Endgame made 3 TIMES more in China than Avatar did.
It is easier to open a film with an established star. You are saying I am wrong becuse that basic fact doesn’t help your argument.
I am not saying that only extremist racism exists, most people believed in Birtherism becuse of low level day to day subconscious racism, not Trumpain white hot racism. I am saying that you are missing a bigger picture here. It’s not racism any more than other decisons are sexism or ageism.
#39. Every Minor League Game ever... “We would like to turn the mike over to Joe of Joe’s Windows in Doors who will throw out the first pitch to celebrate the new Joe’s Windows and Doors sign in right field. Joe, tell us about your fine products.”
YOU are making it racist by adding race.
If Price were any more of a thin skinned narcissist, Republicans would make him President.
No but what you are calling racism isn’t. It’s 100% greed. Period. No one is sitting in Movie Studio Offices making plans based on racism. They are all trying to make money. They think that casting the most famous actress in the world, star of the most successful film franchise ever, will make them more money. You are…
It’s greed. Not racism. When the same assholes replace white character actors in films today to cast Chinese actors, it’s greed, not racism.
I have no problem with hollywood making a version of a foreign film anyway they want, unless the roles are intrinsically ethnic or they are playing a historical figure, I don’t care who plays them. Meryl Streep is not Jewish, so it was wrong for her to be in Sophie’s Choice? Where does it stop? Are you saying only…
“give the role to Scarlett” to make money. I am saying it’s fine they did becuse they get to choose to do that. And disney took a role from a white actress with Little Mermaid. And that was fine too. We need more asian filmmakers making these films. Not rules forcing them to meet some arbitrary standard.
“Well then, why don’t you shut the hell up” and here endeth the debate? And again, this is about MONEY. They are hiring lots of chinese actors and actress because of MONEY. “you overprivileged, condescending asshole” Also, I would like to point out you know nothing about me and this is all about you and your…
You have addressed this as racism. I was saying it’s greed. They cast who they think makes them most money.
This is all My Opinion. Whitewashing? This was Green Washing. They hired her becuse they thought it would make them more money. Also, it’s completely justified by plot. She is a Cyborg and the less she looks like the women she was, the better. The way to combat this is to not go see the films. This flopped and Akira…
I would like to point out we want more diverse partly becuse people often write best what they know. I don’t want white filmmakers thinking they have to tell the asian experience. BUT I am fine that they try. Milos Forman told great American stories becuse he was not American. He could be more objective. Let anyone…
I just don’t care which movies others make and how they choose to make them. It’s fine if they made choices you didn’t like. Don’t watch the movie. If you want more diversity in films, AS DO I, then you need more diverse filmmakers. They will make more diverse films.
She is actually “race neutral” in all of them. People like you are worrying about the wrong things. Meryl Streep isn’t racist becuse she played Jewish characters. It’s acting.
I also heard that Meryl Streep isn’t Polish or Jewish. We better take her Oscar for Sophie’s Choice back. It was clearly, BY THAT STANDARD, racist of her to play the role. Let actors act and don’t worry about their race or gender or sexuality. You are just as bad - to me - as the assholes angry The Little Mermaid is…
“ Your “she doesn’t look Asian” assertion is ignorant and racist.” no it isn’t. If you guys don’t stop calling everything you disagree with racist, people will tune it out and not care when Trump says something actually racist.. Oh... Too late. She is designed to look white. THAT is THE PLOT OF THE FILM. She is…
