacks caring about ""muh diversity"
>implying it's not white yale students that try to feel self-important
>>83314055
Nah, it wasn't white yale students burning down ferguson.
>/co/ isn't tumblr they said
>You're just being paranoid they said
>>83298661
Hugo Strange is played by a black actor now?
>>83314219
Get used to it, shitlord.
>>83314139
Ferguson wasn't about "diversity in the media" and hard left whites push diversity hard if you also haven't been paying attention to the last several twitter media controversies. What percentage of black people do you think really cared about the Oscars compared to the ones on twitter?
>>83315656
Damn.
There are fewer fags on >>>/lgbt/ than in that picture.
>>83307435
Tulip is half Frank, I believe.
>>83299136
The Pastor
>>83299287
That's what happened in the comic, actually
Tulip's fight in the car was ok. It was hard fought and a close call. But the whole helicopter thing with the home made bazooka? Ridiculous.
