What’s funny is that in the source material she doesn’t even know what nationality or race she really is. She just goes on being who she is, and listening to her ghost, because in a world where you can change bodies on a whim, and where your memories can be completely fabricated, all you have is the present.

You’re comparing Hollywood casting with slave emancipation.

I think it’s odd that people assume that just because Nintendo don’t make regular installments in the Metroid franchise that somehow that means they aren’t “going to make more Metroid games” ever again. I’m positive that if more people had bought Wii U and Nintendo had a significant installed base to satisfy, they…

Consoles can’t handle the graphical power of an arcade game!

I missed that story run, but considering that Marcie is the only one who can speak French fluently when the kids study abroad in Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don’t Come Back), this makes sense.

I don’t know about the rest of you but I thin I’ve always seen MArcie as Asian-American because she shares a very similar visual design to Doonesbury’s Honey Huan.

I actually also have always considered Marcie to be Asian. I’ve never really considered the character to be any other race. Is there a quote saying Marcie is white or something?

I love your Peanuts articles, and this continues the trend!

Damage control.

Yeah, people tend to look thinner when they’re not wearing parkas.

I can’t even with Overwatch’s community.

I’m starting to think the world gets a collective hard-on every time there’s some non-thing to get outraged over.

Stupid

They don’t need to change anything.
