"I think you're free to take your money and buy the entertainment you prefer" doesn't really jive with "I guess this is progress, better get with the times" or "Scarlett Johansson should've been able to play a fictional Japanese cyborg in Ghost in the Shell without idiots complaining about it"
- netsharc 2y agoI didn't sulk and stop watching that series even though the black/Indian Russians were awkward for me in the beginning (ooh let's cancel me, I'm admitting the sight of minority actors was awkward for me), and I didn't care about "white-washing" and I didn't boycott Ghost in the Shell.
- hot_gril 2y agoI disliked the ATLA movie before even seeing it because most of the characters didn't look like the original. This isn't some moral stance, there is simply such a thing as bad casting in a live adaptation. The movie sucked for plenty of other reasons of course, but even if it didn't, this would've detracted from it. Idk if anyone was actually not watching the Ghost in the Shell remake over the casting. The characters look right. If someone out there is upset that the main character wasn't played by someone Japanese, I don't get it, the original character didn't even look Japanese.
