You know your Ghost in the Shell lore, yeah that’s one of her origins but you have to remember that there are four different versions of the story, the Manga, the Movies, the TV series and the latest Arise OVA, as far as i know each one of them is a seperate continuity and despite having tons of overlap (and seeming…

Did you try the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson?

Good point, but i have a feeling if they made an actual Bebop movie they would have found a way to ruin it.

Happy to hear that, i don't want the spoiling an anime classic like Bebop with shitty adaptations, sadly Ghost in the Shell, Akira and maybe Battle Angle Alita might still happen.

Which means it can be a problem with the script or director in those other movies, she has already proved she can act well (even with that said i didn’t see any major problems with her acting in Pacific Rim).

When did i ever say anything different from that !!?

We all know it has nothing to do with identity exploration or deep complex ideas, that’s just bullshit .. When they try to make Scarlet look Asian (using the CG equivalent of yellow face) all that stuff you talked about goes out of the window, and all that’s left is simply a stupid casting choice that is undefensible.

Pacific Rim did make double its budget worldwide for all i care, and again Rinko isn’t to blame for any of the movie’s problems or the delay of the sequel (not sure who or what convinced you of that ridiculous idea).

A lot of people who saw her role in Babel would strongly disagree with you.

Anime obviously stylizes the looks of its characters to some degree but there is no mistake about their ethnicty most of the time, and in anime they make it so clear when someone isn’t Japanese or doesn’t have they typical Japanese features (Like the main character in Marnie Was Here Ghibli movie getting mocked for…

It’s going to fail because of the mentality of the people making it not just because they are using an American actress for an Asian character (and going as far as doing today’s equivalent of Yellow and Black face using CG to make her look asian, it doesn’t get more stupid than this), they aren’t even trying and sadly…

Lols, i'm calm, typing on my mobile phone from outside, the problem is on your side not mine XD

And the Japanese Attack on Titan live action movies were really terrible movies that had no reason to exist, funny thing the only japanese character in the show was Mikasa but in the movie suddenly everyone is Japanese, that's no excuse to make more terrible adaptations

You probably were in a cave when Avatar Last Airbender, Gods of Egypt and Exodus: Gods and Kings were made with that mentality and FAILED horribly .. How many more terrible adaptations do we need to suffer through before some one realizes that terrible casting choices based on box-office numbers and popularity NEVER…

Guy!? She wasn’t made by a “guy”, she was a human .. A japanese citizen born from japanese parents and due to the accident she had lost most of her body which was replaces gradually with cybernetic parts until she had her entire body replaced, also the cybernetic body she uses in the movies and TV anime gets trashed…

Lols, it would have helped a little i guess, but with the Avatar: The Last Airbender movie the horrid casting choices were a major problem and one of the main criticisms aimed at the movie.

The people who made Avatar, Dragonball and Gods of Egypt probably thought the same .. Look how that worked out for them.

Her english is far from terrible, sure she isn’t as good as a native english speaker but she can clearly manage to do a lot better with some more practice.

That’s funny but has nothing to do with our case here, Motoko is not a robot, she is a cyborg, a Japanese citizen living in Japan born from a Japanese father and mother, in most of the timelines (TV and movies) she survived a deadly accident and got cybernetic body parts to replace those damaged ones in the accident…

WTF man!? seriously what the fuck!? Are trying to blame the delays of Pacific Rim 2 on Rinko, WOW!!!
