Joking mode: His name is not Cottonmouth.

You have to do some serious stretching to come to this conclusion.

How many times do you see a white character, or anyone who isn’t black, described this way in a video game?

You know what? I’ve had just about enough of this nonsense and have better things to do (including watching tv shows I like). I can honestly conversing with you has been one of the biggest wastes of time I’ve ever had on the Internet. By all means, take your victim complex to someone who can stomach it.

“The impressive set design, VFX and fight choreography all prove that every cent the streaming giant spent was worth it”.

They switched their brains off?

People gave Squid Game a pass because its highlights far outweighed its cons. It’s that simple. Yes it could have done better in some regards but that can be said of any show. No piece of media is perfect. The issue with Cowboy Bebop is that on top of being very expensive to produce and lacking the numbers to justify…

I find it interesting that you consider Squid Game “problematic fast food entertainment”, that is designed to be memeable but don’t think the same of a show that had this joke in 2021.

It’s pretty optimistic to claim Smollett was thinking of anyone but himself when he did this. It’s known he’d been trying to renegotiate his Empire contract when this happened.

How would Keanu be whitewashing? The guy is Chinese.

What makes you think Netflix was marketing this to the anime crowd? Hell, they had the original show on their service along with this one.

Spike’s look was based on a Japanese actor and him having a Jewish name doesn’t mean he isn’t Asian.

How?

It’s especially telling that there were an equal number of people accusing it of both being too much like the original show, or not enough.

Don’t.

There are a whole bunch of other Superman games besides that.

Time to blow this scene.

Spike was based on a Japanese actor but the anime’s creator didn’t narrow down his race. When asked if Spike was Israeli, his response was basically “If you think he’s Israeli, he’s Israeli”.

Probably didn’t help that Netflix also had the original anime on their platform.

Doesn’t look that old to me. I couldn’t tell at all that he was 49 by looking at him. Then again, animated characters tend to look younger than real life humans regardless of their age.
