I think the larger problem is that her profile really just isn't all that great.

I'm not a fan of her either as someone who is supposed to be attractive or as an actress. (in terms of her performances) That said, she's an attractive person but I don't see any appeal.

pic related would look much better, not even for the role in particular but just as a profile shot.

Retard, as a weeb I'm bothered by the fact that muh Oshii and muh Kawai aren't involved. Without them Ghost in the Shell really isn't anything special. But of course people who make movies for a living don't know that so they're just taking the name and absolute most base elements of the premise and then doing whatever's popular with the rest.
>>
>>68616426
They'd absolutely have to considering they're so fucking iconic. At the very least they need the big tank tachi for the end scene.
>>
>>68616398
1. Yes but they will be like 'robot eyes'

2. No but she'll wear a leotard or something like that.

The movie will be a lazy and forgettable mess. It won't please fans of the series, and it won't be original enough to stand out because the producers will want to play it safe. It will be made like capeshit and because of this will contrast with all of the source material leading to a muddy mess that will likely get a 60% on RT if it doesn't use a bunch of quips and shit.

It will either go the direction of a generic action film like 'Salt' or 'Lucy' or they will try to spin it like 'Edge of Tomorrow' + capeshit.

It's going to be terrible no matter what because if they take the source material seriously the studios would be too worried it would flop.

The real travesty is how people get mad about the wrong thing. When looking at live action adaptations of acclaimed films like Akira and Ghost, one should be outraged that they are even doing it in the first place.

What are the odds that these adaptations remain faithful, or will transcend the material its based on? Fucking zero. I doubt the director or anyone involved legitametly give half a fuck about Ghost, and will probably just wiki or fast forward through it to get the basic gist.

An asian lead couldnt have saved Dragon Ball Evolution.
>>
>>68623349
>She still has the structure of an anime girl
I just explained to you that she doesn't.

>>68623420
Tezuka was influenced by cartoon characters, not realistic characters.

>Japanese don't have different color hair or eyes, the characters do because western cartoons mimicked western features
Popeye, Mickey Mouse and Betty Boop did not have blonde hair or blue eyes, which by the way are not the only possible features of white people. Color animation didn't even arrive until the 1930s.

And we're talking about one manga artist in the early years of his career. Tezuka started publishing in the mid-1940s. The Astro Boy anime came out in 1963, based on his 1953 manga.

Again, Tezuka started his manga career in the mid-1940s. He was influenced by Disney animation because he was a big Disney fan. His designs resembled Disney CARTOON characters (not the same thing as any and all characters). His designs then influenced some other manga artists to some degree.

Later designs that became popular in manga and anime look very different from the likes of Astro Boy.

>>68624154
They don't "look a bit different." They look completely different and have completely different objectives and underlying philosophies. About the only thing they have in common is that they're animation drawn on pen and paper. The closest equivalent to anime is live action cinema.

Here's another comparison.

Cartoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m43lSzE1DI
Anime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7plEDcWy0Oc

>>68624630
Cartoon animation is about simple, light comedic entertainment in short bursts. There's an emphasis on exaggerated physical comedy, singing and dancing. Anthropomorphic animals are common. Cartoons also have certain aesthetic conventions like the way the music works and the way scenes are shot like they were taking place on a stage.

Anime is fundamentally cinematic. It has used just about every cinematic narrative and visual technique there is, even to the point of emulating the physical properties and presence of the camera and its operator. Anime also covers about the same range of stories that cinema does.

>>

They're cherry-picked to illustrate the point clearly.

Even less serious and low production value shows like Sailor Moon adhere to basic cinematic principles. It's just the norm for anime.

They are literally white, white skinned, all of them, all of them ever.

They also have blonde, brown and red hair, and blue and green fucking eyes.

When was a cartoon realism? They don't make them accurate to japanese women at all.

"No nose bridge hurr durr" they often DONT HAVE A NOSE

They also usually dont have FACES apart from the fucking eyes and mouth line jesus christ.

Not only that but anime comes from the japanese interpretation of old school disney and warner bros.

Thats why weebs draw so badly, you need to read American books from the 40s if you want to draw, not trawl social media for random 'this is how you draw hands' tips.
>>
>>68630183
Nobody in Japan looks at early 20th century American cartoons to learn how to draw characters. Manga has not looked like American cartoons since the early years of Tezuka. Anime started off (in 1963) with an adaptation of Tezuka's 1953 manga Astro Boy, but its cartoonish look was superceded very quickly. Manga and anime today look nothing whatsoever like American cartoons.

I'm sure absolutely nobody will watch this, but here is a bit about the early history of anime:

If Scarlett Johanson or another very popular white female actress wasn't playing the lead role, no one would even care about this movie/know it existed and it would be a hyper flop. You should be thankful.

No.

This is an actual anime from the 80s.

*too vacuous

Every idiot can see that anime and western cartoons are different, you fuck. Now don't pretend you're more entitled to state the obvious than anyone else.
Still your statements were factually wrong. They're not "different forms of animation".
stop-motion, pinscreen-animation and classic cel animation are different FORMS of animation.
Western cartoon and anime aren't.
>>
>>68631048
You're really crappy troll.
>>
>>68631094
>Every idiot can see that anime and western cartoons are different, you fuck.
Except people keep constantly claiming they aren't. Why deny it?

>They're not "different forms of animation".
>stop-motion, pinscreen-animation and classic cel animation are different FORMS of animation.
Meaningless semantic nitpicking.

What are you talking about? And do you even know what "boy" means? It isn't applicable to 31 year olds.
>>
>>68631510
It is, when spoken by a 32-year-old
>>
>>68631562
Even if you were 32, which is extremely unlikely, it would not make your use of the word any more valid.

And, again, what are you talking about?
>>
>>68631598
You got me there. I'm actually 30.

So for the third time: what are you talking about? Why are you unable to answer this question?

The Major is also supposed to look like a teenager though.
>>
>>68632148

Both in the manga and the anime it's established that she is meant to be a mass-produced model that's meant to look like a generic civilian. So she naturally looks like a normal Japanese person.

What is there to elaborate?

Does it take place in Japan? Is the Major ever referred to in the script as Motoko Kusanagi?

If no to both, I don't give a fuck and will passively watch it flop as bad as Aeon Flux.

>>68633307
I'm part hispanic and think she looks more white than japanese

If anime characters are meant to be asian, why do so many have pale skin, big light eyes, and light hair color? I've never seen an Asian with big blue eyes and blonde hair

Why doesn't she look white to you?

becaue they're fictional characters and people existing in their own universe when it's convenient to weabbos and they're YOU JUST DONT UNDERSTAND JAPANESE PEOPLE DEPICT THEMSELVES LIKE THIS THEY LOOK NOTHING LIKE WHITE PEOPLE, THIS IS HOW JAPANESE PEOPLE DEPICTS WHITE PEOPLE IN THERE ANIMES YOU SEE

>>68633558
So you think xenophobic post-WWII Japan's animation industry decided to structure their entire craft on making cartoons about white people?
>>
>>68633649
yes
>>
>>68633558
Why do so many people have trouble with the concept that a character's stated and apparent race are not necessarily, and do not necessarily have to be, the same thing? Where does it say a character who is said to be Japanese actually has to look exactly like a Japanese person?

>>68633565
She just doesn't. I've never thought of anime characters as belonging to any race. They don't looke like real people.

Maybe it's because I'm not a narcissist.

>>68633633
Maybe people are telling you you don't understand because you in fact don't understand.

>>68633692
No.
>>
>>68633747
>No.
what did he mean by this?
>>
>>68633747
If the stated and apparent race don't have to be the same, why can't a white person play a japanese character?
>>
>>68633804
The characters are Japanese and look Japanese in-universe.
>>
>>68633870
it's future japan though
>>
>>68633928
Irrelevant.
>>
>>68633870
but they don't look japanese
>>
>>68633967
no it isn't. there's japs and brazillians living in japan now, so they could recieve more immigration in the future from white countries. it's also "fictional japan" so it could be an alternate universe where they've had more outside immigration. this is just one explanation if you buy in to that they're even supposed to look japanese in the manga and shows which I don't necessarily.
>>
>>68634044
I never said they did.

>>68634054
there's euros* I mean

This is fanfiction/rationalization.

>>68634061
you said they look japanese in-universe

so why can't a white person play a character that "looks japanese in universe"
>>
>>68633747
What exactly disqualifies her from looking like a white person?
>>
>>68631680

I'm literally a gook you fucking faggot
>>
>>68634107
The characters don't look like real people. The characters are Japanese. The character look Japanese in-universe. Ergo the most logical casting choice is a Japanese actor.

>>68634108
Why exactly are you so narcissistic and insecure that you not only must tell yourself that anime characters look white but must also get other people to agree with you that they look white? You need psychiatric treatment.

GUYS, Motoko is nude several times in the anime.

Is Scarlett going nude, too?
>>
>>68634054
>it's also "fictional japan" so it could be an alternate universe where they've had more outside immigration
yeah, that's why the entire second season of GITS is about refugees in Dejima seeking independence, because fictional Japan is totally chillax with the immigration laws.
>>
>>68634186
>people think this looks white
where are the jelly rolls?
>>
>>68634186
Scarlet better be nude, especially since she did nudity in Under the Skin, but I heard that one of the clauses she made in her contract for the GitS movie was no nudity, so fuck that if its true.
>>
>>68634173
Don't get so passive agressive. Just explain me in detail why doesn't she look white.

Fuck that cunt, nudity is part of the film. If you don't wanna get nude then DON'T TAKE THE ROLE

Explain to me in detail why you are still here and not calling for a psychiatrist's appointment.

it might be logical but it won't draw a western audience. you should be able to enjoy the film for her acting performance without getting upset about her aesthetic. a character is more than just it's "shell." hah

You can do better than that, my passive agressive buddy.

You are having a meltdown because I am not validating your perception that anime characters look white. That means you are mentally ill and need treatment.

can't even answer a question. masterful deflection.

I am not required to provide any "proof," I have not done any shitposting, and I have not agreed with you. You are mentally ill.

I have no doubt that you are going to continue this all the way to the thread dropping off page 10. That's how mentally ill you are.

>>68635403

Not the previous anon, but you're really hitting maximum damage control here. It's well known that most anime/manga characters LOOK white, whether or not they actually ARE. Keep projecting though.
