Thoughts on Black Actors Playing (Originally) White Superheroes

[KATO]

heres something that will break the internet
how about western ppl playing Asian characters


like goku being white in the movie
or recently scarlett johanssen being the robot in ghost in the shell?

personally nobody in anime cartoons looks asian!
they all have fair skin and big eyes?

whoa.....Scarlett in Ghost in the shell? not interested.......I remember when the rumour of making a live action AKIRA was int he works & Leo DiCaprio along with Joseph Gordon Levitt were tied to it but it was to be Neo NYC instead of Neo Tokyo (that's enough to turn me off personally) but nothing has been heard since 2009 or something.

Yea a white Goku, or using a white B level actor in Forbidden Kingdom w/ the only movie where jet Li vs Jackie Chan haapens, and the main dude is some cracker-jack ass cracka......and I'm a white guy saying this...

i really dont know. I asked for cannibal red and all i got was this lousy t-shirt

Da CC!!!!!

I think that Japan is the one to blame for selling the rights to hollywood in the first place
Like if your gonna do a live action Dragon Ball or Ghost in the shell or Akira
Do it in Japan with Japanese actors...have subtitles
thats it thats all.
(heck at this point im surprised they didnt go after ninja scroll)


shit like if you look at like Trigun or full metal alchemist the guys have blonde hair and blue eyes! If they were to cast..i dunno... hemsworth as vash the stampede, people would lose their sh!t and start saying oh vash the stampede is japanese !!!
yea blonde hair and blue eyes...very asian !!!
lol

thats just my 2 cents

im gonnna wait for a trailer of ghost in the shell to actually pass judgement on it.
I think there are other actresses that can take up that role.
Johansen is like the go to girl for action movies. So I can see why ppl are fed up of her
