Yeah, the top one's been made to look white, the bottom is her natural (except for a nose job) jewish profile.

This movie would not have been made without a big name. The IP isnt hot enough, the effects budget is too high to crank it out with a bunch of fucking nobodies.
End of conversation.

>makes a completely irrelevant point
>thinks hes proved something
moron
I don't care the actress as long as they do massive cg touchups to make her a literal perfect android body. Otherwise, it's completely fucked.
>>69087179
You can't really say that this is character has to be played by a Japanese actress, hell maybe the character isn't even Japanese. I know that in the source material she is, but this is a movie adaptation. As long as they change the narrative to fit the current actress it doesn't really matter.
Example:
MC and her family are in Japan when they get in a huge car accident as a child, both her parents die and she needs extensive surgery and robotic prosthetics. Because no documentation survived or any identifying markers on her parents, she is then adopted into a family that renames her.
You can easily have this just be a flashback or whatever to explain her robotic parts, and show how she needs to switch them out periodically as she grows.
My main point is that as long as the narrative allows it, then there's no problem with a white actress playing the character. Hell even the original publisher of GITS didn't envision her as Japanese.
Forget about the major, we can all agree that Batou HAS to be played by John Cena right?
>>69089823
you could just say that she was born japanese but changed her appearance to look caucasian because it would help her in certain missions or something.
>>69089823
I'll appreciate your post, please don't be sad when you see these bait threads tomorrow
>>69089582
it's not irrelevant. he says that the movie couldn't be made without a big name like scarjo
>>69091256
it is irrelevant, because no one denies WHY she was chosen.
the thread is about who would be a better choice for the role.
maybe spend some time with your english teacher to improve your reading comprehension, kid
>>69091356
By saying "Who should it be" they are saying "It should not be her." and they are saying "The reason is invalid REEE FUCKING NORMIES."
Or am I being baited?
>>69091888
my bad man, i thought >>69089419
was replying to OP.
would you point those people out that deny why she was chosen?
I don't understand what we're supposed to infer from this poll. The options are fairly even. The majority don't care very much. Or are you just trying to start a discussion about casting?
They can cast whoever they like. If it makes the movie bad, then the movie is bad. Judge the end product as a whole, not the individual pieces.
