So /b/, what's your opinion on Scarlett Johansson playing the cyborg chick from Ghost in the Shell? Is it white-washing and proof that media only represents white people and shit on minorities, or is this an example of SJW's making a non-issue into a issue?

The latter.

"but le black people are underrepresented in movies!"

Definitely SJW bullshit. As an Asian, I don't care who plays what role, as long as they are COMPETENT (which obviously remains to be seen, as the movie isn't out yet). FUCK SJWs!

oh the second a black guy becomes james bond, i will join the kkk

>>681421180

With the way Hollywood is buckling down, I won't be surprised when Black James Bond happens. In fact, when it does, I bet you awards nights will be rigged to say "BEST MOVIE EVER" or "MOVIE OF CENTURY - xyz actor is TOO PERFECT" or some bullshit like that.

I really dont care what type of person plays the roll as long as they do it well

>>681421454
i think they should stop making bond movies, like i dont want them to ruin the name more then they already have
>>
>>681420357
i hate sjw types and all that but her name in the show was Kusanagi right? i never watched the show, only played the ps1 game, but i can understand people being upset that a Japanese woman is being played by a white woman.

I don't think this is an intentional white wash to under-represent asians but it does have a lot to do with the fact that Americans cannot watch movies not about themselves. IIRC there is a submarine movie with bon jovi in it that was based on true events, but actually happened to British. the whole thing had to be re-written for an American audience or they couldn't understand/clap at it.

it could be a marketing thing, like who go see a main Japanese person play a role, or a well known, good actor. Then also its a anime to movie and the studio wanted to be safe then go balls deep
>>
SJW's don't understand celebrity value and acting skill.

I work in film, if I was making this movie for a purely Asian audience I would use an all asian cast, however this is an international film to be screened all over the world. It needs an actor that is instantly recognizable all over the world and generally well liked.

The production company has invested upwards of 100 million into this movie. By casting ScarJo they basically guarantee 50% or so of that budget back, something they couldn't do by casting ZhingLeeFortuneCookie, this is just smart business, something SJW's don't understand.

On top of that, showed the SJW hypocrisy. Everyone who complained when the Human Torch from Fantastic Four was cast as a black guy was called a racist, and the SJW's discounted the "Be true to the source material" as just an excuse for racism.

Then this came out and they all bitch that it should be an asian because we need to be true to the source material. just one more of the thousands of examples of the SJW belief that racism is fine as long as white people are on he receiving end.

Fuck tumblr, they are killing my industry.

i personally find it kind of stupid that they are hiring a white actress for the role. how the fuck are they going to say a white chick has the name "motoko kusanagi?"

before you guys start shrieking about how i'm an sjw, i just wanna say i also think the idea of a black james bond is fucking retarded.

either stay true to the character as it was written and has been represented for fucking DECADES or don't goddamn do it at all.

But the Cyborg in Ghost in the shell has a Caucasian body. Is it Scarlett Johansson's fault that the creator of the anime thinks white girls are more attractive than Asian girls?
>>
>>681422013
I don't really think that's it though. We love Monty Python, the Harry Potter series, Top Gear, and quite a few other British films or TV series. Maybe at one point this was true, but definitely not now. Personally, I think it was just safer to cast a woman who is well known as a good actress vs. a Japanese up-and-coming actress. If it was a indie film, sure, the up-and-coming would make sense, but in what seems to be a Blockbuster film, it's better to cast someone that people would already know.

If that makes sense.

she won the role by default. She seems to be the only female that takes female action roles.... it's like how you hate superman b/c the actor changes every movie but is forgivable with scarlett b/c she is the only one.

I don't care that she's white, she's just a shitty mainstream actress and her casting is proof this movie will suck.

My problem with this movie is that it's fucking being made. They'll water down all the existential themes and replace it with big dumb action scenes.
Then, they got one of the hollywood high-class escort (think Jennifer Lawrence with harvey Weinsten, but for Disney and Viacom execs) that's practically a plywood board with tits.

Pokemon would actually work with a white actor since the country that the show/game/manga take place in isn't Japan, and they don't have Japanese names, which seems to be the main cause of the argument. Plus, as it's been said, a lot of anime characters look white.

good question. i guess part of the reason is that with your example we're talking about a show written by japanese people and presented in a traditionally japanese genre (anime) that happens to feature german characters. because of the source, people would probably consider it japanese overall, but according to my argument it would make more sense for the characters to be portrayed by white/german actors.

The biggest problem with it is it will just be turned into an "science is evil" movie

The original felt with themes about things we might have to deal with in the future like how do you tie a crime to someone when their bodies or their actions can be manipulated on such a level they can't tell what was already there and what was implanted, or when you are in able to tie a person to a body.

I don't know about this movie, but there is some whitewashing. I think in one anime they were eating onigiri and the lady calls it burgers or some shit. Also James bond is fine the way he is. Not an sjw, but the burger shit is messed up.

Honestly.

White people have serious aggression problems. If you take 2 white people, put them in a room, they'll become friends, drive each other crazy, then hate each other. Put 2 on opposite sides of a mountain and they'll throw rocks over it at each other. Put 3 in a room, and 2 will gang up on 1, kill him, and then set on each other.

Constantine realized the only way to unite them was to give them weapons and give them a common enemy to kill.

We're all fucking savages with mental problems.

I think it's OK for Americans to use American actors in an American movie. I think it's stupid to call an onigiri something other than what it is, rice ball or sushi is OK, the world will not stop spinning. I don't think it's racist, just xenophobic. Then again Japan takes the cake for that. I guess my idea of whitewashing was literally just that.

I don't care because the Major didn't really look Japanese in the original movie. Not only that, but she is a cyborg. Her body is nothing but a shell, a shell that can be completely replaced and changed 100%. She could have been anything.

Also, the publisher of Ghost in the Shell also stated that he never imaged a Japanese actress playing the Major.

but hey, SJW's who know nothing about the story and the character can get all triggered if they like.

>>681420357
Bitching about an American remake/version of a Japanese comic making the main character white instead of Japanese, is like bitching about them making the movie in English instead of Japanese.

It's for an American audience. The majority of Americans are white, just like the majority of Americans speak English. It's just catering to your demographic.

Fucking SJWs are the worst kind of retards.

They cast Fury off the Ultimate Universe Fury, which was indecently based off Samuel L Jackson.

Ghost in the Shell however is specifically stated as an Asian Robot. I don't really care myself, but it's a dumb argument to state "what about James Bond or Nick Fury" English and American aren't races, so they can be pretty much any race.

they only chose Scarlett because she's an A-list star, and they needed one for a risky movie.

but it won't matter. people will still see it regardless if she's in it or not.

and it will still be a steaming pile of shit regardless if she's in it or not.

having A-list stars didn't help 'Ender's Game' any.

>>681434926
She better show it. if she doesn't get nude in this movie it'll ruin it regardless of how good the script is or how well she acts. Ghost in the shell is extremely sexual and if they cut that out they might as well not even make it.

Kinda pissed bc GITS would allow a nonwhite actress in a leading role but more pissed that fewer are talkin bout how awesome other animated GITS movies are and fuck a live action make and yes she should be Asian bc that's the source material but fuck the west hardcore up the butt no condom fuck you motherfucking robots

I never really saw asian features in most anime characters to begin with. Casting a white person for anime is a non issue to me. She's decent enough to pull it off, it really depends on how solid everything else is. Are they going to double down and create something good and authentic or just half ass a "sci fi" movie and spam Scarlett's name to try to fill seats for a shit flick?

Considering I'm fucking pissed that Idris Elba plays Roland in "The Dark Tower" series by Steven King and won't even give the movies a chance because of this even though I fucking loved the books I think it's a kinda gay decision. Why the fuck do people not want to use the right fucking demographic characters belong to nowadays. As if this was so hard to accomplish. But as I don't care for whatever the name of the movie was we are talking about I find this example not that bad.

The thing about shit like this that's the most retarded is that 99% of the time, the ethnicity of a character in a story is determined by where the story takes place, and where the story takes place is determined by where the writer is from. This means that the race of a character is almost always completely arbitrary.

If Ghost in the Shell had been created by a white dude, she would have been white to begin with and it wouldn't have changed the story one single bit.

Stop worrying about what fucking race the characters are and worry about whether or not the story is good/true to the source material.

Fucking people lose sight of what actually matters so easily.

>>681434781
I havent seen all of GitS's continuity, so I don't know what part specifies her being an asian robot or what exactly that is supposed to mean.

Never saw that version of Nick fury either, but race swapping the comic character just seems like the same premise as recasting just with an extra step.

Personally I don't care about race swapping either (as long as they're well cast and aren't just shoeforning in identity politics for cheap publicity eg. the new ghostbusters) I just expect people to be consistent about their outrage. And the only consistency you ever see is whether swapping to white or swapping from white is the trigger. And that's just racism.

There seems to be an odd double standard where a characters race is only important if not white. A white charcter has no race, and it's perfectly reasonable to change it, but say a black character who's race is never part of the plot... somehow it's whitewashing if you don't cast him black. Or the inverse scenario if the political bias of the person being outraged leans in the other direction.
